Admissions
Admissions at Case Western Reserve University
Programs here admit roughly 33% of applicants. Moderately Competitive.
- Direct admission to BSN—no separate or secondary nursing-school application, and no pre‑nursing prerequisites or waitlist step. Clinical courses and patient interaction begin in your first semester.
- No TEAS or HESI testing requirements are listed for BSN admission. I found no evidence of such exams being required on official FPB or university pages.
- University-level (overall CWRU) acceptance rate for all applicants ranges in publicly available data roughly between ~29–37%. This is for general admission to the university—not specifically to the nursing program. No definitive nursing‑specific admissions rate is published.
- Sources: overview rate ~29%; alternate sources report up to ~36–37%
- Undergraduate BSN progression requirements: must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above by the end of the junior year; must earn at least a grade of C in all core and nursing courses; receiving two unsatisfactory grades (D or F) in nursing, natural science, or behavioral science courses may result in separation from the program.
