Okay cool, I'll let you know how it goes! I applied on August 11.
Sounds good, thanks! Best of luck
I interviewed with Mayo Clinic yesterday! I thought it went pretty well. We had a Q&A with the program director and the clinical director, and then another Q&A with current students before interviewing.
Glad to hear that it went well! Is Mayo one of your top schools? Also, approximately how long was your interview and did you feel like you were pretty prepared for it?
Yes Mayo is one of my top schools! And the interview was about half an hour, and I felt prepared. I didn't think the questions were difficult at all
I just interviewed with Mayo on Friday. It was a great experience! Before your interview date, they send out information on how they'd like you to respond to their questions. Just follow that general format and I think you'll do great! Good luck!
That is good to know, thanks so much! I’m glad you had a good experience with the interview, hope you get in!

Yes, I heard back yesterday (1 week after my interview). I’m on the waitlist, so not the best, but also not the worst. Best of luck to you on your interview!
Thanks for letting me know. Mayo Clinic is such a competitive program with such a small class size, so getting on the waitlist is an accomplishment in itself. Thanks and good luck with the rest of the app process!

It's a behavioral interview with one faculty member and one second year student. The actual interview portion takes like 30 minutes or so. Just have some stories prepared that you can draw from. They even give you 2 out of 5 questions before the interview, so you can practice those ones. Other than that, I'd just say to try to stay relaxed.

Hello! I was waitlisted too. I can't remember if they said how many are placed on the waitlist. I know they don't rank the waitlist until the spring but I am curious as to how many are placed on the waitlist. Did everyone who had an interview get placed on the waitlist if they weren't offered acceptance?

I don't think they said how many they put on the waitlist, but if it was everyone who gets an interview it could be like 150 people on the waitlist, which seems like a lot. So I don't really know, but I wouldn't think that they would put everyone on there.
I also heard back and got accepted last Friday! Good luck with your interview!

There are the 5 questions that are asked and then it defiantly turns conversational at points! Usually there was a follow up after I was done answering the question.
I agree with what DPTstudent24 said. I was asked specific questions about my responses after I had answered each question, and it got a little conversational. And then when I finished answering the questions I was given an opportunity to ask any other questions I had, so it got conversational with that as well. Good luck!!Congrats DPTstudent 24 and ADPT on your acceptances.
Was the interview strictly behavioral questions and in the question-answer format? Or did it lean towards conversational at times?
Do they give you the 5 questions several days before the interview to practice or the day of the interview?
They send 2 questions about a week prior to the interview
