Members don't see this ad.

I never got anything either!! I really think they lost my application. No rejection yet either...

Haha, glad I'm not the only one feeling that way. If they don't send me a rejection soon, I think I'm going to ask for my money back.

to withdraw do we have to send back that letter that we got in our acceptance packet or can we just email them?

I sent that letter back and received a confirmation email a few days later. You could probably still email!

Hi everyone. Congratulations to all those accepted and for those who didn't hear great news, don't worry and keep your head up!

I was accepted a while back and am just wondering if anyone has set up a facebook page or anything for matriculating students to connect. Maybe this is somewhere in the thread but 28 pages is a lot to search through! if anyone could direct me to the page or answer my question, I'd be appreciative.

Thanks!

Rejected March 6th. OOS, LizzyM ~67.

They told me I was small-pooled in the rejection letter, but I was never sent a small-pool e-mail lol. Oh well, good luck to the rest of y'all!

They mix and match to create the highest score

Does mcw reject or only waitlist after interviews?

They do reject, but not that many.

Anyone know when we should expect to receive financial aid info?

Anyone know when we should expect to receive financial aid info?

I spoke with someone on the phone yesterday and she said we should be receiving login info hopefully this week or next week and then our package will be viewable sometime shortly after that

+1... expect packages soon? Probably straight loans... shame because this school really impressed me.

Yeah.. let's see how it goes..

 

[ovenmitts]

Did anyone have trouble logging into the financial aid portal? When I tried making my account it said that my info couldn't be validated. I'll have to give them a call.

 

[thakurabhi16]

Did they begin accepting off the waitlist yet? Is it possible to know ranking?

 

[undecideddd]

Deciding b/w UWSMPH and MCW. After reading past threads, I'm leaning towards UW, but if MCW gives me a better package I'd consider going there. UWSMPH is just muccch cheaper.

Are there any differences in quality between the two?

I'd like to know when they will release ranking, as well.

 

[likeplum]

Does anyone know what the ranking is based on?

has anyone been able to view their financial aid package yet?

Hey just a general question to the forum, but I was thinking of applying (3.6 cGPA/3.4 sGPA/31 MCAT) and was wondering if anyone with a similar low sGPA as mine had been admitted?

For those with financial aid questions, I ended up emailing the financial aid office. Turns out, the faxes I sent in mid-February were not received. So I emailed them instead and they said I should get my package in 2 weeks.

Here's the link to where you can see your financial aid package:
https://netpartner.acad.mcw.edu/NetPartner/NetPartnerStudent

 

[amad01]

still no finaid for me... they got 3 weeks

the nonrefundable $100 deposit is due by april 30th which means it would need to be mailed beforehand unless there's an online way of paying....

 

[Celeste13]

Found out today that I'm in the bottom half of the waitlist. Pretty bummed.

 

[bdDOC71]

Withdrew yesterday! Best of luck to those of you on the waitlist!

 

[Doc.or.Bust]

For anyone who got accepted and is currently completing graduate level courses - I understand acceptances said to maintain your academic excellence, does this mean "C" or better? Have you heard of them rescinding an acceptance for getting a "C"?

I'm pretty sure it's fine as long as you don't fail.

 

[amad01]

withdrawing. Best of luck to all, MCW was awesome.

 

[VitaliKilatiV]

I just received the financial aid log-in info but I am on the waitlist. Is this a sign that I should be getting an acceptance soon or does the fin aid office send this email to everyone on the waitlist?

Yep.

I received it and I'm not in the 1st quartile

 

[FuzzyT]

I also received it; First Quartile, but can't actually log on.

Are you second quartile?

 

[illinoisgal]

Nope haha bottom half

Tryna decide between SLU and MCW. Any current students have any insight?

Did you just get accepted off the waitlist at either school? (since the selection passed on Thursday)

I actually had this same option and I ended up choosing MCW. All the options for research (lots of NIH-funded research compared to SLU) and MCW's clinical training were what did it for me.

I got off the SLU waitlist on Friday! I'm from STL though which is probably my biggest factor in staying back

Both schools are comparable. You can't really put a value on being close to home. I know that if I get off the waitlist for the school close to my home which isn't even ranked, I will go there.
