They will invite you to make a presentation and determine if you're hired. I guess they will look at your background, achievement, and ability. Especially, your research direction should be aligned with the group.

I applied for Case Western's Biomedical Sciences Training Program (BSTP) when I was a senior in undergrad. I'm guessing whoever's reading this is a prospective grad student, maybe at Case or somewhere else, since a lot of it is just general advice. Hope it helps someone. The application process is pretty much like other grad schools - you need a few essays, some letters of recommendation, your transcript. Next, some selected applicants visit CWRU & Cleveland for a few days. During this time, you'll interview with five professors (one at a time) in the department or field you are interested in and get a chance to talk with a panel of different professors. You also get plenty of time to hang out with your graduate student hosts, tour the lab areas, and check out Cleveland.

Got a fast reply after applying. Interview was set for 2 weeks later with the director. It was a very straightforward conversation. They asked about my experience and current projects. I heard back about their decision within two weeks.
