How the MCW rate is worked out

The AAMC's FACTS Table A-1 lists, for every MD school in the US, how many applications it received and how many students enrolled. For the class that entered in fall 2025, Medical College of Wisconsin received 10,711 applications and enrolled 274 students. 274 divided by 10,711 is 2.6%.

A-1 does not count acceptances by school, so this is not the share of applicants offered a seat. That share is higher, because some admitted applicants choose another school.

In-state and out-of-state applicants

6.6% of applications to MCW came from Wisconsin residents, and 51.5% of the students who enrolled were Wisconsin residents. That is about 141 of roughly 707 in-state applicants (19.9%) and 133 of roughly 10,004 out-of-state applicants (1.3%).

Medical College of Wisconsin does not list a median or average MCAT or GPA for its entering class on its own website, as far as we could find. We do not estimate these.

What MCW says about its program

MCW has campuses in Milwaukee, Green Bay and Central Wisconsin, and offers both three-year and four-year programs. Source
The Central Wisconsin and Green Bay campuses have small classes made up mostly of Wisconsin residents, so spots for non-residents are limited. Source
For applicants who took the MCAT more than once, MCW mixes and matches the two most recent eligible exams into a best overall superscore. Source
