Will it improve after few(2to3) yearsIt looks good, but not as good as MN's :

idk to me they seem pretty comparable just given the really small class size. That is, since the number of students is so small, small differences between a couple of residency spots may appear more magnified than they are, when really these differences are just due to the individual students rather than the Az vs Mn campus.It looks good, but not as good as MN's :/
I think interpreting this match list has a lot to do with your career goals in terms of geography. Mayo AZ seems to be a great choice for anyone seeking to match into an excellent residency on the west coast or specifically into a Mayo residency. If your goal is to go to an elite east coast institution like an ivy for residency, it's likely better to go to a great medical school in the east. Obviously there are exceptions to this, even on this match list, but I think that is probably a good rule of thumb. It really follows the conventional wisdom that we already knew.It looks good, but not as good as MN's :/
I’m also on the WL, but it still gives us dates on the WL part of the portal. It says the orientation/first day of class is July 6. Sorry, that may not be the best news for your trip.I'm on the waitlist for Mayo. Does anyone when orientation starts for M1 students? My current choice starts in August, and I want to plan a trip in July, but I'm unsure if I could potentially get off the waitlist for Mayo.
I really don’t think there’s anyway of knowing. We only have historical data and don’t really know what effect COVID-19 will have. Based on the “help me decide X vs. Y” forum, it seems like there are a decent amount of Mayo AZ acceptees that also have offers to other fantastic institutions though. So I think it is realistic to be optimistic about WL movement.Does anyone know how the odds are looking this year for off the WL?
This isn't the type of thread for these sorts of posts. You would get better responses and insight if you post over in the What Are My Chances (WAMC) forum.Hey everyone, I need your advice! I was thinking about applying to NJMS (state school) through the Early Decision process but wasn't sure if I should. With my stats, do you think it would be better for me to apply broadly and hope to get into a "Top 20"? Or do you think a Top 20 isn't a legit possibility and should just apply ED? I love NJMS but I wouldn't mind attending a more prestigious school like Mayo Clinic. Please help me out! Do you think a top 20 shouldn't be a realistic goal with my stats? I'm ORM.

For what it’s worth, with those stats and your research experience I think you have a good shot at a lot of Top 20’s!Hey everyone, I need your advice!

Mostly at the end of the month I'm guessing. Some potentially after the 15th, but when everyone narrows to 1 on April 30th, early May might bring some movement.when do we think WL movement will begin?
I uploaded to the portal - I believe they say somewhere (I can't remember where) that is their preference.Did you email admissions when uploading a LOI, or did you just upload it to the portal?
Yeah, I agree. They said just uploading to the portal was their preference. And they also said in the WL email that "We look for your updates."I uploaded to the portal - I believe they say somewhere (I can't remember where) that is their preference.
Did you get one? Historical precedent shows that that is a really good sign!Did anyone on the waitlist get an email today inquiring about continued interest in Mayo AZ? Not sure if it means anything
I think it’s really just to maximize their admission yield. Same reason why they so strongly solicit letters of intent. They want the closest thing to a guarantee that if they give out an acceptance, the student will absolutely enroll.I also received one! but I was curious to why mayo sends these emails out! I'm probably overthinking it but I was wondering why mayo does this and other schools don't?
congrats!! can I ask if you sent a LOI in before getting this email?I also received one! but I was curious to why mayo sends these emails out! I'm probably overthinking it but I was wondering why mayo does this and other schools don't?
Would you mind elaborating on if the email came from admissions or your interviewers? Did you provide any update after receiving your WL decision?Did anyone on the waitlist get an email today inquiring about continued interest in Mayo AZ? Not sure if it means anything
Also, my email did not say anything about being highly ranked, just asking about my interest.I also received a "still interested?" email this morning. I sent a LOI + update after being placed on the waitlist.
Yep I got one! I sent in a LOI and the email didn't mention anything about highly ranked just gauging interestDid you get one? Historical precedent shows that that is a really good sign!
Also, did the email say you were highly ranked on the waitlist or anything? And had you already sent a LOI before getting this email?
Thank you for the hope! -MN Mayo Fam ❤️Mine was AZ campus specific
Was it specifically for AZ or was it for both campuses?+1 on interest email. Didn't think they were still coming out. Sent an update to them earlier in the year.
Did you get it today?+1 on interest email. Didn't think they were still coming out. Sent an update to them earlier in the year.
Yeah it came today, they seem to be gauging my interest. No mention of my rankingDid you get it today?
And also was it soliciting your interest or did it say they were interested/you were highly ranked?
I'm not sure if it was for both, but I think it's for AZ where I interviewedWas it specifically for AZ or was it for both campuses?
Thanks so much for your answers!Yeah it came today, they seem to be gauging my interest. No mention of my ranking
I'm not sure if it was for both, but I think it's for AZ where I interviewed
No problem, I've been relatively quiet. Only sent the one update before the waitlistThanks so much for your answers!
Had you communicated with them frequently/recently before receiving it?
+1 Interviewed for Arizona, but nothing specific in the email. Sent a letter of continued interest with updates a few days earliergot an email yesterday as well gaging my interest, no mention of my ranking, can't tell if the person is associated with AZ or MN.
note that the email said that the decisions will be coming out over the next couple of months
Congrats!!!+1 Interviewed for Arizona, but nothing specific in the email. Sent a letter of continued interest with updates a few days earlier
Looks like Arizona has had some movement, we’ve had three new people join the Facebook group in the past ~12 hours.Saw some Rochester posts. Any action from my Arizona people?
I feel this heavily! Good lucktrying to stay calm... good luck this week to everyone on the WL!
If there are any SDN-lurkers out there who have gotten A's recently, there are many of us who would REALLY appreciate it if you let us know 🙏 This silence is nerve-racking.Looks like Arizona has had some movement, we’ve had three new people join the Facebook group in the past ~12 hours.
