Maybe the appointments were picked out today and Marcy will call tomorrow after the interview orientation. So maybe 9 AM?

That's my guess...

 

[pianola]

And something tells me you get in this time around, pianola 😉 so we'll wait till you post about your phone call.

..................

[sigh]

...................

Yeah. I think you know how I feel about the matter...😉

Here's hoping that any of us hear something. We (SDNers) almost didn't hear last time, though, and Mayo's probably accepting even fewer than 7 people this time. thegetupkid only had a few posts. So far he's the only one on SDN accepted out of 7 sent out.

So we'll see what happens. I'm not expecting much especially as I haven't written any kind of letter (at this point).

 

[pianola]

This is madness.

No, you're not allowed to say that until you're on hold until March. THEN you can say it. 😉

True... but I've been stalking the 2008 thread all day, and in their 2nd acceptance release (granted it wasn't until early December...) they had 10 acceptances handed out, and had handed out almost 20 by the holidays... so here's to hoping there will be more?

hmm. Good point. They may want to fill half the class before break or something.

I think we need to retitle this thread "The Speculation Thread" 2009 😛.

Phoenix-
Thanks a lot for your input! I'm glad that I don't have back-to-back interviews after Mayo then! I'll be flying in to Rochester the night before my interview (around 10pm) so I guess that's kind of risky 🙁 but I have an interview the day before ..gah.. Do you know if Dec. 19th is in the middle of your vacation? I have a feeling there aren't going to be many students around to host me that day, although I'd love to stay with a student host.... Thanks again!

Dec. 19th is actually the last day of the next block, which is supposedly a relatively laid back three week block called Physician & Society. Our next selective period starts on Dec. 20th, so some students will likely be going out of town Friday or Saturday to go home or to other cities, but everyone will be around Thursday night and the day of your interview. If you have any problems getting a host or feel inspired to stay with an SDNer just drop me a message. Or if you want to meet up when you're here, I can get on the list to take interviewees to lunch the day you're interviewing or something.

Thanks for the offer, Phoenix. I got those emails, but I actually live in Rochester and have worked at Mayo for a few summers. So if anyone is interested in doing anything while in Rochester, feel free to ask!

You know, if you want to go out to dinner with students the night before your interview, PM me and let me know when you're interviewing and I'll coordinate it so you can meet up with other hosts & interviewees. Or if some other night works for you or you just want to meet up and chat sometime let me know. I live right near the Caribou in front of St. Mary's, and would be happy to meet up there anytime. Especially in December when I'll have lots of free time to babble about Mayo. Not that you don't know everything already being a native Rochestrian and all....

You should be receiving an email from two med students (Paul and Bri) in a couple of days about Mayo's student hosting program.

👍

This is madness.

Just you wait....

And of course, good luck for tomorrow guys! I have no idea if any calls will go out, but if they do, I hope you each get one!

So wouldn't it be better if the curriculum for Anatomy was lengthened a little and the P&S shortened/condensed into more hours per day but 1/2 weeks shorter, or is that not possible due to clinic related stuff?

 

[pianola]

Note: We are officially approaching the last few hours of whatever constitutes "this week"...

Well, it seems like the last time calls went out in the afternoon.

(I have no idea why *I'm* getting all nervous about this).

I wonder if the SDNers accepted from the hold list last year wrote letters (either of interest or of intent) or not. I've decided to hold off on writing any sort of letter for various reasons. I might eventually but not just yet.

if you get a call the only letter you will have to write is "here's my deposit" 🙂

Heh. Heh. I'm entitled to dream, right? 😉😀

Someone (beside me) should call...

Heh, I nominate someone who *isn't* on the hold list...

GloryField? 😉

Seconded...

 

[pianola]

OK, off to class...


See y'all later.

I've learned from two trial and errors that calling Marcy on interview days isn't the most brilliant idea.

 

[Phoenix.]

Sorry guys, but I just asked Marcy, and no calls have been made yet today, nor does it look like there will be any made later today. Most likely, calls will be made on Monday.

I hope you can all enjoy the weekend despite the stress of this process.

Thanks for the info. I figured once it was past 3:30 there wouldn't be calls today. Now I can actually enjoy dinner without anticipating a hold email at 7 PM.

Did you shadow anyone today?

Yay! Thanks for the news, Phoenix.

