Anyone who has interviewed here, do you have any advice? This is my first interview! Is it more like a traditional interview

Traditional interview but chill. I'd say it was ~10-15 minutes interview questions and the rest just chatting for both of my interviews

I just got my itinerary for the MSTP interview on 2/10! Does anyone know if the times on the itinerary are in CST time?
 
for those of you that uploaded updates, did you do it through it the portal? and was it confirmed by admissions or we just assume that it got uploaded?

the day is really long, but low stress! My favorite part was the presentation they gave us about Milwaukee that was basically an AD for all the breweries. You have programming for several hours until noon (QnAs, info sessions, etc), lunch, then 2 interviews, and an optional group activity. The group activity is entirely optional and I can't tell you what it is bc I didn't go to it myself. The 2 interviews are low-stress, and they really know your app so be prepared to talk about everything! Once you get to the interview with MCW they really want you, so just don't give them a reason to reject you and you've got a great chance. Good luck, and hope to see you in my class next year!

I would assume so--I interviewed here and a school in a different time zone, and for both they gave me times in their respective zones, not mine.

Does waitlist movement start after may or in June? I’m not sure what the commit to enrol dates are (since I’m not accepted)

PTE deadline is May 2 & CTE is July 18

Most schools have indicated waitlist movement after PTE deadline, but I can’t say exactly when MCW does theirs. Maybe someone else can chime in with more specifics if they exist.

II just received. Interview Scheduled for 2/18/21.

Was quite surprised to receive an II since I did not send an update/follow-up letter, as I was set on attending another medical school.

3.6 GPA, 498 MCAT.

Is MCW pass/fail? And does anybody know if they use NBME exams or their own.
 
II to the milwaukee campus at 6am...I’m so over the moon about it that I created an account to share my excitement. I’ve had 5 other interview invites but this school is my number 1!

The portal said there’s only two dates left for interviews for the milwaukee campus for this cycle feb 18th and March 4th after that there will be no more interviews for that campus. Good luck everyone still waiting

MCW is true P/F with no internal ranking. We have in house exams, professors in most classes try to mimic USMLE style questions on the exams. With step going P/F I personally feel the need for NBME exams is slightly less important than it was when step was scored, but n=1 and I haven't taken step 1 yet.

I am trying to remain hopeful that the MCW Interview gods will smile upon me but this cycle has basically left me living in a box under a bridge not looking forward to trying to rebuild myself to reapply in 4 months.

Do you find that study resources like Anking, B & B, sketchy, pathoma, etc are sufficient for preparing for the in-house exams, or do the professor-written exams force you to memorize obscure topics from the lecture/slides in order to pass?

I might not be the best person to answer that since I haven't used a lot of outside resources, but even when i leafed through first aid USMLE step prep book, a lot of the material in there has been covered in the classes we've taken thus far. I know plenty of people who do use outside resources and they've been sufficient to pass, although I personally don't know anyone who solely uses outside resources and does not attend/review class material at all. There are always some professors who are nit-picky with details and what they want you to know, but getting that extra material down likely means the difference between a 75/80% and a 90%, not P/F (anything above a 65% is pass). FWIW, our class has averaged 80 - high 80% on just about all M1 exams thus far (we have been told this is very similar to previous years performances), and MCW students have historically performed above average on Step 1.

Hi folks! I received a II from this school recently. At this point in the cycle they indicated there are only two dates left to interview and they are already full. My friend and I are actually on a waitlist to see if any other spots open up. Just wanted to share this information to anybody who might still be waiting on a II.

Is it possible that they'll add on interview dates? Last year's thread shows that people got an invitation into late March.
