Would it be bad to do both, just wanted to follow up with the interviewer and wanna make sure they are able to read it?

I don’t see a problem with both, but your interviewer will definitely read what you upload to the portal!

 

[beanie12]

They want it in the portal so that it can be taken into consideration!

Got an email letting me know that the adcoms have discussed my application post-interview, assigned me a score, and will let me know in February. Probably just keeping us updated but I thought I’d post since nobody has else has mentioned it yet

Same, that email is kind of intimidating!

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

Do you guys have any idea when the first round of acceptances is? Is February the earliest?

February 19th was the earliest acceptance last year. It’s going to be a while, unfortunately!

 

[TheRealBibFortuna]

This score thing is interesting, what was the time between your interview and the email?

Mine was 9 days. The score thing is pretty standard for schools with non-rolling admissions. It’s the best way to keep things fair for people that interview later.

got that sweet sweet mayo pre-II R 🖖

ngl this one hurt my feelings HAHAHA

 

[Griphook]

Got the pre-II rejection. Wish I was not so sad about this one

[southerncar]

nothing here...complete 7/31

Nothing means good actually. Complete 8/29 but got hold quickly, then no point to get reviewed in a rush

IS pre-II hold today. Does anyone know if people who have been put on hold have gotten in in previous years?

 

[12509T]

OOS pre-II hold just now. Complete 8/1

@RunnerDad ‘s son got a II after being put on hold! For AZ

 

[TheHelper74]

Take a look at last year’s thread.

IS pre-II hold today. Does anyone know if people who have been put on hold have gotten in in previous years?

+1 complete 8/16, LM 74ish

 

[med2424]

I got an II today, and it is asking me to upload a 2"x2" headshot. Does anyone know or confirmed if it has to actually be 2"x2" (like does it have to show up as 2"x2" on paper) or is it ok if it is just a square?
If it has to be literally 2"x2" how do I go about doing that lol. I'm worried if it's too small it'll be blurry

On my other secondaries I've just been uploading a square image but now I realize it is not literally 2"x2" but it looks fine on the portal.

Edit: by the way I submitted 9/7 and LM 75

 

[med2424]

Mine ended up being gigantic I hope it's not a big issue.

Ok same haha hopefully it's ok

 

[med2424]

Also does anyone who got an II not see a single date available?

 

[wuuuushhh]

OOS II for Florida campus!


The email I got didn't say anything about the first two years, does anyone have any info on when they let you know if you're being considered for AZ or MN in the pre-clinical years?

 

[banananabread]

does Mayo still do stress interviews?

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

does Mayo still do stress interviews?

Not in my experience!

 

[thunderlight8]

what are stress interviews? all my interviews seem like stress interviews🙁

 

[deleted1116227]

same here, I felt like mine was decently stressful. person kept on asking follow-ups on my responses

An example of a stress interview would be your interviewer asking you an ethical question and passionately disagreeing with every aspect of your answer, demanding you explain and switch to their viewpoint. Another example would be your interviewer outright saying they don’t think you are qualified to be a doctor, and that your experiences are not sufficient.

They are designed to make you feel bad and put you in a challenging situation to see how you react.

I was also curious about this! I reached out and they said to assume it's based off your first choice. So if MN/FL was your first choice and then AZ/FL, assume MN 🙂

 

[Yirureg]

Has anyone heard back for MD/PhD yet? CycleTrack shows that no one has heard back yet, but that seems odd considering they sent a lot of interview invites in September last year.

I’m also still waiting. Their MSTP website indicates that this year they will start sending IIs in early October, so they will probably start sending them soon.

 

[deleted1116227]

that interview follow-up email scared me lmao

 

[TheHelper74]

that interview follow-up email scared me lmao

How so?

 

[Studiosssss]

Should I send in an update letter if I was complete 8/6 and still haven't heard back? I have some awards and publications to report but not sure if I should wait longer

 

[TheRealBibFortuna]

Same, that email is kind of intimidating!

that interview follow-up email scared me lmao

Just learned about the "highly ranked" emails they historically start sending out in November. I wonder if the emails we got are a new substitution to avoid feeding neuroses.

 

[TheRealBibFortuna]

im sorry what xD

tf is a "highly ranked" email

Apparently last year they sent out emails to applicants post-interview letting them know that the admissions committee assigned them a high score and encouraging them to submit LOIs. Some people that got the email got waitlisted, and others that didn't get the email got an A, but it seemed to predict As fairly well. There's more info in last year's thread, but I think they started sending them in November.

 

[deleted1194639]

Is everyone guaranteed to receive either a II or Pre-II hold or R? Or is it possible that you literally won't get anything until March 1st?

I wish I knew... cycle track has a few more mass rejection waves in November according to last year, so I hope we get an update at some point. I am low stat for them so don't know why they haven't ripped the bandaid off. Still complete radio silence here (secondary submitted 8/1) (and at case western (submitted 7/18)). Starting to lose my mind im not gonna lie

 

[orangechicken77]

+1 OOS II to Minnesota Campus on 10/21!

App complete on 8/10 (LM 75)

 

[deleted1197304]

Anyone else still not heard anything :/ 7/26 complete

 

[Basalganglia4life]

Anyone else still not heard anything :/ 7/26 complete

I feel like a lot of people are in this position

 

[cinnamonmocha]

Ok ik this is an insane question but: since the interview dress code is "business professional," do you think the interviewers will view me negatively if I wear just a blouse but not a suit jacket 😭

id like to think people won't judge your efficacy to be a doctor based on whether or not you wear a suit jacket, but it can never hurt in these interviews to be over dressed

 

[beanie12]

Mayo lowkey cares a lot about dress code (they wear business professional every day in school/clinic also), so if you have a suit jacket I would wear it. Agree that it should not matter but I personally wouldn’t take the chance if you have the option!

 

[Tonkad5]

Should I send a thank-you letter to my interviewer via email in addition to uploading them on the portal?

 

[TheHelper74]

[mention]Tonkad5 [/mention]

They specifically ask for letters to be added to the portal so they can easily be added to your file.

 

[banananabread]

Wait what if we already emailed 😭 should I upload too

 

[Tonkad5]

Yes

They have a specific document upload called thank you letters.

 

[banananabread]

Are yall writing like full on letters? Or just brief thank you messages...

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

A few sentences is all that’s needed. Too much is a negative!
