True that there are no rejections at this point, but I mean it is still awesome to have made it to the interview phase. 4000+ other applicants were not so fortunate.

Yes, same here. LOR received 8/19 and nothing.

Same boat here as well. Not sure if they're done with interviews or not. Their website says they only interview through mid-December, but I know last year they had at least 1 interview date in Jan.
Edit: My LOR were received late Sept.
I checked the online interview scheduling system thing and it looks like they added two more interview dates in January. However, although one of the dates are selectable, the other one is grayed out, which I think means the date is filled.
Me too. LORs received 9/17 and no rejection or interview invite thus far.
Ooh, thanks for checking. Not sure if this is good news or not, since I haven't gotten an II!
You've been incredibly helpful this cycle - thank you. Think there's a chance that those of us who haven't heard might get a "holiday surprise" interview invite like last year? It seems unlikely that good news is heading our way, but I'm keeping the hope alive!
Thanks Endure! I think there are still some coming. Otherwise Mayo would have sent mass rejections to everyone by now. I think Mayo interviews at most 10 people on each interview day (at least that's how many chairs there were in the waiting room), so it looks like there are less than 10 spots left for interview invites. If you want to check, you can always call Gina-- she doesn't bite lol. Plus you can stay anonymous on the phone.
We beat the pants off the Miracle Whip Clinic !!! 🙂
LOR 8/19, rejection this morning, 33 mcat, 3.5c/3.77s GPA, average clinical/volunteer, tons of research, PhD in biomedical science with 3 pubs... farewell mayo... good luck to everybody

I think that time is quickly approaching, but if you have not received a rejection, you are still in the running for an ii. Good luck and enjoy the holidays!!!
Ah, Chelonia (mydas) it's been some time! I've PMed you
Man, it's been almost silent on here for Mayo acceptances. I know they don't accept that many people to begin with, but I would have thought that there would at least be quite a few of those on SDN by now.
They seem to be doing things differently this year, I think.
Sorry to hear it. Stay cool in Florida!! We're freezing here in the midwest. Rochester was freezing when I was there.
I so want an interview with University of Miami, just so I can come to Florida in the winter!!
I actually live in Minneapolis right now so I totally understand.
what?? why?? wasn't this your dream lol
I know. I was just wondering if its supposed to take over a month? They said it would only be about 2 weeks. Maybe its because of the holidays. Is there anyone from the 11/25 interview group or earlier that has not been ranked yet either?
Also, I think it does put you at a disadvantage if you aren't ranked for a while because your interviewers aren't going to remember you as well and that might effect your rank. I really hope not though!
From what I've read, most interviewees are ranked close to a 5 anyway because they also consider your app (not just the interview) when ranking you. It could be that one of your interviewers went on vacation/medical trip abroad after interviewing you. It happened to someone on my interview day.
If you're wondering when you're going to get ranked, you can always email Gina and ask (I think she said you generally get ranked between 1 and 3 weeks after interviewing, so you're beyond that period now).

Just a bit late to our Hold Party, hopefully you won't stay long. Best wishes to you, as you've had quite a successful season so far.
Got into Mayo a couple weeks ago!! Could not be more happy still! Made this account in case the following helps anyone. I interviewed on 11/18, was ranked on 12/19, and was called/given an appointment on 12/20. Good luck and stay strong in this crazy process!!
Sure, 3.9, 33, lots of community and clinical hours, decent research, and applied as disadvantaged.
The waitlist is probably forming soon since the last interview day was last Friday, and there will probably be another round of acceptances coming either this week and/or next week.
Thanks Nemo, helpful as always
Yep, I did.
Did you email it or snail mail it? How long afterwards did it take to get a reply?
My interviewer just left a cryptic voicemail asking me to call back, saying she would like to "talk to me". I tried but no response! I mean, is there any way this could not be good news? I'm dying here...
Edit: FYI was put on hold some time ago
Could definitely be good news... Could you email her too? Good luck pyrrion!
Yeah, I did that too! I feel so bad I missed her calls, twice! She said in the voicemail, "I'd like to talk to you and see how you're doing, and extend an invitation." Maybe I'm being paranoid? When I hear invitation I think "invitation to come to Mayo."

Extend an invitation sounds like a good thing to me in terms of an acceptance. It would be kind of odd to have your interviewer randomly invite you to her house for dinner or something like that if you weren't accepted lol.

Congratulations! They call on Monday nights? Wow, they really aren't follow the schedule this year... Did Gina or Dr. Romanski call you too?
