koalalover1 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) So I'm sure this is also an old forum, but I figured starting a new one would be good. I've seen forums for other regions, but just thought I'd start one for people applying in the Midwest! My signature has where I'm applying, but all eight of my schools are in the Midwest. Trying to see if anybody has similar schools to me! How is the process going for you guys? I'm still waiting to hear from Bowling Green, Illinois State, Michigan State, UW Milwaukee, and UW Whitewater!

DeWi Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Since I also applied mainly to MW schools, I'm piggybacking a question on this...I'm not from the Midwest, so my knowledge is limited. Does anyone know how concerned schools are about the lack of a budget in Illinois and the budget cuts to public universities in Wisconsin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely was not my top choice anyways, so that's okay with me! Just hoping to hear from the rest soon.

I did my undergrad at Point and I know that the school did everything it could to spread out tee cuts to help make sure one department didn't take too big of a hit. The schools don't agree with these cuts but there is nothing they can do about it. DeWi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course schools can be subject to political nonsense at times, but I'm glad to hear at least one WI school is handling it just fine. Thanks!

EddieRue Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) I only applied to three schools, as recommended by my advisor. I haven't heard back from any of them yet, but judging from a quick results search it looks like no one else has either. I'm cautiously optimistic about my chances at this point.

slpdee Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I got in to SIUE! It's the first school I've heard back from, but I'm pretty excited! It's one of my top choices and being out of state, I didn't think I had a chance. Hk400, koalalover1 and auruten 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how concerned schools are about the lack of a budget in Illinois and the budget cuts to public universities in Wisconsin? I can't speak for Illinois, but I just got back from UW Madison's Open House and it seems like their department really took a hit from it all... they barely have any funding/scholarships for students, which is normal to an extent, but usually you hear of at least one or two students getting 100% or 50%... even 25% tuition remissions.

auruten Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 People have been hearing back from NIU and I am freaking out because it is one of my top 3 schools and I haven't heard anything yet. Is this bad news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy for whoever all got in, but I really hope to hear good news in April about some openings! I am from UW Whitewater, and also I feel like what you said is pretty similar to here.

I really enjoyed my time at Point. There is some pretty great faculty and the clinic is really well managed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
