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!

Hi all, I am a current senior resident (graduate in June) at Mayo Rochester. I just wanted to share an experience as you consider programs. I reached out to one of our PDs for input on boards studying and creating a schedule. PD took the time to review my scores on exams and qbank and created a personalized board studying schedule for me tailored by topic. That is the kind of dedication and commitment you will get here from the faculty. As I am graduating, I have no investment in whether you rank us highly or not, but I just wanted to share that experience while you are considering programs. The program has prepared us well clinically to face what comes our way after graduation. Best of luck to all of you ranking and considering options. You will all do great!
What are the reputations of the non-rochester mayo programs?
To PDs: I am much more inclined to like your program if I have a pleasant interview experience, especially this year when we have no other interaction with you! x10000001< which program are you referring to> not OP but I imagine mayo rochester x3
My Mayo Rochester people - anyone receive a personalized schedule yet?
another question on that note--let's say I'm interviewing at a program with both categorical and advanced spots (like ohio state, indiana, mayo rochester, etc.)--if it's a huge priority for me to spend my prelim year with my SO/family/whatever, can I rank the advanced spot high and the categorical spot low? <Nobody sees your rank list, you can do whatever you want
anyone heard from mayo rochester if you weren't rejected?
