"The facilities are awesome and I like the new curriculum that is being put in place" More from this Member | Report Response

"All of the faculty, staff, and students I interacted with were very friendly and candid." More from this Member | Report Response

"The students were really the best thing about MCW. They all seemed happy to be there, and the class as a whole seems very collaborative and not at all competitive. The class size is large so even if there's someone you just don't mesh with, you can just never speak to them which is awesome since I think all medical schools get a few of "those people" in every class. And there's always enough people to find a good group of friends to hang and study with. Most of the facilities are very nice and new. They have a lot of resources for advising and counseling whether it be for classes/boards/mental health/residency matching. From large and small group tutoring, career advising, board study groups, everything was available should it be needed. The curriculum is being over-hauled over the next couple years (started about 2 years ago), which is very needed and will definitely prepare students to succeed in today's field of medicine. It's also really nice to know that the faculty have recognized how much medicine has changed and that medical education needs to change to keep up unlike some other schools that prefer to deny that a century-old curriculum is out-of-date. It's very affordable to live very close to the school and in a nice and safe place. The faculty are very available to the students. The pathways seem very interesting especially the clinician educator pathway as I'm interested in medical education and haven't been able to find a lot of medical schools that specifically have ways to teach students to become teachers. Great research programs, whether you pick a summer research program a research honors distinction or the physician/scientist pathway (not the joint degree). Great ways to help out in communties around Milwaukee, I especially am excited about the Saturday Free Clinic. It has a free gym and lounge area with tv, pool tables, and ping pong tables."

The students were extremely nice. The grading isn't bell curve based so people try to help each other (not that cut-throat). They always seem to find funding if you want to do research (which I do). The cafeteria is nice and reasonably priced. So is the housing; apparently a good apartment with 1 roommate runs about $500. They have tons of teachers and faculty full time; professors are extremely accessible via e-mail and HOME phone #. They will get their decision back to you in 1 week!

The school has great new facilities and they really seem like they care about the students." More from this Member | Report Response

"How new everything was and how friendly most of the students (except for my student interviewer) and faculty were. The low cost of living in Milwaukee." More from this Member | Report Response

"Everything. By far one of the most organized interview day. The staff really knows what they're doing. The school has really nice facilities and the students were extremely friendly." More from this Member | Report Response

"the fact that they make a decision within a week of the interview" More from this Member | Report Response

"The building is quite new and the hospital is connected to it. Also, the promptness of the admissions committee on reviewing the applications of those interviewed. You hear from them in about a week after you interview as to whether you are accepted, rejected or put on the waiting list." More from this Member | Report Response

"facilities were nice and new, school seemed to have a lot to offer. most students seemed to like it there, everything is really centrally located, all the hospitals and stuff. students can live pretty close to the campus too, even walking distance." More from this Member | Report Response

"The guy in charge was a bit rude. He said a couple out of pocket things in my opinion." More from this Member | Report Response

"Poor cell service." More from this Member | Report Response

"Students seemed to just be coasting by and not caring for the school. The students didn't like how the school responded to the recent student suicide. Out of the six students I spoke to, all six said they don't go to lectures and just watch classes at 2x speed at home. Well, then who even goes to class and are the teachers that boring?? They all complained about the cold except a milwaukee local. The tour guide said many students don't go to the gym on campus. Instead, they pay for off campus gym facility. Extreme lack of ethnic diversity compared to the city. Very very expensive and little scholarship." More from this Member | Report Response

"The weather" More from this Member | Report Response

"I knew this pre-interview, but the class size is SO big (205 on main campus)" More from this Member | Report Response

"Interviewer really grilled me. Caught me off guard because we were told the interviews would be low stress" More from this Member | Report Response

"Being in the mid-west was... different. Wish we could have seen the hospitals. Gym on campus" More from this Member | Report Response

"The night before the interview they held a social where applicants could meet with current students over pizza and have an informal conversation. This was a good opportunity, but it ran very late, which was difficult after such a long flight." More from this Member | Report Response

"The facilities aren't as nice as UW-Madison, but still not bad" More from this Member | Report Response

"The M4 student that interviewed me was openly condescending. Since this attitude did not mesh with my previous experiences with people associated with MCW, during the interview I forced myself to believe it was an affected persona they assumed." More from this Member | Report Response

"Got a little lost on the way to my interview because the sign wasn't very clear, however- a nice professor escorted me to the right room and my student interviewer was very nice and accommodating about the situation" More from this Member | Report Response

"My 2nd interviewer wasn't friendly at all. I felt "grilled." He seemed bored out of his mind." More from this Member | Report Response

"I had some general lingering concerns over how successful the new curriculum is going to be." More from this Member | Report Response

