Does Mayo only send interview invites out on Friday nights/Saturday early mornings?
Or will they be sent out pretty much any night of the week?

Seems to me like there have been quite a few on the weekends, but I looked back today and there have been some on Tuesday and Wednesday too. So I am just planning to hold my breath all week.

Asyouwereatrio, you're freakin' awesome. You constant words of encouragement are much appreciated, since I haven't heard back from Mayonnaise since 16/07 when they asked for my fee. No LOR request either 🙁
ALL!

Haha you're very welcome! That's what I believe in...encouraging others when they're in need. Positive impact on other's lives...this is what medicine is all about.
Other than slicing and dicing "with a deli slicer" or being "pimple popper, MD"
I hope someone gets reference.
Secondary Received: 7/15
Secondary Submitted: 7/16
Rejected pre-letter request: 8/10
I'm kinda bummed, thought I would at least get a letter request. have a 37/4.0 stat wise. Since this is my only response from a school so far makes me kind of nervous that maybe there's something wrong with my app that I didn't think of and unfortunately they say in their e-mail they won't respond to questions until after may 15th =/ Hopefully I'll have better luck elsewhere. good luck to everyone else!

Hey ABe, don't fret about Mayo's rejection. As you look through the thread, a lot of people with your stats are rejected by mayo. They have a very unique "set of qualities" they look for. With your scores, you'll definitely get in somewhere!
Seriously, look through the thread..it'll definitely calm your nerves. A mayo rejection is nothing to worry about! 🙂
Waiting for LOR request

holy crap dude!😱
you'll def. get in somewhere.
I'm still waiting to hear something from them... they received my letters on 7/23 (or 24, not sure)... still no word
How long did it take for your letters to get received? Mine were transmitted last week but I still haven't heard anything.
My LOR request was 7/24 and they received my letters 8/3. So about a week and a half for me 🙂

Great, thanks.
At a glance it seems like they download letters on a specific day every two weeks or so, and then spend around a day processing them? So after your letter request, it could be anything from a day to two weeks before they officially "receive" them.
It was right around a week and a half for me.

Good luck everywhere else!
Your application dates look like mine, so I am probably waiting for a rejection soon enough!..Maybe even tonight?!
Ugh. It seems like there have been about 5 people on this page who have been rejected almost exactly a month after their letters were received. One of the downfalls of SDN is constantly trying to identify patterns 🙁. My LOR were received on 7/15, so I am worried the bell will toll for me this weekend.
No man is a rejection island, entirely rejected by himself, every man is a piece of the rejection system a part of the rejected whole. If a clod is washed out by the system, the system is clodless, as much as if a mountain of rejects were lost. Therefore post not to ask for whom the rejection comes, it cometh for thee.
hilarious.

🙁 would you mind sharing when you were complete? Pre-interview or pre-LOR?
to you on the rest of your apps!
Anyone here go to Mayo now or know anything about whether or not student hosts are offered? Previous years' posts indicate they might be. I'm planning to fly over the weekend before the interview and would love to meet up with anyone willing to spare a few hours talking about the school. I didn't see much on the interview confirmation website other than a link to the "visiting Mayo" part of the clinic's main website--so not sure if any additional instructions are coming.
Good luck to everyone!
Good luck to everyone!
Tell me I'm complete, damnit!
I emailed them and they said they would send us a separate email about student hosts soon. I just went ahead and booked a hotel just in case though.
What are qualities is mayo looking for? I keep reading they look for stuff outside numbesr?
Just got rejected from mayo pre-interview:
complete 13 July
complete 13 July
Sorry to hear that. Keep your head up! You have a great attitude and it'll show through when it counts.
Hey everyone. Mayo does offer student housing and we are more than excited to host you. After your initial interview request, you will get a follow up letter with an e-mail address that you can e-mail if you are interested in having a student host. Hope that helps and hang in there!
And there isn't a robot that reviews applications at Mayo, they are actual human beings and they do a great job trying to get a class that works well together and brings a lot of different perspectives. Hang in there!
Hey everyone,
Is it possible to catch a 6:15PM flight leaving from Rochester (RST) after the interview?
Thanks!

I can pretty much give you a 95% yes. I would call the admissions office just to be sure.
Can I ask you what day and airline you are flying? The latest flight out of RST I found on my interview day was 3:15PM.
Thanks pharaoh. I called admissions but nobody answered so I left a message. According to google, it takes 17 minutes to get from Mayo to RST. Since it's a small airport I think it would be okay, esp with no checked bags.
To the guy asking about the flights out at night, this is a flight that leaves from RST straight to my home city which happens to be a hub for the airline so that might be why you can't find a flight.
Thanks for your help!

Just got a complete email. My letters were in about two weeks ago.
Was your complete email that they received your LOR and are reviewing? Or did they specifically say that your file is complete?
Stay strong - I was getting worried since in the past people were getting complete relatively quickly. I guess they're just running behind
Here's the e-mail I received:
Dear Mayo Medical School Applicant,
Thank you for your continued interest in Mayo Medical School and for your patience with the application process. Your letters of reference have been received and attached to your AMCAS file. Your application is in review and you will be notified as soon as the review is completed.
Sincerely,
Marcy Landswerk

I received the same email this morning and had my letters requested almost two weeks ago. Hurrah for moving onward!
