anyone know how long they take to download LOR's after the LOR request?

It took 9 days in my case (LOR request 7/8, LOR received email 7/17).

I received my LOR request 7/14 and was complete 7/30.

 

[Leslie_Knope]

Check my MDapps but I'm pretty sure it was only a day between request and complete status.

 

[treschic124]

Haha，can't beat the <24hr rejections seen around U of Chicago threads.

I went to UChicago as an undergrad. The quick rejection is part of being a student there too 🙂 (I loved it, but it's a tough love kind of place)

 

[kthxbai]

Same here. The delay is probably due to the influx of apps. Just be patient everyone, I'm sure we'll all hear from them soon enough.

So we're all thinking 2-2:30am CT tonight for first II's?

Totally. 8/1/14 has something magical about it.

Haha. All the talk about the legendary middle of the night Mayo emails hasn't materialized for me. All my emails have been at the mundane 8:00 A.M. or 5:00 P.M.

I would happily take a 2:00 A.M. II, though😉

Ditto, I get the ones at 8:00am

Can confirm. I received my fee request at 1:43am. Of course I proceeded to get out of bed to pay it then too

 

[FindMeOnTheLinks]

I got my LOR request at 1:32am. This is going to happen.

Takes you 5mins to pay the fee? Too slow, clearly there is a lack of interest in the school. Application rejected!

 

[FFH]

If only we have the 10:10(am) Tuesday and 3:33 (pm) Friday like the way that UMich was doing last cycle.

 

[Overanxious]

I got my LOR request at 1:32am. This is going to happen.

+1...LOR request (July 15th) 1:32am
Fee request 1:31 am...

Here's hoping for a 1:33am II

Hmm, all my emails have been during normal hours.... Could this be a bad sign for my application??? 😉

 

[2Infinity]

The giddiness for it turn Aug. 1st is like waiting for New Years

I only hope it's not a Y2K type let down..

Yes.

 

[Abstractions]

SDN neuroticism never fails to disappoint 😀

 

[FindMeOnTheLinks]

Well, its not looking too great for our late night II predictions. I assumed you would all be posting the good news by now.

Perhaps 8:00am?

 

[LFF]

My wildest email times were 6 am or 8 pm🙂

 

[FindMeOnTheLinks]

Perhaps 8:00am?

I am pulling an all nighter for this. I will not sleep until someone gets an II from mayo!! Even if it's next week.



Btw, drove through Rochester again today. I love that city.

 

[bweild]

O.M.G. There's an email in my inbox from Mayo... 😱

Wait, wait, no, nevermind. This is an interview invitation to complete an online survey, for which I would be compensated a free jar of mayonnaise. Who gets spam about mayonnaise??? (must have some spyware that's picking up on my Google searches)

Sorry for the false alarm.

😛

 

[mik30102]

Im going on a mayo strike until we hear something. My sandwhiches will be eaten dry starting today!

Agree with @Friendly_female_house , keep your head up! We can't win them all! Also with this crazy process, it could've just as easily been anyone else as you with similar numbers. #whoknowswhathappensintheblackbox

 

[F.Underwood]

In the Subject line it states: Mayo Medical School - Not selected

Dear Mayo Medical School Applicant,

Thank you for your application and interest in Mayo Medical School. The medical school admissions committee has recently concluded a thorough review of a large number of applications received from interested individuals. The committee was very impressed with the high quality of the applicant pool. However, we have received many more competitive applications than we can recommend for an interview and/or a position at Mayo Medical School for 2015. We believe that this reflects the depth and quality of the applicant pool and the accompanying intensity of the competition for the number of positions in our medical school.

Unfortunately, your application was not among those selected for further review. We appreciate your serious interest in Mayo Medical School as well as the time and effort you have devoted to preparing your application.

We wish you well in your future pursuits and offer you our best wishes for success in your career. Once again, thank you for your interest in Mayo Medical School.

Sincerely,


Susan A. Romanski, M.D.
Chair, Admissions Comm

How soon after the LOR request did you all get a "LORs received" email?

 

[premedpurposes]

Mine was already submitted to amcas so it took less than 24h

 

[Jordana007]

Does everyone get a secondary or only the those that LORs are requested?

 

[hoihaie]

there is no secondary. The LoR request is kinda like the secondary

 

[amad01]

[kthxbai]

Is it just me or are all schools extra slow this year?

 

[The Milkman]

Is it just me or are all schools extra slow this year?

Slow AMCAS= fast schools.
Fast AMCAS= slow schools.

Guess we can't have both!

I think next week will be a big week. Of course I said that about last week..
