has anyone heard anything about scholarships?

 

[A P]

When will MCW send out financial aid, scholarships, grants letters? Do they usually award them to low income and high stats applicants only or any applicant can get a scholarship/grant?

Idk but it would be nice if they release prior to Apr 30. Im pretty sure I’ll be withdrawing my A to a regional campus but really would like to see if I was awarded any aid prior to doing so.

Do we have to email admissons to withdraw our seat, or is there another way? I already paid the deposit and accepted the offer on their portal

In my experience they’ve been really responsive; probably email or call.

Withdrawing my A, good luck WL warriors

 

[scrabbyj98]

As an OOS WLer, congrats and thx. I’ll take anything.

Good luck to the students who withdrew their A wherever they chose to go. Did anyone of you get a scholarship? We havent heard of any student who got a scholarship from MCW so far.

Just withdrew MCW regional A. Really was hoping to get notified of aid but I didn’t, and have held an acceptance for ages. Good luck to everyone!

Has anyone got off the WL? I’m curious about how much movement there has been/ if they are sending out acceptances yet. I’m currently IS WL

I think last year WL movement began mid-May, but hopefully sooner this cycle

If anyone is interested the GroupMe is at 195 students rn across all 3 campuses

Thank you

 

[scrabbyj98]

Is that a good or bad number (from a WL POV) ? 😅

Total class size is 275 so I’d think so? 225 for MKE then 25 for the regionals

 

[thunderwolf131]

Mind you there’s probably a good chance that not everyone accepted is in the gc, but a lot of ppl have left already

Hi if you go to the secondary portal it’s under decision making resources!

Hi, I don't have a tab that includes decision making resources unless I am completely missing it.

Yeah it’s frustrating I never had that tab either, some people just don’t I guess idk.

I've sent an update letter last week, is it possible that MCW could read it and take it into consideration before the waitlist movement is done?

 

[mdtobeornottobe]

I am having trouble finding the GroupMe link. Where do I look again? Thanks!

 

[froufroufoxes]

OOS A off the waitlist

 

[Adedoyinpi]

Hi! Is there a group chat for accepted students? I’m an incoming M1.

 

[MyrtleSouthbee]

OOS A off the waitlist

Congratulations!

 

[pker113]

OOS A off the waitlist

Congrats! Is this for MKE or the other two campuses?

Thank you! It was for MKE

FYI for any of my other MKE waitlisters, I emailed admissions the other day asking to see if they anticipated more movement and they said language consistent with other cycles. "We have extended a small number of offers to waitlisted applicants already this month and will continue to do so over the next few weeks. We’ll continue to keep you posted as best we can as the cycle progresses." Hope we see some movement this week/next week good luck everyone!

To add more context: They’ve sent that response in previous years word for word, and it’s a generic response to say that they’re still moving people

 

[pker113]

I've tried calling the office and they aren't reachable, even with voicemail. Has anyone gotten a hold of them on the phone? I'd rather talk than email.

 

[Penguin12]

No luck with any updates...even the in-person admissions office is usually closed...

 

[MedicCat]

Emphasis on the wait in waitlist 😅

How is their in person office closed?

 

[Penguin12]

How is their in person office closed?

Closed, meaning there is nobody to talk to…

 

[pker113]

Closed, meaning there is nobody to talk to…

Yeah, but why are they closed?

 

[Penguin12]

Yeah, but why are they closed?

No clue...only they could explain why...hopefully they are working on waitlist movement 😢

 

[ILikeWater]

Yeah, but why are they closed?

I'm going to guess they work from home. All my previous voice mails have ended in emails.

 

[pker113]

Class is full. This is the second year in a row where I got waitlisted with no A with letter of intents and updates for both years.
