2016-2017 Mayo (AZ) Medical School Application Thread
Started by To be MD
Get help with your application
Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
I mean at this point, we're already rejected.. the worst that can happen is we stay rejected

Good news (hopefully). I just called Susan at the office. They will send out an email for further clarification but if you got an email with an LORr and was already rejected, it means your application was re opened.
If you're like me and haven't been rejected but got this email, it's still TBD. They said they're working on providing clarification in a later email. Take this post with a grain of salt until that second email arrives but it seems it would be good news.
woo!! thanks for clarifying
OMG thank you SO much this is super helpful
That's great news for you guys!
lol. everyone please take the post with a grain of salt. I'm just merely passing along what I was told and I really hope it is good news.
I'd hate to be a bigger tease than those Twitter Chat emails for you folks who also surf the NYU and Michigan forums.

Lol that Michigan one about gave me a heart attack in the middle of class.
Did they reject too many early on?
That could be. They may have rejected too many and then realized they didn't have enough people applying later on in order to really have an adequate applicant pool to choose from. Who knows though..
It's possible that with their first class at the AZ campus they may have underestimated the amount of interviews they needed to hold for both campuses. Of course, I don't know for sure, just hopeful!
+13 (or however many other people got post rejection LORr)
It'd be a pretty funny story to tell people I got into a school that rejected me in the same cycle. Hoping @bluedevil5126 is right!

See all I can think of is getting a second rejection from the same school 🙄
One can be half full or half empty I guess lol.
Maybe if they reject us a second time, they'll un-reject us again for an interview. Then they can reject us three times!
Wouldn't that be de-rejected?
Is there anyone on here that got rejected and DIDNT get the LOR email? I doubt anyone would still be following this but it's worth a shot
The best part is it isn't a "branch campus." It's going to be the exact same four year program as the original MN campus. It's one single national school with multiple campuses now. How cool is that????
I was rejected from the MN campus but never received the letter request. For the AZ campus, I wasn't rejected but got the letter request this morning.
Oh yah. It's a small class size, but really active students and groups.
Just got this e-mail from MAYO:
You have received a request to submit your letters of recommendation for review after having received a rejection from Mayo Medical School. We apologize for the confusion this has likely engendered.
Under new leadership, the Mayo Medical School Admissions committee has been given the opportunity to expand our pool of candidates and review additional applications to identify students like yourself with outstanding academic achievement and other merits for potential interview for the class of 2017.
We would like to give you the opportunity to be one of those students to whom we are offering a reconsideration of their applications. While this does not guarantee that you will be invited to interview, we do expect a significant number of applicants who received the request for letters will be offered that opportunity. Please note that if you have applied to BOTH campuses, your application will be reopened on both campuses.

No - I heard it was a change in the computerized process they use to do preliminary screening of applicants/auto-rejections. Mayo Medical School has a new Dean who is really interested in finding amazing medical students. How cool is that???
Lol what. "Under new leadership"
Even though mayo is still probably an insane long shot for me, this is all really cool. I have a lot of really unique extra curriculars so hopefully with this new system I'll have a shot!
They must have had less ppl apply than expected.

I was just out on the Mayo Medical School Facebook page and they have a new video tour of the new AZ campus. Sound is a little low, but it looks very cool!
Does anyone know if this means I am going to be reconsidered for the MN campus if I received a pre-LORr rejection? I didn't receive a LORr for MN but did receive a LORr for only the AZ campus earlier today
No, they get thousands of applicants. I heard they have a new Dean who is really interested in finding great students.
We have a new Dean, so I think that is what the email is referring to.
Sweet!
I received LOR request, no 2nd email.
Just got the reconsideration email. Wow, this is really surprising, I honestly thought this was a mistake, but it looks like we're still in the running! Definitely brightened my day.
This may have been asked a million times, but do they consider post-LORr updates?

so what do you know about how the process differs? is he reverting to a stats based screen versus their extracurricular screen or something?
+1. Also curious.
According to the other thread, people have waited from one day to over a month to get the "we received your letters" email. So as long as they are already designated to the school through AMCAS we should have nothing to worry about!
my gpa is not much higher than yours and i am still sitting on the LORr. No rejection post LORr but no invitation to interview either. long story short, i don't think it was for your gpa previously, but it may have been the no research thing.
just interested to see what hte previous poster's insight might be.
See the last few pages, you are not alone!

Check the MN thread for clarification ... In short: there is good news for you
AHHHHH. That's the best news I've gotten all month! Now time to constantly refresh my inbox and go back to folding my thousand paper cranes.
Welcome back!
Thanks! Its nice to be back on the Mayo train. *runs to the store and buys more mayo to make sandwiches*
