Have you sent a LO interest or LO intent?

I sent a letter of interest about a week ago, finances is a major factor I need to consider so would be hesitant about a LOI😅

As I'm checking cycletrack, I'm realizing that there is probably 0 chance of getting an interview off of the hold list at this point, is that fair to assume? I know people are like "it's not over until you get the rejection email" but i mean let's be honest with ourselves here, I should probs just expect the reject, correct?

That's my expectation. Has held true for virtually everyone in past years.

For those who interviewed, did Mayo send any swag before the interview? I never received anything but it could be because I was a bit late at changing my mailing address and I think if they did send anything, it would have gotten sent to whoever was living at the apartment I moved out of Lol.

I never got anything. Is that something schools usually do? I would expect that to be more of an acceptance thing.

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

• January 23-24: Admissions committee meets to select initial acceptances and alternate list.
• Starting February 4: Acceptance phone calls begin.
• Starting February 10: Scholarship offers for accepted applicants will be sent via email.
• By February 28: Alternate list offers and initial rejections will be sent via email.

Have people been getting highly ranked emails?

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

Have people been getting highly ranked emails?

A few have been reported but I definitely expected a lot more haha

 

[TheIllustratedMan]

Just received a generic email from Mayo encouraging submission of some kind of interest/intent letter. Not a highly ranked email, I don't think. I absolutely love this school but am hesitant to send a LOIntent given other options. Does anyone know if one is at a large disadvantage if we only send a LOInterest?

 

[scientistabc]

can you get accepted with just a LOInterest (not intent)? seems Mayo really values interest

 

[pdidd3]

Many people got first round acceptances with only interest letters last year. I think in general applicant interest matters more for the alternate list.

You’ll be fine! See below:

To add to this, in my session earlier this week they made a point that they view letters of intent and letters of interest pretty much equal in the first round of acceptances, but not equally if you’re on the waitlist.

 

[TheRealBibFortuna]

Wanted to ask y’all about this part of the email:

“We seek to offer acceptances to individuals who continue to have high interest in MCASOM among other outstanding options”

Would it be appropriate to mention a few of my “outstanding options” in my letter of interest? I normally wouldn’t even consider it but this excerpt stood out to me.

 

[findingdorymed]

Has anyone who interviewed MSTP heard back? They said either yesterday or today

 

[legoss]

can't say i heard of any people reporting FL track Highly Ranked letters. i'd assume its because of such a small sample size?

 

[homersimpsonfan12]

Do we need to submit the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science Scholarship Application if we want to be considered for merit scholarship also, or is that automatic?

 

[doctornugget]

Anyone else having an issue with the scholarship application? The middle name field is required but…I don’t have one. I emailed but haven’t heard back.

Yeah I ended up just writing "none"
Hopefully that's ok haha

 

[doctornugget]

I did that once for a library card applications and they literally put “N/A” as the middle name so I was scared of that. Literally had to use my husband’s name to sign up for my water bill last year because of this issue. Sigh…

I received the same email. Mayo FL is my top choice. Is there value in sending a LOIntent and promising to withdraw from all other applications if accepted? Interviewed 10/3/24.

 

[findingdorymed]

MD/PhD A yesterday! Interviewed last week

If you know mayo is your top school and you would go here if accepted 100%, then yeah put all your cards on the table

 

[wynpalmer]

Thank you. Yes, I am 100% sure that it would be Mayo in FLA, if accepted.
Does anyone know if all Mayo interviewees get the email status update request?

 

[scientistabc]

anyone receive a personalized email from someone at Mayo admissions? unsure what to make of it

I didn't - if you're okay sharing, what was it about? It might've been a highly ranked email!

 

[scientistabc]

i think it was moreso a confirmation of receiving my interest letter. they basically said that they can help answer any questions and to keep Mayo top of mind

 

[Cobie]

I got one from my interviewer but haven’t sent interest letter yet?

 

[TheIllustratedMan]

@avotoast In your interest letter did you specifically mention that Mayo is among your top three? Also, did you keep it purely an interest letter or did you add updates along with it?

 

[scientistabc]

i said "one of my top choices" but i think top 3 works too, included some updates too

 

[wynpalmer]

i said "one of my top choices" but i think top 3 works too, included some updates too

I sent a letter of intent, plus updates. We'll see what happens...

 

[Terminator1134]

Yes, the med students I talked to encouraged to send some sort of letter, but some of them got in without sending anything.

 

[waterdog22]

I also received one, but sent in an interest letter. Not sure if its the "highly ranked" email thats been mentioned... Don't want to get my hopes up just for it to get crushed in a month🧎‍♂️

For the highly ranked email, they will be explicit about it: “I’m letting you know that you were very highly ranked at our admissions committee meeting” (that’s what my physician interviewer wrote to me)

 

[twodozendonuts]

could someone clarify what the “highly ranked” email actually looks like? Cause at first I thought it would be a generic email sent to all highly ranked applicants, but it seems like interviews themselves are reaching out. My interviewer never explicitly said highly ranked but they said that I was “well liked” by the committee and then further talked about how they’ want to know if I continue to be interested in attending mayo. Does this count as a highly ranked email?
