2009-2010 Mayo Medical School Application Thread

[bamtuba]

---

Members do not see this ad.

i think you guys are blowing this way out of proportion. TONS of other medical schools care about their students. they arent just about the $.

Not what I meant at all.

What I did mean was that they go out of their way to put their money where their mouth is (not that others wouldn't do the same given similar resources), but that they even start out with CHEAP tuition (compared to some places that don't really have to charge as much as they do).

As far as caring about students, I can only speak to the way I was treated at every stage of the process by people associated with the school. This is my personal opinion, and to be fair, I'm not just opining Mayo here. There was one other place that I got a similar vibe. Two out of twelve...

I asked every interviewer the question, "of what are you most proud" with regard to their school and/or associated hospital/clinic. The answer was always obvious before they spoke their first word, and they ALWAYS stated what I would have guessed from the pre-interview spiel. The places that I knew I would not fit well with said things like "our faculty" and "our curriculum" with no more detail added then that. The places that I felt most comfortable with said things like "our students" and "that everyone puts patients first, even the janitors" followed by examples.

There are places that people visit because of "rank" and "prestige," at least to check out for an interview, and that makes sense. And then there are places that continue to impress once the interview day is done for reasons that you never could have considered without going in person. That is what I mean. Mayo (and one other school) impressed me.

But we all have our opinions, and I don't see any problem with posting about mine regarding Mayo on the Mayo thread. Its not like I'm going on other school threads just to say "you suck and school X doesn't." Maybe next year someone will be perusing this year's postings and find something that will convince them to give it a shot. If people last year had not shared their insight regarding these very experiences, I never would have applied, and likely never known what the school has to offer. That is the value of SDN, at least for me, and I hope everyone who reads my "I love Mayo" posts will realize that, besides sharing my opinion, I am not knocking other schools for the sake of building myself up, nor am I convinced that no one else out there offers a great medical education.

For me, getting into ANY school is like having the cake. One only needs to get the cake to accomplish the goal of eating it. Getting a chance to go here, for me is like having the icing, with the cake being my favorite flavor, and oh, by the way, would you like some milk? Skim or regular, chocolate or plain? It helps to make eating that overwhelming cake just a little more enjoyable.

Mmmmm, cake...off to the kitchen for me!

Wait, what were you saying? Jk, this is a delicious way of describing it.

 

[Jolt21]

good stuff, mah dude. you go to the t-wolves game?
yo, so when you say 15 out of the 70/75 acceptances do you mean that they accept 70-75 kids before even counting the kids who come off the waitlist? meaning, 70-75 acceptances will go out by Jan and then the waitlist will be formed and then maybe an additional 10-20 kids might get off the waitlist as those initial 70-75 people start withdrawing their app and accepting other offers?

Couldn't even tell you. I assume 70-75 overall. 80-90 maybe be pushing it.

And no game for me. Maybe next time.

Yeah, I *think* I remember that they were going to accept 50-55ish by the end of this year, then the rest (15 or so) off the waitlist. I could be wrong, but I do think that the 70-75 number is TOTAL acceptances, including waitlist acceptances. If the class is only 42 MD students (which I think is what all these numbers refer to? or do they also apply to the 8 other spots in the class?) then I can't imagine them having to accept over 80 to fill that.

I agree, Mayo impressed me and continues to impress me as well. Out of curiosity, what was the other school that you refer to? We have a few schools in common so I'm wondering if it's one of those. Because a couple schools have impressed me as well, though Mayo really does treat its applicants well, I think. When I send them things through email, to Marcy or other people, they actually RESPOND, which is sadly pretty rare in this process.

Out of respect for all of the schools, and the students who will eventually attend them, I will keep that anonymous.

Case in point, see above: Marcy.

What other school thread can boast that MOST of the people know the contact people of the school BY NAME? And not just because you met them in person.

The Dean of admissions or an interviewer? Sure. But I would hazard to bet that this is one of friendliest admissions offices in the country. They seem to LOVE what they do, and it shows. Mayo is not the only friendly place, but one of few to do what they do with a great attitude and genuine enthusiasm...even under what must be considerable pressure from people like us.

Seriously drives me nuts. Is it that hard for them to press the reply button, and write "Thank you, we have received your message"? Takes probably 15 seconds, and they won't do it.

Unfortunately, I called one school and wrote an e-mail earlier this week to find out my status so that I could turn down other offers and narrow my list down to 3 schools that I would actually attend.

No response from either attempt. No answering of the phone. Not even a "hold your horses, we'll let you know soon enough." 🙁

And I'm trying to do the right thing and let people getting waitlisted have a change to know something before May!

I'm 99% sure about Mayo right now, but man, this brought it up to 99.3%...

