Hey guys
How long after amcas submission did you have to wait until your payment request came? I'm pushing 3 and a half weeks. I feel like they should at least let me pay them 🙂

I am verified and have gotten secondaries from other schools. I assumed I was a shoe-in to at least pay their fee.
Hopefully it's still coming. Applied 6/25

everyone gets a payment request
No. Everyone above a LizzyM of 1 gets a fee request.
Not according to several sources. Mayo has a (low) screen.
No, not everyone gets the fee request. It's a minimum screen.
This was stated multiple times on the first page of last year's thread, and corroborated by someone at Mayo when he asked the Admissions office.
Please look if you do not believe me.
My mistake then, I thought that screen was in reference to the LOR Request (ie. you needed that MCAT/GPA combination to get an LOR request)
No harm done 🙂
It's fine - it's a very minor point, a very low screen that weeds out relatively few candidates, and likely not the reason why people have not yet received fee requests.
I'm very curious about how many applications they've received so far. I bet that's why they're a bit behind now, especially considering that they started a little early.

how do they screen to see who gets LOR? i think i remember reading the personal statement isnt even read until after
ECs, maybe Meaningful Experiences, but you are correct. They do not read the PS until they request the LORs.
Do they also screen to see who gets a LOR received email?
No idea, but I doubt it. GPA/MCAT might factor into who gets a LOR request, but from what I've gathered, it's mainly ECs.
anyone get the "complete" mail yet?
i have not and i got the LOR request the first day it was sent out (and letters have been assigned in AMCAS from the get-go)
same here
I don't want to alarm you guys, but...
I just felt a great disturbance in the force...
As if...hundreds of LOR received confirmations were just sent out and set to arrive in our inbox sometime today...
But what do I know, I'm just some old hermit living in the sand dunes

Got the rejection letter today : / Never got a LOR request which I feel is mainly on EC's since I had a high MCAT and high GPA. Good luck to the rest of you though! Hopefully my California schools will show me some love!
Sorry to hear the news...when was your fee received ??
i'm out. i think i'm the opposite. my grades were bad but good EC's. not that surprised.
Another one on the not-Mayo train! Reverse situation of the guy above me, not surprised either.
received rejection today. i dont even know why i applied to this low ranked p.o.s. with my high scores

Unless you wish to come across as having done no research on Mayo, their admissions practices, or the biased ranking system used by USNWR, I suggest you control your comments. With that attitude I guess I'm glad they didn't give you time of day. I'm sure it shined through your application.
You do realize that as a doctor you would be dealing with and helping human beings. Is this something you're interested in?
Sorry about the news y'all. Are the decisions coming in by snail mail or email, by the way?
Sour grapes, much? 🙄
Wisco! I'm glad some Mayo students (or at least one) are dropping by this year. Last year there were several frequent posters who gave wonderful insights - I hope you and all of them are doing well.
lol...ok now don't feel so bad. That's pretty harsh.

The Force is strong with this one, except that they were rejections, not complete emails.
Don't bother, this kid is one of the biggest trolls (intentional or not) on SDN
That's crazy! Impossible to know what they are looking for 😕
Yeah.. wow. Cheers for somewhere else.
😱 Did you happen to write "i'd never go to mayo, ever" in your PS? Because if not, that's crazy!
I'm hoping that your personal statement was just a long string of profanities.
Were all of these rejections pre-LOR request?
I'm interested in knowing this as well.
I thought they didn't read the PS before sending out LOR requests?
