relax berken bird....ALmost everyone is gonna get rejected from alteast one school, and Mayo is a school that gets some kind of creepy pleasure out of rejecting ppl with high stats.

i never realized that decisions would come so soon! i thought we could sit around for another month before **** actually happens. guess i was wrong there.
 
Great now I am hoping I DONT get email even though I need to get secondaries from 12 more schools. Thx for ruining the fun -_-
 
I got rejected but I cant say I didn't expect it hahaha
 
Oh great, it's starting already? And of course today is the day when I have a 12-hour research day with a patient so I won't be near the computer at all. I can check on my phone, but I'd feel bad for the poor patient when I get my rejection letter- I'd be doing his EKG and all of a sudden rip out his chest hair in anger. Poor guy.

By the way, who else hates ALL other sources of email? I find myself cursing at the screen when I get an email from facebook, or victoria's secret, or iTunes...STOP SENDING ME JUNK MAIL! DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW NERVOUS I GET WHEN I SEE THAT LITTLE (1) NEXT TO MY GMAIL LINK???!!!

feel your pain. I'm working 11 hours today and my company conveniently blocks sites for other e-mails. and my phone doesn't get e-mail.🙁

ahh I get so excited by that (1) too. glad I'm not the only one who gets let down by those junk e-mails.


so has anyone gotten good news from mayo? when I get home and see mayo in my inbox, I don't want all hope to be gone.
 
Aw, bummer guys, that sucks. 🙁 At least they didn't keep you in purgatory I guess...now to wait for my own rejection...
 
Wow, surprised. I guess I assumed that if October 15th was the first day for acceptances, it was also the first day for rejections. 👎
 
hm... now we know that Mayo has been busy sending out rejection emails... but! has anyone gotten a request for LoRs??
 
Just got rejected from Mayo. I have good stats (MCAT 37/GPA 3.9) and strong extracurriculars; don't know what happened. I'm depressed. 🙁

Mayo is the wild card school--im sure the same thing wont happen with frequency everywhere else.
 
When did you send in your $85 LET? It looks like most of these people sent their $$ in and about a week later got the ax. I only sent mine in Monday, so I guess I have a few more days until my letter comes!

Did anyone get the request for LOR's though?
 
No emails from mayo here... it seems like they aren't sending them all at once which makes me nervous. Every time I get an email I freak out...

This is going to be a loooong year!

I sent it in the first day too, 13th maybe? So the ax is coming, or it should be soon.
 
Hey LET, it sounds like maybe you're past the danger zone then! 👍

well one of the guys said he sent in on the 15th, so maybe they are considering us more heavily??

Possible, but not likely in my case haha.

I was on the 14th, so that's my hope. And ditto. 😛

That would be great! But, seriously, don't think about it! Because if a rejection comes, you'll be even more disappointed.

well they have my money too, so throw my name in the mix as well. wait, and wait, and wait, is all we ever do during this process.
 
So, I just realized that Mayo requires one semester of biochemistry, which I never took. I hope that is the reason I was rejected and not because of a bad LOR or something.
 
No, but I think my school just automatically sends my premed committee letter packet to every school that I apply to. So, I'm sure that Mayo has my LORs too.

I haven't had biochem either but I was under the impression that you could still get accepted without it on your transcript but you just have to have it done by matriculation time. Is that right even if you don't have it listed on "future courses" on AMCAS?
 
Cougar, pretty sure you're right, I think that's how it works.

How about we make a list? (please fix the format if it's weird I'm trying to do this on my phone)

The underlined is correct. If you progress to the interview invite, someone in the admissions office will ask you about your timing in taking the class...so no, you do not have to have taken the class before applying...just before matriculating...

any people with rejections want to weigh in so we have an idea where there are in terms of when you sent in your mayo donation?

😀 thanks. I was gonna go with "embraced or spat on" but I thought some crazy SDN'ers might be like "medical schools don't spit on people, just cause you didn't get in it doesn't mean you're not a good person, mayo is crazy...yadda yadda".

So I went the more PG route.

I rather suspect the greater difficulty with "spat upon" is that pretty much no one is going to honestly list it as the "result" of their Mayo app! 😀
 
Got the rejection (or, as Mayo nicely puts it, "not selected") email Wednesday at 2:35 am. It was actually a very nicely worded and positive rejection notice. I never expected to get in, but it was worth a shot. At least it wasn't my first rejection (that honor would go to Indiana University).

Oh booh. Sorry about that. Rochester sounds a little dreary, anyway.
 
I'm sorry chad. 🙁 No word for me yet.
