What do people typically wear to the "recommended" sessions? How many people attend, and are we expected to participate or just watch?

I saw most wearing business casual in my recommended sessions. I didn't participate much at all during mine
 
Hi, if anyone here has been matched to interview with a faculty member who identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community, could you speak to what that was like--were you asked to elaborate on your experiences, talk about LGBTQ+ issues, etc? Was your interviewer even aware that you identified as LGBTQ+?

I self-identified on my application and said yes. Prior to interviewing I recieved an email informing me that unfortunately they did not have any LGBTQ+ family members to interview me. At the very end of my interview, my interviewer stated he was aware I asked for this but was super super supportive and and offered to link me up with some other LGBTQ providers doing the lords work in Wisconsin.

I thought their efforts were super sweet!

I dressed very business casual for the optional info sessions. I dressed very casual for the med student led discussion. Most med students were very casual, applicants more biz casual for that one!

Good luck.

Gotcha, I got an email saying I've been matched. That sounds great, I'm glad they were supportive!

Thank you for answering my questions 🙂
 
In December, I got an email informing me that they would not be offering me an interview, but they just emailed last week for an II. Weird.
 
I interviewed the week of Nov 1st and haven’t heard back yet. Anyone else in the same boat?
 
Hello everyone got an interview invite scheduled for 2/17! so nervous about the group portion of the interview and the faculty.. Can anyone explain the format of the group and faculty interview? Is it traditional, MMI, how did u prepare for the group portion?
 
It's now been 8 weeks since my interview with no decision, has anyone reached out to them regarding this yet?

Man that must be so hard. I would definitely reach out, since it's been >8 weeks. They did tweet that more decisions would be released 'soon' an hour ago. I know I got my WARM acceptance around 1530 hours on a Friday via e-mail.


Crossing my fingers for you while you wait.
 
How soon before your interviews did you receive the links and faculty interview times? Mine is in 1 week and I haven't received anything.

Yeah I think we even signed some leases in December. Depends on the type of housing you are looking for! PM if you want. I did 5 years as an engineering undergrad at Madison.
 
Does anyone who interviewed here already have any insight into what the group interview is like? Is it like working together to solve a problem or just answering standard interview questions? Thank you 😀

Can’t discuss questions about the interview due to signing a participation agreement that we can’t discuss questions from the interview with people.
 
How fast is the turn around with a rejection, WL, acceptance after the 3 day interview process?

From the interview to decision, it took 4 weeks for me. They said the decision could be 4-8 weeks or longer depending on when your interviewer turns in their interview evaluation. Based on posts on this thread, I believe some are still waiting more than 8 weeks but they could have received a decision and chose not to post the result.
 
Did anybody else get an email from your faculty interviewer post-interview? (offering support if you have more questions bout the school)

And should I send thank you remarks in a reply to the email from the faculty interviewer personally or to Wisconsin email provided to us in the portal?

I believe they wanted all thank you letters sent to the admissions staff and then they were going to distribute them from there
