Editor's notes
- CWRU's CDS rates extracurriculars Very important, alongside rigor, rank and GPA, and ranks the essay one notch lower. With no supplement to write, your activities list has to do the work. Use the description lines to show what you built or led, and add a résumé or research abstract through the portal if it tells the reader more.
- The Nov. 1 date is two different choices. EA is free; ED I is a contract. In fall 2025, 263 of the 1,053 ED applicants were admitted. Pick ED only if CWRU is your clear first choice and your family has run the net price numbers.
- If you want a full-ride or full-tuition shot, mark Feb. 15. The Wolf, Squire, Smith and Stokes scholarships require their own application and essay, and none of it happens automatically.
