No surprise, they always match strong. People like to assume ( not saying you) that a big name equates to competitive specialty matches but sleep on how important a strong hospital system, reputable department, and connections play into matching. All which MCW and the Froedtert provide.
Yeah I'm not sure what I was expecting from the match list (I haven't paid attention to them before and still barely know how to interpret them, but I'm aiming for a PC field) but the high number of Ortho + a few rads, NSGY, etc seems really strong to me
Certiphi automatically sends it to them on a specific date(you can check the link it should say it). Mine took 10 days to show up as received in the portal though.
Yeah I wish they could do second look. Just have to respect their rules I guess. Anyways, I was looking forward to attending another second look and it was going to be $600 for a flight and $50 to stay in an air bnb in a private room. Don’t know how to feel whether they should be in person or not
You can! I was in Milwaukee back in November for a family thing and Jordan was great about setting up a tour for me. A current M2 showed me around, answered all of my questions, and gave me recs. I HIGHLY recommend doing this if you're wanting to get a first hand look at the school.
Thanks! Can you provide Jordan contact email or phone
Just use the one provided in her emails, I’m not going to post that here.
I was going to ask the same question. I received my aid offer this morning and was unsure of whether scholarships are separate from loan offers!
That’s my exact reasoning. I wasn’t sure if this meant I didn’t receive any scholarship offers.
Thank you for reaching out and asking!
We scheduled a visit allowing even my folks to come. Thanks!
Thank you for reaching out and asking!
Medical school handbook link in case you are interested:
So, was the financial aid app we filled out on MCW connect for need based support?
Sorry if this has been asked before but is there an accepted student group or GroupMe?
I will most likely withdraw from this school unless I am blown away by their scholarship offer. I am sure many people will withdraw soon with PTE and CTE deadlines
oh right, yes that makes sense! I guess i only thought people who were for sure go into the FB
Thanks a lot for your kind words! And congrats on the multiple AsThere’s are lot of current students in the group and what seems to be some random trollers. The FB group probably isn’t the best way to get a count, but I can definitely see why it’s a go to at this point. I’ll most likely withdraw my A here within the next few days and hoping good news comes your way soon!
I can't answer how friendly they are, but since you were interviewed and rejected I would ask them for feedback and that will probably give you a clue about your chances.
I applied 2020 cycle and didn't even get an interview. This cycle I got the A. I waited two years to apply again to ensure I made multiple improvements to my application, not just one. So I'd recommend re-evaluating different parts of your app, not just MCAT score. Not sure if that helps, but that's my two cents. Good luck!
Hi, I can answer this as a lease signee--I am lucky enough to have some outside support and money saved up, and found a place that has rent similar to what I pay now. I haven't gotten my financial aid yet, but am operating off the assumption I will get nothing--that way, if I do get something, it'll be a helpful surprise rather than a financial stressor if I get nothing.
Awesome, thank you. I make decent money right now and could either come in with a big savings, or pay my car off (since they wont allocate funds for car payments). So I'm trying to decide between those two options. My parents are willing to help with my car payment and want me to have a savings, but I feel guilty accepting their help at all.
Pay them back when the time comes. That is enough!
I second this! There's a time and a place to accept help, and this is it.
Can? Probably the day before classes start. Will be helpful? End of this week probs, assuming the most WL movement will happen by mid-May