"A few of the facilities such as a computer lab we passed by on the tour seem a little out-dated (although most things are very nice and new). The gym is in the basement which seems kind of like a dungeon and has some REALLY old machines alongside the newer ones. The new curriculum is much needed but means that the current classes are being phased from the old one and into the new one. They are doing this with volunteer pilot programs for certain courses that then become the regular course for next year's class. This caused some bumps (as any new curriculum will) with scaling the pilot programs (mostly small groups) up to the whole class of ~200 students. Overall I got the sense that the faculty are really dedicated to helping the students as much as possible and making the switch as seamless as possible while remaining very open to student feedback, however there are still going to be some problems and the classes during the switch are still going to be guinea pigs for testing everything out on. Overall it's working out well, but not everything is working perfectly. The new pathways seem very interesting but so far not well clarified. Even the students currently doing them are not sure what they are expected to accomplish with them before their graduation." More from this Member | Report Response

"students didn't seem that excited to be there, cold weather, new pilot curriculum for small part of incoming class" More from this Member | Report Response

"I do not like the way so much depends on your completion date." More from this Member | Report Response

"The curriculum that has 3-4 classes per block (instead of focusing on one thing at a time), and lots of class time per day (8am to potentially mid/late afternoon). Little clinical experience for 1st and 2nd years. The dinky basement gym. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Students bragging about not going to class" More from this Member | Report Response

"I didnt like the student life a whole lot-a lot of the students live scattered around, a lot are married or with families. It seems like they go to school and dont hang out outside of school. I also felt babyed by the dean of admissions- he talked to us like we were 5." More from this Member | Report Response

"The fact that it snows from early November until late April. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The students, some of the other people I interviewed with, felt like nothing I had done was good enough" More from this Member | Report Response

"They didn't show us the anatomy lab. The specific school isn't that ethnically diverse, but if you want to go to downtown Milwaukee you'll get your diversity (7 miles east of campus, very short driving distance)" More from this Member | Report Response

"Giant class size. Student tour leaders just came off having a biochem test and were tired. M1 lecture hall looks like it needs some updating." More from this Member | Report Response

"New buildings and they put in chalk boards? And I don't think any of the histo slides are digital." More from this Member | Report Response

"Some of the students and other students interviewing were a little snooty." More from this Member | Report Response

"student insights: they are glad they do not have to share with other kinds of students, and like to go out when its ''just us medical students'' felt like a ''we like diversity but only within our own lines'' verbal differences, student referred to a particular area as an ''area that had a lot of blacks'' which threw me off" More from this Member | Report Response

"Approximately 25% of the student body is married, and another 25% are in long-term serious relationships. As a single person, I viewed this as a negative aspect." More from this Member | Report Response

"All interviews are on Friday from 11am-5pm (although they end at around 4:15pm) .. I am a Muslim and Friday prayers are an absolute must for myself. When I asked if I could be accommodated for in some way, either arriving late or leaving for 20-30min during the tour I was not given any help. I decided to come late (and it turns out the interviews and everything don't really begin until 12:30pm) because it was important to me that I not miss prayers. I guess they may not have much experience with these cases but it made me consider what four years at this school might be like given that very few Muslims attend the school (percentage-wise)." More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing really...if anything I guess I'd say the student tour leaders spent most of the time talking to each other than trying to give us a good tour, but they were still receptive to any questions people had." More from this Member | Report Response

"Downtown Milwaukee is kind of depressing..." More from this Member | Report Response

"The school was not even located in Milwaukee; it is in a small suburb. The medical students didn't seem very happy about being at this school. Some said that this was the only place that they had been accepted at. It was the first week of November and it was freezing already outside!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Almost the entire student body was married. Not that I have anything againt marraige, but it must be hard to interact with your classmates when you have a family at home." More from this Member | Report Response

"The " More from this Member | Report Response

"Not much was done to sell the school. Maybe they assumed that since we were ED, we already knew the selling points. It would have been nice to hear why the admissions committe thought it was great, too! And how do I put this...sometimes the tone taken with us was reminiscent of high school. " More from this Member | Report Response

"My impression from the experience and what I have read lead me to believe that the school is not as competitive as most for residency placement. The students will say this is not true, but the facts they cite to support their view are vague." More from this Member | Report Response

"this isn't really negative but there isn't a collegiate campus "feel"" More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing really" More from this Member | Report Response

"Was not told much about social/extracurricular activities of the students. Did not get a good feel for how students get along at the school. They may get along great, but the social aspect of the school was still very unkown to me when I left. The entire area is very much under construction. I imagine the appearance of the school will be much more attractive when it is finished." More from this Member | Report Response

