I just got accepted to MCW and have a Wake interview scheduled for next week. Since I have always considered the two schools to be of the same caliber, I am contemplating canceling my Wake interview to save money and time. What do you guys think about these two schools? Would I be missing out if I don't go on my Wake interview? Thanks!
Congratulations on your MCW acceptance! Boils down to this, you didn't elucidate any reasons you would want to stay in Milwaukee, and you didn't mention any reasons for, or against moving to the south.
So, for purely selfish reasons, I would like you to skip your Wake interview so that I may get in.

Seriously, the south is quite different from Milwaukee (I live here, frequently running through the MCW/Froedtert/Children's Campus because I live .6 mile away.) I toured MCW years ago and it seemed great, toured Wake twice in the last 2 years and loved it. I have no doubt they are both excellent schools.
Don't sell yourself short of options based on money. As much as a school is interviewing you, you are interviewing the school. This is a match process - are you a good match for a certain school? That said, I would strongly recommend you attend your Wake interview. Again, the south is a different world, and Winston-Salem is VASTLY different from Milwaukee. Try it, see if you like the city and what they have to offer. You've gotten accepted to MCW, so your stats are undoubtedly stellar - Istwan says so
😀 If you have to borrow money from your parents/brother/sister/second cousin etc - just go and at least test the waters.
By the way, in reference to a reply concerning "in-state" tuition with MCW - it's a private school - no public funding.
Best of luck.
