I've got sum bad newz brah..... lol, jk. I'm sure you're finei wrote 640 characters for why MCW...am i fokked?
I think we have to keep in mind every school is probably dealing with a crazy amount of apps and students asking them questionsI emailed the school about 7 hours ago (no response), and just called them and no answer. What gives?
True. I thought they'd at least answer the phone though :/ .I think we have to keep in mind every school is probably dealing with a crazy amount of apps and students asking them questions
Some schools do seem spotty with picking up the phone. There was one that everyone said had great support from the admissions office, but I called three separate times and never got an answer. So your experience could be due to calling during a busy time or something of that nature.True. I thought they'd at least answer the phone though :/ .

same hereMy letters still have not been received yet
I just checked and it says that they received mine. I think everyone should be okay now. Just re-check again guys !Nope, at least not yet. I just kept checking their website every morning. Today was the special day I guess.
😕 Thanks for the update @RudyRude. I just checked...please tell me there are others in this thread who submitted earlier than 7/12 and don't have their letters marked as received...
For those who have letters received, did you have a letter packet or committee letter? Individual letters? If using individual letters, did you add any optional letters beyond the required two?
Thanks @Gandy741! I have 5 individual and none are received. Guess I will give it a few days and then call.
I submitted on 7/3 and mine are still missing.... one committee letter and one individual letter. Head scratcher.😕 Thanks for the update @RudyRude. I just checked...please tell me there are others in this thread who submitted earlier than 7/12 and don't have their letters marked as received...
@lost_enthusiast, have your letters all been in since 7/12?
When do you guys think we should call? Complete since 7/6, zero letters received. All were available/assigned to MCW when AMCAS was transmitted on 7/1.
Who exactly did you email? I'm just seeing the default "[email protected]" email address.The admissions office replied within 20 minutes, so I'd hop on it ASAP!! 🙂

From the website...
"we prepare medical students to become the best physicians of tomorrow with a spirit of continuous learning and the skills to adapt to whatever may come next in medical discoveries and best practices, as well as in the business side of practicing medicine. Tomorrow’s healthcare starts here, at MCW, where the student experience balances the latest technology and team-based learning models with more than a century of rich medical education traditions. An MCW medical education is a life-changing journey for our students, and for the patients whose lives they touch."
Regarding the bolded portion, how does MCW accomplish this? Is it something the school prides itself on?
Can anyone help me out with getting some insight into the three-year programs? I have been scouring the website but can't seem to find the answers to basic questions like how many seats are available in each program, are you restricted in what residencies you can seek (either subject matter or location), etc.? Have any classes from the three-year programs matched yet, and how did their match list look?
Hi Mr./Ms. Cheese - Thanks so much for the info. That is really helpful. I have shown a lot of engagement with underserved communities but I have never lived in Wisconsin (though I have visited!) and most of my service to the underserved relates to urban populations. I don't think I could convince anyone that I really intended to spend my life in Wisconsin and serve underserved rural folks--I just have way too many ties to the coasts for it to be a long-term option for me. Do you think it's worth a try anyway? I figure with this 3 year thing they HAVE to be open to us old folks ....Hi Bumblebee,
I'm an M1 in the first class at MCW Green Bay. We are the first of the two regional campuses. The second is opening fall 2016, so you can apply to either location. I don't know about Central Wisconsin, but Green Bay's first class is 26 students (more than 2000 applied). I believe the next class will be a similar size.
You are not restricted in residency options, per se. Obviously, nobody has matched yet, as we only just got started 3 weeks ago! This campus doesn't have any research programs. Because we are a three year program, some of the optional (sometimes used as "vacation") rotations have been eliminated. The general emphasis is to train physicians who want to stay in the area and fill projected shortages of doctors in primary care areas. We have been told that if we get to our third year, and we don't want to submit our residency applications, we can choose to take a 4th year down in Milwaukee, for extra rotations, research, etc... I think most of our class, at the moment, doesn't anticipate utilizing that option.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask or PM me.