Don't say sorry... That's good since none of us got a call! Thanks for the news 🙂

Hope everyone has a great and worry-free weekend! I'm off to play in the snow 🙂

 

[bballluvr34]

can someone tell you if they notify you by email if you are rejected pre-secondary/LOR request? i know it's probably SOMEWHERE in all the previous posts...but they are quite numerous! thank you!

 

[SDN2013]

yes by email

 

[bballluvr34]

thanks, gloryfield!

 

[cast128]

Interviewed Today and OMG!!!! Amazing.....I am in total and complete love with MAYO. This wait is going to kill me. But for those waiting for appointments, Marcy told me they would be going out next week right before Thanksgiving. Good luck to everyone that is eligible.

Mayo is magnetic 🙂

So I guess it might not be necessarily on Monday.

 

[pjg]

So I've received an email that said thanks for interviewing. Does that mean I should receive another one saying I have been ranked? If I haven't received that email yet does that mean I would not be in this next round of acceptances?

If you haven't been ranked, you are not eligible for an acceptance yet. It took 3-4 weeks for me to be ranked for what its worth.

I got that email as well a few days after the interview. The ranked email came a few weeks after. Best of luck!

I seriously NEED to stop reading this thread. I might go with all this guessing.

Resisting the temptation to eat cookies: easy.

Resisting the temptation to eat ice cream: still easy.

Resisting the temptation to read Mayo 2009 thread: not so easy.

 

[DoctorDeMan]

I received the call this morning! Anyone else get the great news??

😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Congrats! And nope. I guess the hold email is incoming tonight.

 

[DoctorDeMan]

Thank you! She said that seven offers were going out, so even if you get put on hold there is still plenty of time to get an acceptance!!

 

[Poiu86]

CONGRATS!!!

That's amazing. I haven't heard anything yet, but will now be glued to my phone for the rest of the day....

 

[SDN2013]

Thank you! She said that seven offers were going out, so even if you get put on hold there is still plenty of time to get an acceptance!!

I hope so. 67% left I guess. BTW what time did you receive the call, if it's been a while then I can turn my cellphone back to vibrate. Had a special ringtone all set up....

 

[DoctorDeMan]

Yeah it's been about an hour...

 

[SDN2013]

Yeah it's been about an hour...

Alright, thanks for the info. Congrats again!

Now I just gotta sit back and finally relax I guess. Already did everything I possibly could in the last 7 months, there's nothing more I can do at this point.

 

[Poiu86]

maybe marcy is out running errands and will call more later. Yup. Thats it.

While it's wishful thinking, I just don't see how it's possible. She started calling at around 10 AM. There are only 7 calls so even if it's 4 minutes per call, it would still take less than 30 mins 🙁

 

[pianola]

Hey, you read my mind! 😳

 

[SDN2013]

Just got the email it's timestamped at 11:28

Dear Mayo Medical School Applicant,

On behalf of our Admissions Committee, I would like to thank you for taking the time to visit Mayo Medical School and grant us the opportunity to meet with you and discuss your future career in medicine. I sincerely hope that you enjoyed your time at our school.

Your application is currently on a hold status. The Admissions Committee will continue to periodically review all of our ranked applicants until all interviews are completed. We assure you that you will be notified as soon as action is taken on your application.

We thank you for your patience with this process.


Sincerely,

Patricia A. Barrier, M.D., MPH
Chair, Admissions Committee
Associate Dean of Student Affairs

 

[pianola]

I wish we had a better idea of where we stood on the hold list. 🙁

 

[Poiu86]

Yup, just got it here too. Do they re-review everybody every time acceptances are given out?

 

[SDN2013]

Yea. That's what the email says and Marcy said at orientation, after the hold you can still get appointed later. You won't be re-ranked at a meeting though.

 

[zpiff]

Hold! 🙁

 

[SDN2013]

Hold! 🙁

Wow I just looked at your MDApps, that's an amazing list of interviews and acceptances!

 

[bufnita]

Man, I just got put on hold too! Probably the worst email I've ever gotten. So does anybody have any idea what the possibility of coming of the hold list is?

Umm, at this point, assuming 180 people have been interviewed, approximately:

(42-14) / (180-14)

The 180 number will increase as Mayo interviews more people, so every mon/fri.

This is assuming we are average applicants with average rank.

Hey now, there are 50 overall...maybe some of the people they accepted were for the "other programs" like MD-PhD and that Dental Surgery thing...

So maybe it's 50-14.

And bear in mind, we will be interviewing with about 300 people total before the season's up.
