You know, I’m going to have to respectfully disagree. I am fortunate enough to have some great other options, but I think it’s bad taste to tell people they don’t deserve to be upset after being erroneous accepted to their dream school. No matter how good their backup is.Mayo is an amazing program; however, it is difficult to lend too much pity to those who were erroneously accepted here but were genuinely accepted to other, amazingly out-of-reach for most, T-10 programs. When your backup schools are Northwestern and Stanford, you'll find a way to push through this mishap.
Ughhhh I don’t even want to pick up the phone if they callJust got the apology call. Was told I'm on the WL
Some of us dont have back ups, withdrew from.other schools, or had mayo as our #1. Its a bit unsympathetic towards those people. The vast majority of applicants dont have mutiole t10 As.Mayo is an amazing program; however, it is difficult to lend too much pity to those who were erroneously accepted here but were genuinely accepted to other, amazingly out-of-reach for most, T-10 programs.

+1Just got the apology call. Was told I'm on the WL
To be completely fair. On the call they said if you had withdrawn from other schools bc of the notification, or something else happened, they were willing to help.
Wait were you told alternative list or high priority specifically?Same. Just got told I’m on the high priority WL.
What can they even do?? That’s such a jokeGot the call, I’m on the WL. Student was very apologetic and asked whether I’d made any decisions at other schools regarding this and if so, they’d be doing everything to rectify the situation. What a day.
I was told high priority. And he said it’s about 30-50% chance getting off of it.Wait were you told alternative list or high priority specifically?
Interesting I was told the same just without "high priority" unless I missed itI was told high priority. And he said it’s about 30-50% chance getting off of it.

I'm starting to think the "high priority" may just be variation in wording bw callers if several of us got the 1/3-1/2 thing without the high priority part?
So are they just WLing everyone? (I got the "half our class gets off wait list" . That doesn't necessarily mean 50% chance of getting off WL tho

I second this was told the same thingI'm starting to think the "high priority" may just be variation in wording bw callers if several of us got the 1/3-1/2 thing without the high priority part?
Was called by a Phoenix area code, didn't answer. Left a voicemail and I was WL'd, also told the 30-50% thing and I got a highly interested email. Good luck all!
Correct! Talk about mixed signals lol. I'm not tripping though.Wow, you received an email directly from your interviewer as well, right?

It's just manipulative...Correct! Talk about mixed signals lol. I'm not tripping though.
Mine said 30-50% of the class comes off the alternate list. I wonder if someone misspoke to one of usI was told high priority. And he said it’s about 30-50% chance getting off of it.
I was told to contact the admissions officeDid anyone who was called get the phone # from their caller that they said we could use if we had questions/concerns? You can PM me if you want
So does this all acceptances have likely already gone out?
Yes. It is. I am fortunate to have other options, but I feel bad for others who might not have them.It's just manipulative...
I still can’t believe their admissions office didn’t realize what had happened until people started posting on SDN. What if people didn’t share their acceptances here? Would 600 people have just shown up to orientation before they figured out something went wrong? How incredibly disorganized... if y’all are paying $100 to have your apps reviewed, some basic QC should be expectedYes. It is. I am fortunate to have other options, but I feel bad for others who might not have them.
I think people just misheard. It was that amount of the class comes from WL, not a 50% chance lolCalled— WL (like everyone loll) was also told “1/3-1/2” of the class comes off the waitlist but not that there was 1/3-1/2 chance that I am getting off it