"poor tour, way too many interviewees (60 at the time), doesn't seem to much of a selective school. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Not too much honestly." More from this Member | Report Response

"One of the interviewers got mad when I said I wanted to "help/work with people". He asked me why I didn't get my RN. After explaining myself further he seemed placated." More from this Member | Report Response

"construction everywhere b/c they are renovating, the older buildings are a little claustrophobic." More from this Member | Report Response

"I went to lecture in the morning, and it is a very large class-over 200 students-not so sure that it is my cup of tea. Not the most diverse class in the world either-I only counted a handful of minority students in the entire lecture hall. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Parts of the building where students have labs, classrooms, are surprisingly old looking when compared with the remainder of the building. Class size is large, at 204.

"Not much." More from this Member | Report Response

"One of my interviewers did not seem very interested in me at all." More from this Member | Report Response

"While the staff and students who assisted us thoughout the day repeatedly told us that our interview would be "laid back", I actually didn't find them very laid back. It seemed more like the interviewers were asking me formal questions from their bank rather than genuinely gettting to know me. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The entering class is already full. I was put onto the Priority Waiting List...=( However, the school does have a record of accepting many students from the waiting list in the past. So, I am still keeping hopes up! Not much entertainment around the school. " More from this Member | Report Response

Admissions just tell you to plan for leaving MCW at 5pm just to give you lots of time." More from this Member | Report Response

"Believe it or not, I didn't know this was a private school. I don't like to learn too much about a school going in, I'm more interested in talking to current students. Still the fact that this is a private school is a very basic thing that I should have known. It is an expensive school and they require a credit report for your application (so BRING that with you to the interview day, seriously)." More from this Member | Report Response

"If you're coming from the airport and going to a hotel (my flight was delayed and I missed the social + student hosting), you can take the Airport Connection shuttle service to your hotel. It's cheaper than a taxi, and you can arrange the ride right in the baggage claim. I stayed at Holiday Inn Express and the fare was $18, verses $30 something for a taxi out there."

The admissions director made it very clear that he was ready to accept every one of us applicants interviewing that day (like 50) based on our applications. The final step was the interview. His intention was to help us relax and enjoy our visit since we weren't in competition with the other students there..." More from this Member | Report Response

"That the pediatric hospital on campus is one of the best in the nation and is only a tunnel or two away from the lecture hall. Also, the school is not yet as technically advanced as others--lectures for example are not yet videotaped and made available online. Also, and perhaps most importantly, at this point the interview counts for everything! GPA and MCAT no longer come into the picture. Also, there is a mysterious additional interview for certain applicants after the first two-not sure if that is a good or a bad thing." More from this Member | Report Response

"Make sure to get to school no later than 11:30am and get your voucher for lunch, and then eat as soon after that so that you are ready to go at 12:30. Also, meet with other interviewees at Baggage #3 at MKE for the shuttle ride at 8:00pm or earlier. Also, there were 64 interviewees in my group - which was pretty unique in my experience."

"The interviews are so laid back and it is truly a school that just wants to get to know you. If you interview, they know you can do it academically, but they want to meet you beyond paper...so just relax and be yourself! I interviewed with a student and it was great, because I was able to ask him a bunch of questions about his choice to attend MCW as he also asked me questions (super laid back). " More from this Member | Report Response

"They give you an answer within 2 weeks after the interview.

" More from this Member | Report Response

What are your general comments?

"It was an interrogation so prepare yourself accordingly." More from this Member | Report Response

"I think the school is great. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Even though it is not a top tier medical school- I still think its upper mid level medical school.

"Great school and program. Definitely try to attend the social and get a host, you will learn a lot and have a much better time!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Hearing 7 days after the interview is a great. Being my first interview it was hard to compare and contrast the things I was seeing and hearing, but overall would be very happy at MCW." More from this Member | Report Response

"Great education, great people, great facilities!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I was expecting a laid-back interview based on past reports. However, both of my interviewers were quite confrontational and grilled me for the entire duration of the interview. I was continually defending my decision to pursue medicine as a non-trad. My experience seemed to be unique on this day (based on others that I spoke with) so I just wanted to let others know that it is possible to have a tough interview here. (FWIW - I was directly accepted and will be attending here, so there are absolutely no sour grapes with this feedback.)" More from this Member | Report Response

"I felt the interview day went very well. I really love this school!" More from this Member | Report Response

"very organized interview day" More from this Member | Report Response

"I think MCW has a good balance of clinical and research opportunities, backed by solid teaching hospitals and faculty. It is located in a region that should afford a variety of experiences to suit whatever one may seek." More from this Member | Report Response

