1 entry❌1. You have to be one of Mangolds fellows to match here. It is a waste of 1 of 28 applications otherwise. The match history of the last however many years speaks for itself, but a current attending at Mayo AZ said to me (slight paraphrasing) “you just have to do what he says for a year and they’ll take you.”

I have Mayo Arizona and UCLA scheduled for the same day. Thoughts on which I should drop?
Finally got that Mayo-Rochester rejection today. Yay

The Mayo limbo has come to a close. It was fun while it lasted
Anybody in Mayo limbo actually get an IV? Seems like we were all just waiting to be rejected (still waiting but expecting the worst...)
Mayo Waitlist! If anyone has a conflict and is planning on dropping their interview please do so soon :)!! This is my favorite program and it would mean the world to have the opportunity to interview there 🙏
Anybody else still waiting to hear from Mayo?
Finally got my Mayo rejection, was nice to be hopeful while it lasted lol

How far do top programs typically have to go down the rank list? I always feel that people that got invited to harvard will get invited to penn, NYU, Stanford, UCSF, Sinai, NW, Mayo. Can they go all the way to number 30-40 on their rank list because all of the applicants end up being spread out? Unless every applicant that those programs rank to match ranks their respective programs (unlikely) number one, they should go down pretty far.
For anyone who has interviewed at Mayo, did you guys fly straight into Rochester or take the shuttle from minneapolis? It's actually cheaper for me to go straight to Rochester but I've heard thair airport is really unreliable
Long shot but anyone considering dropping Mayo AZ? I know it's the same day as UCLA!
