Just got a call from Mayo AZ MSTP with a WL decision. They ask for your interest in the program at this time which “helps them” figure out A’s as they move down the waitlist. Good luck to fellow MSTP applicants!

the wording of their last email made it sound like they will start on the 22nd -- implying it will be done over a few days... given that the class is so small, I don't see why they can't do it all in one day...

we are on the final stretch!

Talked to someone from admissions, and she said acceptance calls will likely go out over the course of several days! Gonna have to force myself not to freak out if I don't hear anything on Monday lol

What do we think the odds are of an A if you didn’t send a letter of intent? Like just a letter of interest or nothing at all. I was initially optimistic, but as Monday gets closer, I am less so. Thoughts?

I think that the only things we can say with at least a little certainty are:

1) A Letter of Intent increases your odds more than a Letter of Interest.
2) A Letter of Interest increases your odds more than if you did nothing.
3) You can still get accepted without either letter.

Honestly anything else is probably just grasping at straws. I don’t think any of us know for sure about exact odds :/

Good luck this week and over the next couple of months as decision come out! We're all in this together, and I wish you all the best!

Just a quick PSA:

There is always so much speculation every year regarding communication from Mayo. I think we have a great opportunity to provide a valuable service to future applicants who may read this thread. If you feel inclined to post on this thread after receiving your decision, I think it would be incredibly helpful if you also included any unsolicited post-II communication that you received from Mayo.

For example:
  • "Highly ranked" emails
  • Messages from student/administrators to set up zoom meetings
  • Communication from your interviewers gauging your interest or simply just following up months later
Also, commenting on whether or not you sent a Letter of Interest or Letter of Intent could be quite useful.

Mayo is pretty unique in that they seem to offer a lot of personalized communication with applicants post-II, some think this is random and some think it is calculated. But by offering this information, I think we can provide a lot of insight to future applicants and perhaps demonstrate that there is or is not any kind of correlation with admissions decisions.

Again, best of luck! :)

Got the acceptance call!!! 😱 If it helps, I got a sort of "highly ranked" email from my interviewer about a month ago as well as an email to set up a Zoom meeting with an administrator from admissions. Sent a letter of interest last month as well. Good luck everyone! Sending positive vibes everyone's way :)

would it be too neurotic to ask for approx first letter of last name for those posting acceptances? i know not all calls will go out today so clarifying what order they're going in might be nice

Got the call this morning!! I am still processing this and I was pretty much babbling during the call bc I gave up hope on Mayo (no post ii communication from interviewers and no highly ranked email).

Does anyone know if they are going to send us an official email or anything with the next steps for pre-matriculation?

Just got the call for acceptance! 2+2 AZ/FL. I sent a letter of intent a couple months after interview and had a meeting with a student administrator. I got a sort of "highly ranked" email about 2 weeks ago from my interviewer. I feel like getting this right before acceptances means you are very likely to be accepted. I also have a strong personal connection to the Jacksonville campus and I'm sure this helped me get in. This was my dream program so I am super excited!

From last year's thread, calls will continue for several days -- also (n=2 lol) but it sounds like they're going in order of interviews! So don't give up hope :) You're all incredible applicants and will be great no matter what happens

Got my acceptance call this morning from my first interviewer. I actually missed his first two calls and had to call back haha.

Post II:
-I sent a LOIntent a week after my interview
-I sent thank you letters to both of my interviewers the same day as my interview
-Received an email from a person from the admission's committee (EDIT: the person was from the admissions office, not the admissions committee) to meet up, I emailed the person back but got no reply lol
-Received an email from one of my interviewers asking if I had any other questions a few weeks ago

LM: 79.5

Just wanted to ask, for other people that got accepted has your admissions portal updated? I saw that one person had their admissions portal update but I'm seeing nothing new.

Good luck all!

Congrats! I also don’t see any changes on my portal so I’m assuming they must be updating things individually for everyone.

If it's any consolation, I interviewed mid-November, had post-II followup, and sent in an LOIntent -- and no call yet :/

Hey, I interviewed the week of November 9th and received an acceptance call this morning around 10 AM PST. I do think it may be interviewer-specific for when calls are going out, rather than in chronological order of when you interviewed.

Accepted! Let's goooooooooooo. I did not receive any email communication from my interviewers or a highly ranked email, but I did receive an email to set up a zoom meeting and sent in a letter of intent in January. For those still waiting to hear back from mayo or other schools I really do hope everything works out for you.
