2020-2021 Mayo Clinic (Alix), Arizona

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Did anyone who interviewed for 2+2 receive an email?
 
Does anyone know if Mayo Clinic sends you separate emails if you're also being considered for the Minnesota campus? I'm annoyed at myself because after some more thought I don't think I am well suited for the heat in Phoenix (I run hot, grew up on the east coast, and went to school in the midwest lol)and I kind of wish I had put Minnesota first in my ranking. So I just wanted to know if I at least still have a chance of getting into the Minnesota campus.
 
How soon before the interview day did you get confirmation of the date? I requested my date about a week or two ago.
 
got mine a week before the interview, 3 weeks after i had req'd it
Well, that isn't ideal, lol. I wonder if people generally get the slot they requested? I need to give two weeks' notice to take off work.
 
Nope -- what kind of zoom session are they asking you to schedule?
Sorry I saw this late! Here is the main text of the email:

“I am an administrator within the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine admissions office. My job is primarily meeting with students who have completed interviews with the school and acting as a point of contact about student life, research opportunities, and any other questions you may have about our program. I would love to schedule a phone call or zoom session to get to know you and help you through this important phase in your life. Please let me know when you are available in the next two to three weeks so we can schedule an informal introduction.”
 
+1 no email interviewed early Nov and sent a LOI, but it seems like the zoom session would probably be a good indicator if anything considering some of the people invited also received "highly ranked" emails
I wouldnt be so sure about this. The wording of the email (see above) seems to indicate its for all interviewees, and also my interview performance was complete dog dookie lol. Question: have highly ranked emails gone out for Mayo AZ?

Thanks for sharing!
 
Hey everyone! I just completed my interview and was wondering how long it took for people to get the highly ranked email? Also, did all of these people do letters of intent (vs Letters of interest)?

I didn't even know people got the highly ranked email this year? Did anyone report having gotten it?
 
After my interview, I got a "ranked" email but not "highly"... guess I'm getting the R or WL

Don't worry, everyone is supposed to get this email! I didn't get mine yet and it's been almost 1.5 months so that sucks, but it's a routine email and absolutely does not mean that you're for sure R/WL!
 
Everyone that interviews will eventually be scored, right?

At this point I think there may just be a chunk of interviewees who admin forgot to send the email to. I interviewed mid-Nov and my student interviewer said they meet within a couple weeks to score after the interview, but I haven’t gotten the email about being scored yet. I know there are others in the same boat as me, yet there are others who have interviewed later who did get the scored email. I don’t think it’s too big of a deal tbh
Edit: Yes, everyone will be scored. But perhaps there may be some who admin forgot to notify
 
Do you think it's a good/bad idea to send in unofficial transcripts post-II? Or should we just play the waiting game rn?
 
Not that it matters that much, but I remember hearing that at least one of the Mayo campuses sent a gift to their interviewees in the mail. Anyone know anything about that for Mayo - AZ?

I interviewed with the AZ campus during the first week of December and got a box with a cup and a book about three weeks later
 
I have an interview coming up. I have had relatively "standard" interviews to this point. Is there anything I should know about Mayo's approach to interviews that you found unique? Asking any students that might be around or recent interviewees. Thanks.
interviewed back in December -- it was pretty conversational... just review your app and you should be fine.. good luck!
 
Does Mayo Clinic (arizona campus) also do the rank emails? Have people received any so far?
 
I was able to schedule a zoom session as well. It took almost a week to get it set up.

From what I've seen, no one on either sub has received it. Maybe they just aren't sending them out this year?

Some people on the Minnesota thread did receive the highly ranked email. Their posts may not be on the latest page though.
