I have a missed call from Mayo about three hours ago. I got both the deliberations email and likely letter. For those accepted, did you get an email from them yet?

Last year a lot of them were on 1/15, some on 1/16. I haven't looked whether they made appointments prior to those two dates.

Historically, interview season went from August/September to December and maybe early January. A small handful of appointments were made every month or so following Oct 15 while everybody else was put on hold. Half(ish) of the class was full by January and the class was filled in a big wave in January. Waitlist formed and rejections sent thereafter.

Since the pattern was so different last year, I think it will be of less use to predict the pattern this year.

Yes, completely agree, though this is a very messy cycle for Mayo to say the least...

It wouldn't make sense for them to call after 9 PM in a time zone
Guess that's it :/

Yep maybe some more tomorrow. I'm suprised there are no double acceptances between MN and AZ yet.

Based on 8 appointments showing up on SDN for each campus (with SDN being a limited portion of the total applicant pool) and that calls were only made for the second half of today, I'm guessing that they'll be able to finish up all calls tomorrow for the initial round of acceptances. Keeping my fingers crossed, but having interviewed prior to the holidays and not being a recipient of a likely letter or an interest inquiry e-mail, I'm not overly confident.
 
Received a likely letter but no acceptance from Arizona campus (did not interview at the Minnesota campus). I'm abroad though if that makes any difference.
 
Is this going to be like the Jalby Georgetown episode?

What are the chances we get 8 acceptances per campus though?

I know that's my point. What are the chances that there are 8 each and no doubles. Just interesting. I'm not making any assumptions from it.

I am not sure what you're implying, but I wondered if MN and AZ coordinate together to prevent double acceptances, but Gina confirmed today that they are totally independent.

I'm not implying anything that's why I said I'm not making any assumptions from it. Its just an interesting statistic.

With how much Mayo has shown that it cares about yield protection (interest inquiry emails, required letters of interest/intent, etc.), it seems kinda strange that there is no overlap. Of course we have a limited portion of the overall sample, so maybe there is in fact overlap.

Edit: Once again, this is just another case of me not being able to fully comprehend the black-box of medical school admissions.

In all honesty, I think that what you all are calling "likely letters" are not very significant. They were very generic and ad-libbed essentially two personalized words from my application. The emails people are getting asking about continued interest, on the other hand (at least for me), were very personalized and definitely hinted at an acceptance. Regardless of whether you received the emails and letters, everyone needs to relax. If you are destined to get accepted then you will get accepted. Worrying excessively will not improve your chances of getting in.

Tbh, I'm content to just wait and see at this point. All this speculation hasn't helped me very much and frankly, we won't really know the answers to this or most other questions we have. Full disclosure, I interviewed at the very tail end so I don't have letters received/not received to worry about.
 
Yikes, realized I sound kind of rude. What I meant is speculation is stressing me out more than just waiting. Also, counting the "taken" spots is making me happy for others but internally panicking at my decreasing shots lol. But I'm grateful there are others willing to make the data available to all.

from what I can tell, people got accepted either received likely letter or personalized email regarding interest/intent, for those of us, who have not received any communication, the chance to get accepted are much smaller.

Congrats to everyone who was accepted! If you are able to attend second look, I would really recommend it! It helped me make the final decision to choose Mayo.

I'm a little pessimistic aka yesterday was rainbow showers and pixies dancing in a field of flowers and today will be the BRACE YOURSELVES meme.

I was picturing the storm as waiting anxiously with no hope of escape and no shelter with hail raining down upon us. An acceptance would be something like the storm passing over you or finding an underground bunker. At least that's what I thought. You can have whatever analogy you'd like.

Do you think it'd be okay to call and check if there are any more acceptances going out today?

Someone in the AZ thread just said they missed a call from Mayo. I'd say as a rule decisions are still being given until you get an email saying you are accepted, waitlisted or rejected. On a different note if you decide you must call we would love to know any cool new info you might glean from admissions.
