I answered the 250 word prompt this way:
Since the rest of the prompt I addressed in the 500 word essay

Do your MSTP secondary portals have a link to the "residency application" on the Registrars website? It won't let me submit without this, although I thought this was only for Wisconsin residents.

Click this button, check the two "No" boxes, then sign.
Yes, I just discovered this when you pointed it out to me lol
Ah yes "optional" essays. But how optional are they really? I doubt you will get an II if you do none.
for the covid question, eventhough they say "In a paragraph (200-300 words), please share how COVID-19 impacted your application...", I feel like 200-300 words is a lot for one paragraph. Does it matter if I split the same amount of text into 2 paragraphs? Sorry for a potentially stupid question haha

I get what you're saying, but I think you'll be more than fine if you split it up
Is it even worth applying here if you are OOS and have no ties? I thought this was an OOS friendly mid-tier school but based on last year's thread I'm a little discouraged.
I wouldn’t call it OOS friendly. Since it’s a public state school (also the only public state school in WI) they are required to have majority of the class be IS students. From their website: “Consistent with our mission and the Wisconsin Idea, we focus on training physicians to serve the health needs of Wisconsin. Therefore, at least 70 percent of the students in each matriculating class are Wisconsin residents.”
Definitely still possible as OOS, but keep this in mind!
While we wait to submit on the 16th, any of my fellow in-state applicants want to share where they are applying from? I would think it would be cool to see where our future classmates are coming from. I'll start! I grew up in waaaaaay northern Wisconsin and now I'm graduating from undergrad in the Lake Winnebago area.

I'm in Fitchburg, and I think I can get to class in under 15 minutes from my front door. So excited. I wish all of you the best of luck and I hope we cross paths as Badgers!

I would contact them via phone or email with screenshots. But, I tried to do what you did and it showed that mine was submitted. Hope you figure it out.

Nope, I think it's a reapplicant to this specific school. So if you are first-time applying to UW-Madison, you don't fill out the re-applicant essay. I think I left mine blank, you can also just put N/A for it.
That's correct. Per the FAQ on the welcome tab, "The re-applicant essay is only for those who are reapplying to UW SMPH."

I added this school to my primary app late (8/8) and haven't received a secondary. Should I email them about it or is this normal? I'm OOS and wouldn't have been screened out.
It’s normal. Took about 1.5 months

I don't think they've sent them out yet. I read last year's post and they said it should be coming either this week or the week after. Maybe I'm wrong.

Yep, thankfully no VITA. Apparently, it was a pain in the butt from what I heard from last year's applicants.

According to a reply in the thread, looks like it will be OOS applicants receiving IIs first. Good luck to my fellow OOSers!
This round will be OOS but they said IS will be soon!! Good luck everybody! Manifesting IIs for all!

Yeah, it seems like they sent a decent sized wave of R’s based on the posts on here, and then maybe a small test group of IIs? Hoping for a larger wave by like 5 Central Time.
sucks that they did this tho cuz now I gotta refresh my email for the next two hours lol

Oh, they posted an update on their Twitter. They sent a small II wave, and it sounds like they’re done for the day. Many applications yet to be reviewed and many more invites to be sent out in the next 12-13 weeks.
