Members don't see this ad.

I was thinking more along the lines of this guy landing on my porch one sunny afternoon...
but maybe with a little more than 20 dollars or whatever he's got.

Anyone go to second look day? Did it sway your opinion either way?

Hello people,

The MCW recently accepted me this application cycle. This news really brought my spirit up since I had no other acceptance offer. I hope other current or future MCW students could help me answer the questions below about...

• Security deposit? Does anyone know how to pay a security deposit to reserve a seat for the class of 2021 at MCW? I could not find a link on the school website.
• Financial aid? How long does it take you to receive an award package after all documents were submitted?

I also live in CT. I hope to visit NYC on some weekends between now and when school starts. If any of you are in NYC please let me know if you would like to tour places together. I would like to visit the 9-11 Memorial, MoMA, and Grand Central Park.

Congratulations! I was just curious. Aid all goes out after you submit your credit report. I'm unsure about where the deposit is submitted.

You should receive an acceptance packet in the mail with a deposit form and instructions on how/where to send your deposit.

As far as financial aid goes, I'm not sure how long it takes. I was accepted late last year so it was a little different, and I haven't gotten my aid package yet this year.

Anyone know if they are still interviewing?

Withdrawing my acceptance here - hope it goes to one of you!

 

[jmlee0108]

For waitlisted students, did people receive an email from MCW asking us to send any additional updates recently?

 

[787593]

Still waiting on my financial aid info...

 

[Ryanray]

Anyone go to second look day? Did it sway your opinion either way?

I was 95% sure I would not go to MCW, but then after second look day I am now 50-50 between here and my other choice. Everyone is just Wisconsin nice and it feels like a happy place. I hate making a decision based on good vibes, but it really did make an impact on my decision process.

 

[Teddybearsrock]

I got my financial aid info on 4/5/17

UIC.

When did you get accepted and when did you send in your forms?

I was accepted in October and submitted the financial aid forms in January.

 

[rosesarered]

It was a tough choice, but I'll be withdrawing from MCW. I really loved this school, but a variety of factors pushed me towards a different school. Hope my spot goes to one of you!

I'm sure I speak for everyone on the waitlist when I say we appreciate it 🙂

Milwaukee

 

[787593]

I was accepted in October and submitted the financial aid forms in January.

I had all of my forms in by late February/early March. I guess I should have been more proactive with them haha

Mine were all in as soon as I could and I was accepted in Oct.

 

[787593]

Yeah, I was accepted mid-October as well. Did you get your financial aid info??

 

[Quaper]

Nope not yet. Maybe it's because I haven't sent in my deposit yet.

 

[kodiak0237]

Nope not yet. Maybe it's because I haven't sent in my deposit yet.

wait do we have to send in our deposit before we get financial aid info?

 

[787593]

Nope not yet. Maybe it's because I haven't sent in my deposit yet.

That's weird..

wait do we have to send in our deposit before we get financial aid info?

I doubt it?

 

[787593]

They're trying to have financial aid information sent within 1.5 weeks.

Note to self: DO NOT BE LATE FOR ORIENTATION...

"Orientation week is a required activity. Accepted students who fail to appear within 60 minutes following the start time during the first morning of Orientation week will automatically surrender their spot in the matriculating class."

From yesterday's email:

"We do not receive your transcripts from AMCAS. You must have each institution you’ve completed coursework at send a final, official transcript to our office reflecting the degree you earned (if applicable)."

I thought I did this already...? They've already told me that I had completed all my prerequisites, why am I sending more transcripts?

It's probably for people (like me) who haven't graduated yet

They're just saying that the transcript you sent to AMCAS doesn't ever get forwarded to the school. If you sent a final transcript directly to MCW already, you should be fine. If you never requested a transcript to be sent their directly, they don't have it, even though AMCAS received one at the start of the cycle.

Never hurts to give them a call and make sure you have it done. They've always been really kind and answered all of my questions!