"Wish I could have learned a little more detail about what each of the pathways entailed. The info given was helpful but very broad and generalized. It sounded very itneresting and something I would welcome having a chance to take part in, but nobody really seemed to have all the details figured out yet which was frustrating." More from this Member | Report Response

"Do your best!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I think I gained a false sense of security from my faculty interview (she looked like a young, sweet physician); but she was SUPER difficult to crack a smile or laugh. She gave me that question about the daughter and every answer that I had, she responded with a quick rebuttal, almost cutting me off. All in all, the interview must have gone well (because I just got my acceptance!!!), but she was a bit tough. The student interviewer was way laid back and supportive." More from this Member | Report Response

"This school became one of my top choices after my interview. I'll be so happy to start school at MCW." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was accepted off the alternate list. I had an advantage being that this was a late interview and I had the previous experience of 3 other interviews plus additional volunteer experience since the other interviews that turned out to be extremely rewarding. My advice is to keep trying and to show that you are motivated to be superior physician and to be able to discuss the experiences that have shaped your career outlook. It also helps to chill out...you've got nothing to lose." More from this Member | Report Response

"I am picking it over my state school. Yup, its that amazing." More from this Member | Report Response

"This was a late interview, waitlist only. Despite this, however, I was treated as a serious applicant. Everyone was very friendly and optimistic. I enjoyed my visit." More from this Member | Report Response

"Attend the social and host program, they are very helpful in getting to hear from the students and getting your questions about the school answered. Everyone very friendly and helpful--the students, interviewers, admissions, and my fellow interviewees. The interviews are short (30 minutes) so some felt their interviewers were only there to ask specific questions and they were to give direct answers and not a flowing conversation, but mine were nice and cared more about the conversation than specific questions. " More from this Member | Report Response

"I underestimated how much I would like the school and the area. Milwaukee was a fun place to explore and the people both at MCW and around the city were all friendly and welcoming. Students seem really happy at MCW. The fact that it is a stand-alone med school is appealing as well - you get the academic environment without the nuisance and distraction of an undergraduate population competing for the same resources. " More from this Member | Report Response

"It is a really good school. An hour from chicago ;)" More from this Member | Report Response

"School is nice, and the city is great. Student life may fit perfectly for some-expecialy those with spouses and families-since Milwaukee has jobs and schools for kids." More from this Member | Report Response

"The facilities are so new and nice. Milwaukee is actually a really nice, upscale-ish city to live in. Not what I expected at all. I like the huge barnes and noble nearby campus." More from this Member | Report Response

"There were 2 interview sessions, 1 with a M4 student and one with a practicing physician from MCW. Although I was never asked a ethical question, several of the people I met over at the interview were asked some ethical questions." More from this Member | Report Response

"All and all, it went pretty well. Very long day though. Student host was very cool and helpful. " More from this Member | Report Response

"It was very pleasant. I stayed with a host, which was great because it was free, and plus she was very nice. The interview day doesn't start until noon which was good because there were no nightmares of oversleeping. Everything was very well prepared and organized. I was surprised that the interview group was so large, however - 60 people!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I stayed with a student host and learned a great deal of inside info on MCW. Needless to say, most of it was less than impressive. I wouldn't be thrilled if this school were my only option. " More from this Member | Report Response

"I had a monotone physician, who ended up being really awesome, and an awful student. There was no connection between us and he totally didn't like me. I was called for a third interview due to difference of opinions between the two interviewers, and my third guy was great! But, honestly, this is the first school (even with a bad interview) that I have walked out of feeling completely inadequate! Not cool.... thank you for pointing out everything I had done wrong and not thinking my explanations were sufficient enough." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview day was nice. Didn't start until lunchtime so it was easy to get there on time and well rested. I don't think I'll come here though, seems like it was everybody's safety school. " More from this Member | Report Response

"interviewees met for briefing, then separated to go on tours and lunch. interviews occurred at the end of the day, followed by a debriefing. this is one of the least & best interviews i've been on--interviewers are there only to find more info on you and to get to know you" More from this Member | Report Response

"pretty good day, milwaukee was nice, school was impressive" More from this Member | Report Response

"it was very relaxed and my interviewers were very encouraging. it was a structured day with not a lot of sitting around. overall i was really impressed!" More from this Member | Report Response

"The school and the students treat the interviewees great! Your own hotel room, fantastic food, and relaxed interviews made the whole visit seem like a vacation. The research opportunities were far more than I expected and the people were awesome but the school isn't for everyone. If you like warm weather or major cities it might not top your list. So I recommend visiting the school before you make any judgments." More from this Member | Report Response

