Hello, I'm an incoming M1 in the class of 2015.
Just thought i'd share some tidbits.
Interviews are conducted on Fridays about 2 times a month. MCW provides a shuttle the day before the interview in the evening to the medical campus where there will be current students for a meet & greet with pizza available. If you are participating in the student host program (which I did) then you will be picked up there. Your host will provide you with transportation to the school in the morning by 11am which is when the day starts (allows you to sleep in). The interview day has a LOT of interviewees there (roughly 60), however you will be impressed by how well organized it is. You will have two interviews, 1 with a faculty member (I had a physician) and another with a student for 30 mins each. The interviews have a reputation for being laid back (mine were) but of course not every interview is the same. The school also provides transport back to the airport for a minimal fee (I think 10 bucks) on the interview day. Overall MCW makes transportation VERY easy.
If you are granted interview you have a good chance of being accepted. MCW is not a school which interviews a lot of people and then only accepts 20% of them. Based on
http://www.medicalschoolsinusa.com/Medical_College_of_Wisconsin.html MCW accepts a little over 60% of the people it interviews which is great. In addition, the school will review your file on the Thursday following your Friday interview and will send out admission packets the next day. In my case I was notified via email that I was accepted on Thursday which meant I only waited 6 days to find out (compare that to other schools like NYMC which can make you wait 12-15 weeks).
However, your curriculum will be completely different from ours. You will be part of the first complete class which will use the new integrated curriculum. This curriculum was piloted by the class before us (the current M2s) by about 20 students. They will be using the next year to make appropriate changes in response to student feedback. So while you will be apart of a new curriculum, it has been tested out and so you won't be the true "guinea pigs".
MCW typically puts people in a "small pool" after a favorable review and then extends interview offers from people in that pool. You can be sitting in the pool for a long time. In my case I was small pooled on 8/23 and was ultimately granted an interview (my first of the season BTW) on 1/17 which I scheduled for 2/18. In other words just because you dont hear anything from MCW for months doesnt mean you are necessarily out of it.
If I can remember anything else to add ill post it later.
