Hi! Thank you for the response! It's good to know I wont be the only one commuting far! I think it could be good as it would force me to wake up early in the mornings, and unwind in the car before and after classes.
Of course, enjoy your time at MCW! Very jealous and very excited for you!

Not sure about your particular situation but it can all be done electronically and took me less than 5 minutes to retrieve my credit report and then send it to the school. if you log in to MCWconnect and follow the credit report link on the financial aid check list you can do it electronically for free
Yep! You can do it here. Annual Credit Report.com - Home Page
Yeah I tried that but unfortunately it couldn't verify my identity. Mailed it awhile back hoping it comes back before April 30
You could also try getting a credit report from Credit Karma, Chase Bank, a discover credit card or another similar service (all are free). I don't know if MCW needs on from Equifax/Experian/Transunion, but it is worth a shot!
I have the exact same question. I feel like a lot about me is already in my application...not sure whether to list experiences/ qualities or to rewrite some essays.
I retrieved my credit score through MCWconnect but at the end I didnt see an option to send it to the school
Hi there! I'm a current M2 at MCW. A 30 minute drive is definitely doable, I have quite a few classmates who do that or longer! Our two years have obviously been influenced by Covid, so we have more things from home than usual. In normal times (all I know since my Fall M1 was normal!) anatomy lab is required and 2x/week for first semester and part of second semester. Then you'd also have a clinical skills class about 1x/week, and then the occasional required class throughout the semester. I'd say it's quite doable, especially if you end up not being a class goer (which most people do end up just watching class from home!). MCW also has free and close by parking. I'd say if anything the most annoying part may be that it'll take 30 minutes to get to the area where most of your classmates live (as most of us do live in Wauwatosa or nearby) so it could make social things a bit more work. Let me know if I can answer any other questions
I personally haven't gotten one, but i know of some people have been awarded some merit aid. They may be working from Wisconsin resident to OOS students based on how some other schools work.
Yes, I was awarded a merit-based scholarship
Congrats! Was this in your package when you first got it or did it update recently?
Thank you! It was not in my package when I first received it. I was notified via email, and now my package has been updated to reflect it
Congratulations. Did you receive it today?
Has anyone else seen WL movement, particularly for MKE?
I assume GB and Wausau would need to have a class confirmed sooner since they finished interviews earlier and they start at the end of June vs August for Mke
I just went to check out the area around MCW last weekend. Basically, the answer to your question is "no," although the Wisconsin Athletic Club is across the street from MCW and is very nice and has extensive weights, pool, and lockers/showers, etc. The rate is a very reasonable $70 or so a month. Feel free to DM me if you want more info as I checked out a few gym/trainer options in town.
Huh, I heard they had a gym in the basement? $70 sounds mad expensive when I'm used to having gym access for free throughout all of undergrad lol
I believe it does yes, I think basic cardio, weights etc. Covid restricts it to two people so I can’t imagine it is very big.
I can't say exactly what MCW itself has to offer but I heard about the Wisconsin Athletic Club (which I visited) and some other options from current students. Let's get big bro--one place or another! #BodyWeightWorksToo : )
why would you assume you're not getting off the WL?
MCW and I both said/think that there will be WL movement. Why would you not think you're getting off the WL?
congrats on getting pulled from the WL! Did they call or email you to let you know?
I got it and I don’t think I’m missing anything on the list.
Yep! I also have completed all of the required steps and got the email, so I'm assuming it's just a general reminder to all accepted. The only thing that applies to us now is to make sure to select Commit to Enroll if you are for sure going here on or after 4/30. AMCAS is down for maintenance though today and all day tomorrow, just as an FYI.
I don't know about in-house vs NBME exams, but their website shows that the pre-clinical curriculum goes until the Spring of MS2, which makes it two years.
I heard they are using in-house exams now. Don’t know about the block lengths
Yeah I believe it is in-house during the pre-clinical years, but it is still NMBE for clinical. With step 1 going P/F and pre-clinical years P/F too I don't really mind non-shelf exams
Yes, it is safe to do so. I would recommend just blurring your SSN though. Emails are not encrypted, so you should blur sensitive information. Everything else on your credit report isn't very sensitive.
x2 - good luck to everyone!I'll be withdrawing here shortly. Hope my acceptance goes to one of you!
Good luck everyone
Current M2 here! There is a gym in the basement, but it's small and the equipment is old. Think hotel gym size. Some people certainly just use that, but a lot of people do join the WAC across the street. I find it to be very worth the money to pay for a gym I enjoy going to!
+1, good luck to you all!I'll be withdrawing here shortly. Hope my acceptance goes to one of you!
Good luck everyone
Gotcha, thank you!!
Appreciate this update! I am on the Green Bay waitlist and it's my top choice.