"Just like what other people have posted. Informational session followed by financial aid presentation. Then interviews/tour and a quick wrap up." More from this Member | Report Response

"felt a little bit like I was going through an assembly line for the interviewers... had student interviewer then stepped outside to go to my next interview next door, and there were like 10 of us in this one hallway doing the same thing... But interviews were fine, even if my faculty interviewer was kind of strange. the student was super nice." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was very relaxed. They were supposed to 30 min each (per interviewer) but each went nearly 45. It was real casual and chit chatting about your experiences. They just want to get to know you and see if you're a good fit for their school. " More from this Member | Report Response

"You get there and they talk about how great the school is. Mike Itswan is a super guy. You divide into two groups, one interviews first the other listens to the dreadful financial aid speech and gets a tour. Interview with a student and a member of faculty. They straight up tell you that one of your interviewers is on the Adcom, which is nice. I thought I interviewed the best of all the schools I have interviewed at, but was asked for a 3 interview. Where I was asked for the 12th time if my dad (a local orthopod) pushed me into medicine... ahh, these people must not realize having a physician as a parent isn't exactly the best advertisement for the field. Oh well, winged that, listened to them try to sell the school again, Left. 1230-430. The group was 60 people and we were there for 4 hours, also we get our decision response fast. Why are other schools, who interview less, sooo much slower. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Stay with a host, they were SUPER nice and it saves you a bundle." More from this Member | Report Response

"2 interviews, one student (M-3), one faculty. The faculty member that I met with didn't show much emotion, it was hard to get a good read. Overall, both people were nice." More from this Member | Report Response

"I liked my interviewers. I'm glad I was asked some more in depth questions than in one of my previous interviews - they allowed me to show what I knew. I had one student, one faculty interviewer (I think this might be true of everyone) which is nice because you can ask different questions of the student interviewer than you could of the faculty member." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was a little uneasy because the interview isn't as laid back as some of the others I've had. The school did a great job of showcasing itself." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was incredibly laidback. They made it clear what would happen next and when and what was expected as far as financial aid concerns (you must get a copy of your credit report after you interview and fill out the FAFSA, etc.)." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall positive Student interview simple and uncomfortably short Faculty interview pleasant and long" More from this Member | Report Response

"It was a very structured and organized day. You should definitely attend the social the night before and stay with a current medical school student. It was a good experience. The interview day was laid back. There were about 60 students interviewing, but it wasn't hectic. I did not feel stressed out at all." More from this Member | Report Response

"i had a WONDERFUL time and felt that the school really catered to the needs of the students. everyone seemed really happy to be there." More from this Member | Report Response

"Got there at noon, ate with some students, got the speach from the admissions director, interviewed right within a half-hour, toured, listened to the financial aid talk, said good-byes." More from this Member | Report Response

"When Mike Istwan (admissions director, very cool guy) emphasized how important the interviews are 10 minutes before I went to mine, I kind of freaked out. I was nervous, and don't think I interviewed as well as I could have. Still holding on to hope that I get in, though, it seems like a great school. The current students were really friendly and welcoming. The day was very well organized." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was a very organized experience. I came in the night before and the shuttle to the school, the ''social'' and staying with a current med student was great. It was very good to talk with him and get my questions answered...they also did a good job of pairing me up (he went to my university, and recently got married as I had done). The day of interviews was great-very organized and informative. I only wish that it could have started earlier in the morning. The interviewers were both great...they wanted to get to know me without intimidating me and answered any questions I had (actually, the toughest question I might have had was the 7th time they asked me if I had any more questions). I really enjoyed it. I also appreciated how honest they were with us (our group was only interviewing for the alternate list). They were honest with us and I appreciated that." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was the best interview! Both of my interviewers were extremely nice and asked interesting questions. They showed interest in me as a person and not just what they saw in my file. There is quite a large group of applicants each day they do interviews so that was a little intimidating. Overall it was really great." More from this Member | Report Response

"The organization of the session was very impressive. Everything started on time and we were kept well informed during the day. My two interviews were very laid back and were both faculty members. I fell in love with the school the night before when i saw the way the students interacted with each other during the social. Plus they will tell you when the admission committe is meeting and when to expect your decision letter. I got mine exactly eight days later.I got in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview day was quite nice, comparable to other schools that have done a good job. The interviews are incredibly low stress - I think my interviewers were even lower stress than most." More from this Member | Report Response

"Nice place, nice students, great facilities, but seriously the interview left a lot to be desired. If you're going to invite someone for an interview, actually interview them, don't just antagonize them for 30 minutes and send them about their day. It was not worth the money." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, I had a great experience interviewing at MCW. The interviewers were knowledgable about my file and seemed truly interested in finding out who I was and if I would fit into the school instead of just drilling me with bioethics and misc. questions." More from this Member | Report Response

"Fly a day before the interview, attend the info session at night, stayed with host. The interview n info session starts around 12:30, so u have plenty of time to dress up and do yadi yada. My interview is in late session. One with MD/PhD and the other is PhD. The PhD guy keeps pounding back to my verbal score, but he doesn't ask me anything specific about medical field. The other guy asks a lot and he seems pretty contended with my answer. Finish around 4:15. Change clothes and shuttle picks up to airport. Very organized day!!"

