2011-2012 Mayo Application Thread

Rejected, LOR request 7/6. Good night Mayo.
I was verified on 7/21 and haven't heard a peep from Mayo - I've got decent numbers (3.8/37) so I assume I should have passed the preliminary screen for a fee request. Am I being paranoid or should I consider contacting the admissions office?
don't contact the office. they'll email you if they want to request LORs...not everyone gets an LOR and it's not numbers based but based rather on ECs. People with great numbers haven't gotten LOR requests while "average" stats have. Take a look back and you'll notice that most of us who were complete early (prior to mid July) took 1-2 weeks to hear back from them after our "fee received email." good luck!
I haven't even received a fee request though; that has me worried.
I wouldn't see a problem calling about the fee. The "secondary" goes out to everyone. Although most places are starting to get backed up with applicants, so that could be the reason you have not heard anything.
LOR request 7/1 and still nothing. Happy I haven't gotten rejected yet, but super nervous.
There are amazingly qualified people getting rejected from this place after they sent them a LOR request. I'm sorry to hear it guys. Good luck to everyone!

Right there with you.
I apparently can't read...I'm sorry for misinterpreting your "fee request" as "lor request." my fee request took about a week to come through. See if you get that infamous 2am email tonight...if not, I'd consider calling to be sure they actually got your primary. I know some schools didn't get some primaries on random dates (thank you amcas). Again, I apologize for my hasty reply.
No problem... thanks for taking the time to reply.
+1. Alas, guess it just wasn't meant to be. Good luck to everyone else, both with Mayo and elsewhere!

Sorry to hear that! Will you tell me the secret to your username? Is it the known mass of the universe? I can't remember ever studying a number/constant with such a high value.
A superhero never reveals his secret identity 😉 I will say that it's not scientific in nature (I actually never thought of that until you mentioned it!)
Add me to this list. It is such a strange list to be a part of.
Is it related to computers?
Nope. Also something I'm surprised by (I guess it's a matter of perspectives). The answer will definitely underwhelm 🙂 PM me if you really, really want to know.

You are quite the detective! No wonder Mayo wants to interview you.
Detective-ing was one of my 3 significant activities.
I don't care if this isn't his bakery- this is awesome. 👍👍
Most probably on the interview waitlist. Sigh.
this is gold.

I suspect that it's just speculation of the highest order
According to my experiences from last cycle, it is very likely that Mayo (and many others) has a waitlist for interviewing. They don't reject you right away, but wait to see if your qualifications are strong enough to be placed in an interview in future months. If no, then they will send out the rejection letter. (My speculations! Don't take my word for it.)
lol.
That's a dumb thing to guess.
Interviews haven't even started yet. It's far too early to give up hope, and you aren't rejected until you get the email.
Well, I'm only being realistic. Most people got LOR requests a couple days after they submitted the fee.
is it two in the frog, one in the bog...... or two in the crown, one in the brown

No, I don't think most people did. Plus, you're later in the cycle, so there are probably more applications to filter through.
You're everywhere.
Yeah, those numbers are either sub-par or decent, but definitely nothing more.
How else am I going to satisfy my neurotic tendencies?
Definitely sub-par. Surprised Carib isn't being considered.
Did they dress up like monkeys because the main guy looks like a monkey? Kinda like obvious troll is obvious, only I don't get it.
