Dang really? It honestly seemed like no other school wanted that so I've just been moving straight past it, whoops. I did traffic school so I don't think it's on my record and hoping it's a non-problem
Describe your motivation for pursuing a primary care focused, community-based medical education program. Focus on how a MCW regional campus educational experience will prepare you for your unique future career in medicine. Include the influence of key experiences with rural or medically under-served communities.
Did you mark yes to the question that asks about any convictions or criminal offenses? If you mark yes to that, even if it was for a speeding ticket or whatever else, it will automatically say you need the Dean's form. Email or call them and they should waive it for you.
I marked it for a speeding ticket. Thank you! I'll give them a call
I looked at my high school graduation rate and college attendance rate from the year I graduated. If they met or exceeded the state average, they are not underperforming (That's how I understand it anyway). All of this info is found online. Though, you can look at state rankings as well. For example, a school that is above average for all Georgia schools could still be below national average quite a bit... because its one of the lowest performing states in the nation. I'm from Iowa, so we have pretty good high schools in general. Hope that makes sense.
Can confirm, it went away when I submitted!
Works for me
If the IA resulted in legal action of any kind then you should report it here. If it was handled solely by the school then you don't.
Neither did I but I think thats fine
I believe so.
I agree !!! When will II start ?
Oh yeah !!!
))) exactly my thinking
I received a complete email right after I submitted about a month ago and mine didn't say that. When did you submit?
I received that email this morning as well! I don't think it's II hold, but I think we survived a cut
why did you guys submit your secondary?I received that email this morning as well! I don't think it's II hold, but I think we survived a cut
Submitted 7/5
and you got an additional complete email?
Yes, here's what the email says: (MCW: MCW Medical School Admissions Review Notification)
I received that email this morning as well! I don't think it's II hold, but I think we survived a cut
I’m really hoping that’s good news rather than bad because I’m still without any II’s and I’m getting discouraged
That sounds like pre- interview hold ... I got something similar in WVU .Yes, here's what the email says: (MCW: MCW Medical School Admissions Review Notification)
Dear (name),
Thank you for your continued interest in MCW Medical School!
The Admissions Committee has completed its initial review of your application, and your application has moved forward in the process to the group of applicants who will potentially be invited to interview for admission. That group is still significantly larger than our interview schedule can accomodate. Candidates are selected from this group throughout the cycle to receive an interview invitation on the basis of strength of credentials and completion date of application.
If you are selected for an interview invitation, you will receive communication via email. Additional review of your application or updates you provide will only occur if you are interviewed.
Thank you for your interest, and please contact the Office of Admissions with any questions.
Sincerely,
Alexis C. Meyer
Director of Recruitment and Admissions
MCW Medical School
My CASPer took a few days to go through ....
That's how I interpreted it as well. I don't see why they would tiptoe around saying "your a** is on hold."Has anyone received II though? I thought holds only really happened when there’s also II/rejections going out. I took it more like they like the applicant enough to consider for interview and not outright rejection... but also who knows
The above is correct. If your app is amazing to MCW, you will get an interview outright. If it’s not competitive, you will be rejected outright. If they’re not sure if they want to send an II outright but do not want to reject you, you receive the above email known as the “small pool email”. This is good news in the sense that you have not been rejected after they reviewed your app. So an II is possible at any time from now until the end of the interview season (for MCW, this is usually sometime in March).
Do they send actual rejection emails or do they just ghost you?
They do. I don’t think they’re that frequent, especially this early in the cycle. But they do send rejections out. Getting the small pool email, to me, is better than hearing nothing (and then eventually being rejected) because at least you know they like you and your app. It’s just up to how you compare to the rest of the applicant pool at that point. Yes, you can ultimately be rejected after being small pooled but I don’t see that happening until the end of the cycle.
The small pool email comes after the complete email.