"Overall, my experience went pretty well. The social is nice and calmed my nerves the night before. I stayed with a med student and we went out to a local bar after the social. The facilities are nice and the students are all very friendly. I just can't decide if I really like the fact that the school is only for med students or if I like other schools I have been to that have other allied health professions.

"I loved this school! I had my best interviewing experience yet and I felt more comfortable here than any other place that i have been. I went the night before to stay with a host student. We had dinner and got a chance to ask a studnet panel questions and then we were matched with our hosts. Mine was really nice and helpful. We went out to a local bar and hung out with some other hosts and applicants. The next day my host drove me the college for my interview. We had orientation, then half the group went a tour and the rest of us went and had our two interviews. Then we had a tour and we left. My interviews were very laid back, but complete. I really enjoyed the whole experience. " More from this Member | Report Response

"I had one doctor and one student. The doctor was nice but very early in the interview she asked tough questions that were meant to test my self-confidence and basically make me sweat (''why did you fail to get in last year?'' ''what if you don't get in again?'' and so on). It was tough but I was also glad that they'd ask things like that to their interviewees. The student was very laid back and gave me ample time to ask him questions about the school and why he chose MCW. The student who gave the tour was very nice. She was pregnant and so she was feeling kind of tired and asked if we could skip one or two places, which was fine by me because I was sort of exhausted myself because I was sick. Still I could feel that she loved the school and its faculty very much. There's also a real nice financial aid presentation given by the school's financial office guy (?), and this guy use to work for a bank so I guess he knows his stuff."

"The day went well, it is really organized. Normally everyone has 2 interviews, but I was asked to do a third at the end of the day. First interviewer was a PHD in anethesiology with a thick german accent and seemed to not really care about what I had to say. Last two interviews (M3 and Internist) were better as they at least gave some feedback. I was dissapointed that we didnt get to see the hospitals at all." More from this Member | Report Response

"Really great experience overall. Had one admission committee member as an interviewer and a 4th year student. The student was tougher than the committee member, which turned out to be the norm for many of my fellow applicants. Not too bad though...I got my admission letter a week later! :)" More from this Member | Report Response

"I had one interview with a professor who was nice but unclear when asking questions. I had to ask him to repeat what he had asked me a few times. The student had not looked over my file at all before I got there so she was flipping through it and asking me about random things in it. Overall, the interviews were not very stressful."

"They tell you to show up at 11AM, but nothing happens till 12:30. The first part of the day is spent listening to the director of admissions give his schpeele. He seems like he'd make a good car salesman, and is kind of aggressive in the way he talks about admissions. Don't worry though, because the 2 interviews are the MOST laid back I've ever seen, even more than UVM. Make sure you have plenty of questions, becuase after about 10-12 minutes of asking you questions, the interviewers spend the rest of the time answering YOUR questions. So prepare accordingly.

"All applicants invited to MCW are qualified for MCW so whether you get accepted or rejected is completely dependent on your interview. Overall, the school is really dedicated to their students. They even had shuttles from and to the airport. I wish other schools would follow suit. The students did not compete with each other for ranking and weren't so focused on their studies that they couldn't pursue outside interests. Overall, it seemed like a really great school."

"it was low stress, the admissions staff was very friendly (orientation was given by the dean, who talked with students one-on-one) and the students held an informal meet and greet the night before the interview for us to ask questions and get pre-interview jitters out of our system. this was great."

"I arrived on Thursday night and met with about 11 other applicants at the airport. It was great to talk to so many other students about the process. Everyone was so friendly (most were from the west coast). We took the shuttle to the campus and went to the social. It's much more casual than I expected. They had some food, showed us a video about the school (which was a great way to learn more about it) and then had about 8 students sit on a panel and answer any questions we had. At the end of the evening, we were assigened to our student hosts and left home. My student host was SO WONDERFUL. She was the greatest and we stayed up talking about the school and the experience, it was so much fun!! The next day, I went to school with my host and attended lecture with her (got a feel for the school and the students), then went to the library and checked my email (and SDN lol). Met some other applicants and chatted with them. Had lunch at the cafeteria and went to start the interview day at 12:30. There was about 60 interviewees. We were given folders with our interviewers names. We were split into 2 groups. The group I was in had a financial aid talk, then we were split into groups of 4 students and we had our own tour guide. The small group was wonderful cuz you could really ask questions! Then I had my 2 interviews. You check out, get a free MCW T-shirt :) They called for a shuttle for all us flying that same night, so took the shuttle to the airport and I Was on the same flight with about 8 other applicants so I had a blast at the airport.

