Thanks! I still didnt see it but I went ahead and submitted anyway. The MSTP secondary only had 1 question, so wasn't too bad.
One question in addition to the MD ones or just a single one?

Just a single question. It's a why are you applying to Mayo question. 500 characters.One question in addition to the MD ones or just a single one?
Wait isn’t it 500 words?Just a single question. It's a why are you applying to Mayo question. 500 characters.
However, if u are applying to both MD and MSTP, then you also have to answer the regular MD questions. I'm only applying MSTP.
Wait isn’t it 500 words?
Is anyone still waiting on a MSTP secondary? Got verified 7/23.
Also are the MSTP prompts the same as for MD?
How many have actually submitted? I remember the email saying that the applicant volume has gotten high or something like that, but I'm not sure if that's what its always said or always gonna say.
I am also applying for the MD/PhD, and I don't see anything about a two week timeline in my email either. I submitted about two and a half weeks after I received the email. To be honest, I kind of had given up hope due to the calculus requirement. But, then I received an email saying that the one year of calc is not an absolute requirement. Did you receive the same email?Are u applying MD only? I didn't see anything about 2 weeks in my email. Maybe it's because I'm applying MD/PhD?
I have a year of calculus but yep!I am also applying for the MD/PhD, and I don't see anything about a two week timeline in my email either.

Wondering if it would be worth it for me to fill out and submit secondary with the time it would take and cost of the application. MCAT 519, 4.0 at small liberal arts university. 300+ shadowing hours, 300+ hospital work hours, pharmacy technician. No research experience. In student government and president of my fraternity. Do I have a chance?
I think you have a chance at nearly any school...Wondering if it would be worth it for me to fill out and submit secondary with the time it would take and cost of the application.

what's the MCAT screen cut off?Still waiting on a secondary. I submitted my primary May 31 and was verified same day. MCAT is above their screen. This is my dream school, so I'm getting very anxious. Applying regular MD. Anyone else still waiting?
I think 500what's the MCAT screen cut off?
do they cut off for anything other than GPA or MCAT?I think 500
If thats the case, then I will try and apply, though I'm quite discouraged by the stats on MSAR..... Their mission just fits with me very well and one can easily see that their very holistic application review is representative of their mission.I think 500

it's usually 75Huh, you're right. Did they reduce the class size even more? I thought it was 51 last year at Mayo MN.
I think they accept ~90, but ~50 matriculate.holy cow incoming mayo class is small
Has anyone heard if they have started giving out IIs yet?
does anyone know how serious Mayo is about wanting apps to be submitted within 2 weeks? I got my secondary on July 23rd, but I was on vacation with my fam (literally the most inopportune time EVER for a vacation), and I've been powering through my secondaries but I've also been swamped with final revisions for a manuscript I'm submitting with my mentor. I was going to do Mayo's this week and I didn't see the 2 week thing on Mayo's email until v recently. I feel so neurotic asking this but does anyone think this will negatively impact my app? Or do they just say that for our sake, and don't actually pay attention to how quickly we submit? Would it be a good/bad idea to shoot an email question to the adcom asking whether it will negatively impact my app? I don't want them to think Mayo isn't one of my top choices, bc it is...
They say this in the secondary email: "Due to the highly competitive nature of our program, we strongly suggest that you submit your secondary within two weeks of the invitation or as soon as all designated letters have been uploaded to AMCAS." I can't tell if the connotation is "hey we're expecting you to submit this in 2 weeks bc if you don't we'll see that you might not be as serious as other applicants about going here," or if it's like "hey, heads up, this is a competitive school, so it's in your best interest to be quick"I sent an email last month to their admissions about a relatively minor question and they responded within a few days. They seemed really nice, it can't hurt. They are Minnesotans after all. ;-) Personally, I think a well-written secondary is more important than rushing it out, especially since I've never seen any strict verbiage about a 2 week turnaround time.

Congrats!! LizzyM? Date complete?II!!!! Can’t believe it, I’m so excited!
Also got put on hold. LizzyM > 80, ORM. Still one of my favorite schools!
Sorry I hope this doesn't sound bad but the fact that you got an interview at case and Cleveland clinic and also got on hold hear gives me some hope. Cuz your application must be amazing so kinda makes me feel better that we're not totally out of the game if we're on hold here
