Weatherhead reviews graduate applications in rounds from autumn to spring. International students should aim for the earlier rounds, by about February, to allow time for scholarships and the visa.
Full-time master's and MBA programmes start in August.
It's the F-1 student visa. Get your I-20 from Case Western Reserve University first (they need your deposit and bank documents), then pay the SEVIS fee, complete the DS-160 and attend the visa interview. Book the interview early in peak season.
The MBA, business analytics, finance, accountancy and supply chain are popular. Applicants need a bachelor's degree and strong English, around IELTS 7.0. GMAT or GRE requirements vary and waivers are sometimes available.
Weatherhead offers merit scholarships to many MBA and specialist master's students, including international applicants. Earlier applicants usually have the best chance.
