Congrats to everybody who got accepted yesterday! I posted previously that there is a group for accepted applicants on Facebook, but that was a while ago, and everything more or less gets lost in the thread after time lol. The group is "MCW-Milwaukee Accepted Applicants (Class of 2024)", though its open for anybody from the three campuses. Congrats again to all those accepted, and wishing the best for all those waiting!
 
I was put on the waitlist after interview on Friday evening (interviewed 2/7) . I'm pretty upset. I thought my interviews went really well and I had an overall great experience. I hope the rumors of waitlist movement this year are true.
 
Hey guys, current M1 here. Just want to let you know, if you're interviewing on March 6th, you still have as good a shot as anyone else. I went from silence from MCW to an acceptance in about 9 days time. This was on the last interview day of the year. Quite a few people from that day also matriculated so they do take a decent amount. Don't give up. If you have an interview, you have a shot.

Also, MCW is fantastic. They're really great about so much. I have like no complaints about it as a school.
 
Another "nothing" update to the devoted 2020-2021 application cycle followers. As you know I started with the "small pool" in 9/9/19. I have not gotten any interviews and I don't think I will. This is the last week to get anything. If I could do it over I would suggest applying #1 to Milwaukee as an out of state instead of Central or Greenbay due to the bigger class size. The other 2 favor ISS more heavily. I did it due to the primary care program but that's okay. Anyways, I am guessing the next update is just gonna be a rejection email from them. I am sorry if this kills ur mood but I am just 1 in 10,000 and I was still able to get into med school so don't worry if this small pool doesn't work out for you I am sure something else will. Keep a lookout for my last update. Adios!
 
Accepted - Milwaukee campus! Interviewed 2/7, received acceptance e-mail 2/28 5:35 pm
Stats for reference: 511 MCAT, 3.33 gpa, OOS (MN), 5 years of clinical and research work experience post-degree

Really enjoyed WCM's campus and interview! Will be attending! See you all in the Fall and best of luck to everyone!

I received an interview invite last week and March 6 was the last date available. They made it clear that I'd be interviewing for a wait list spot at best. Honestly thought about withdrawing but since I'm not far from Milwaukee, I don't think it'll be too much of an hassle.

They actually said you’d be interviewing for a waitlist spot?

I know for a the class of 2023 they didn't pull anyone from the wait-list and the class is one or two students more than they planned for. I thought they would have been more conservative this year...
 
Hey this is not for a waitlist spot, it’s for one of the 204 real spots so keep your hopes high and give it your all. Everyone who has gotten an II the last few weeks has read that same quote in their invitation email. There’s always a chance. Look on the bright side - even if it is for a waitlist spot, that’s not a rejection! Applicants will come off the MCW waitlist this cycle. Crush it!!

From the email quote "Since we are near the end of the interview process this cycle, please also be aware that there is limited space remaining in the incoming class. A small number of admissions offers will be extended until the end of the cycle, but many interviewees may be placed on the waitlist until space is available in the incoming class."

‍♀ I'm only a 1.5 hour bus ride away so I'm willing to go and maximize my chances for acceptances this application cycle. Not sure I'd be willing to do so if I had to pay a few hundred dollars for a plane ticket.

Accepted but withdrawing! Hope that helps some of you on the waitlist 🙂

Best of luck to everyone. This is a great school and I really enjoyed my interview

Post-II R just now. Interviewed Central Wisconsin 02/10 and absolutely devastated. They were my top choice and my only ii of the season, back to the drawing board for round 2 of applying...

Agree with i[COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]ku-turso[/COLOR]! I am a successful re-applicant this cycle who was devastated being eventually rejected from the waitlist from my one school that interviewed me last year. I ended up taking the MCAT again, improving, and was super humble and honest about this experience with med schools (who I think appreciate that resilience). It is a stressful journey, but one that I think is worth it! Feel free to message me if I can help in any way.
 
Anyone know if we'll have our financial aid letter before second look?

It seems like those who are going to Second Look will find out around the same time as Second Look. If I remember correctly there is dedicated time to meet with Financial Aid during the day.

This is my second cycle applying... Last cycle I never got off of 2 waitlists, now I'm sitting on only 1 with 3 schools left to hear back from

Did anyone else notice the email says "entering class of 2019"?
I received this same email verbatim on March 4, 2019.
...What year is it?!
 
Sorry if this has already been asked, I read through a couple pages but didn't want to look through all 22. Is MCW Milwaukee required in-class attendance lecture or can you watch recorded lectures? Thanks in advance to anyone who responds!

During the interview they said nonmanditory and they record all lectures. Students routinely said they hardly ever went to lectures.

I have some very specific questions about MCW, particularly about exam and weekly schedules. If any current students could PM me I would appreciate it greatly!
 
Complete 10.10.2020.
Update 02.11.2020
Pre II R 03.10.2020.

Good luck to the rest of y'all waiting and congrats to those of you admitted!

Lectures are recorded, and live streamed to the satellite campuses so those students can ask questions, for the basic science curriculum.
