I feel like it is not marketed enough, but if you are looking for schools that give a lot of both merit based and need based aid definitely apply here. Almost everyone got at least a 25k scholarship, with most students getting significantly more. Your tuition also includes UWorld and essentially all other third party resources. You are given a guaranteed 2k stipend for aways/research travel, a all expenses paid 4 week rotation (rental car, apartment, flight etc) at one of the other two hospitals you are not attending full time, a 3k moving stipend for FL students (for the move to FL), an all expenses paid week in FL before clinicals for the FL students, and much more! So once you are at here there are not many extenuating expenses.

how do you specify AZ vs MN with mayo?

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

how do you specify AZ vs MN with mayo?

in the secondary you choose your track. Can select multiple options with varying preference.

In the Why Mayo essay it asks you to dedicate a few sentences to it as well.

[squid_premed]

!! congratz !! you received an interview for both MN and AZ campuses?

No lol I messed up and originally put this in the wrong thread, just Arizona campus!

 

[econdoc]

@squid_premed Congrats. Within 3 days, you received an interview?? Never seen such a fast turnaround.

 

[goge69]

@squid_premed ayo 3 days??? Wtf did you write LOL

 

[squid_premed]

@econdoc @goge69 right?? I was so shocked. I also kept them waiting like 5 weeks after my secondary invite, so the two-week rule isn't terminal I guess 😶

any slightly low-stat success stories for this school? LM 67 here and am contemplating whether to be delulu and submit this secondary or simply not submit and save the money

 

[bigsteppa3000]

IS II earlier today! Completed 8/4 and LM 78

 

[Monkeymojo]

I just received an OOS II with a LM 70, so definitely worth it if you can make a strong case for the Arizona track.

 

[medschoolapplicant2025]

OOS II Today!

 

[stew_md]

Received hold for possible interview. Does anyone know if that's just basically a rejection?

 

[majestic_chair]

Pre-II hold, LM 77, complete 7/16

Thanks for this advice. Im nontrad ~70 and was putting this off but I feel like I have a really compelling AZ case so I got it on paper and finally submitted the other day after reading your post. Hope its not too late =)

Congrats!

 

[prettyplease12345]

OOS put on hold earlier today

 

[jircd]

II received 8/30. Sent in secondary 7/15. LizzyM 82.7.

 

[RunnerDad]

OOS put on hold earlier today

Is it better to be put on hold, or to have heard nothing at all? I'm guessing the former, but I know nothing.

Im of the opinion that no news > hold > rejection

68.70 URM submitted 8/06 II 9/06 for Arizona track

 

[SkiwiSpooby]

I wonder if there’s a mass rejection wave for Arizona track like that for Minnesota? My mailbox has been crickets and I submitted Mayo on 7/11

You're still in it until they tell you you aren't 🙂

true dat haha.

 

[Backrub]

are there metrics available for AZ campus only? or is it only MN or combined

 

[RunnerDad]

I got nothing. I just asked a similar question on the MN thread, to see if anyone knows what ratio of Rs to Holds there may be. Not sure we'll get a clear answer, but just from these threads it seems there were a whole lot more Rs than Holds

 

[RunnerDad]

IS II yesterday for my kid, off the pre-II Hold list! 👍👍

That is awesome! Hoping for something similar 🤞

 

[deleted1200309]

out of curiosity does anyone know if mayo - arizona is viewed as highly as mayo - minnesota during residency matching? I get the name is the same but wondering more if this campus stulm holds the same weight (through match lists etc) as other t10 institutions?

They are probably comparable. It is Mayo Clinic. Go look up match lists between what schools interest you and let us know?

The only difference so far that might be of note depending on your specialty interest is that AZ doesn't have a psych, peds, or FM
Residency.

I think that's a good thing. No competing with residents and working 1:1 with attending
