MCAT and GPA figures are labeled median or mean when the school's own published class profile confirms them, and “unconfirmed” when it has not yet been checked — the school's page cites the source. In-state preference tags are NextGen MedPrep's rating, not school policy, unless marked “published policy”.

Residents vs out-of-state applicants in Wisconsin
Of the 2 MD programs in Wisconsin in our catalog, 1 is rated as giving strong preference to Wisconsin residents. The table shows admissions figures only where they were confirmed on the school's own published pages (1 of 2); the rest are left blank rather than estimated, and any unconfirmed figure on a card above is labeled as such.
| Program | In-state preference | In-state share of class | MCAT | GPA | Class size | Data check |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

The in-state preference column is NextGen MedPrep's rating from each school's matriculation pattern and admissions guidance, not a school policy, except where a row says “published policy”. A dash means the school has not published that figure in a form we could confirm. Sources for every confirmed figure are linked on the program's profile.
