<p>You seem like a pretty standard competitive applicant. You have a good shot, but not a shoe-in or anything.</p>

<p>Lucky! You got to research at Mayo? How was that? I’ve done research at the local university and done a lot of stuff with our hospital’s pathology dept, but I can only dream of what it would be like to research at Mayo.</p>

<p>Sorry about Dartmouth though.</p>

<p>I think it’s a big reach. I think JHU in RD is harder than Dartmouth in ED. That said, you never know. </p>

<p>good luck</p>

<p>HEY!!! I also researched at Mayo! I was in immunology and infectious diseases though. did you publish any papers?</p>

<p>FWIW, my daughter was also rejected ED from Dartmouth and was accepted RD at Hopkins. She absolutely loved her time at Hopkins, did well, and went to Harvard for graduate school. She often says that getting rejected ED from Dartmouth was the best thing that ever happened to her.:)</p>
