Hi! I was just wondering if anyone knows if UW gives out any full COA merit scholarships?

Not sure about that, but have recieved full tuition scholarship, as has other people so far. Maybe later they will send out full COA or extra scholarshps

When did you receive word that you had gotten a full ride? Congratulations by the way that’s huge!

II, my first! OOS. I was already starting to looking at post-bac's and MCAT study materials, to prepare to apply in a future cycle. Don't give up hope!

Does anyone know if they have a student host program? I'm also open to any advice anyone is willing to offer.

To my knowledge, they do not have a student host program. In my interview confirmation email they gave us a list of "nearby accommodations" and they make arrangements for a limited number of discounted rooms at a hotel near the school. I don't have a ton of advice other than enjoy it. It's a relaxed interview at a beautiful school with a ton of great people. Good luck!

No student host program. If you end up needing a place to stay you can message me and I may be able to help out.

Has anyone who interviewed 11/30 heard back yet? Today is 4 weeks from interview day, and they said 4-6 weeks, but it appears most have been hearing back within the month or so based on this forum.

I interviewed in mid-November and I still haven't heard back after 6 weeks. I called and they told me to expect to hear something around mid-Jan.

Does anyone know if UWisconsin is receptive to ITA email? I will be interviewing in Iowa in a few weeks and it would save me a trip if they could interview me that same week (if they were going to) since I am coming from CA. I know they dont accept any updates so I am not sure if they accept this either. Any idea?

Yes, I got one today as an OOS after receiving an Email in Dec that my app would be looked at again in January for possible II.
 
Does U wisconsin offer feedback? Would love to call them to see what I can improve on just in case I have to reapply next year. Anyone knows?

I remember my interviewer told me that you can contact the admissions office for feedback.

Last year they did. Someone from admissions alotted 30 minute phone interviews and spoke with applicants regarding the feedback. Truly amazing they do this because many schools do not!

Got the call earlier today!!!! I couldn't be more thrilled and grateful! LM ~70, WARS ~85, IS, non-trad, complete very end of August, interviewed early Dec. UW has been my top choice for years, and I had the absolute best interview experience there. Best of luck to everyone waiting to hear!

Is emailing thank-you letters okay? Their packet implies that thank-you letters would be handwritten. Would particularly appreciate feedback from accepted applicants or current students.

Accepted student here — I don’t really think that it matters, as long as you sent a thank you, but I emailed my interviewer directly and hand wrote a thank you to admissions.

Sorry to be this person but is anyone else OOS with complete silence? Complete Mid July, barely clinging on to hope here. :arghh:
 
For those already accepted with scholarships, did you receive notification of the scholarship offer at the time of your acceptance call?
 
FYI for anyone else interviewing this Friday, the high temperature is -1 Fahrenheit that day....yes, the high! Welcome to Wisconsin

Yes, I was told at the time of my acceptance call. I actually got another call about two months later and was told that my scholarship was increased!

Does your portal say "Your Wisconsin Residency Status has been returned as 'Nonresident'."? I don't think OOS applicants have as many hoops to jump through as IS because on the secondary we had to answer whether or not we were applying as residents.
 
Does the new class have a facebook page? If so, could someone either share or PM me the link?

Congrats! Did you send a LOI or anything to prompt the increase? Also, do you mind sharing what your initial/final scholarship amounts were?

Thank you! I didn’t do anything extra and it really surprised me. It went from 10k to full tuition
