my rejection was pre-LOR request. Likely because of extracurriculars. Training 20+ hrs per week and traveling almost every weekend for competitions didn't do me any favors time-wise. But I did my best with what free time I had so no regrets.
I thought they didn't read the PS before sending out LOR requests?
Those were jokes about how with those other strong qualifications, what could have possibly caused his rejection.
But by the sound of his post^ as well as others, it's ECs that heavily factor into LOR requests.
I can confirm this as I had a quick chat with a member from the admissions staff asking about this. They do indeed look at your ECs and based on that decide whether or not to issue you a LOR request
I think a lot of it is just pure luck too, don't take it personally.
I received a LOR request last week. MD Apps for my stats. After reading this thread I'm surprised I received one. Good luck to everybody!
hmm does mayo send an email saying they got the LOR after they request it? My LOR is already in AMCAS and I haven't heard of any updates.
I'm hoping that your personal statement was just a long string of profanities.
this cracked me up. i'm gettin more nervous as time goes on with no LOR request... we shall see, ah reckon. people with sweet apps who got rejected: keep going, because your season is going to turn out great anyway!
looks like the autoconfirmation of payment was july9, and the actual mayo confirmation email of it was july11. i'm not totally wiggin out yet or anything, just being a little neurotic watching hundreds of engines rev then take off at a starting line with 50,000 other people. even though we're not all going the same place it raises my heart rate to not GOGOGO when lots of other people have left the gate 🙂

Got asked for pre-req confirmation today...
You know what would be beautiful. If they can skip the LOR received email and go right ahead and pull the trigger (interview invites and rejections).👍

Maybe they are not sending out LOR received emails this year... who knows. I feel like if they were going to send them out they would have done so already, right? It's been about three weeks since they sent out the first LOR requests. If I remember correctly the turnaround between the LOR requests and LOR received emails wasn't this long last year...
Someone else got asked that earlier, but I know I did not. I assume that's done if there's a question - do you have all of your pre-reqs completed?
I cannot fathom how amazing you are <3![]()
Loneliness plagues me<3![]()
Obsolete is my life without you <3![]()
Vulnerable like a child I lay in the arms of fate <3![]()
Every breath feels a ton when I think about you <3
Understand me, and please give me a chance<3![]()
Mayo, I LOVE YOU <3

All I hear in my head is "less than 3" at the end of each line.

That's actually the first love poem I wrote to my very first girlfriend...boy was I a hopeless romantic back then...
... Please tell me that didn't actually work.😉

i have no idea how the pile gets sorted once you pay - if they go in order i guess it could be a bit. if they prioritize based on any number of mystery factors, maybe not.
my understanding for the LORs though is that they will send you the email saying "we request your LORs now" but you don't have to do anything if the letters are ready to go with AMCAS - they'll pull them after notifying you.
This has to have been somewhat recent. Somehow, I got the picture of a little kid in grade school passing notes, but the vocabulary would have been rather impressive. Congrats on your engagement!
An update from Mayo admissions: The first interview invites will be going out next week. Best of luck to all who have their LOR's in already 😉

Exciting...I would also assumes this means that there probably isn't a "complete e-mail" being sent this year.