"It was a good day, but not a great day. I had a faculty interview with whom I felt reasonably comfortable, but I felt like she was just moving down a list of things that she needed to cover and she didn't really allow a good conversation to develop. My second interview was with a student and she was much more difficult to connect with especially when her first question was, "So, tell me about your life." It just never flowed easily and was filled with semi-awkward pauses. However, I don't think she was bothered at all by this. Overall, I felt like my interviews went as well as possible."

The next day, I ate lunch with students and interviewees at about 11:30, and met in the conference room at 12:30. The admissions director gave a quick presentation. Then half the group went for their interviews while the other half had a financial aid presentation. Then we had a 30 min tour of the school. After that we had our interviews, which went pretty well. With a such a large interview group, I expected it to be a little chaotic, but it was actually the most organized interview day that I've been to yet.

"I arrived a little later than I should have, so I missed eating lunch. (I wouldn't reccommend that.) The first thing is a small prestation about the school and the curriculum. Then there is a small financial aid presentation. After that you go on a tour of the complex. (Excellent facilities by the way, everything seems pretty new.) After that you have two interviews. I interviewed with an MD from the hospital nearby, and a 4th year. The MD was very laid back and I think we connected well. The interview was very conversational, and we talked a lot about our common interests. (hockey and music)Talking with the 4th year was a little weird, because it seemed like he was more nervous than I was to be there. Nothing to surprising came out during the interviews though. After the interviews the day is done. (about 4:30)" More from this Member | Report Response

When none came and I realized only 5 minutes of the 30 minute interview had passed, I started asking her questions about the school and continued like this for the next 25 minutes. The interview with the member of the admissions committee was more typical.

On the other hand, the student was a lot more intense with a lot more harder questions, such as the social security one. He also grilled me about my mcat score and lack of research experience and then after I answered told me that at this point they didn't really matter anyway. After awhile though it got more relaxed and we started talking about the Milwaukee bars and snowboarding." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was very nice. It was so chill and relaxed. I definitely thought that everything was planned out really well. My interview with the student was GREAT. I don't think he asked me one single medical related question. He was more interested in my interests outside of medicine. We just sat around and talked like good buddies. My faculty interviewer was much more serious, as expected. He asked general questions, but kept looking at the time every 5 minutes so that was discouraging.

I don't think we are being judged on our standpoints. The student interview was basically a conversation, really chill. I really enjoyed the whole MCW experience - including the Thursday night social, applicant host program, etc. A couple of us even went out to some pubs the night before, which made the whole experience more relaxed, not stressful. The interview day was good too (although the faculty interview was a bit difficult). Overall a really great experience at MCW!" More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview day starts with a free lunch in the cafeteria. It's a good opportunity to relax before the interview and get to know the other interviewees. Then there is a de-briefing at 12:30, at which point interviewees are divided into two groups. Group one has interviews (2, half hour each) first, then a presentation on financial aid and a tour. Group two has the presentation/tour first. I was in group one, so my interviews were first. My first one was with a fourth year medical student, and it was awesome! We really just had a nice conversation during which he asked me some questions about my experiences and my opinions on medicine, doctors, healthcare, etc. Nothing intense, and he really helped put me at ease. For my second interview, I met with a PhD. That was interesting, to say the least. He greeted me nicely and asked how I liked MCW so far, then he leapt into the TOUGH questions: he gave me an ethical dilemma, asked why healthcare costs are so high, asked my opinion on affirmative action, wanted to know my view on American foreign policy, and even asked who I was going to vote for!! Some of those questions made me a little uncomfortable, to say the least, and every time he asked me a question he stared behind me, or held his head, or looked at his hand! It was very distracting, but I know he did that to another interviewee, so maybe that's just how he does things. From what I heard from other interviewees, however, this second interview was not a standard MCW interview experience. So if you get that guy, just try to stay calm and don't panic!

