Mayo Summer III 2013

Published

Just thought I'd start a topic for this since I haven't seen one yet for this upcoming summer.

I finished applying a few weeks ago and now I'm starting to work on some other internship/externship apps. I hopeful I get accepted but also being realistic and keeping my options open.

Specializes in Pediatrics.

I just checked last year's thread; they had over 800 apps and 109.

Anyone else just want the next few weeks to fly by so we know if we're accepted or not? I'm keeping myself busy with work, getting ready for the semester, and more externship applications. I'm applying to 6-8 and 4 of those are due within a month.

I'm applying for two in Iowa, one in Missouri, one in Texas. Those are the 4 that are due soon (as in before we'd hear back from Mayo). I feel like the only clinical instructor I've had so far is going to hate me for all the reference requests I'll be sending her within the next week.

Goodluck to everyone who is waiting anxiously and to everyone who is submitting their applications today! Cannot wait to hear from Mayo!!

Yeah - I had e-mailed LaTasha at Mayo and she didn't tell me how many apps they usually expect, but she said they will accept a little over 100, which is still a LOT in my opinion, but such a big pool of applicants to choose from! I know last year they found out like January 28th! So hopefully that will be true for us as well. But I know the website said for sure by the end of February, so we could be waiting awhile to hear back.

I'm also applying to other externships, in Michigan and out of state (like Mayo) as well. Good luck to everyone finishing up applications this month and anxiously awaiting (fingers crossed!) acceptance letters!! :)

Did she mention anything else?

She also said absolutely no need for cover letter

Did she mention when they will start reviewing the applications?

It started already I think. I got their rejection email today.:no:"Although we were impressed with your background and experience, we have decided to pursue other candidates who more closely fit the needs of the department at this time."
