Yes, it was an email from Mayo's recruitment office inviting me to attend their med school app info webinars. That was the subject lineLol was this in an email? If so I did not receive it
Did u get a highly ranked email too?
Oh hm, I didn't receive that email
Nope I got nothing from no one post-interview. MN campus, 4yr track
Maybe it could do with a separate email list they've compiled in the past for general recruitment - have you registered for one of their med school info session webinars at any point?
Nope!
That would make a lot of sense - I didn’t get the email & also did not do a 1 on 1 session!
I noticed that decision day is also on presidents day, do they typically make calls on holidays?
Doubt it. Universities typically don't do any work on holidays. However with Mayo not being the typical university maybe this is different.
My university has classes/business as usual on President's day... so there's that
Ditto, our Admission Office works on President's Day and it's notoriously busy as fk. I don't even know which presidents we're celebrating and it better not be all of them
That’s including people off the waitlist too lmao.
AND they have crazy WL movement. I wouldn't be surprised if their interview -> A rate was like 12.5% and the interview -> WL -> A rate was also 12.5%.
I imagine sending a letter of intent increases those chances dramatically. Judging by your name, I assume you must have sent one?
I imagine you’re right and yeah I did send a letter of intent!
They can at least distinguish letters of intent vs interest. Plenty like myself chose to send interest instead of intent, so you're already in a higher tier for them.
This is true, although most students accepted first round don’t submit a letter of intent, atleast historically, hence the large amount of WL movement(assuming people follow through w their letters).
From past threads the answer is yes and the last calls are typically made Friday of the week of A's and they can happen at any time (morning and even night time, like 8:30 pm cst)
Just want to add that I went through the threads too and this seems to be the case to me as well.
God is more likely to give me a pre-II A for Heaven than me getting into Mayo with these chances
As far as I remember, the letters aren't binding at Mayo from what they said in their email. However, if you have gotten into a school you prefer more than Mayo, you could consider withdrawing to give others a better chance
I'm very old school, so I value etiquette. But this is water under the bridge. Leave it alone and see what happens.
Lol, this is amazing. However, remember is going to get in, so why can't that person be you?
n=1 but I did receive an email from Case Western (or Northwestern? One of them westerners lol) last week inviting me to take one of their master's programs, and then I go the R this week.
Indeed. Here goes nothin’. Fingers crossed for us all!
Good to know.
Congrats! Any letter of intent or likely letter?
Got the call for FL also! No high rank but sent LOI
LOI = Letter of Interest OR Letter of Intent? How are you using the acronym? This question is for future generations (and me...)
I got the “highly impressed” email and I also sent a letter of intent. Didn’t say anything binding in the LOI though, just that they were my top choice.
Intent but sent it in early Dec
Super congrats to you and all that get the As today!
anecdotally I think last year I saw MN calls go out in the afternoon
