LOR request on 7/6 on and "final review stage" on 7/13
I can guarantee you no one has been rejected from that group.
You need to give them a lot more then 10 days before freaking out.

I'm worried because everyone that's gotten their LOR requests seems to be getting them within a week and the rejections seem to take a bit longer than that.
Hmm I just started watching the second season. That's kind of a bummer... the first season was incredible. So much potential.

^ same.....let's hope it's either tomorrow or saturday morning. this waiting is killing me
my LOR request came in 10 days (7/16--->7/26)
can we slow the roll on this thread? I'm wicked tired of sifting through a billion posts half of which are bull***t neurotic stuff constantly seeking to compare their progress with others (seriously, how many more "LYK OMG WEN VER U COMPLETE?! I HOPES MY AKSEPTENCE IS CUMMING IN 2MROW! 😀 X" posts do we need?) or totally off topic discussions. All the BS is severely hindering the effectiveness and usefulness of the thread.
The red I agree with, the blue not so much.
The off topic stuff, such as TV shows and whatever else has been discussed is what can make us a "community"... is that the word I'm looking for here 😕
I think this is the first post in this thread I was actually put off by. I seriously love everyone here and wish everyone could get accepted to Mayo!!
So far I'm at the LOR received email and that they will be contacting me whether or not they would like an interview in the near future.
I have a 29Q MCAT and 3.65 GPA (pursuing two degrees in Microbio/Genetics)
*Edit: I'm also a Minnesota native.. really hoping to get in to either the Mayo your U of M.

I largely agree with DAPI, although I'm probably a little more appreciative of the stat sharing/speculation. I think being obsessive is part of the fun of the application process and I've definitely enjoyed this thread and all it's neurosis. Besides, we're beating every other school's thread right now and we're on track to beat last cycle's view and post counts if we can keep up the current level of enthusiasm! I think we should go for it!
Three posts up I think we all agreed to stop posting stuff like this
EDIT: Make that four. My posting skills have slowed down 🙁
I like obsessing and being neurotic. Thts the whole point of sdn! 🙂

I wonder what sdn's carbon footprint is? I bet it spikes every application cycle between July and September.
We also have a lot of data here and it would be great if someone could write a script to search every school's thread and construct a timeline so that applicants know what to expect and how much variability there is year to year. I bet somebody on here could do it - that would be a spectacular feature!

I'm only going to respond to this thread with pictures until I get rejected.
Will your last picture be this one?
And what will you do if you get accepted?
I agree, i love this thread. I love checking it and seeing we're on a new page...LOL!
T-minus 1.5 days until *maybe* interview/rejection emails come out. I'm still guessing saturday at 2AM lolz

It could also be Sunday at 2:30am!
true! wait till next year when the 2013-2014 group is like...."I checked last years thread and all I could find were posts about TV shows, though they speculated emails come out Saturday or Sunday in the middle of the night..." haha
We could always start the stat train again...
No!
I like how we all say "Mayo doesn't care about stats first. It's all about the ECs." Then everyone continues by asking, "what are your stats?"
Really?
Don't worry, I was just being inflammatory.
But seriously, what are your stats???
😀
10.0BCPM/10.0c, 80Z MCAT
10.0BCPM/10.0c, 80Z MCAT
ZOMG how do u count 2 80z?!?! ur lizzy scores off teh chain!

Sorry to hear that...hopefully you'll have plenty of other interviews
Long shot for me too though...I was complete a week later than you, so I may be receiving mine soon too..
Same here. It was a long shot for me too, but first rejection still smarts. Good luck all!
yesterday I was trying to explain to someone why I was awake at 2 am when i had work early the next day. "Mayo sends emails at 2:30 AM" will get you some weird looks...
Were you complete 7/6 also?
Post-LOR rejection. Best of luck to all still in the running.
Sorry to hear that.
I have a strong feeling that I will get one tonight/tomorrow morning.
When did you get the letters received email?

He got the LOR request on 7/6 and had already assigned the letters, so he was likely in the first batch.
No news is good news. If you didnt get a rejection last night you should be fine until the next round of II come through.
Don't worry 🙂
I called them. They said they were familiar with my undergraduate institution and because we had an "intensive" semester of ochem lab, it was considered equal to two semesters.
They must've skipped chronological order now, I was a 7/16'er and haven't heard anything. Or something on your app just took their attention immediately. Do you have some crazy ECs, GPA/MCAT, or both?
Congrats on the LOR request, that's one of the faster turnarounds I've seen!
