What are your general comments?

I was nervous because it's Mayo, and I wanted to do well. The office staff (Cindy and Jane) are incredibly nice and welcoming, and all the students I talked to were great. The interviews weren't super high stress, but one of my interviewers really didn't ask very good questions that allowed my application to shine, but that's how it goes...

What are some solutions for the healthcare crisis we are currently facing?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mayo website, AMCAS app, talked with a couple of mayo grads I am friends with

EVERYTHING! Mayo is my dream school - tuition is cheap, facilities are amazing, the clinical opportunities are endless, and there are tons of chances to study abroad or at least go to the Mayo clinics in Jacksonwille or Scottsdale during the summer

What impressed you negatively?

Hmmm...not much! The city of Rochester isn't great, but I can definitely think of worse places

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Rotations in Jacksonville and Scottsdale during 3rd/4th years are paid for (along with housing, transportation, etc.) by Mayo
