Congrats on the acceptance! 🙂

Also, to those withdrawing, :luck: wherever you end up!
 
Got the call from Marcy yesterday around 3:30! I'm going to Mayo!
 
BIG congrats to those of you who got accepted recently!!! 👍

As a fellow wait-lister very eager to get good news from Mayo, I'm wondering if you sent any updates/letters of intent recently? I've sent two already (though they were both ~3-5 months ago) and I don't know whether I should send another given the time frame and the fact that I don't want to be annoying.

Thanks! I actually did send a LOI this past Monday reiterating my interest so it was pretty crazy to get accepted a few days later. My first paragraph basically said "If you accept me, I'll definitely go". This was the first LOI I sent them (first LOI I sent the entire cycle, actually).

Given it has been 3 months, I don't think it would be annoying. I imagine they want to take only alternates who would accept their offer and an LOI stating just that could be helpful. Also, I read somewhere that someone sent FIVE LOI's, starting from when she first submitted her primary app (I think she sent the first one after she didn't get an interview). As I recall, when she was finally accepted months later the dean told her they liked her "persistance." Anyways, best of luck to you and I hope you get in too!
 
Welcome to the newbies! I think most of you have found the facebook group, but in case you didn't, just search "Mayo Class of 2014" on facebook and you should find it. There is all sorts of info in there on housing, etc. Looking forward to meeting you all this summer 😳)

Congrats to the newest people coming to Mayo and the class of 2013 looks forward to being your med sibs! Enjoy your summers and get ready for a great year!

Best of luck to the people heading other places. I hope you find success and that I will get a chance to see you down the road.

Congrats!

(and I hope the second comment is a good thing.😳)

Will we see you in July?
 
Yeah I pay $800/month for a three bdrm house (all to myself) that is a ten minute walk from campus. I pay utilities in addition to that, but it's still a good price.

You definitely won't need the full CoA unless you have kids or are supporting a significant other with no income. If you want to live cheaply, you could definitely find a no-frills place downtown for <$500/mo, utilities included.

WCS, I sent in an LOI in December. I was actually contemplating sending another one when they called. I would say go ahead and send yours in. It can't hurt. 🙂
 
Word on the street is quite a few people withdrew on Friday....so I would imagine some more people will be getting some good news this week! Good luck to everyone still waiting.

I cannot believe it, I just got the Acceptance call from Marcy today!
I am going to Mayo!😀
 
Just got the call...sooooooo excited..had my heart set on another amazing school (Emory!)..but mayo was sooo impressive this is going to be a really hard decision...i have 1 week to decide!! ahhhh!!

what am I going to do?? help me!

will probably come down to financial aid..how were the financial aid packets for those already accepted?? Emory is giving me $30,000 in grants which may be hard to beat..

Mayo was definitely one of my top choices coming in..but my ONLY reservation was rochester..it was -10 degrees when I interviewed...how is everyone gearing up to prevent depression??

First, congrats!

Second, join the FB group so you can get some info!

Third, the packages are great. Call Mr. Dahlen and go from there. Mine leaves VERY little to be desired, and when you consider that they continue paying for many incidentals once you are there, it can add up quickly!

Otherwise, I interviewed in September and the place was gorgeous. Maybe why I loved it sooooo much.

Anyhow, :luck: with the decision!
 
Must be in a dream, because I just got the call from Marcy too!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Everyone and their mother are getting accepted to Mayo this cycle, it seems. lmao.

Yeah I think there is a decent amount of waitlist movement because Mayo didn't over accept too many people to begin with this cycle
 
Congrats to all those just accepted:clap: Good luck with your decisions!
 
Hey all! I was accepted on 5/17 as well and will definitely be attending. So excited - see you there!

There is nothing quite like an intense Minnesota winter to build one's character and to fortify one's spirit! Yes, character is forged in the frozen wastelands of the North and not in the lush indolence of the tropics, or even the South.

The winters suck, but you'll love spring, summer and fall soooo much more after! Also hand warmers are the best invention and get me through my winters. You'll be inside pretty much all the time since the buildings are all connected which is really nice, since at my undergrad I had to walk outside in the frozen tundra to get to all my classes.
 
Yanked off the waitlist yesterday. Super hard decision time.... 🙁

Congrats man. Come to Mayo! Not sure if they already told you, but everyone gets a full-tuition scholarship the first year. And a free laptop.
 
To clarify for future applicants, Mayo does not normally give out full rides anymore, but as many of us predicted they did come through this year (once again!) with a note letting us know that a "generous benefactor" has given enough that all currently matriculating (ie. class of 2014) students will receive the first year TUITION FREE! 😀

2nd, 3rd, and 4th year will be the amount previously awarded (which I can assure you, is amazing enough), assuming there aren't any other "generous benefactors..."

I love Mayo.

😍
 
As an update, EVERY CURRENT STUDENT is getting a full ride for next year.

200 students going for free tuition.

That's 6.52 MILLION that the school (through donors) is giving the students next year.

👍

Must've been some stingy jerk. If I could give him/her a piece of my mind...
