The Applicant Host Program is an alumni sponsored student group that meets with applicants at casual get-togethers on Thursday evenings prior to interviews on Friday. The event provides the applicant an opportunity to learn about life as a medical student, from medical students at the College. The get-togethers include a power point presentation, a Q & A panel, and of course snacks.
Current students also host some of the applicants for an overnight stay on Thursday night. Additionally, the Program makes available a shuttle service, at a minimal fee to the applicant, from the airport to the College on Thursday evening. There are a limited number of spaces for those wishing to stay with a current student or take the airport shuttle. These spaces are reserved on a first come first serve basis.
Specific information regarding the Applicant Host Program is forwarded with the invitation to interview. Arrangements to participate in any or all portions of the Program are made through the Office of Admissions when an applicant makes a reservation for their interviews.
"I interviewed at a number schools, and I'm convinced that it was only to reassure me of why I loved MCW the most. I took advantage of the applicant host program when I was interviewing at MCW. It was a great opportunity to meet some students and get a first hand view of what class and your classmates will be like. I can say without a doubt that I have made one of the best decisions when I chose to come here."
