Has anyone got any insight on whether or not second look will be in person this year?

During my interview, they said they may allow accepted students to schedule individual in-person tours if you reach out to admissions.

Random question, can a medical school see where a student has been accepted/waitlisted?

Nope! They can pretty much only see where their applicants matriculated in the following October.

From an angst perspective:
I have no right to give anyone advice, but ....My personal perspective is that all the applicants need to quit worrying about stats and LM etc. In reality if you are here, you are competitive at some schools. So at this stage in the game, it’s about showing interest in schools, LOI etc., every couple of weeks. At the end of the day please don’t hesitate to show interest. No school is going to turn you away or get pissed off if you send them emails. Show interest, ask them for an update- (distinction here) you don’t have to send them updates! My best wishes to you all!

I was WL on Feb23rd and was wondering how many people are usually accepted off of the waitlist? Also, does MCW have some sort of ranked waitlist or are acceptances offered at random?

Typical # of Waitlist Positions: 100-200 at MCW-Milwaukee and 25-50 at MCW-Green Bay and MCW-Central Wisconsin
# of Acceptance Offers: 50
Waitlist Procedures: Applicants are placed on the waitlist throughout the interview cycle with few offers extended prior to May. The waitlist is unranked, and applicants are selected through a holistic review process

Anyone else waiting for a post-interview decision on 3/22? Super excited and nervous, trying not to get my hopes up but my best friend lives in Milwaukee and it'd be great to spend the next 4 years there! :)

Has anybody been accepted off the WL? I know they say most WL movement happens in May, but they said a "few" offers happen before then.

Was anyone else promised a March 15th decision? (for green bay)... I haven't heard :(

I was creeping on your responses and see that you were already accepted to the Milwaukee campus. Why did you decide to interview at the Green Bay campus as well?
 
Still radio silence, complete in September

do you mind sharing if you are in state or oos and stats? I haven't heard anything yet and am worried it was my CASPR :(
 
any accepted students get the 2021 match list? I saw they updated their website to reflect distribution but anyone get the actual list?

I was accepted into the MD/MS program today. Those of you who also got accepted into the program do you think it’s manageable to do both MD and graduate courses together?

Congrats! I was accepted to it too today. It sounds like we wouldn’t do the pathway courses and instead just to the MS courses (correct me if I’m wrong). And in M3 & M4 we take research electives. Having true P/F preclinical grades sounds like it will help our extra responsibilities be more manageable. However, I think it will likely only be worth it if your goals include a career that involves some degree of clinical research.

Thanks, I didn’t know we wouldn’t do the pathway courses. That makes the load easier. Yes I plan to do research throughout my career. Also I think it will make our residency application stand out since Step 1 is pass and fail now.

The USMLE changes are a huge relief right when going for stuff like a dual degree 😅

I've heard they would be done interviewing on 3/26, but that was not an official source. I assume that they are 99% or 100% done with II.

Yea I mean they said they wouldn’t send interview rejections until the cycle was over. Sent out a bunch yesterday, so that’s probably indicative of the end of their season.

campus is beautiful, area directly around it is pretty typical suburban/nice small town. downtown has its fun areas (12 minutes from campus). I can answer any other questions on the area if anyone has them!
