On my interview day I was told that MCW once accepted someone a week before orientation 😱

 

[bearbear33]

Accepted today, interviewed 2/10. Will most likely be withdrawing, so here's to one of you. 🙂

Does anyone know if they already stopped sending out II's?

 

[787593]

Would anyone mind sharing what this school's grading system is like? (P/F, A-F or whatever) & also, does anyone knows if they rank the students

most likely would be my guess but I don't know for sure.

In last year's thread it said they stopped giving out interviews at the Milwaukee campus in mid-March. The MCW website says they go on to early April.

 

[noticemeadcomsenpai]

Ik it's late, but I'm planning on submitting an update letter. Would it be a good idea to let them know about community service I'm starting this week?

I was offered a choice of interview dates... 3/10 & 3/31.

Is it okay to abbreviate Medical College of Wisconsin as 'MCW' in the secondary essay? I'm pre-writing mine now and Im having a tough time cutting it down to 1000 characters.

Yes, I did this and got an interview!

Awesome, that just saved me a ton of characters!

I replaced "MCW" with a smile emoji to show interest.

Got an II an hour ago but when I called the office didn't pick up. Also the email said this is to fill the last few spots and put people on the waitlist so not too encouraging...

I would love some of these slim pickings of which you speak.

The II email actually said that you would be interviewing for the waitlist? That's really honest on their part!

Accepted here! Interviewed 2/3

 

[When the Moon Forgot]

Withdrew from MCW post-acceptance. Hope my spot opens up for those on the waitlist!

 

[Quaper]

Well it's pretty much official. I got rejected from the last of the schools I am waiting to hear back from so I will be attending MCW. Anyone know when we will be getting financial aid information.

Have all my forms submitted (besides the 2 MPNs which I am assuming we only fill out after we have been given our financial aid info). I heard they will either send out financial aid in late march/early April, but I could be wrong...

Does anyone know if MCW participated in the 2018 USNWR rankings? I understand the ranking guidelines have their flaws, but I find it odd how MCW was ranked last year, but unranked this year.

I thought the same exact thing! After you posted, I went back to look at the actual website and when I hovered over unranked it said, "School did not supply enough information to U.S. News to calculate a ranking."

I was wondering the same thing.

Well, I highly doubt that in the span of one calendar year a great school could go from ~50 to some other horrible number lol

And relax, it's just a number haha 🙂

The report is how I learned about the school to begin with.

Ahh good point. I wonder if it's worth asking about

 

[irclavel]

does anyone know when MCW stops sending out interviews?? Still haven't got one, sent in my app like 8 months ago, and no help when I contact them.

 

[MUBISC]

Accepted yesterday and will be attending! Was my first choice and can't be more excited. (Interviewed 03/10)

Congrats, mind sharing your LizzyM?

 

[Mandalore]

For those who are admitted, if you already sent in your "final" transcripts through AMCAS (I took a gap year), do you need to send them in again? I'm just a little confused as I was under the assumption that my complete transcripts were included in my AMCAS application.

 

[Fijj]

I saw eariler in the thread that there is a FB page for accepted students. Can someone link this to me. Searching FB does not work.

Also accepted: LizzyM 68 non-resident. Low SES.

Anyone know why MCW dropped off of the rankings list this year? I think MCW is a fantastic school -- just curious why it would be in the 50s one year and unranked the next.

Who cares?

 

[Quaper]

Who cares?

Everyone says no one cares about it but when a school finds themselves near the top they sure let everyone know.

Good to know. I guess they have more important priorities!

 

[sunnysunsun27]

Received an II for 3/31 but I won't be attending. Good luck everyone!

 

[787593]

What are some things to buy (specific for MCW) before matriculation? Does MCW provide any equipment?
