I almost wish I didn't know invites might go out this week, with a good chance of being tonight. I'm trying to create distractions by throwing myself into work today . . .
Did anyone recieve LOR confirmation emails yet?

Especially when people complete later than you have received invitations... including at your IS school known for favoring IS. I have noticed that many of the people receiving invites have higher stats (MCAT 36+), but not all of them. This entire process is frustrating, but I suppose we're learning valuable lessons in patience, even if they're a bit bitter to swallow.
is it sad I want mayo to have more thread replies than Case Western?
That's what makes me feel even more scurred. My MCAT is higher than the average at most schools, so if that determines the order of review, I'm already screwed. My GPA isn't great, but I didn't think it would hold me back. Maybe my biceps are too big?
What schools are y'all refering, I may be in the same boat...It's just hard for me to keep up with all the schools I applied to

For me, UVA, Vandy, Georgetown. At least I finally got the Harvard secondary, because that was late for me too.
I'm with you, Snuke. UVA kind of hurt yesterday (didn't apply to Vandy, still on the secondary for GT).
maybe they're intimidated by your (apparently large) biceps?
Uh, no. It's been my secret goal to make this thread the longest. We're sometimes on target, after all. Really, this Mayo thread is more about creating a half-neurotic/half-relaxing atmosphere. It's healthy, so long as every post can somewhat relate to Mayo, we're good.
I hate to be neurotic, but I was complete ASAP, by 7/4. Most of the people who've received them have higher stats, but not by much and not all of them. I'll give it another week before I get too worried, but this was the one I was counting on.
Yes, my biceps are massive. As proof, I curled some 10 pounders earlier today. Completed 4 reps. I'll be sore tomorrow, but it'll be worth it.
If you don't get accepted with your academics and ECs, I'm screwed.
Thanks! To be honest, I'd trade my best EC for your MCAT, but you play with the cards you're dealt. Darn PS section.
I'll trade 3 PS points for your skills with the french horn.

I'll trade my lunch for an acceptance!
BTW, how close are you to winning your bet?
I just visited and refreshed a few times 👍Not close at all. I'm still under 3000 views!

Since I saw your sig, I try to look at it a few times a day. What do you get if you win?
Just your lunch? That's a raw deal for the school, unless it's a super-awesome-special lunch, like the $1000 sundae from the restaurant in NYC.
As for your question, I say 40/60 tonight/tomorrow night. And a few rejections.
You two are the best! I manage a team of 15 people for my company, and they are all gonna throw me a pot-luck if I hit it. If I don't, I have to buy the team pizza. They don't know my Student Doctor screen-name (I hope!), so they don't know my trickery.
Before your first interview? Or interview invite? (And I'll trade you my horn for your work experience!)
And yes, refreshing does work. We'll get you there!
I'll send you some food from the pot-luck! And it's before my first interview, so I'll just delay my interview date if I haven't hit it. Just kidding.
I have no interest in applying to Mayo (and I'm more than certain Mayo returns this sentiment)... but I totally admit to trolling this thread for entertainment value.
That is the greatest compliment this thread could receive.
i don't know a lot of music vids, but i'm always ready to post izzard.
BAHAHA I thought somone was going to get mad about the TROLLLLLL, but not in the Mayo thread
Haha. It wasn't intended as an insult. Quite the opposite, in fact. I've been oddly drawn into this thread's daily search for interview invites. The 2am email checks are impressively dedicated. But, like I said, I have no vested interest in Mayo. I'm solely here for the hikus and videos 😀
+1you meant lurking, which is completely acceptable. 👍 You're also right that it's nearly time for more haikus! And i will keep my word that if i get an invite, i'm totally composing a sonnet.
I admit, i no longer wait up until 2:33am, but i do keep my cell phone by my bed set at a ridiculous volume to make sure that when i get that email, i'll wake up to post about it. am i the only one that, the first thing in the morning, checks the mayo thread to see that i haven't missed out on invites?
Always appropriate! I shall respond with some Jeff Dunham (not quite so sophisticated, I'm afraid). I hope everyone has seen this.

well there went 10 minutes.
ok i'm really going to write some essays now...
Great minds think a like, hopefully this means our mayo fates are linked(to acceptances)
MY COMPANY STARTED BLOCKING YOUTUBE VIDEOS!! I just died inside.
This is very sad news. Perhaps we should entertain you with haikus instead?
Most definitely
Oh man guys. You have me so excited with your "the emails go out tonight" speculations that I have spent the last hour and a half just reading the mayo website, watching their video, and falling just a little bit more in love. I don't have the time to spend hours reading the website!!! So worth it though.
Sitting at my comp,
refreshing altogether
too much, I am bored.
Twiddle my thumbs and
refresh Leoger's profile.
He will win the bet.
Mayo catches up
to Case. Just a few more posts
to be number one.
Where are my Mayo
buddies? No you do not need
food. Nor work, neither.
Everyone come out
and entertain me. I need
videos and pics.
Neuroticism
is not yet rampant enough.
We can all fix that.
That was great! Think you can find a red chemistry cat? Then it'll fit my username's mnemonic.
