3 entries❌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.”
💬1. They do interivew non-signalers occasionally > yea but i think they do this because their spots are already filled internally haha
💬1. They seem to only match random name schools since noone wants to live here lol. Great training and instituion though, but def rank other similar reputation programs higher.

how are people thinking about cost of living? so hard to decide where to rank places like SF especially with a kid vs cheap places like Mayo/WUSTL/Duke

does the interview really change anything? i was under the impression we are generally pre-ranked anyways.... <we might be pre-ranked to a certain extent. Already had a derm interview. PD said they love me and would match me right away. Told my classmate he would be a good fit < dude we can't trust PD's, they just want everyone to rank them #1 lol < Don't forget the shitshow that was Mayo "ranking" and love letters when we applied to med school. Don't trust anyone. <ooo spill the tea? didn't apply there for med school < A bunch of applicants received letters after the interview stating that we would be "ranked highly" while implicitly soliciting letters of intent from applicants. Most took this as a sign that we would be accepted (with many of those individuals being told they would be accepted during the interview itself). Then, approx 80% of those people were outright rejected from both mayo campuses based on SDN statistics.

For those applying mayo rochester, if we only want to match into the advanced program and not the categorical, we should only add the advanced program to our rank list correct? It will not increase my chace of matching overall if I add them both right>? Thank you!