 

[AyCaramba]

Fair enough. I will say, though, that sometimes I'm not sure it's completely justified to judge a school by its admissions procedures (not that anyone here is doing that). Remember that Mayo has some advantages which allows it to be more responsive than other schools:

Relatively small number of applicants compared to most schools
No secondary application
~20% applicants cut after only GPA/MCAT screen, only ~25% of applicants get personal statement/LORs reviewed (highly unusual)
Interview only 6-7% of applicants

Not saying that this is the ONLY reason why they can be so responsive, but I'm saying that some schools have WAY more to do/process with potentially the same or fewer members of the admissions committee/admissions staff (remember Marcy's not the only person in the office). I recognize that this was a conscious choice by Mayo to run things the way that they do, but other schools don't have that luxury. One place that I interviewed, Penn State, was really slow in getting things processed and getting back to people, but once I got there, the admissions office was extremely nice and very helpful. Mayo is pretty wealthy for a medical center, and that's great for students, but doesn't necessarily mean that other schools don't "care."

Agreed 100% 👍

Of course, these other places could figure out that they are struggling with these aspects and choose to streamline their system so that they can be more applicant friendly, but it sure is hard to change the system once things have been moving along in a single direction for so long...

Looks like you guys need to rename this to the "Rave for Mayo 2010" thread.

 

[bamtuba]

Looks like you guys need to rename this to the "Rave for Mayo 2010" thread.

Hmmmm. Interesting Idea.

Maybe every thread should have a "why I love X...." and a "why I hate X..." school thread.

That way everybody would be happy and feel like everyone agrees with them.

🙂

Now children, play nice. And eat some cake. If the world ate more cake, there would be less war. I am convinced of this truth.

[closebutnosagar]

Accepted!!! I'm at work and missed the call.

Interviewed less than two weeks ago.

Let me start off by saying congrats!

Now the question I have is I interviewed at Mayo on Sept 24th and I have yet to receive an email saying that my application has been reviewed by the admissions committee. I know that a few review dates have passed ( sept 30, oct 15, & oct 29). When I interviewed I remember them saying it would take approximately 2 weeks to look over our apps. I was just wondering how Sultan's app was reviewed before mine. Could it be that one of my interviewers wasnt there? Do you guys think I could call Mayo and ask ab my app?

It sounds like one of your interviewers was not available. However, as was mentioned a couple of posts earlier, the admissions staff at Mayo are SUPER friendly, so it is certainly worth contacting them directly to know for sure.

 

[archimedesxx]

This is how pathetic I am. I had a dream about being admitted to Mayo. I woke up immediately, did a couple of things and went back to sleep. I had another dream of being admitted. Two dreams in one ****ing night.😍. Most of stuff I dream about tend to happen in real life. Haha. Maybe I'm visionary? Let's see if 'appointment' to Mayo follows suit. Insanity my friends. Pure insanity. I'm gonna update you guys.

two in one night is pretty impressive, lol. i remember the time when I used to dream about Mayo... I don't have those dreams anymore, lol.

I had a couple of dreams like that, but not two in one night! In speaking from my personal experiences (ie being put on hold at Mayo), just be careful you don't get your hopes up too much. That can lead to some serious stress.

two in one night is pretty impressive, lol. i remember the time when I used to dream about Mayo... I don't have those dreams anymore, lol.

Yeah, my Mayo dreams have been reduced to 1 second day dreams where I them immediately snap back to reality that I am on hold, and even though I want nothing more than to get in off of the hold, it is counterproductive for me to think about it too much.

 

[bamtuba]

Well, I really like cake.

😕

I'm just glad people here are getting enough sleep because the alternative sucks even more.

guys.

 

[s2thindi]

Rejected an hour ago... only 12 days after LOR request...
First one.

I'm now extremely worried... were my letters bad?

 

[SirSpicious]

Don't be worried. You have a strong application (judging by mdapps) and you will get in somewhere. It's hard to get an invite from mayo, and, if you don't get one, it dosen't mean your letters are bad. You got to the lor stage, which means you have a solid application. Maybe if you had applied earlier, you'd have received an interview offer. There were very few dates left (maybe 2 or three).

Hey Bamtuba,

I have been reading a lot of your quotes and I'm very intrigued by how much you are in love with Mayo. I GOT AN INTERVIEW INVITE LAST WEEK THURSDAY..... I hope can really get to see you someday at Mayo.....You are quite interesting....I must say (...in a good way).

Well, all I can tell you are my personal experiences from dealing with the schools that I had the fortune to see, and that after going to Mayo I was hooked.

This place, for me, is just a PERFECT fit for many reasons, but I guess I've eschewed enough Mayo for one thread. 😉

Good luck at the interview!

Oh, and try to spend some time roaming around the area before and after the interview. You'll be glad you did. 👍

 

[bamtuba]

So I want to ask a question, but with a disclaimer: I am REALLY not worried about this for myself, but merely curious.

Please don't think I'm not happy with MY current situation. I am.

So, did anybody actually get a full tuition scholarship yet? Do they even consider who gets these this early or do they consider everyone for it later on?

The reason I ask is that I spoke to the financial aid guru today about the need based aid, and he basically said that Mayo is pretty slow about the aid due to the small class size, but that a scholarship offer is made early to let people know they will be getting something.

Anyone get that scholarship yet, or are we all considered for it later in the season?

