sandros1 said:Does anyone one know how the Mayo fee ($75) is paid? I believe it is supposed to happen before any phone interview can even be considered. I couldn't find a link on their site. Thanks.

whynot said:When I went to the website, I saw I was selected for a secondary from UCLA, but what is worrisome is I have not received notice of this....had I not checked I would not have known....might there be other secondaries that we are able to fill but are unaware of.
Did this happen to anybody else? What's the deal? And what other schools are having a similar situation?
quantummechanic said:Mayo just sent an email requesting the "secondary" fee ($75.00). Since they do a phone secondary, I don't know how to update the list!

It can't be last name since I'm pretty early in the alphabet. Maybe its by verification time. The AAMC ruins things for me again.![]()

zach1201 said:HAHAHAH, I'm the first to something. Add Mayo to the list.

jackieMD2007 said:Add Mayo where, dear? To the email list? To the mail list? You got an acknowledgement? Be specific!![]()
jackieMD2007 said:For the Mayo one, guys, it is a real secondary or do they just want you to pay $75, and THEN THEY WILL REVIEW your application, and they MIGHT send you a secondary, or what?

Robizzle said:oh man.. u tellin me jackie's losin her touch?
zach1201 said:"Your AMCAS application will be considered within four weeks of receipt of the fee."
Then from the Mayo site:
Well-rounded and qualified applicants are contacted to submit supplemental application materials such as letters of reference, and are invited to schedule a standardized telephone interview with a member of the admissions staff. The telephone interview consists of behavioral-based and experience-related questions and covers a diverse array of candidate attributes.
After that:
The Associate Dean of Student Affairs reviews individual scores from the standardized telephone interview and identifies qualified applicants for on-campus interviews in Rochester, Minnesota.
Hope that answers your questions. Basically it's a pay us $75 fee.

jackieMD2007 said:Well isn't that special. A phone interview, a prelude to the real interview.
I dunno, my school has a pre-med advisor, but not a committee, and the letters the advisor writes aren't composite letters. Personally, I think I'm going to select "other", state that I am sending my advisor's letter but since it isn't a compilation I'm also sending the 2 science/1 non-sci letters.narc said:Hey guys:
For the BU secondary what exactly do they want for this:
" No Health Professions Advisory Committee letter is available to me for the following reason(s) (2000 character limit, approximately 400 words):"
Is a selection from the drop down menu all you need? Or do you actually have to write an explanation. All I would say is that there is no such committee.

Erina said:well apparently Washington University in St. Louis wants to take as much money as they can from people! I just got a letter/brochure in the mail telling me about the "great opportunities" at WashU and that I should apply because of my performance on the April MCAT. I dunno...it's an ego boost to be recruited from them, but is it worth it to spend more money? I'm sure they just sent that to everyone with a certain MCAT score, so I guess I shouldn't feel too special! 😛
