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
Yes. Instead, you should want the mayo thread to have more concentrated substance than the case thread, which should be easy.
Your cGPA is competitive, and your sGPA is pretty beast. It's probably not that; maybe they're intimidated by your (apparently large) biceps?
For me, UVA, Vandy, Georgetown. At least I finally got the Harvard secondary, because that was late for me too.
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'm with you, Snuke. UVA kind of hurt yesterday (didn't apply to Vandy, still on the secondary for GT).

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.
Agree with both.
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.
See, that should be an auto-accept. I mean, the dedication to get up to such athletic excellence is awe-inspiring.
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.
UVA is all about getting the interview; if you get it as OOS, it's about 70% acceptance rate, but IS is closer to 95%.
I bet we'd all stop being so neurotic once we get one invite, which is why we just need Mayo to come through tonight. Some of us ought to get the invite!

I'll trade 3 PS points for your skills with the french horn.
Hmm, to get me to 37? Deal!
I don't know if the horn will actually help, but we'll see. Might depend on the school, though I'm banking on it to get me into Cornell because of their Music and Medicine program! Other than that, there's no telling. Maybe Mayo needs a few musicians this cycle!
BTW, how close are you to winning your bet?
I'll trade my lunch for an acceptance!
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.
Not close at all. I'm still under 3000 views!
I just visited and refreshed a few times 👍
(Is that allowed?)
Since I saw your sig, I try to look at it a few times a day. What do you get if you win?

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.
Well if I'm going to get rejected I'd like to know

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!
EDIT: AzDoc, I change my vote to no rejections for LOR request people when the invites come out. I just checked last year's thread.
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.
Good to see that you have your priorities straight.
Oh, is it video time? Yes, I think so.
(Because I am a closet nerd and SC2 rocked)

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.
BAHAHA I thought somone was going to get mad about the TROLLLLLL, but not in the Mayo thread
I like how someone asked earlier if Mayo liked jocks, and we've cooperated by starting to talk about our raging biceps. I, too, have picked up a weight before, so I'm totally with y'all on being a jock 🙂
i don't know a lot of music vids, but i'm always ready to post izzard.

Always appropriate! I shall respond with some Jeff Dunham (not quite so sophisticated, I'm afraid). I hope everyone has seen this.

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 😀
You 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?

I'm pretty sure the first one is an attempt at producing her first porno

I would apologize, but I can't. Everyone needs to experience Achmed. It's one of those things where you always remember where you were when you first see him.
Or just that we're similarly neurotic. I accept that.
My daily entertainment contribution as I wait on news... Another Friday parody, but something I think we can all appreciate 😀

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.
Mayo is always worth it. 👍 Glad to have you join us - come join in the speculations! We can never have enough neurotic-ism on the thread.
The chemistry cat was so good, I had to find my own.
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.
I didn't find any red cat cooler than the one you have now. Chemistry cat is white only, I'm afraid.
Maybe:
Or, but you might have to re-size it.
