Anyone interview and have an interviewer that was hard to read/more uptight and get an acceptance? Stressing about one of my interviews 😅

I had an interviewer who was an MD from an intense specialty. He was brilliant but very intense as a person, didn't really smile, didn't give me too many indications when he spoke. However, I stayed firm on what I knew (for example, spoke about some lessons I learned from my troubled background), and by the end of it I think we felt mutually at ease. Easier said than done, but don't stress too much.

As long as you didn't claim to be a leet 420 gamer, and come across as a good person who knows why you're in that interview room, I would say you're good.

Its interesting they say second half of cycle but there's only like 1ish months left of interviewing until early march so like ..? lol

Congrats to everyone who got the A. Just so you know, it is typically an incoming M1 who makes the Facebook group for their class. Since there is still no FB or GroupMe, I suggest someone (preferably someone who is for sure going to be attending MCW) create that page soon

Second this, if any of you are committed here I recommend starting a page so y'all can start connecting and search for roommates
 

This one's already made
 
I was wondering why he is. So weird lol
He did something similar with Drexel’s accepted students group. Best to avoid them at all costs and for an accepted student who’s committed to MCW to make a legitimate page

^^ MCATBros is not affiliated with MCW, nor should they be an admin for MCW Students. That page is not a good resource, please create a new one for your own class.

I've been seeing them around every med school prospective student page, DO and MD. How do these guys have the time to do this? You can't sell MCAT stuff to people who've already been admitted anyway. They have made GroupMe's, FB pages, Discord chats, and more for incoming classes.

He just tries to be involved in everything. Odd behavior fr

II yesterday for the Milwaukee campus, any tips for interview day is appreciated.
As cheesy as it sounds really just be yourself and try to relax. Obviously you'll have anxiety, but it really is a conversational interview. One thing I would say is be ready to talk about yourself with things you want to highlight. I wasn't prepared to talk about my application without a question being asked of me which lessened the information I portrayed to my interviewers. But it all turned out all right as I'm accepted at MKE.

Has anyone submitted an update/letter of interest to this school? If so, did you upload it to the portal, or just email them? I'm wondering if it is better to use the portal or email admissions. Like does admissions get a notification that you uploaded something, or do they only notice once they decide to look at your file?

Usually if there's an option to submit updates on a school's portal, they literally do that because they don't want people emailing them updates. I didn't realize one of my other schools had an option on their portal, and when I emailed it, they just responded with instructions on how to upload it to their portal
