LOR request as well. If we already designated LORs to them through AMCAS, we don't have to do anything, right?
 
+1 over here!

From their email: "Please note that if you have sent your letters to AMCAS prior to receiving this notification, you do not need to resend them. This email is letting you know that we will now begin retrieving your letters." @Person0715 , I think we're good to go..
 
Also got a lor request, and from what I understand don't only about 20% of all applications recieve one?

Same here!

From previous posts...that seems to be the case.

Maybe they are extra generous because we applied so early in the cycle and they don't have enough applications to read? lolol =D wishful thinking <3 but congrats y'all, one step closer to an interview =D
 
got a letter request as well. @mik30102 where did you hear the 20% from if you don't mind my asking? thanks 🙂
 
From @earf in an earlier post.

"4000 apply
800 get LOR requests
250-300 get interviews
~72 are offered acceptances (including from alternate list)
"
 
Congrats to everyone with LOR requests! When did you all get your fee confirmation email?
Ditto, would like to know this as well since they just got my application fee last night at 9:01P, I'm hoping that this means they haven't fully checked everything out yet.

I got my fee confirmation 6/29 and LOR request today, so hang in there!

Anyone know what the recent numbers are in regard to Applicants, LOR requests, Interviewers, Acceptances? I saw on another thread someone said there are as many as 1,700 LOR request sent out, so I'm not sure what is most accurate.

I posted that earlier in the thread... Like 10-15 posts up. Quoted verbatim from a guy who is an MS2 at MMS and has been posting on this thread...
 
You know... I hate that my committee letter won't be in until the end of the month.

Damn undergrad institution!

"Those numbers are dated. Somebody mentioned on this thread earlier that an admissions representative on a Mayo tour stated ~1700 LOR requests."
I just saw this on the 2012-2013 thread, so that's why I was a bit thrown off, sorry!

Well, LOR request means you're still in the running. That's all that matters at this point.

I haven't gotten it yet and I was verified on 6/27. Congratz yall! Should I still be hoping to get one?
 
I got one, but I hope I'm never in a class with this person...way to stay classy.
My statement was merely inquisitive, not derogatory or "classless". The purpose of this (and other threads) is to gain up to date information about a school and their application process. While it is useful to hear that a large number of people have gotten LOR requests , it's equally as useful to know if people have paid the fee and not gotten LOR requests yet.

Oh really. K, I'm sitting in the library with 3 friends, and none have received the LOR request. N=4...They loved your comment btw.

Request for LOR today at 5:19AM! I was verified 7/1 and paid the fee 7/3. sGPA 3.91, MCAT 34.
When did you receive the email saying everything was complete? I'm getting worried because I payed my fee 7/3, but got an email 7/7 saying my application and fee were complete.
