I did my undergraduate work at the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN. You see, you don’t have to go to a big name school to succeed. Believe me there. Being a competitive applicant is more than GRE and grades. If I was to put a checklist of important characteristics, it would go like this: 1. Research experience 2. Personal statement 3. Grades and GRE scores. 4. Personality, interview, and fit in the department You need all four to be strong in the applicant pool. You will be competitive, trust me, in the grades and GRE scores. For perspective, my GPA was a 3.90 with a gre of 1150—and I was accepted. So you have that part of the application on ice as they say, don’t worry about that. The next part of it for you is whether your personal statement is strong and what kind of experience you have in research. If you have research experience and a great personal statement, with those grades and test scores, I am sure you will get an interview (that goes for any grad school—not just Mayo). Once you are there for the interview, you need to prove to them that you belong here and your not just strong on paper. Much of that is just letting your personality come through and interacting with them to show that you fit into the department. I mean if you don’t like a place, it will come off no matter what…so just relax, have fun, and enjoy the interview process…In terms of Mayo, you sound like a great applicant with what you have told me, just get a good personal statement put together, and if you have research experience, all you have to do is get through the interview, which for most people is more of a formality. And yes, the graduate students and the GSA (Grad school association—which I am the Immunology tract rep for this coming year) will be able to put in their two cents along the way, so again, fitting in, being yourself, and having fun on the interview weekend is crucial to getting in—because the point of that interview is just to see your not a paper applicant, you are a real applicant who should be here (instead of somewhere else)…So thanks for asking, and you sound like a great candidate, apply, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask away. So I know you got this, please post something…I hope to hear from you. Good Luck! JJ PS. The application deadline I believe is December 1, so I would get those in as fast as you can, seeing you only have one month left and you don't want anything left to chance. I hope I was helpful. Have a great day! ehliyet, I refer you to what I said to “Zac” above here on 9/11/2008.

I am about to apply to the graduate school for the immunology tract as well and I was wondering if you knew the average gpa and gre to get in. I am a 3.82 with a 1310 gre and I was wondering if I would be a competitive applicant. Any help would be awesome. Hey JJ I was wondering where you went to undergrad?

Thanks so much for all your help. I do have significant research experience in a nephrology lab and I am working on my second publication which is in the process of being submitted to the journal of experimental biology and medicine. I have gone to a smaller school (Murray State University) but I am glad to see that Mayo gets the grad students involved in the selection process. Thank you so much for all your help and my application will be in very soon. Zac Awesome. Thanks so much for all your help.

I think you would be a great applicant here at Mayo. Mayo is a very competetive school and looks for well rounded people as well as previous research experience. The Ph.D program is looking for good grades and GRE scores however are also looking for research experience (a big factor), personality, and determination. They pay really big attention to your personal statement and your letters of recommendations. Once you get accepted for an interview its all up to you to show us (yes, I said us...the grad school gets feedback from the GSA and other students during interview weekend about YOU), and then gets feedback from your interviewees (faculty, around 5). You can check out the website www.mayo.edu to get more info. Also if there are any other questions let us know!!!P.S You should apply! Hey Zac,
