in the email, do they give you your ranking?
Nope, no ranking. Not even if you call. Anyway, I believe that it's just an internal ranking, so don't think of it as a ranking system like other schools have, where they know you're in the top third, etc. Given Mayo's desire to make up a small but diverse class, I recall them saying that it's not a pure numbers-ranking system. I.e., even if someone has been assigned a higher number than you, you may get an acceptance first based on other factors. And to the best of my knowledge (which may be completely off), the ranking is more like everyone getting assigned a number somewhere between 1 and 5. So don't sweat it.
From 2009-2010 MSAR
Total interviewed: 295
Total matriculated: 42
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and had some questions regarding Mayo. I just recently received an invitation to interview and was wondering how many people are typically interviewed/and how many are offered acceptances? Also, there seems to be a lot of interest surrounding Mayo on this forum. Can somebody explain the greatest strengths of this program? (maybe a current student).
Thanks for all the info guys, I appreciate it. Those numbers are pretty crazy, 42 of 50 people who are accepted matriculate? That's insane! 80%+ matriculation rate, wow. I'm pretty sure the very best schools (by rank) such as Harvard, JHU, UCSF etc are around 50/60 percent.
I've done a lot of research on Mayo it seems amazzzzzing. Never been to Minnesota, but hey there's a first time for everything.
Not quite. 42 is the class size. Say they accept 50 people and waitlist 25 people. If 29 of those 50 accepted decide to matriculate elsewhere, and 21 people actually matriculate, then Mayo can pull 21 off their waitlist. Correct me if I'm wrong guys.
Also, last year they increased the MD class size by 8 spots.
So it will still be 42 in the class of 2013, Phoenix? Or do you happen to know?
[Thanks for sharing the info 🙂.]


For those of you eager for news, no acceptances have gone out yet, but there should be some news for a few lucky souls later today. I'm guessing perhaps 5-7 acceptances might go out today.![]()

Can you tell us when they have gone out!? I've been reviewed and I'm anxiously playing the waiting game hoping to get the call. My phone just rang and it was my mother, I got so excited but when then I realized it was only her. I want to hear Marcy on the other line!
Is it...too late? 🙁

let's just hope they are waiting until tmrw... I want the call so bad! When did you interview?
I got about 30min of sleep last night because I was so anxious to hopefully hear something back today!! It's already past 5pm though... Anyone with any luck today or are we all going to have to anxiously await/pray for a phone call for one more day? 🙁
PS. Pursuant to your suggestion, QBW, I did a little housecleaning on that acceptance thread 😉
! That's awesome! Thank you!! That made me so nervous when I saw that person on there! That was not very nice of them!! I wanted to remove them myself but I kinda felt bad... Glad you were all over it though! Hope to meet you at Mayo orientation next year! Good luck to you (and everyone else on this thread!)! 
Wish me luck...

*ANXIETY*
So I interviewed and got the whole ranking e-mail dealie yesterday. Today, when I was away from my phone, Marcy called and left a voicemail saying to call her back for an update on my file...
I didn't get the message until now and the office is closed!!!
ahhh @#$#$%@%@
Wish me luck...

Ooi...chances are looking slimmer and slimmer after that last post...I wonder if they'll at least tell us where we are on the waitlist...or, if we're outright rejected.
Sigh 🙁
Phoenix...any recommendations for a hold? 🙁
