According to past posts, Mayo does behavioral-style interviewing.
So, we're talking about questions like:
Tell me about a time when you achieved a goal and how you did it.
Tell me about a time when you experienced failure, and how you dealt with it.
Tell me about a time when you had a conflict with a coworker or classmate, and how you handled it.

Might be worth doing a little forum searching; I believe people have discussed Mayo's interview process in the past.

That's what I've been seeing as well. In fact, there's even a whole page dedicated to "Interviews at Mayo" on their website, and it talks a lot about behavioral questions. They are looking for specific examples it seems like! I'm going to be interviewing there in September- pretty nervous!

My freshmen year of college I attended a different 4 year school w/ a different major and received all Bs, so it hardcore brought down my GPA. Ever since I transferred to NIU, I've gotten straight A's. I'm currently retaking Anatomy this summer and I will most likely get an A. I plan on retaking Physiology in the Fall. After that, my only bad pre-req grade would be Statistics, which I got a B- in.
