(it never hurts to try, though, right?) Did they email it to you? I have been afraid to check my email for fear of having my little bit of hope dashed. Anyway, don't let it get you down, and good luck with the rest of your application process!

it. said:got the rjection via snail mail. and i got over it in a matter of seconds, so i'm cool now i'm just hoping that whatever faults mayo saw get glossed over by other schools, seeing as how mayo has a pretty small class size
owenmichael said:If you look at their site, a quarter of the people that apply get phone interviews..... its weird though becuase the site said:
2300: submit applications
1300: complete applications
something like 300 to 400 get phone interviews
and then 200 something get personal interviews
Mayo's all about the all around package...3.8 GPA and 32 MCAT...
SuzieQ3417 said:I don't understand how out of 2300 submitted applicatons, only 1300 complete them. The only application is the AMCAS, and then you have to pay a fee. Do they mean that out of 2300 nearly half just decide not to send their fee?
owenmichael said:So, maybe that means only 1300 payed the fee, seems unlikely to me?
God I hope I get in there, good luck
Yeah, I don't understand why you wouldn't submit the fee. It was not as pricey as some of the other schools, and it is not like you have to fill out essays or something. Easy...just sign the check.owenmichael said:So, maybe that means only 1300 payed the fee, seems unlikely to me?

Kudos said:I received an email from Mayo a month ago that they received my check, but then nothing more. Do you think that means I've been rejected?

unfrozencaveman said:Guju- any idea about the automatic florida interview thing? You seem to know everything....
This is clearly not true. I haven't heard from them and my number in that formula would be 70. Anyway, that formula weights the MCAT much higher than GPA so I don't think it's realistic (3.5/30 should not equal 2.9/36).sequencer said:ok so the deal is that mayo does a numerical cut off for the phone interview for MOST of the applicants- your MCAT and gpa x10 must add up to a number (i think it's usually in the low 60s)

WiggyUD said:Hi It,
Sorry to hear about the news from Mayo, glad you got over it quickly. I was just wondering what your number would be based on the formula that was mentioned in the other Mayo thread. 10X GPA + MCAT
sequencer said:ok so the deal is that mayo does a numerical cut off for the phone interview for MOST of the applicants- your MCAT and gpa x10 must add up to a number (i think it's usually in the low 60s) if you don't make it there's still hope IF you are from Arizona, Florida or Minnesota where you automatically get the phone interview
so it's all numbers and where you live to start off
gujuDoc said:I'm thinking the same thing. This formula is probably not true.

JustBreathe said:I have a 4.0 gpa and a 38 mcat and I just got my rejection letter from Mayo. It hurts.

TheMightyAngus said:I personally like Lindsay:
"Lindsay epitomizes the selection committee's success. As bubbly as a shaken soda, she seems to have an interest for every bubble in the can. She writes poetry, designs evening fashions for men and women, admires architecture and loves fooling around with car engines -- she misses her 1970 Mustang that has "a 351 engine that I'm really proud of."
Lindsay's favorite sport is shopping, and also maintains her aerobic fitness playing tennis, riding horses and going salsa dancing.
From her first days in medical school, Lindsay feels she made the right decision to come to Mayo.
"My faith in God guides what I do and I knew He meant for me to come here," says Lindsay"
morgan said:I'm sorry. It just goes to show that with such a small class they have to turn away highly qualified people.
That stinks.

unfrozencaveman said:You automatically get a phone interview from those states? Why?
DeadorAlive said:So I guess this confirms that the 10xGPA+MCAT>low60s is bunk? I'm eagerly anticipating my rejection letter today since they confirmed my check long, long ago and I've heard nothing. I'm going to keep telling myself that I was just way, way too normal for Mayo. And that it's cold up there. Brrr.
hildaluc said:sorry, I have to disagree. I am a reapplicant and did not get ANY correspondence from Mayo last year between sending my check and receiving the rejection letter. No phone interview for me! I'm hoping for better luck this year.
bdubz said:Also, I have worked at the Mayo Clinic for a summer internship. It is common knowledge among everyone there that Mayo looks for students that are "a little different", or as my mentor bluntly put it, "eccentric with some kind of life experience like living in as a missionary in a hut in the congo for past twenty years". Don't feel bad if you get rejected by Mayo, they just operate a little differently than other schools.
lexy10 said:i have my phone interview with mayo in about an hour...i was totally, absolutely surprised...I have an excellent gpa (3.95) but my mcat was a 29?! So it shows that it really is (as a friend of mine said) as if they post names on a wall and throw darts.
also, i have no expectation that i will get any further than this interview...which i guess takes the pressure off..

lexy, when was your fee sent/acknowledged?
