Something along the lines of, "Have you ever been charged or convicted of a legal offense (other than minor traffic violations)? Please include offenses that have since been expunged. Yes or no option. If you choose yes, a nice little box pops up for you to explain the offense.

There is also the same format for the question, "Have any disciplinary actions been brought against you at a college or university?

Thanks!
 
Current M3 @UW here. Just wanted to wish everyone luck in the application cycle this year, I know it's really stressful and a lot of waiting but hang in there. If anyone has any questions I'm certainly not an expert but I'll give it a whirl so feel free to post or message me. Take care! 🙂
 
Rejected via e-mail. First one of the season. Good luck to the rest of you!

EDIT: OOS.

No, it was an email for me too.

Me too. 🙁 OOS and stats on the low side.

I am very disappointed as I was quite interested in the school, and I think my family would have loved their spouse/family support as well as the city.
 
Just received complete email and I'm IS. Submitted secondary on 8-22.

"The Admissions Committee will begin this process in September. Review order is based upon strength of application and the date of submission of the secondary application. Interview invitations will be extended beginning in late September through February."

same here.
 
Please, Wisconsin, just give me an interview. I would LOVE to go here. I regret not including on my application that my Dad was born there and my grandparents lived there for a long time.

I should get this after "Confirmation of Receipt" email correct?

Yeah, you will get this following the receipt email. This email is the official "complete" email, following Wisconsin residency determination.
 
Application complete and confirmed as an IS resident!
 
Just completed my secondary now 🙁 Took me forever to get the additional LOR needed. Does anyone know if they will automatically download my new letter from AMCAS (add Friday to AMCAS) now that I've submitted?

And I would really love a shot to interview here. Spent A LOT of time in Wisconsin and I absolutely love the "outdoorsy" but still hip vibe of Madison. How come I seem to be so enamored with every other big 10 school except my own 😕

Yes, I added a letter right after submitting and they received it the next day I think.
 
so according to their twitter account, interviews have started going out. I saw one OOSer on here with an interview, an IS yet? assuming it will probably take IS a bit longer with our later submission date

I was under the impression that IS wouldn't receive IIs until "late September". The wait is gradually killing me though.

Holy Hell. All activities since high school? I graduated high school in 2001! This is going to be a rough ride. Hope I don't get in trouble for the couple years I spent being a loser.

Tell me about it! I graduated high school in 1997, and have lived in 5 different places since then. It took me hours to fill out that activities section!
 
I'm OOS, complete 8/1, haven't heard anything yet. Just waiting for that rejection email pretty much, hahaha
 
OOS, no rejection yet. 8/10 receipt of completion, but ... it's a month now. Hoping for the best.

Do you think they would put me in a "not good enough for interview but not bad enough to reject pile"?

Very possible that happend. They review based on thrength of application, which leads me to believe they interview that way as well. On the other hand, it took Indiana about a week and a half to reject me after rejections started to go out so who knows. It seems like getting into Madison as an OOS is a real crap shoot.
 
I was complete 8/1, still haven't gotten rejected either! OOS as well.
 
OOS CT here, interview invite for Oct 12th. Anyone else going to the social? I'm having trouble finding flights that arrive and leave at an appropriate time... Suggestions, anyone?

congrats on the II! are you trying to fly into madison? unfortunately it's a small airport and flights are scarce/more expensive. you could try to fly into either milwaukee or chicago and take a bus here, but IMO it's not worth the hassle. you might just have to deal with whatever you're able to get into madison
 
aw yiss, my first II

Thank you for your interest in applying to the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health MD degree program for the entering class of 2013. You are invited to attend an interview day with us so that we will have the opportunity to get to know you personally through our interview process and so that you may learn more about the UW School of Medicine and Public Health. You will have a one-on-one interview with a faculty member and a small group discussion session with current medical students. Your interview has been scheduled for Friday, September 28, 2012. Please reply to [email protected] to confirm your interview by Friday, September 14, 2012. Should it be essential to reschedule your interview date, please make such a request via email.
The day will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. with an orientation session. Check-in will begin at 7:45 a.m. in Room 2130 (the Admissions/Student Services Suite) of the Health Sciences Learning Center, which is located at 750 Highland Avenue, Madison, WI. Lunch will be provided. You will tour the Health Sciences Learning Center (HSLC). We anticipate that your interview day will be completed by around 3:00 p.m.
Should your travel arrangements require an overnight stay, a list of nearby accommodations can be found online at: http://www.visitmadison.com/visitors/stay/. Current medical students are sometimes able to provide some overnight housing accommodations.
You are also invited to attend an informal social gathering beginning at 7 p.m. on the evening prior to your interview. The social is a chance for you to meet and visit with a few current medical students about our MD program, UW-Madison, and the city of Madison. While this is not by any means a required event, applicants in the past have found it to be informative. Light snacks will be provided. Informal/casual dress is recommended. Only applicants and current medical students will be in attendance. More information regarding the social will be sent when you confirm your interview.
We look forward to meeting you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Kurt Hansen, MD
Assistant Dean for Admissions
University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health MD Program

Might have to reschedule though, we'll see! IS, received at 3:54pm today (9/12/12)

Congrats! When were you complete?

Thanks! After weeks of nailbiting, I'm pretty ecstatic. I submitted my secondary on the 19th of August (around midnight, as I recall) but I didn't receive a completion email until the 31st--I assume that's how long it took them to confirm my WI residency.

EDIT: And during our email conversation they complimented me on being OOS and landing an interview. Waaait a second.

So my stats were under the minimum for Wisco. I got an email saying that I didn meet the minimum and that my app was under further review back in July-- 2 days ago, I got an email saying: "After further review of your app we'd like to invite you to complete our secondary application."

I do have a steller personal statement, steller work and activities, steller research, and steller letters of rec, and a steller upward trend in GPA. I'm really not making that up. But my overall GPA... and MCAT sadly, are the opposite of steller.

Can I infer anything from this email? Does that mean that they would at least potentially consider me or what? This is in my top 3 choices... I want to be a Badger.
