2016-2017 Mayo Medical School (MN) Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Gina emailed me apologizing about the wrong name. It's not good news everyone. Sorry!


Edit: oops just saw you all knew this. Was a good time everyone! Enjoy your studies elsewhere! Getting amped about my other choices now...

After receiving the misdirected email, did anyone receive apologies from Gina?

Someone a few posts up said they did.

I wonder how much the wrong name issue is going to hold up waitlist emails/I wonder if they haven't announced all rejections yet and they're trying to fix this before sending out the rest

Mayo resurrected me to show me the beautiful light that is the Mayo Clinic, only to kick me back down into my grave.

It's like that girl who's way out of your league tells you she was wrong about you and actually wants to date you, only to dump you right afterwards. And the worst part is you find out she thought your name was Kenneth the whole time.

This is exactly how I feel. My first rejection post-interview and it really stings. I loved you Mayo 🙁
 
Rejected. Whatever y'all couldn'a handled me anyway.

Edit: also I sent a letter of intent and a med student sent an email on my behalf so none of that helps haha.

LOL I'm sorry. Don't worry there are plenty of fish in the sea.

So far, no one with a "likely letter" has reported being rejected.
While the correlation with the likely letters and appointments is strong, I don't think much can actually be gleaned from the receipt of one seeing as there are a good number of kids who received appointments without ever getting correspondence. There are definitely other factors at play with these correspondences

I have been able to determine that a likely letter means one of two things. You'll be appointed or you won't.

For all we know, letters were intended for everyone but each wave of letters was so involved the process was just extremely sloppy...
 
I got a likely letter at the AZ campus though... and still have yet to hear anything back. I interviewed in December.

Edit: Which I think leans towards the direction of us still having no idea what they mean haha.

Yes i think they honestly are not very indicative. If everyone who was accepted reported getting one then I can say something for them
 
This is killing me.

Arizona sent WL emails this afternoon, stating deliberations were complete. Really want the same from MN so I can go about my weekend without constantly refreshing SDN and my email.
 
Could it be that MN is on a different timeline and is still deliberating and they have yet to decide on those who haven't heard back yet?
