Did anyone else receive a LOR confirmation email on July 15th and not hear a single thing since then?
You're not alone. But it seems like they just want more applicants to weigh us against before making a decision.
LOR confirmation at both campuses on July 5th and it's been radio silence since then. I expect we'll hear back within the next month as we're compared to this new batch of applicants.
Where exactly do the interviews take place? Did you get a follow-up email after the II that gave a specific building / address, or do you just show up to the main front door of the hospital in Scottsdale?
Interested in knowing about this as well...
Near the bottom of the unrejection email it did say "Please note that if you have applied to BOTH campuses, your application will be reopened on both campuses." My interpretation is that we're back in the running to receive a LOR request from MN as well.

Greetings SupremeLeader! It great to be back on the best condiment train [emoji16] hope MN also shows me some love too
Hi! Do you mind sharing how you managed the logistics of the interview? As in where did you stay and how did you commute from your place of stay to the interview site and how many days prior to the interview you arrived to AZ? Also, I heard that Mayo MN covered all your travel expenses, correct me if I'm wrong, but does Mayo AZ have travel reimbursement of any sorts? Thank you!
@Pre-MD/MPH Do you mind sharing your planning as well? Thanks!
Hi all!
As a Canadian applicant applying to Mayo Medical School, I had a couple of questions for the Arizona campus application. My application was processed quite late (Sept 14), and I just paid my Mayo Clinic fee today (Sept 15). I would consider my ECs to be strong, but then again I'm a Cdn and not sure if it's too different. My MCAT was a 517 and I have a good GPA.
My questions was whether I should also apply to the Arizona campus? I really like both campuses, but given the fee to apply for both and the reduced chances because of my status, I was a bit confused. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

They offered a discounted rate at the hotel on the Mayo Clinic campus which only requires walking to the building you need to go to. Otherwise you could rent a car or use Uber. I came in the night before and left the day of the interview. I have never heard of a medical school covering your travel costs, and AZ does not offer to.
Yes, Arizona is one state that has actively embraced the rise of Uber. There is even an Uber pickup space at the airport.
Congratulations! Stats?
LizzyM 77, consider myself a well-rounded candidate. Philosophy major with a focus on volunteering and such. If you need more info shoot me a PM!
It's the opposite for me I've received an LORr from AZ but not MN! Really hoping to hear from MN soon!
Thank you! I know II's come in batches, so has anyone else received an II as well today? My LORs were also received on 7/25
Here's my dilemma guys: So I received an LOR request for AZ on that day where quite a few people's applications rose from the dead. I had not been rejected from the AZ campus but I was from the MN campus. According to that email, an LOR request from that day means that applications are reopened for both schools. Do you think that means that I am back in the running at the MN campus as well? The only thing that makes me think "no" is that I didn't get that email from Mayo, but that may just be because the LOR request that I got was from the campus that I hadn't been rejected to yet. Thanks!
II middle of last night as well! LORS received late july.

From my understanding, you should also be back in the running for MN as well.
Decreased liklihood of II. Considering they may choose some folks from the pool they just opened up to fill the same II slots that were going to be selected from a smaller group before. But Mayo Gods work in mysterious ways. Mayo Gods Bless, Amen.
The only rate I found was $129/night at Marriott. If that is after discount then hell no I can't afford that haha.
In the interview confirmation email it says that the day ends at 3 PM so where did you keep your luggage since the checkout time at Marriott is 12 PM?

Marriott is usually nice enough to hold your stuff for a couple hrs.

Yeah, just re-send to AMCAS with the same letter id number. They will then send the updated letter to all schools.

Stats don't matter. This is mayo
Don't matter after a certain point.*
Received email saying LOR are received and complete!
Assuming you pass the minimum MCAT screen and probably some GPA cut off we don't know about.
They just unrejected a bunch of people. I am assuming as long as you have a 28 on the old exam you won't be refected,I think that is the threshold for passing the steps.
On the old thread, someone mentioned earlier that it was 508/30 for the payment request.
+3! Hoping for the best for everyone 🙂
