Nah, it wasn't so bad - they were one of six that couldn't figure it out. I had an atypical for an atypical juvenile melanoma - NYU eventually found it in an obscure reference book.

But yes, I shall definitely not mention it to Mayo. To NYU, though, maybe.

Update

Quote Nick Naylor Last years thread
"Hey guys! I'm currently on the shuttle back to MSP from Rochester and thought I'd pass along some info that might be useful. My apologies if anything has been said before.

As far as the interview day goes, you'll have two interviews of 30 minutes; both will be with members of the admissions committee. There's also some "explore Mayo time" which is essentially free time, and everyone had about ~1.5 hours of this over the course of the day. Everyone seemed to agree that the interviews were VERY relaxed. Everyone's interviews were done at 2:30, and the last 30 minutes was a quick talk by the chair of the admissions committee (I left early to catch the shuttle, so if you're worried about transportation issues, just let the staff know).

For those of you that have interviewed, they shared some info that might be of use to you. They've sent out ~15 acceptances thus far; decisions go out biweekly, but the committee meets to review and rank people weekly. If you've interviewed and haven't been ranked, it's more than likely due to one of your interviewers being absent at the committee meeting. They won't discuss/rank you if one of your interviewers is absent. As far as the rest of the season goes, they're planning on sending out ~50 acceptances by the start of the new year. After that, all acceptances will be to replace those that withdraw (i.e., when one person withdraws, another acceptance will go out to replace that person). Marcy said they expect to send out ~75 acceptances total from the ~300 people that interview. As far as other numbers go, they received ~4200 applications and requested LORs from ~1600 applicants.

As far as my opinions/suggestions, I would DEFINITELY try and stay a couple of days and hang out with the students if at all possible and explore as much of Rochester as possible. That's really what sold me - Nerday and SortaBigDeal are incredible, so definitely try and meet them if you can (didn't get a chance to meet bamtuba). The insight from students is extremely valuable, and a lot of the stuff I talked about with them wasn't mentioned on the interview day."

So it looks like we vastly underestimated the number of LOR requests that go out

Member 403661 · 07-12-2011, 06:31 AM

^ So then last year ~40% of applicants got LOR request. Still pretty good news...

Member 325215 · 07-12-2011, 11:24 AM

Good news, but that makes the interviews even more precious.

Great repost!

Dang! Your numbers are plenty good enough to get in somewhere else, FWIW, and unless you only applied to Mayo and the Canadian schools it's sure to be somewhere warmer.

i guess welcome to the process, huh? it seems like trying to understand the patterns just results in fail... definitely worried now though

Member 281562 · 07-13-2011, 02:48 PM

To clarify: I was rejected Pre-LOR. My MCAT score is unbalanced, though(14,12,9,M

) Not feeling too bad since Mayo was not one of my top choices anyway. Best of luck to the rest of you

Member 325215 · 07-13-2011, 03:06 PM

From what I understand, Mayo cares less about a balanced MCAT and more about ECs.

Good luck - that's an interesting MCAT, but I'm sure you'll get in.

Member 375258 · 07-13-2011, 03:06 PM

Also rejected 37M 3.9....maybe im not quite as well rounded an applicant as i thought i was...

I had a 9 in verbal and got the LOR request last year and this year, so I don't think they have any hard cut-offs

to all those who got rejected today

come on mayo

Member 289423 · 07-15-2011, 04:46 AM

so if i haven't gotten a LOR request and i turned in my fee like 3 weeks ago does that mean i'm pretty much out?

Member 325215 · 07-15-2011, 04:49 AM

Can't stand to see Mayo on the second page, AzDoc?

I agree - still waiting for my LOR received email. It's been two weeks now, so hopefully it should come any day.

No, citrusguy, it doesn't mean anything other than they've received a lot more applications this year. With Mayo, no news is good news. They won't leave you in the dark.

Member 401691 · 07-15-2011, 06:40 AM

You guys are not without hope. On last year's thread, there were several people who had to wait about two weeks (for some unknown reason) for LOR requests, and a few of them went on to get interview invitations. I suspect, with this year being ranked on USNEWS rankings, they're getting even more applications. The complete emails are also coming later.

We just need to take a breath. We're on Mayo time.

Member 358659 · 07-15-2011, 09:40 PM

Do we expect a complete email on a night like this????? Maybe sometime soon?

AGGG I just want interviews to come out so I know whether to stop dreaming

Member 332906 · 07-15-2011, 09:49 PM

For the record, last year I received the complete e-mail in the afternoon at 4:00pm

Member 271092 · 07-16-2011, 05:55 AM

So I'm still not sure about this...can Mayo access my letters even if I haven't assigned them to Mayo?

Mayo will get your letters only if you assign them to the school. Logic.
