Anyone else nervous for Monday?
Did you go out downtown after the social by any chance?
Anyone else nervous for Monday?
Yeah went to a little dive bar which was a lot of fun. My host's girlfriend was one of the bartenders there. Were you there as well?
When I called this morning and asked how many people were on the waitlist the woman said 220 and didn't differentiate into groups.
doc of life and plu are you instate or out of state??
i called to double check and the nice lady i talked to said there was seperate in-state and out of state waitlists and there was about 50 kids on the in-state waitlist (i'm in top quartile there). she also said there was about 200 kids on the waitlists, so perhaps only around 150-170 on out of state list (just speculation).
When I called to ask today, I asked how many were on the waitlist. She asked me if I was in-state, or out of state (I'm OOS, but it's not a state school so I don't really see why that's relevant) and she said that there were about 175 people "in my group." So...I took that to mean that there is an in state and an out of state waitlist, and there are about 175 people in the out of state one. I could be wrong, but that's what it sounded like.
She also said that they have gone all the way into the bottom half in the past, so 2nd 1/4ile and bottom half doesn't mean you're totally out.

For those of you who were accepted here but withdrew, did you get your $100 doposit back?
Also, what do you have to do to witdraw from here? Do you email the office of admissions? Or do you have to physically write a letter and mail it in?
Thanks, guys.
Congratulations to those accepted this morning!
Quick question: Did both IS and OOS waitlisters receive the email this morning about probably not hearing until tomorrow? Or was that just OOS that got that email? Just curious.
Fellow waitlisters,
I just called the office of admissions and asked about movement. They said that they had only offered 1-2 spots (Congrats to those yesterday!) and said that they were giving students holding multiple acceptances until Wednesday to make their final decisions. It's kind of weird that they keep pushing this deadline back but it is what it is. They told me to call back thursday to find out more about movement. Good luck to you all.
Just got the acceptance call! OOS
Definately coming to MCW. I have another acceptance in hand but I'm going to wait to release it until after I get the packet from MCW.
Just got the acceptance call! OOS
Congrats!
On a side note. I'm an OOSer from CA. What do current students (or anyone knowledgeable) recommend I go about renting an apartment close to school?
I've looked at the resources online at the MCW website and I was also wondering if anyone used the roommate registry before to find a roommate?
Thanks
Some of my classmates found their rooommates through facebook. There is a class of 2014 group there so maybe you can take a look at that. There is a roommate registry at school, but I don't know how often it's actually used.
Some apartment complexes my classmates live at are The Reserve, Tosa Village Apts, Wilshire Manor, Underwood Station, Dolphin Square, and a couple that I don't know the names too (don't even know if they have actual names).
Other people live in duplexes and houses around the school. For these, it's best to come and set up appointments here in person.
Being from CA myself, I know it's not an expense you want to deal with and would much rather be able to figure things out from CA. I was lucky in that I know an upperclassmen and he forwarded the ad for my current place. I just had the people take pictures of the room I would be in, and basically determined to live here based on that. Made sure of some things that were important to me (noise level, cost, non-smoking, etc.) Turns out, my roommates are awesome people, so I guess I got lucky in that sense.
One thing you could try is find a roommate and then pretty much let him/her decide where to live. It's more work for them, but if they are willing, why not? Unless you want to be more involved in the decision process. Then I would actually come to Milwaukee and survey the area yourself.
Anyway, those are some things I think may get you started. Facebook group for 2014 is probably a good place to start.
I got in from the waitlist this morning!
I'm out of state and was in the first quartile. It's my first acceptance (and second year of applying!), so it definitely feels good! Not to mention the bottle of champagne one of my coworkers went out to get after I got the call. Getting through the rest of the day is going to be hard with that thing calling my name!
Good luck to those still waiting, even if it's slow, the list is moving.
