Yes, on the primary there is only one option to select and that is Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine. On last cycle's secondary, we had the option to rank our preferences for the different programs (AZ 4-year, MN 4-year, AZ/FL 2+2, MN/FL 2+2). They try to respect your preferences for the interview and for admission. So overall, it's only one primary and one secondary for all the programs.
Are you no longer able to be independently excepted to both the Minnesota and Arizona campuses?
As far as i’m aware, no. Since you rank your preferences in a single application, you only get accepted to one of your preferences. And I think they try their best to match you to your top choice.
Interesting. You used to be able to interview at both campuses If I remember correctly. So when we apply, if we select all three, are we applying for 100 seats or are we applying, they match us to a campus, then applying for those 50 seats?
"Applicants must select at least one campus track option. Options ranked will be considered at the time of interview invitation and acceptance." "Applicants who select more than one campus track option will only be invited to interview with one campus, taking into consideration the specific rank of preference. That interview will count as your interview for the other campus tracks that were selected in your secondary application." - per their website.

+1, complete 8/23, accidentally posted on Rochester thread
So happy for you!! Isn't it an amazing feeling?!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I want to be as prepared as possible for my interview
I attended this morning, I strongly recommend all of you attend a session next week. The session was very informative and it's rare to see answers delivered with such clarity and insight.
Yes !
Based off previous year’s thread, it seems like they reject people periodically until final decisions in February.
When did you interview? I haven't heard of anyone getting the committee score email before.
I interviewed 10/12 and received an email yesterday saying “the Admissions committee met recently to discuss your interview and determined your committee score” and something about how it will be taken into consideration for admissions, that admissions are sent in February, and information on how to upload a document.
Congrats! I think i ran into that issue b/c I hadn't uploaded my photo first?
Thank you!! Okay, I don't have a recent headshot so I was going to skip that for now but guess I'll have to submit it first. Thanks for your help!
How would you describe the culture of Mayo at the Arizona campus? Is it high strung/super stress inducing (among faculty and students)?Congrats to everyone who’s gotten an interview! I’m a current student, ask me anything as long as it’s not identifying information
I interviewed this morning and I was told that everyone gets scored by the committee about two weeks after they interview, but I assume they don't always email about that.
So each class has their own culture, but I'd say it's actually relatively chill. It's a highly motivated group of people so everyone studies hard (and of course it is medical school), but it's also an incredibly collaborative and supportive environment. My classmates are always sharing notes and going above and beyond to help each other out. Everyone's just SO nice. For the most part, it's the same for faculty - they've been nothing but kind, helpful, and patient with me. Honestly we've probably been spoiled lol.
That’s amazing to hear and I’m so glad you’re happy!!! Thank you for your insight!
God this makes me paranoid. My head instantly went, “they only emailed you because it was THAT bad and now they’re warning you.” Great.
No need to stress! It sounds like everyone gets a score email. I'd recommend checking out the 4th page of last year's Mayo AZ thread that might make you feel better.
You've got this!
Also if anyone knows the dress code for the Monday session??
