How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, MCW website, talked to my host, read up on healthcare issues, watched news for current events.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The applicant host program! Everyone should do it. My host was great and she made the whole experience very low-stress and comfortable. Students seem really nice and NORMAL. The medical school building is very nice, and the library is nice. Admissions staff and director Michael Istwan are very nice, friendly, and approachable. They tell you whether you get in within two weeks or so.

What impressed you negatively?

I'm from a big city so I cannot really imagine myself in Milwaukee. But honestly, this school seems great for anyone from Wisconsin or anyone who doesn't really care for living in a big city.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview day is quite long. You get there at 8 AM if you stay with a host and it ends at 4:30 or so. It's a little tiring!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

My interviewer was the one who likes to ask about foreign policy - if you get him, don't stress out, just talk about the issues and how you feel about them! 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!
