Mayo Clinic

Very positive experience. While my faculty members were cool, it was meeting with the current students that made mayo stand out significantly compared to other schools. The students really felt fulfilled, supported and happy!

VERY relaxed, friendly, & conversational. Super low-stress. I promise

The interviews were both very chill -- I didn't need to worry so much

Nothing really

Mayo seems like an amazing school -- everyone I spoke to over the interview week seemed to be absolutely in love with the entire Mayo system and think it's the absolute best, and many of them had intentionally come to Mayo after being at other top schools.

Re-read primary and secondary app, did mock interviews, reviewed SDN info

The school, MDs, and students do certainly give off a "cult" vibe. (They are NOT a cult, at least not as far as I know, but they do give off the vibe). They want people who will abide to the Mayo system and philosophies...some not so orthodox.

There will be a stress-test

The stress test and crossing the line to do so (see my other comment)

Absolutely loved this school and would go there in a heartbeat.

To wear more comfortable shoes.

Nothing!

The campus is beautiful, and the physicians, staff, and students were incredibly down to earth and friendly.

Read my primary and secondary applications.

Amazing place

Students, curriculum, resources

Still not convinced on living in Rochester. I guess everyone is at different points in life and have different priorities, but I feel like I'd be more in love with living here if I was 30 with a family and not in my low-mid 20s. If location is not a huge deal for you, you will love the school.

I mean Mayo is really the mecca of medicine. The hospital system speaks for itself.
