They should’ve told you at the interview, my time frame was about 2-3 weeks

Yes they told me today, but I was wondering if there was a time frame on the specific day they told us they typically send out decisions

Are they still sending IIs?

 

[skk1]

does anyone know if the class is full already? approx how many people get on the waitlist every year?

 

[skk1]

class is full and mostly interviewing for WL. WL is usually long, but most people do get off. esp the ones at the top and middle. people get other A's and drop their deposit and seat for touro which leads touro to take wl people up until the first day of classes!

how do they rank top/middle/bottom?

Could I ask how students attending this upcoming year are finding roommates? From what I've seen from a price standpoint getting a group together to rent a complete unit/house out seems more affordable than the single rooms people are posting.

yea but sometimes you may not be able to find an entire house that has rooms available. Usually it is a mix of second year students and also students from other programs. But yea, you can try to form a group and look at a house together.

Did you ever figure this out? I am wondering the same. Even if there is only a shot at the wait list at this point.

Hi - can any current students point me towards where I might be able to find housing on mare island? I am having trouble finding anything online

do you have access to campus groups? thats where mare island housing things are posted along with the fb page (it has been created and you should have or soon will get an email to join it).

Has anyone received communication about the process to enter their class? As in tuition, vaccines, testing, etc?

Hi all! I was recently accepted and am quite concerned about the campus/ surroundings/ and the city of Vallejo. I see numerous experiences regarding car break ins/ robbery/ and some sketchy things and the abandoned buildings etc.. the campus from the outside looks that way too. how is it after sunset if students were to stay on campus past that and can anyone share personal experience? the campus/ location is worrying me

 

[nypremed27]

Visited campus this week - I thought the island was beautiful and the buildings where actual classes are seem nice. Yes there are some old military buildings out there - but I did not mind it.

There is poverty in Vallejo. Crime accompanies that, but I did not feel unsafe there at all. I also toured some really nice gated apartments in Vallejo (more in the southern part). If I can’t find housing on Mare Island I am probably going to live in one of the complexes in Vallejo. I’ve heard of people who are even more concerned about safety living in American canyon.

If you want to end up in California, touro will set you up for that. I would personally hesitate to throw that away if that is important for you because of fears about Vallejo or because the classrooms on island aren’t in brand new buildings.

I think its for waitlist spots now, the decisions from march until now have been waitlists, I haven't seen any As

Yea I think it’s for WL but I hear TUCOM usually has good WL movement

I forget the exact dates but if you log into tourone there is a calendar tab where you can find everything I think

Hello everyone! Current TUCCOM student here - a great place to ask questions if is also Touro Talks (Touro Talks Q&A: Osteopathic Medicine). This happens on Fridays from 12-1p. There are usually faculty and a student there to answer your questions. If you have any questions, you can also email [email protected] (this is a student acc) to connect with students. The AACOMAS cycle is still active so best of luck!

 

[LeapofFate]

IS WL just now. Honestly was expecting the R after how scuffed my interview felt so I’m mildly relieved 😅.

 

[DO-25]

As we all know, Touro can accept applicants off the waitlist all the way through August. Does anyone here know if starting at a different medical school before then (been accepted to one that begins on July 1st) would negatively affect my chances of being accepted off the waitlist at Touro? This is my top choice😭

Does anyone know how the WL is ranked? What percentage gets an A? I received a call today asking if I would be interested in interviewing... I am doing one next week but it seems pretty late for interviews. I saw that the class is full now so just trying to see if getting an A is possible

I feel like if A was not possible they wouldn't interview people! The waitlist is internally ranked and they won't share info. Did they really call you or email? just curious lol

 

[aastudent]

I got an II. So surprised since it's so late

They called me first asking if I would be interested in an interview. I said yes and then she said she would send over the actual invite via email.

Did they call you first asking if you would be interested? Or did you only receive an email invite
