i really wanted to go there because of the hospital and cost, unfortunately I didn't even get the phone interview.

•There are three 'Mayo Clinics'. The original in Rochester, Minnesota and two newer ones: Jacksonville opened in 1986 and Scottsdale in 1987.
The school is in Rochester, Minnesota where you do your first two years. The third/fourth year clerkships can be in a mix of the three locations.
Almost half the class is taken from Minnesota, Arizona, and Florida. However, the majority of these "in-state" students are from Minnesota (all but 4 (2 FL, 2 AZ) of 18 in-state students last year). I think the others don't like the weather in Rochester. The total class is only 42 and that includes 34 MD, 6 MD/PhD, and 2 MD/OMS.
Because the entering class is so small, Mayo accepts the smallest percentage of applicants of any school -- less than 3 percent acceptance rate.•••••
