I always feel kinda pesky contacting the admissions office, but I bit the bullet:
Jane says that the admissions committee meets every Thursday, they try to send out ranking emails the following Monday, and they currently have about a 3-week turnaround time between interviews and rankings. So...
If you interviewed Feb 16-22, your file will probably be reviewed on March 9, and you'll get a ranking email around March 13th.
If you interviewed Feb 23 - March 1, your file will probably be reviewed on March 16, and you'll get a ranking email around March 20th.
If you interviewed March 2 or later, they might either review your file on March 16th or the 23rd, then email you the following Monday.
The plan is that everyone will have been reviewed, ranked, and notified of their admission/rejection/waitlist status by March 30th. They were aiming for March 15th (and Jane didn't actually rule out that possibility), but she made it very clear that they will not fill the class until every candidate has been interviewed and fully considered.
Hi -- I interviewed January 13th, and was ranked in the end of February (the 20th I believe). I doubt I was accepted, as I have not gotten a phone call, but I have not received the "your app is on hold" e-mail that we were so promised 🙂
Anyone from January here anything (either a call or put on hold) yet?
thanks

eachpeach,
We must have interviewed together as I also interviewed on Jan 13th, and so far I have had the same response as you. I believe however one of the other individuals who interviewed with us was accepted, so that may be bad news. I would love to go to Mayo, but happy to have somewhere to go next year for sure! Good Luck.
Today is Thursday! Maybe today is the day that Mayo will review all of our applications and decide their school isn't complete without us.
Best wishes to saluki, owenmichael, yulia, rockhouse, eachpeach, holsinal, paperboy, and anyone else who is still waiting!

Thanks everyone for your posts about what is going on at Mayo in the past. I hadn't heard anything and wanted to know so I called. Thought everyone may be interested in the info.
Cindy said the committee made 5 appointments on Wednesday (3/8). I asked if those appointments made the class about 3/4 full and she agreed. The committee meets every Thursday and will do so until everyone has been considered. However, she thought more appointments may not be made until they have finished ranking everyone. She estimated that would be around the 20th but said it may be sooner or later. At that time we will be notified of our status (accept, reject, waitlist)
I interviewed the last part of January, was ranked the first week of March, and no word since. Given I was ranked, when these last appointments were made suggests I wasn't high enough. Mentioning that, Cindy said there is still hope as everyone is reviewed again when the final appointments are made. I hope, but don't know how lucky I will be. Mayo would be absolutely incredible! 😳

Not to be the grim voice of doom, but when I interviewed they said they had given out 23 spots. If you add five to that, you get 28. 28/34~5/6 not 3/4. Only 6 spots left- that's not even enough for the people waiting on this thread not to mention all the other non SDNers which Mayo seems to love accepting.

Comments like this are NOT appropriate on this forum. Consider yourself warned.Paperboy! said:

yeah you should consider removing the stick from your ass. uh oh, did i just get warned too?
i saw that other post as obvious sarcasm...
Ah, peace is restored. 🙂 For a second there, it looked like things had turned a bit Lord of the Flies over the weekend here on the Mayo board!
Anyway, it seems like there is no news at all so far today.
Is there anyone who hasn't interviewed yet, or is everyone in the post-interview waiting phase now?
For those who are just waiting to hear back, (biting our fingernails and pacing our floors and over-utilizing the emoticon) here's a nonscientific questionnaire I cooked up for the sheer purpose of distracting myself from the wait. If you want to respond to any/all, feel free.
1. From memory, what were the names of the Mayo brothers? (no cheating)
2. Is the Giant Canada Goose population in Rochester a pro or con in your opinion?
3. What was the coolest thing you saw when you toured on your interview day?
4. If there is only one spot left in the incoming class, should it go to you or to someone else?
5. Do you have any interesting lost-on-the-subway-level stories?
6. Did the study lounge in the Mitchell Student Center remind you more of Harry Potter or of Dead Poet's Society?
7. Describe your Mayo visit in five words or less.
8. Rank your humility on a scale of 1 to 10 ... heh, just kidding.

Oh yeah?! Well, not only am I easily a 10 on the humility scale, I'm also perfect in every other conceivable way. And I've come to terms with my mortality, too! Take that!
😉
...oh, and uh, you can still answer the survey. It didn't expire just because sequencer got to it first.
Paperboy! said:
I love you too 😍 However, if you get accepted and I get rejected, Hope2010 may get the Lord of the Flies scenario she's looking for...
Or it may be more like in Dead Poet's Society where the kid has a freakout and repeats his French speech over and over again..
Here are my answers..

William and Charles
2. Is the Giant Canada Goose population in Rochester a pro or con in your opinion?
Definitely a pro... If they'll accept me, I'll happily start a goose watching club. Who's with me?
3. What was the coolest thing you saw when you toured on your interview day?
Sick people- I just love sick people... In seriousness, I loved the chapel in St.Mary's Hospital...
4. If there is only one spot left in the incoming class, should it go to you or to someone else?MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5. Do you have any interesting lost-on-the-subway-level stories?
Didn't have any problems. So, it's obvious I belong there...
6. Did the study lounge in the Mitchell Student Center remind you more of Harry Potter or of Dead Poet's Society?
I guess I'd probably say Harry Potter- it was fabulous!
7. Describe your Mayo visit in five words or less.
Stressful🙂

OHSU baby... wait, I'm not accepted yet there either. Probably the Lower Oakland School of Cosmetology and Medicine. Dare to dream!Saluki said:

Probably Pritzker at this point. How about you?

Cleveland Clinic or Vanderbilt. I'm leaning towards Cleveland Clinic at the moment, but every time I feel almost completely decided someone starts a thread about the prestige of med school and how it's a big deal in getting residencies or how it's really important to go to a school with AOA and grades if you're not going to a top ten and then I start debating Vandy again
I called Jane today because I had not been ranked yet. She said that they have 70 applicants left to do for 5 more slots in the class. They will be done ranking and send out notices by March 31st, which is the new deadline. hope this helps ease some of the anxiety
yulia said:
Technically, only 4 spots remain since one will go to Chuck Norris, of course. 😛
In other news, I got my "ranked" email yesterday afternoon! Huzzah!
ruglazier said:
No, just call them. Sometimes interviewers aren't present for meetings, then they put off ranking your application. It happened to me. You should get a ranked email as soon as your file has been reviewed, and you will know that before they tell you come on over, wait awhile, or thanks for coming out, but no thanks.
ruglazier said:
Not necessarily, but you may want to contact the admissions office to follow up on the status of your file. Perhaps send a brief email to Jane or Cindy just to be sure everything is in order.
And while you're at it, you can also mention that Hope2010 really really really really really really really wants to go to Mayo. 😀 ...after all, Saluki's goose watching club will certainly need a co-founder.
OMG! I just called Jane and she said that everyone has been ranked and they will be making calls to offer acceptances later this afternoon and maybe Monday. People on the alternate list will be notified next week. Good luck everyone!!!
