Solicitation from MCW?

[burntfries]

so i got this email from the medical college of wisconsin today, telling me to consider applying to their school because of my "competetive" mcat score. i've already submitted my AMCAS, but haven't applied to MCW because i wasn't initially that attracted to wisconsin, and i thought that their median stats were a bit out of my range. nor did I think that my mcat was that spectacular (31R). Is it common for med schools to send out emails like this? i didnt' think schools would need to solicit applications, what with all the applicants they have to deal with already...

so my question is, would i be wasting my money if I put down another $30 and added them to my list?

haha thanks for the zing. i had a feeling this had been asked, but it didn't turn up in a search

Zing is goofy. If I was trying to be mean I would have put OWNED!

So...Zing!!

I'm guilty I got the email too and posted on another thread (Wall of Fame maybe?) asking about it to find out the real scoop. I'm not proud, I'll take whatever "feeling special" crumbs I can get

imagine people getting that email NOT using SDN and feeling all super special and then finding out later that MCW was just advertising

I wonder if they sent it to people with like a 15 MCAT and 2.7 GPA too? Poor kids, getting their hopes up.

Nope, I'm still holding to the super special

USC (cali, please accept me) sends those out in the fall too when they need more money to pay the bills
