at Milwaukee?
Yes Milwaukee!
I actually live about a mile from the school. The area the school is in is mostly residential. Downtown Wauwatosa is only a short drive, or even walking distance. I think a lot of students live in that area and it has some cute restaurants and shops. There’s also a decent mall within a 5 min drive from the school. Downtown Milwaukee is about a 10-15 min drive and has a lot of things to do. I’ve been living in Milwaukee for 16 years now and have lived all over and I really love the city. I guess I’m not sure exactly what you are looking to know, but if you have any questions, feel free to message me. I am only applying this semester, but I know a lot of people that have worked at Froedtert and my boyfriend was a postdoc at the medical college so I do know a few things about the hospital and school as well.
Feel free to PM me any specific questions!
Amazing thanks!Here is the link for all those interested:

I didn't get this. What did it say, exactly?
It’s on the first page of the secondary portal

It was awesome! My interviewers were relaxed and friendly. They seemed to genuinely want to know about me as a person, compared to other schools' interviewers. At some schools they seem to have a pre-defined list of questions they must ask and they just march through them with no facial expressions or discussion at all. MCW also used most of the interview today to talk a lot about the school and the local area; the interview was a small percentage of total time. All in all a great day and very low stress compared to some of my other interviews.
Its in ur secondary app!
Well, politics and religion are not necessarily relevant to medical education and services. PP offers a wide variety of medical services, including abortions, but also STD treatment, normal OB/GYN services, and even vasectomies (always a great alternative to abortion!). Abortion is a MEDICAL service that is offered in the US, most medical schools will teach it, many doctors will offer it, so I don't think it could be compared to off-topic subjects that are partisan but not in the field of medicine, per se. Having said that, you could always get the wrong reader, so a little caution in any application can be good!
Abortion is a HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL medical procedure, and is not universally considered ethical. You can view it however you want, doesn't mean that others are going to agree with you. I wouldn't advise addressing it in the same way one might address a non-controversial procedure.
Thanks for the honest feedback. I only started volunteering with Planned Parenthood recently so it's neither on my primary nor secondary application. I kept my update letter very vague. I kinda just forget sometimes how hated PP is for providing women the care they need. In that same vein, wouldn't people find it controversial if I said "I want to become an OBGYN" because that insinuates that I'll one day be providing abortions lol
Some of the main controversies with PP (other than just performing abortions) are 1) that they don't separate funding, 2) that they receive government funding, and 3) that there have been accusations of widespread illegal abortions (those performed past a certain gestation, performed for sex selection, etc) and misuse/abuse of fetal tissue/parts.
It stands for institutional action. It means that you had some disciplinary action taken against you/investigated. You only would have gotten one for something like cheating, hazing, getting caught with alcohol on campus, etc. If you don't have an IA, then you don't need a dean's letter, which is just a letter from the dean that explains the circumstances that led to the IA.
One faculty & one student
Doesn't sound right based on what I remember from the MSAR
IIRC, during my interview they said they accept 400-450 from 600 that they interview, but that it varies from cycle to cycle
Yep! I just got one last week. Their website says they will keep sending them out till March (or at least keep interviewing them till March).
Which campus?
Milwaukee
Do you mind sharing when you were complete?
I was complete/under review in early/mid-August.
go for it buddy. I was complete first day of October so don't worry.
Definitely NOT too late. They're accepting applications till January ends because of COVID!
Cheers, thank you! Happy to hear I’m not the only turtle in the race
So sorry to hear. Hope you hear good news from other schools! If you don't mind sharing, are you IS or OOS?
