^^^^ What they said.

On top of all that, the Mayo Clinic appears to genuinely believe and support the pursuit of quality, ethical, and responsible medicine while placing less focus on the monetary aspects (which, as I understand it, they are able to do more easily than other institutions because they are a closed system). This school, in my eyes, really does represent everything in medicine that makes me want to be a physician. So yeah, the Mayo Clinic SOM is my dream school for a lot of reasons, but the top reason is that they seem to be one of the last vestiges of medicine, in our screwed up health care system, more focused on patient outcomes than on profits.

???

How can you form that conclusion with their new medicaid policies?

Though I am always open to educated and insightful debate, you and I have been down this road already. I will not waste everyone else's time with rehashing the regrettable reality that is our health care system.

I can answer that with one phrase, "VA Healthcare System." This is precisely why I want to work with the VA to provide a higher level of care than I have recieved.

This may have been answered before but does anyone know from past experiences or anecdotal evidence of what being silent for a while means. I'm not sure whether Mayo thinks I'm not as competitive as other applicants or they haven't seen me yet or if they just take a while to review each applicant due to their holistic review. I honestly can't tell because people have had IIs fairly soon while others took a while to get.

Also on hold, complete mid/late July, LizzyM 77-79. I really like this school so a little bit sad.
 
Did you guys get the on hold email today? I’m still radio silent. Complete early August.
 
On hold complete 7/15. My heart is hurt.

Yes, I believe so. However, I think my diversity essay was weaker b/c Mayo Clinic was one of my earlier submissions, and I wasn't really happy with my diversity essay until maybe mid August :/.

Well, all I can do is just chug along, I guess.

With a LizzyM score in the range of 77-79, I'm sure you will have plenty of other II's! Best of Luck!
 
Before diving into the Deep web that is the previous cycle thread, does anyone know what proportion gets put on hold for an interview and actually get one?

Thanks

Last year, from what I gather, the application process was a bit different, so I'm not sure if people were told they were on hold or the school stayed silent. This would be a great fact finding mission for someone to take.

I don't know what proportion, but I do know of this happening. So, being on hold isn't necessarily the end. Good Luck!

On hold today, complete 7/17 LizzyM 83.5. I love Mayo (having grown up in MN) and it was a bit of a pipe dream but still stings to get that email. Oh well, best of luck to everyone else! It's an awesome school and they'll be lucky to get some of you guys in their class.
 
Seeing all these people with various LizzyMs getting put on hold makes me wonder what a person needs to do to warrant an II. I'm wondering what's the "Mayo" factor that those who get IIs are blessed with.

So...quick question here for current Mayo students.

It seems like the overall consensus is to 1) apply early (submit primary in June-July at latest).
And then Mayo's guideline is to submit within 2 weeks of receiving their secondary (if following step 1, this is received LATEST July 31st).
So, following the 2 week guideline, submission of secondaries must occur around August 15-20th (even giving yourself a few days off the 2 week deadline).

Has anyone been accepted after submitting their secondary in September, October, or (dare say) November?

This is a hugeeee relief. Congrats btw! I'm on about the same timeline and was worried submitting after a month would be fatal. Would you mind sharing your stats?
 
Just got an II!!! Complete 8/13. I am so pumped and humbled.

No, I am going to take a new pic tonight, gotta trim the beard and put on a shirt and tie. The one I've been using for other schools is me in a polo.

I can get on board with that. My beard is rather patchy though. It looks like someone shaved a cat and then glued the fur on my face. Thus, I think shaving may be in order, at least for me.

We don’t know yet. Neither one of us have uploaded a photo yet, which you need to do prior to them showing available dates.

Well, for me, I am Russian Orthodox and my beard is a religious symbol so I don't really have a choice to shave. Lol

If they wanted to reject someone, they would just send a rejection (they've already rejected many this cycle). We're in interview purgatory. Not loved enough to get an outright interview, but not hated enough to get outright rejected. The sloppy seconds of applicants. To be clear, I'm perfectly content with being sloppy seconds :)
