II! Minnesota Complete 7/21
Current M1 here. Frames/science of healthcare delivery is a big one. Selectives are also huge, and we get an incredible amount of free time and flexibility to dedicate to research and career exploration. There's even enough time to do a master's degree if you'd like, and they offer several. Additionally, because of Mayo Clinic's reputation, you'll likely be able to see clinical things here that you won't be able to see anywhere else. The small class sizes are also super small (55 including MD/PhDs), so if that's your thing, then maybe consider discussing that. Other current students might have more to add, but these are my $0.02.Sorry for the lazy question, but what do you guys think are some of the most unique aspects of Mayo? I tried to draft a secondary based on information I found in their website and literally the feedback was that my secondary was such generic trash that it could be applicable to literally any research heavy school.
Do you get a lot of chances to interact with the other campuses / their students?Current M1 here. Frames/science of healthcare delivery is a big one.

Honestly, not a whole lot so far. COVID-willing, I believe that we can do away rotations/selectives at the other campuses, but otherwise, it's just on occasional large Zoom meetings.Do you get a lot of chances to interact with the other campuses / their students?
noI had to reschedule my interview for the 2nd week in October, do yall think this will affect my admission chances?
I wouldn't think so. MCASOM does not use rolling admissions, so your interview date shouldn't affect your odds of acceptance. Additionally, you're human, things happen, and you gave them plenty of notice, so I highly doubt that any reasonable human would hold it against you.I had to reschedule my interview for the 2nd week in October, do yall think this will affect my admission chances?
+3 also OOS. Looks like they sent out a nice wave of holds.+1 OOS, late July
+hold+3 also OOS. Looks like they sent out a nice wave of holds.
Mine was for Rochester.Were any of the holds for the Rochester program?
No hold + no II = not yet reviewed, OR, R, but they aren't sending them out yet. No way to know until they send out Rs, but we do know they cannot possibly be done reviewing all applications yet, so you cannot infer an outcome from the lack of a communication from them!Does no hold + no II == R
Likewise! Complete 8/12. Hopefully, we get some updates soon.Any internationals hear back from Mayo yet? Complete end of July, no hold/R/II from any schools I've applied to. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing.
I guess they're sorting through international apps later in the cycle?Likewise! Complete 8/12. Hopefully, we get some updates soon.
Dont worry same here. International and complete mid-julyI guess they're sorting through international apps later in the cycle?
Could be. Although, I hope not. We are just n=2. I am trying to remain optimistic!I guess they're sorting through international apps later in the cycle?
+1, does anyone know if they actually offer interviews to holds later in the cycle?OOS here, got put on hold (which is considered a soft R, right?), put Rochester as #1
3.9X, 523
I'm currently trying to reschedule! I emailed admissions but have not heard back. Did they get back to you quickly? I haven't officially accepted the III had to reschedule my interview for the 2nd week in October, do yall think this will affect my admission chances?
+1 (I applied MN track only)Just got hit with the R.
Complete 7/29
Same, at least they were “impressed with our background and experiences” thoughJust got hit with the R.
Complete 7/29
It took around 3 days.Has anyone had trouble getting in touch with admissions to reschedule their interview? IDK if my email got lost or something

Yes.Anyone else complete in July and still have no hold or R? Honestly surprised, this is a major reach with my stats
Well, I'd find this plausible, but my MCAT score is the same as yours and they hit me with an R this morning.Yes.
I put some details in the first post to this thread, but it seems that Mayo works through their applications mostly in order of MCAT score.
This is my 3rd time applying and in both prior cycles I didn't hear anything until December. The batches of people responding to the SDN threads at any given time roughly clumped together by MCAT score throughout the last two years.
Also, high mcat here but no R or hold and submitted in julyWell, I'd find this plausible, but my MCAT score is the same as yours and they hit me with an R this morning.
Naturally I don't have an inside look at Mayo's process, but this is a general observation that seemed to track pretty well over the last two years.Well, I'd find this plausible, but my MCAT score is the same as yours and they hit me with an R this morning.
Yes, complete 7/20.Anyone else complete in July and still have no hold or R? Honestly surprised, this is a major reach with my stats
I was complete mid July and haven't heard anything. But my LM is 76 so I'm guessing maybe they just didn't even get to me yet? This is definitely a big reach for me.Anyone else complete in July and still have no hold or R? Honestly surprised, this is a major reach with my stats
+1 complete 07/14. Hang in there, they'll get to us eventuallyI was complete mid July and haven't heard anything. But my LM is 76 so I'm guessing maybe they just didn't even get to me yet? This is definitely a big reach for me.
