no one understands the process. x3. Just because Mayo is considered "prestigious" doesn't mean it also isn't located in Rochester, MN. x2 "Ranking" doesn't always equate with competitiveness.
Even though Mayo Rochester's location may be less than ideal, they still invite and match stellar candidates, I wouldn't devalue this person's invite. <-- I don't mean to devalue, but I also think people "overvalue" invites from certain programs.

I'm waiting for the Mayo Rochester trickle post-Thanksgiving because (1) lots of people won't be able to make it during the days with lot of overlap and (2) the applicants are required to submit their interview dates by today
ehh year after year they recruit 3 off the waitlist. Trust the process haha! No biggie just venting

Other interesting facts: accoriding to program information, UTSW interviewed 65 for 9-11 spots, Mayo Rochester interviewed 55 for 8 spots...
<Northwestern may have been really high last year b/c they had A TON (I think 12?) of internal applicants (not including rotators - though rotators don't all get intervews).

look at other programs on there. They all have crazy low step scores reported. No way is the average for NW less than 250. I think programs lie.

<- as a reference, there were about 24-26 interviewees at the nu internal day (home students, away rotators, re applicants, and research fellows)

interviewed here last year and loved it! Great program in a great location, the biggest drawback is that it's a small ;dept and only 2 res per year

didn’t interview at Rochester but it’s for sure not as much of a powerhouse. They do have good faculty and research, lots of support for research and access to Mayo patient databases in the entire Mayo system including Rochester; lots of admin support for research as well, like someone can write and submit your IRB stuff etc. as far as I remember

I've heard that you get your own secretary at Mayo and very little scut. Don't know if true
Rochester MN is about 10-15F colder than Ann Arbor

Have also heard the rumor that Mayo gives more support staff. Rochester is more boring and colder than Ann Arbor with the qualifier that both are cold. Ann Arbor has stuff around it but Rochester is really isolated.

question about the mayo rochester supplement from last month - were we supposed to receive a confirmation of receipt?
0
I feel like this has already been asked before so sorry if this a repeat Q but did U of Rochester send out interview invitations or just rejections?

Can someone with a Mayo Rochester invite take a look to see if any of the IV dates are still unfilled? Seems like there's still a good number of us waiting to hear back.

Finally got that Mayo-Rochester rejection today. Yay

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
Some posts are shown because their comments mention this program.
ha i dont think so, give an example? Example = Mayo Rochester. << this is the best circular logic i've seen in this spreadsheet lmfao <<snowflake wanted mayo interview obvs. <<< Yeah I'm sure they get near top rankings by sifting thru a thin stack compared to Sunny Place St. University. SMH
