Just got an email that the admissions committee has determined my score, no mention of being highly scored. End of October interview
 
I believe the score determined emails are separate from the highly ranked emails. It appears that everyone receives the first but not the second. Was not able to get a good feel for the timing of highly ranked emails from last year’s threads, and it seems that the different campuses differ a little in their timing.

What timeline do you guys think we should submit letter interest/intent? Do you think it would be better to do this before we're scored, or closer to decision date maybe end of December or Mid January?

I think I remember them saying at the info session that they like them in December (and I think they said they would even reach out telling us to send them)
 
So are the “highly ranked” emails separate from the general “your score has been determined” emails? Or do high ranked applicants just received one email that says you’re high ranked? Can someone please confirm?

To be honest I didn't even think twice about Mayo back after I sent in the secondary but after the interview I am stoked and over the moon that I've even got a chance of attending this school. My favorite interview of the season ever! Vibed with all the students and everyone was extremely welcoming. The interviewers were super knowledgeable and seemed to have near-memorized my entire primary and secondary prior to the interview. There were absolutely no stress-test-y interaction or questions at all! Just submitted my LOI <3
 
bro based on you and cassidy's comments. did I just have a uniquely trash interview day 😂

my interviewers just asked canned questions from a paper
lmao nah I had the same too, faculty was okay but student interviewer put me in an an oven and cooked me
 
+1 OOS highly ranked email received!! I am beyond grateful to have gotten this email (I almost messed up my 3-hour Immunofluorescence experiment when I read the email lol)
Congrats!! How far a part did you receive the generic “your interview has been evaluated email” and the highly ranked email?
 
Hi All,
Considering Mayo stops sending invites in November, if I haven't received one yet should I assume I've been rejected? TIA 🙂
 
Mayo lowkey cares a lot about dress code (they wear business professional every day in school/clinic also)
This hasn't been true for 4+ years. People wear street clothes during preclinical classes unless a patient is talking to the class. People dress up for clinical things (simulated patients or being in Saint Mary's/Mayo), but I frequently wear a button-down under a sweater + dress pants. No one has ever commented about it aside from compliments. My female classmates often wear blouses with a blazer on top.

Oops my bad! This is what the current students in the student panel Q&A thing said when I interviewed, but nice to know it can be a bit more chill than that!

I think it can be super variable from school to school. I had an absolute stress test at another school and saw people in the thread saying it was the chillest ever, very much seems like a luck of the draw with the interviewers you get!
 
[mention]alehernan017 [/mention]- Congrats on highly ranked email. What campus(es) did you interview for?

Edit: NVM - I see you interviewed for MN 4 year in early October.

I was put on hold at mayo and the email said "no further information is needed from you at this time". Should I still end in an update/interest letter?
 
do you guys think they are sending fewer highly ranked emails? or are people just not posting about it

If the post interview review email just says

“We enjoyed meeting you during your interview experience! Our committee recently met to discuss your interview and determined your committee score. Your score will be taken into consideration when we make acceptances to the incoming class. Initial acceptances are made after all interviews are complete, typically in mid-February.”

Does this mean you were not highly ranked?

Just just got the same email. I think everyone gets this email. The highly ranked email comes later.
