I would be interested in that as well! haha

 

[Person0715]

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

 

[mik30102]

Also got a lor request, and from what I understand don't only about 20% of all applications recieve one?

 

[Avocado8]

+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..

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

 

[harvst]

got a letter request as well. @mik30102 where did you hear the 20% from if you don't mind my asking? thanks 🙂

 

[sakabato93]

From @earf in an earlier post.

"4000 apply
800 get LOR requests
250-300 get interviews
~72 are offered acceptances (including from alternate list)"

 

[accueil]

LOR request as well!! Super excited

Congrats to everyone with LOR requests! When did you all get your fee confirmation email?

 

[Hermione L Knope MD. Ph.D]

LOR request with lower stats! 🙂 32/3.75c

 

[ConsultantMD]

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.

 

[Earl Simmons]

LOR request over here too!

 

[bluemachine]

my fee confirmation email came in 7/1, and i received LOR request today.

 

[sahmoc]

LOR request made my morning!

 

[ConsultantMD]

my fee confirmation email came in 7/1, and i received LOR request today.

Thanks for being the only one to answer my question! That makes sense, so it looks like the ship hasn't sailed just yet for me. Maybe next week?

I got an LOR request and paid my fee 6/28

 

[Earl Simmons]

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...

 

[HeLaDeala]

So if I paid mine on 6/27 am I out of the running?

 

[kthxbai]

Got an LOR request!!

 

[gettheleadout]

LOR Request here too! II's began 8/1 last cycle just FYI.

 

[TheCookieMonster000]

Love me Mayo~

 

[kthxbai]

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!

 

[sunflower18]

LOR request here too 🙂

 

[demystifie]

YAY LOR request!!

 

[CCrown]

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

 

[The Milkman]

LOR request here, too. lol thought I was special til I saw this whole thread got one as well! congrats everyone!

 

[Bacillus subtilis]

LOR request received this morning🙂

 

[Person0715]

LOR request here, too. lol thought I was special til I saw this whole thread got one as well! congrats everyone!

Lol yea

 

[trailblazer518]

Got a LOR request too

 

[Abstractions]

It would seem the better question at this point is: Who has paid the fee and hasn't got a LOR request yet?

 

[HeLaDeala]

I haven't gotten it yet and I was verified on 6/27. Congratz yall! Should I still be hoping to get one?

 

[rhythmisadancer]

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.

I'm sorry if you (or anyone else) interpreted the statement as inflammatory; I didn't intend it to be.

Hey, relax

I think it would be important to point out the SDN "achievement inflation," i.e. people who get accepted/requests/interviews/etc. are more likely to post than those who did not.

 

[sahmoc]

Truth.

 

[Copernicium]

No request yet =(

 

[ConsultantMD]

No request yet =(

If you didn't submit your money right away on the 27th then I think you don't have to worry just yet, maybe next week?

 

[Copernicium]

But I did 😛 ~20 min after I got the e-mail. But there's still time, I suppose...

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.
