What do you like most?

Course directors are extremely supportive, as is most of administration. There are lots of people to help you if you seek it out. Early clinical exposure. Tons of opportunities for shadowing and research.

What do you like least?

With the new curriculum I think this will be addressed, but pre-clinical coursework, in my experience, was left far too much to be what the instructor thinks is important, rather than USMLE.

Any other information you want to share?

LOTS of legacy admits and an overwhelming amount of admits are the children of MCW physicians/surgeons. In general, most students have at least one doctor parent. Many many students have parents who went here, and quite a few people in administration also have kids going here... They advertise it at the white coat ceremony too. I feel very unsupported and unwelcome as a first-gen student here. All first-gen programming is geared toward students who have parents who went to college, just not med school. If you are in the minority of being a true first-gen student, you will be forgotten about and treated as less than. MCW does not do a great job at recognizing intersectionality and recruiting physicians from less prestigious and privileged backgrounds.
