MWU Il vs AZ

I'm assuming both az and Il are associated with eachother...On both Il and Az's sites they mention applicants must complete the MWU supplemental application. Does that mean we only need to fill out one for both schools or will we have to fill out separate ones for each school?

They have separate supplemental applications. Treat each school as if they were not associated with the same University (don't copy and paste the same answers from one into the other).

Okay, thank you for the advice!

Why not? For a question like "Other than formal coursework, how have your experiences (e.g., extra-curricular activities, volunteer experiences, work, etc.) prepared you for dental school?"

My answer would be exactly the same for either school..

True...but to answer the why our school question that would be a BIG NO NO if the schools are joined...

Lol if someone was dumb enough to submit the same answer for that q they shouldn't be applying.

Go ahead. There's not a right or wrong answer, really. Others may choose to align their experiences with details of the specific program. It looks like a generic question and you can answer as such. But in my opinion, when you're past the primary AADSAS app, which is broad and generic, you use every opportunity to sell yourself when a school gives you the means to do so.

I'm currently filling out the supplemental app for MWU arizona. Already submitted the one for illinois. Should i copy/paste the "Other than formal course work, what experiences prepared me for dental school" and the "list of extracurricular activities" into the arizona app?? Help please!!😕

Someone already answered this question in this thread. You can have the same answer for "Other than formal course work..." question, but definitely don't treat the "Why you are applying to each school" the same which makes sense.

I chose to keep all my responses except the "why this school" question the same. I don't feel like I know enough about each school in particular, even after scouring their websites and threads on here, to cater my answers to their specific philosophies. I certainly found some unique qualities about each that I wrote about in the "why us?" question. The ping pong table in the "What do you love about MWU-AZ" video on their website, in particular, caught my eye.......
