Curious, did Mayo say why they rejected you?
I will say the squeaky wheel gets a lot more attention. If you have medical people in your family they may know what words to “use” when appealing things. It can make a difference at times. I just got very forceful. I was told “do not have any more surgery, it won’t help and could make things worse” yeah, worse, ha, was taking morphine and hydrocodone daily. My kids’ dad (my ex) committed suicide so that was not an option for me. I was desperate and in constant pain.

I think it's mainly because I am in pediatrics, so that division is kind of full from what I heard. Also, I am borderline adult, so they don't want to take someone who will graduate into adult doctors so soon. I applied a while ago, I would say around mid-November? At that time all I had in my documentation was the Chiari, I guess it wasn't that big of a deal and I got rejected. Unfortunately only one mayo location does pediatrics, so they're booked. My mom talked to my family and they gave some tips, I can appeal, but I'll probably get rejected.
