Hi there. So who's going to MCW in the fall? I thought this would be a good place to get aquainted with our soon-to-be fellow classmates.
MCW class of '08

Hi! I don't know for sure if I'll be going to MCW, but there is a good chance. I have been accepted and really like the school, not to mention I'm from WI and would like to be close to family. The only thing that is holding me back is my significant other, who is matching for residency. We'd like to end up near each other, so keep your fingers crossed it's in WI or IL🙂

Thanks, I won't know what my first choice is until he matches, but I would be happy to go to MCW (and right now it's my only acceptance🙂 )
I am on the top part of the waitlist at Madison. Did you apply there?

Honestly, I think I probably would go to Madison. I think it would be really neat to be a part of that community. I went to undergrad at UWM (graduated in 99) and it just didn't have that college feel to it. Also, the new facilities are really exciting and I just had a good feel when I was there for the interview. I have to say though, that everyone at MCW was just as nice and I can tell I would be happy there as well. If you got the same waitlist letter as I did, it's sounds like there is a really good chance we will be accepted at UW. Where are you from in WI?

I too got into MCW. But, my significant other is currently in school in Chicago, so unless something crazy happens between now and Febuary, I will beattending Loyola and declining my offers from MCW and UW. So, hopefully one of you can have my spot at Madison!
There was a time when Madison was the only place I wanted to go, and I still may if I get accepted. It's just that MCW is much closer to home (I live in Brookfield) and would be cheaper for me.
By the way, I go to UWM too. Next thing you'll tell me is that we grew up in the same neighborhood.😀

Well I since I graduated from UWM in 1999, I probably didn't see you there. And I was a dance major!! Seriously. 🙂 You are currently a student right? What are you studying at UWM.
I didn't grow up in Brookfield, but close... Waukesha, but I've lived in Chicago for the past 4 1/2 years.

just wanted to say congratulations to all of you who've been accepted to MCW.
i'm wondering if you guys wouldn't mind sharing your stats; i realize that's something a lot of posters don't do, but i'll be applying to MCW next year and would like to get a feel for what sorts of numbers they're looking for.
thanks!

javandane,
mcw's average gpa/mcat are 3.7/28-29, but i think the key to getting in there is to apply early. they review applications as they come in, and they make decisions one week after your interview.
hope that helps!

Yeah, I'm a senior now...trying to finish up my biochem degree. Dance major, huh? That's pretty cool. You don't hear of too many pre-med dance majors. I think it's a good idea to major in something other than the sciences. If I could do it all over again, I definitely would.
Redstar18 is right on. Someone with average stats probably has a better chance of getting into MCW early than someone with much higher stats that applies much later.

Hey all, just wanted to say what's up and introduce myself to you.
I'll be with you at MCW next year for sure,
It was my top choice, and I applied ED.
Like javandane, I'm in the middle of a year off, and am trying to enjoy myself as much as possible.
Hope to meet you all in person next August.