I think as a punishment for being so lucky to be accepted without being put on hold, you are stuck with a half tuition scholarship! Mwa-hahaha!!!

Actually, I have no freaking clue, but if any of you would give me your acceptance to Mayo I will gladly ask for you!

Nerday, does "Carnegie Hall" ring a bell? I think I met you at UConn and your jokes are hilarious. Just so everybody here knows, Nerday Shortay is the ish and she has done pretty impressive things and if I happen to be her classmate, i wouldn't regret it. Hehe.

I'm in the same situation. As others have said, I don't think it's something to stress about--if both interviewers are not present for an adcom meeting, we just get rolled back to the next session.

One thing I am learning very quickly about this process is not to read into everything. As much as SDN can be an incredible resource, it can also be a tremendous catalyst to neuroticism.

With a vast majority of my interviews done, I'm spending a lot less time on SDN. I've done my best up to this point. Now, it's time to sit back and let the chips fall where they may.

I am waiting to hear from Mayo. I had my interview two weeks ago. I was floored. I just hope I get in. I might have to cancel my interview at Hahvahd.lol ( that is if I get into Mayo).hehe

 

[bamtuba]

Sounds like it will be one heck of an interesting mix of classmates come July 👍

Looking forward to meeting all of you.

🙂

 

[Nerday Shortay]

I was told that even though there isn't an official one, a lot of the acceptees get together and create an unofficial one. I'm wondering if we could plan something and then ask Marcy to email out those who are holding acceptances...

Would any of you be opposed to my making a facebook group for accepted Mayo students (does everybody have facebook?) so that we can share information about revisiting, housing, etc? I think it might be useful, and a little bit more organized than posting to the general SDN threads. Let me know, and I can take a short break from the debauchery of senior year to do something productive (even though that will fundamentally insult my senior slide - I am selfless, and willing to do this 😉 ).

[lrkoehle]

Not sure if you all care, but my mother sent me the following article:
http://www.darkdaily.com/large-medical-groups-are-best-positioned-to-provide-integrated-care-113

It lists Mayo as the 10th largest doctor group in the country, which is quite impressive considering the small city it is based out of. This is mostly only relevant to those who get accepted here 🙂xf: hopefully me one of these days soon!), but I thought some of you might be interested.

I haven't said it for awhile, but good luck to all of us still waiting to get off the hold list!

Yes to Facebook 👍

I hate myself for even thinking about this, but I can't help it. I was wondering when the next adcom meeting will be. Does anybody know?

If they have in fact been meeting every other Thursday since the 24th of September, then they should be meeting today. However, they did accept people just last week (albeit on a Wednesday), so I don't know if they are going to meet this week. Like I said, I hate myself for wondering about this (ok, not really), but I couldn't help myself...😳

Yeah, I guess you're right. I hadn't thought of that, since as you said, they just gave out acceptances last week. I'm really not sure of what the relationship between the committee meetings and acceptances are. The committee will rank people, but I'm not sure that the actual decisions will necessarily be made on that day, since I don't think the entire committee is involved in that. They might try to spread acceptances out a bit rather than give them every week, but who knows, maybe people will hear something in the next couple days. So far they have kind of had an irregular schedule. Personally, I'm really trying to forget that Mayo even exists right now, but every time my phone rings, my mind immediately turns to Marcy...

I thought Phoenix said roughly every two weeks decisions (ie acceptances) were going to be made and go out. It sounds right that they wouldn't make decisions all together at the main committee meeting. Let's see, since this is SDN I am going to go all out with the over analyzing (what else am I going to do, my school work?). Assuming they are planning on giving out decisions every two weeks maybe this is what happened. The first time decisions went out, Phoenix said they were delayed. Maybe they made the decisions October 14th, so they could plan on making calls the 15th (the first day possible). Then they got too busy and calls went out the next week. Two weeks after the first decisions, Oct. 28th, the next set of decisions went out. Based on all this, the next set of decisions should go out next Wednesday the 11th of November. Wow, I feel ridiculous for even typing that out. Whatever, it doesn't matter that much, and I actually should probably do some school work.

Has there been two rounds of hold statuses or just two rounds of acceptances?

All very plausible, imo. We'll know when we know, I suppose. I wonder if Marcy ever reads this board just for laughs...

 

[vtche02]

I chuckled to myself wondering if Marcy's husband ever read this forum and got jealous. hehe

 

[OMSTR]

i have tried to put mayo out of my mind too, and I'm proud to say it has been working. however, i can't lie, there are times when my phone rings and I pray that the caller id reads 507-------. 🙁 anyways, i do kind of have a feeling that more calls will be going out early next week.

 

[lrkoehle]

I hope she does. At least then some one can be getting joy out of this whole process (not counting the people who already have an acceptance to Mayo).

She is a very popular lady on here...

I got a call earlier from a 571-xxx-xxxx number, and I thought maybe I miss remembered Mayo's area code. Never mind the fact that this was at about 8 p.m. central time...it turned out to be a survey from Bank of America.

I wonder if next year's MMS applicants won't get to meet Marcy since she could be on maternity leave...
