Chin up man! Its seems like Mayo's selection process is a little more unique than some other schools. I'm sure with those stats you'll hear good stuff from a lot of other schools!
You'll be fine bud, good luck!
That's weird, I never got that email even though I got a LOR invite email and the completed email, anyone else on the same page? I got something similar, but it didn't have the "4-6 weeks"
for me that was just tacked at the end of the LoR received email.
Got rejection today. Passed all their initial screens, received and sent LOR invite, and waited. Extremely unique ECs with training medical residents and nurses. I hope that my letter of reconsideration to them might help 
Wait, you're saying you got rejected post LOR request? Of so, that's new... And sorry to hear, bro 🙁Got rejection today. Passed all their initial screens, received and sent LOR invite, and waited.

I was under the impression that they did not send out rejections post LOR requests until after they sent out II's.
Yes. No invite. I guess rejections are on their way for post-LOR. Good luck to you all
I'm sorry to hear that. I have read your background, and you will do great. Keep your head up, this is largely a lottery of too many applicants.
Can you please tell me on which day you were complete?
Thanks! I'll be ok. I have interviews already. I was complete on 7/9
Sorry to hear that you were rejected. Thank you for letting us know. And congratulations on your IIs at other schools.
That's what we've been able to glean from last year's thread, but who really knows if that is necessarily true. On the other hand, perhaps they have sent out a few IIs to non-SDNers. I realize that folks on SDN tend to be a pretty accomplished bunch, but it is possible. My sense is that for most applicants they wait to make decisions until they have a better idea of where they stand relative to the entire pool. It seems that they might be getting close to whatever that magic sample size.

Yea Mayo LOR Request!!! "It is preferred that recommendation letters and ratings sheets be uploaded through the AMCAS website." How do my recommenders upload the ratings sheet through AMCAS?
Umm...what is a rating sheet?
They just want the same normal LOR's you'd submit to any other school.
Yeah, i never saw anything about a rating sheet.
So is it just another way of saying letter of evaluation/recommendation?

What did your rejection email say exactly for post-LOR rejection?

Rating sheets are kind of a cover letter for your committee package. Usually you deans complete them. On the sheet they usually rate your academic competitiveness, personal competency on some kind of scale. If your undergraduate institution don't use committee pack then you don't have to worry about it.
THIS IS THE WEEK
I predict that the day we abandon all hope for II's is when they will finally be sent out.
Alas, its going to be a long time before we get any action at this rate 🙁.

Well they gave them selves a dealine when they said 4-6 weeks right? And I think the first ppl complete were on the 12th, right? If so, I think we can safely assume II will come out this Sat or Sun morning.

I was complete on the 10th, and in my complete email there is no mention of the 4-6 weeks. They must have added that to the emails of people who were complete later.
I was complete on the 9th and it does mention 4-6 weeks 😉
+1! 9th and 4-6 weeks. So I guess they have up until next Wednesday.... But sooner would be appreciated! 🙂
+2 so maybe they are only committed to getting back to a handful of us within 4-6 weeks 😉
Or (playing devil's advocate here) they quickly realized it'd take longer than 4-6 weeks so they removed it from all subsequent emails.
+2 and really hoping for this week haha
Sent from my neural implant using SDN Mobile
Grr probably. Hopefully not because that means we all have a looong wait ahead of us still.
I'm counting on next Wed. 1 week from today.
If you ran for president tomo, I would vote for you.
Settle down, Mr. Underwood. Of course you would vote for him! 😉 (Better watch out, The Milkman!)
Just got rejected pre-LOR...best of luck to everyone else!

Sorry man, good luck to you for the rest of the cycle!
Received this the other day:
"Mayo Medical School has recently received your application from the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS). Thank you for choosing Mayo as one of the schools you are interested in attending. We sincerely appreciate your application and your interest in our school.
A non-refundable $120 fee payable in United States currency is required to initiate the review process of your AMCAS application. Electronic payment should be submitted at your earliest convenience."
It seems I made it through the first screen? This second portion just needs a fee, but does anyone know if I will get an opportunity to provide updates about what I will be doing in my time off? (recent graduate)

I don't believe you can update anything until you are invited for an interview. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.
