Case Western Reserve University

What are Case Western Reserve University’s supplemental essay prompts?

If you’re applying to the Pre-Professional Scholars Program, which grants undergraduate admission and conditional admission to Case Western Reserve’s School of Medicine or School of Dental Medicine, you’ll need to complete the following prompts:

Prompt #1

In the college application process, you are constantly prompted for a list of your achievements, awards, and accomplishments. While this information is useful to us, we are interested in hearing more about you. Describe an event, achievement, or experience of which you are particularly proud but that will not show up on a resume, may not garner any recognition, and does not appear anywhere else on your admission application. (750 words)

Prompt #2

By applying to the Pre-Professional Scholars Program, you are applying to gain admission to professional school earlier than students who apply in the traditional way. Please indicate why you’re interested in your chosen profession. How do you see yourself being particularly suited to this field? What events and/or experiences have led you to your choice? This essay should be between 250 and 500 words in length.
