Just FYI, there are new prompts coming out this year because the Dean of the medical school recently changed. I think the general ideas are going to be similar, but just be careful pre-writing these.

Did anyone else get locked out of paying because it said it couldn't authorize my card?

Doesn't let me submit secondary because I haven't filled out the residency application. I am not a Wisconsin resident.

You still have to fill it out even if you are not a resident. I ran into the same problem. There is a part on the application where you select "I am not applying for Wisconsin residency."