"I was surprised at how little the school tried to sell itself or point out its unique aspects. The assumption was almost like "you'll come here if you don't have other options." The Director of Admissions talked about how they're med-student focused, since there's no ugrad student body and they don't have to worry about fielding a football team. I'd rather have heard about their values, goals, initiatives. My interviewer asked what I'll do if I don't get any acceptances, when it's late Feb. and I have two acceptances. Very much got the feeling that it's a safety-school. They're working on bringing in more research money to up their prestige, but what would I get at MCW that would be different from New York Med, Drexel, Loyola, etc." More from this Member | Report Response

I think if I had only talked with my student interviewer, I would have just left MCW with a distorted view of the school." More from this Member | Report Response

"The staff really knows how to treat applicants. They are pretty close to schedule and they have sodas ready for you and you get a free shirt. The get together the night before is fun too. Overall, I was surprised about how much I liked MCW." More from this Member | Report Response

"Everyone there was incredibly nice. The interviews were very laid-back, and everyone was genuinely interested in you as a person. There was ample time to discuss your experiences, and meeting with a student helped to take some of the stress off. I really enjoyed my time there." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was a little nervous, but I thought that the people who were interviewing with me were absolutely wonderful! It's a very humanity-orented med school." More from this Member | Report Response

"MCW really goes out of their way to make the interview day an enjoyable experience. Mr. Istwan is great, my student interviewer never really asked me a question. We just talked. I was really nervous going in, but after 5 minutes of the 1st interview, I began to feel a lot more comfortable, and thats a credit to the friendly attitude of the student interviewing me. Its a fun day, just relax." More from this Member | Report Response

"I stayed with a good friend of mine that goes to school there. I went to the school, ate lunch there, talked with a lot of the others that were interviewing that day. There was almost 50 people interviewing that day. The day was pretty short. The student that gave the tour really seemed to like the school. Also, don't worry, if you get the third interview...they stress this point that day. I was interviewed first by a faculty member. It went awful. Absolutely awful. My second interviewer was third year student, and that one went great! I assumed I was doomed because my first interview did not go well, but yesterday I recieved an acceptance letter in the mail. Basically, just be yourself. Once you get an interview, you have a good chance of getting accepted. I think they really do look at everything in your application. Good luck. And, be sure to go out in Milwaukee that night after your interview!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview experience at MCW was a postive one. The interviewers are just trying to get to know you, and the students are helpful and friendly. " More from this Member | Report Response

"I dont know what was up with my first interviewer. He had at least 6 ethical scenarios that he brought up, which at first seemed like he was just chatting, but then he would turn the tables and ask what i thought, or how i would solve the problem. one or 2 are ok, but not when most of the interview was about that, i definately do not feel like i was able to express enough about me...i dont think my experience was a typical one. I was having a good time until then!" More from this Member | Report Response

"On the whole, a very positive and encouraging visit - I was very impressed with MCW!" More from this Member | Report Response

"The school is wonderful. Don't worry if you get a third interview. It usually means that there was something left out during the first two interviews. I met several people who were attending the school, who had three interviews. Mr. Istwan is really nice, but he is still getting use to his position, so he was a little nervous."

"the interviewers were alot more relaxed than i thought, the whole experience went well and was not very stressful" More from this Member | Report Response

"They had a welcome/social hour thing on Thursday night for the students staying with a host. We had lunch in the cafeteria before the formal day started. The whole group was split into two, I had my interviews first, followed by a tour of the school. Once everyone was done, we had a brief financial aid presentation. The formal part lasted from 12:30 until about 4:30. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The first interview I had with a student was more intense. She had the normal list of questions which might give the impression that she's trying to stump the interviewee, but they were not very difficult. It seemed that she was trying to get to know me as a person. The second interview was with a doctor who was very friendly and reminded me of my Chemistry professor. She brought up the importance of being ethical as a doctor, and at one point said that I would be a great doctor because of my warm smile. That was very nice, but later when I was filling out an evaluation for my interviewers, there was a specific question of whether my interviewer made me feel confident in pursuing a career in medicine. I wondered if she really meant what she had said after reading that, but I still enjoyed the experience and talking with the two interviewers. Overall, the visit was very pleasant and the students were extremely nice." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview day was really great with the exception of one thing: it would be better if all students could interview shortly after arriving so they're not stressing about it during lunch and the tour. Staff was great at answering questions and helping us understand the process. It's great that MCW has a very short secondary applicaton." More from this Member | Report Response

"For the Thurs informal meetings, post a sign on the main door directing students to the building's "north entrance". The main doors are all locked after 6 pm (the meetings start at 8:30) and say to use the "north entrance", but didn't give any indication of which way around the rather large building would be the closet and easiest way to find the north entrance. Thankfully I guessed and it was correct so I found it pretty easy but other applicants guessed the wrong way and could have been saved the trouble especially since it was pretty cold outside."
