Applying here to regional campuses only as an OOS. Checking in.
Anybody take Casper today? I took it and I don't know how to gage it just wanted other people's opinions
Yup, don't really know what to think because I don't know what's at stake. Managed to get 1-2 sentences for most answers, had a couple where I had to stop mid-sentence because of the timer. Not too bad though.Anybody take Casper today? I took it and I don't know how to gage it just wanted other people's opinions
Yeah I got most of my answers in but felt that the situations got more difficult the further you went
Did mine today too. Thought it went fine but I have no clue hahaI'm taking it in 50 minutes. I added MCW yesterday.
+1Anyone have any status change on the Applicant Portal? Still have "Under Review" and "In Progress" here
I think I remember reading somewhere that you'll never have a green checkmark next to the supplemental items tab. Just a quirk in their system I guess.I just paid my application fee and filled out the secondary, however I don't have a green checkmark next to "Supplemental Items".
On the main page it says Application Status "In Progress", and it then says "please review supplemental items tab on the left to review additional information required to complete your application". Should I wait a few days for them to receive my LORs, and then I'll get a green check mark or what?
If I click the Supplemental Items tab, it says "Under Review" next to LOR, and everything else is either Valid, or N/A. Do I have to take the Casper test before getting the green check mark?

I can't speak for others, but my application is "in progress" while my LORs are "under review".So then does everyone else have "In Progress" next to application status? Or do some have "Under Review"?

mine says complete
Mine says complete as well. Once your letters have been processed, they switch the letters to processed, instead of under review.What do your letters say? Under the supplemental tab

Complete as well! Woop
Did you get an email? Just checked the portal, and I'm the same. Yay! Time to wait for CASPer to go through though. Does everyone still have an empty space next to the CASPer section?
No I checked the portal, too once I saw everyone else notice their status changed. I guess I still have an empty space next to my CASPer section, too. However, the front page says "Complete" so I took it and ran with it. CASPer's gonna take forever... :/
Ok cool. Yeah, whatevs. We're all in the same boat. In hindsight, I guess I could have worked on this app later since they won't even be reviewing it for another month. It was the first one I submitted haha.
Yes!Green Bay and Central Wisc campuses are 3-year programs and Milwaukee is the normal 4 year? Am I understanding this correctly?
Rising M2 here. You pick one pathway. You can switch after your first year, but it's really designed for you to just do one.Anyone who is familiar with the program and the scholarly pathways for the Milwaukee campus; how do they work? do you pick one pathway to do, or can you pick more than one during the 4 years of med school?
@Above&Beyond May be a bad question, but Is the Urban and community health scholarly path only urban populations or does it also include other communities like rural populations?
when were you complete/when did you take CASPER? Congrats!!My first II! Came in an email this morning. Dates are 9/8 and 9/14
It probably won't say anything until they receive your scoresUnder 'Supplemental Items' does anyone have a box beside Casper or is it blank for everyone else? I wrote Casper on the earliest date and nothing is beside the Casper category.
I was complete on 7/3 (the day I received the secondary) and took Casper on 6/28. I am not from Wisconsin, but close by. If anyone else hears back or has questions, feel free to message we so we can talkwhen were you complete/when did you take CASPER? Congrats!!
Thank you! I was hesitant since URM usually invokes ideas of ethnicity or race only but the more I think about it, the more I feel it is fitting.Definitely. That absolutely qualifies as a significant hardship that would be completely reasonable to write about.
I want you guys' input on the URM section of MCW's secondary. It has a bunch of checkboxes that are basically their standards for being considered URM. While I am not ethnically or racially a URM (i.e. black, latino, native american, etc.), one of the checkboxes says "I have overcome a significant hardship". Under this qualification, I do believe I am URM as I had to deal with my brother's drug addiction and the effects it had on my family. Easily one of the most difficult periods of my life. Do you guys think this is appropriate for me to include as a "significant hardship"?
Is it in our best interest to just apply to all 3 locations if we have no particular preference, just to maximize our chances? Or is there a factor I am not considering?
