<p>I don’t know much about CWRU.
if you didn’t get at CWRU then apply to CSU “Cleveland State Universiyt”.
and then transfer to CWRU later.
CSU is a great school for international students ,freshmen can save up to 50% of tuition.</p>

<p>You seem like a strong applicant, especially in terms of extracurriculars which is very important to Case! I would not suggest applying to another school just to transfer to Case, as neither schools looks at that fondly. Plus, there certainly is no guarantee of admissions to Case later, especially for engineering. In terms of financial aid and scholarships, Case gives out a high number of scholarships, but financial aid for international students is a completely different department. I would suggest e-mailing them and they might be able to give you an idea! Hope this helps!</p>
