2019-2020 Mayo Clinic (Alix), Minnesota

[tinytrain1]

Mayo is officially canceled.

No actually though. This is so unprofessional and also against key principles in medicine. When there's a complication in surgery, you go outside and update the family! You don't ignore their questions for hours and leave them hanging. And I don't mean to compare this to surgery but for a school that prides itself on teaching medicine/professionalism/patient empowerment, this is pitiful.

Me, after getting the Mayo acceptance email today, going to victory lunch, and just now opening this forum: My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

 

[deleted965528]

As in, the adcom told them to tell us they have "no comment"

Again, more reason to spread this and make sure they don't slip away by simply signing a huge check to lawyers, publicists, etc. This is a time where I actually believe the court of public opinion.

TO ANYONE THAT HAS A LAWYER FOR A PARENT: I will contribute my $100 deposit towards their billing on our class-action suit.

 

[ddmf20]

there is NOBODY who interviewed but did not receive the email? pls speak now lol seems this is the only way we're going to get any information

Not quite relevant, but I was accepted to AZ/FL 2+2 earlier this week, and then I got the email today as well. Was confused to have 2 Mayo acceptances

All the more reason to not believe the emails we got...

That means that the list also includes people who are ACTUALLY accepted too which is kinda good news because I thought we are the people who were gonna be put on the waitlist.

What if it was sent to everyone?

 

[u_raptor]

Some people who have already been accepted didn't get it apparently

 

[Hartroc]

What if it was sent to everyone?

That's the real question here. Did anyone who interviewed not get the email?

 

[TheDataKing]

Mayo is that hot girl that lets you buy her drinks all night at the bar while flirting with you, and then when you ask if they wanna head back to your place they say their boyfriend is coming to pick them up.

this comment is almost as distasteful as Mayo's lack of response

That's really interesting. The mayo students I talked to dd say that the adcom didn't even know what sort of glitch it was

Did u get the email?

 

[tinytrain1]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

Apparently Mayo itself didn't even know what happened in the system (ie, the email may have not been ONLY sent to WL/R's - but also those already accepted, as confirmed by @ddmf20). Which means some of us may get a call after all.

Either way, they need to get their **** together and COMMUNICATE.

 

[gopher1997]

Did u get the email?

no but I didn't apply to Mayo... but this stacked with the Step 1 drama is like an episode of Jersey Shore.

"Welcome back to Jersey Shore: SDN Edition"

 

[bearboi]

when there's been so much drama in the last two days

 

[deleted1023661]

It's been 3 hrs, they should have sent something by now. Their time window to "correct" the error is closing. Idk what they'll do.

Mayo decisions but Everytime someone gets an email only to find their dreams have been crushed it gets faster

 

[deleted972488]

So do we think they’re gonna do something at 5pm central time? I’m in Europe but some things you’ve gotta stay up for

At this point, I wouldn't count on it. It's not worth losing sleep.

 

[deleted1023661]

I mean ar least we dont hve to wait a week for WL or R. They should tell us today if anything. Clearly this year has been odd. I really believe they were gonna make a few calls today and then this happrned.

 

[lanzhou_lamian]

Well, at least they finally sent a communication. But this communication is still *****ic. They have the results and yet still insist on "making appointments through early next week"? People made decisions, possible irreversible ones, based on the first email. People need to know how/if they need to address those decisions. They need an actual decision, not a possible appointment next week. I don't need my "appointment" as a phone call. Just send an email with the actual admissions decision. I sincerely hope this isn't indicative of other processes at this school, because this is unnerving.

Hmm.. I didn't get anything.

 

[deleted1023661]

Can you post what they sent?

 

[lanzhou_lamian]

It said the acceptance was a glitch, the acceptance is revoked, and final status will be released within the next few days.

 

[deleted965528]

Maybe people who went into the portal to accept the offer was not included in the mailing list and did not get that update.

Doesn't that mean that basically if you got that email you're in R or WL?

 

[AmaranthMoor]

In this chaotic mess of a thread
The mob howls and demands Mayo’s head
Could the poor staff not tell?
Did they not know that Hell
Hath no fury like a scorned premed?

 

[vomitcom]

**** this response. It is still extremely cold and really not apologetic at all.

Dear Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine Applicant,

On Thursday, February 13, 2020, you received a letter indicating your appointment to the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine. The letter requested that you accept the offer of the appointment within two weeks.

Due to a technical error the appointment letter was sent to you in error, and Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine hereby withdraws the offer to appoint you to the medical school. We regret that this occurred. The school is still in the process of making appointments through early next week. We will be sure to assist you with any questions or concerns as the situation is corrected. If you have any questions, please contact Zach Huston at 904-953-7897 or Sandy Robinson at 904-953-0557.

In context, they were saying they are sending acceptances through next week

 

[deleted1023661]

[RJGladstone]

In my head I thought there would be way more apologizing. This is a dry as it comes, they really don't give a f***

 

[melonole]

Did anyone call the phone numbers listed?

 

[u_raptor]

....I didn't get it???

Ye i acceptrd and no email

 

[drlarin]

....I didn't get it???

same

 

[koalaburrito]

same

+4

 

[hailbate]

They probably are emailing one by one cause right now everyone in their system is listed as accepted

 

[vomitcom]

I highly encourage us not to read into whether or not we got the recision email. The number of people who are *already* stated that they didn't get it is maybe unrealistically high

 

[Wednesday Elephant]

I've never refreshed my email waiting for a rescinded acceptance email. This is a first
The wait begins... again

 

[DoctorBananas]

I didnt get the email either. What is going on dude!!

 

[u_raptor]

same

THE ENIGMA CONTINUES

will we be accepted? Is it another glitch? What does this all mean? Find out next email on mayo-dropped-the-ball Z

 

[deleted972488]

Acceptance rescinded.

 

[u_raptor]

Jk just got it

 

[sealfriendo]

I didn’t get it either! Or an interview? Or a secondary?!! Wtf mayo??

 

[deleted987519]

Acceptance rescinded

 

[koalaburrito]

Just got it. It's going out slowly to everyone. The professionalism and lack of sympathy exhibited by MAYO is UNACCEPTABLE.
