MSAR says Mayo extends 500 interview offers for 43 spots. Sounds like a pretty low chance to make a trip to Rochester.

I'm pretty sure it's 500 offers to fill out the secondary form, the actual number of interviews is more like 125 I think for 42 spots (MD only this year).

I'm pretty sure the number of interview slots is 250-300 for 42 MD positions. At the interview, they quoted like 270 interviews last year, but I'm not sure if they were all MD-only or some were MD PhD.

Errr...then you cut the applicant pool in half as well? This makes no sense?

According to US News, last year Mayo interviewed 329 people and accepted 70; 43 enrolled.
