Im stuck between touro and NYU, what do you guys think?
No, I interviewed early in February and I had that extra paragraph. However, I haven't received anything yet.I interviewed Feb 1st as well...so is it safe to say that the students who received the "strong candidate" e-mail are getting their acceptances now?

someone in the other thread just called and talked to them today, so I guess you can retry. I would have called them, but I am out of the country.someone call and ask them if they are done sending out more acceptances. nobody is picking up.
My last name starts with one of the first few letters...Yeah I'm starting to think paragraph and interview date have nothing to do with it. Unless it's random, it could be alphabetical--it would make sense with my name.
alright so maybe not alphabetical either lol they're probably doing a holistic review of all the candidates and sending them out bit by bit. but it's only the second day of releasing decisions so we'll both hang in there! Has anyone heard anything yet today?My last name starts with one of the first few letters...
This is what I heard from them last month when I called. That extra paragraph on email means that you are a strong candidate for the inaugural class, nothing more nothing less. They will also review everyone again before making the final decision.alright so maybe not alphabetical either lol they're probably doing a holistic review of all the candidates and sending them out bit by bit. but it's only the second day of releasing decisions so we'll both hang in there!

exciting news for you, depressing news for meNEWS
so far it has been out of state applicants whom got accepted !
BASED on RECENT POSTS
IM from NY
So they are saving the best for last.
Me of course !
Did your interviewer tell u after the interview? .I am a NY state resident and received the acceptance yesterday. I interviewed towards the end of March. My name is towards the beginning of the alphabet. My interviewer basically told me that I was accepted during the interview.
I'm sure more spots will open up, but they need to hear back from those that they've already accepted first.
QUESTION! Just to make sure i'm not going crazy here... if I do give the $2000 deposit and I get accepted to another school, I can still drop, right? The 2G deposit doesn't mean I can't accept other schools and drop Touro.... RIGHT?!? I already gave them the Terms & Conditions form as well as my SSN#..... I can still back out right, right? RIGHT!?
Thanks, just wanted to make sure i wasnt crazy.correct... it's the whole point of a deposit. as a cost deterrent to prevent you from going elsewhere should you get accepted.

I had him, and I haven't heard anything. He was really tough. I think it was because he's so young.Did anyone who interviewed with Dr. Steinberg get accepted? That guy was rough...
sounds like a dickI know right! I wonder if he recommended any of his interviewees?
Me at my interview:
Dr. Steinberg: "Hello, I'm Dr. Steinberg. You must be _______."
Me: "Yes I am! Haha, you know I was thrown off at first wondering how another applicant knew who I was without my name tag, lol"
Dr. Steinberg: "*silent judgement* Yeahhhh... Well anyway follow me this way..."
Ugh, such a fail... I think he probably dislikes being mistaken for not a doctor all the time
Why do you think you're better off with a masters? I got into NYU and I'm contemplating if I should goto touro or NYU. Touro is cheaper and I like the smaller class size as opposed to NYU.
What masters programs are you in?...I might be looking into some. ThanksIt's really hard to gauge whether or not people are being sarcastic on these forums sometimes lol. I'll take it as you're genuinely interested in knowing why the average applicant might be better off with a masters. I'm the opposite of you. I like the big class sizes and the large faculty pool. Personally, it gives it more diversity and opportunity to learn from different backgrounds and walks of life. I wish they'd answer me soon (with an acceptance of course lol).
- A masters (a few select ones) are really for students who either 1) had an 'okay' performance during undergrad or 2) are thinking for the future. The master's program I'm currently in is for dental and medical scholars who want to attend graduate school and are looking to better their academic history. I had a 3.3 undergrad GPA and apparently that is just 'average' and nothing unique to many interviewers/adcoms. Taking this Master's and striving for a 3.5+ really sparked more interest from other schools. I'm finishing my masters in 3 semesters (average time for people in this program) and thats another down side. I would have had interviews at 5 other schools if I was finishing my master's this year rather than next fall semester. That's partially my fault because I should have looked into school requirements with graduate programs before applying, but if i dont get into NYU or I dont feel comfortable going to Touro, I know for a fact next cycle I'll have better luck. Don't take this as me bragging, this is me explaining why a Master's program is beneficial.

They've done all the interviews they plan to do. They did about 500. My understanding is they will make wait list out of them.Des anyone know if touro have wating list system? D othey give you interview for waiting list?
hey guys i got an interview invite for Thursday the 28th. any advice or tips for the interview?? Any help is greatly appreciated. and congrats to all of those who got accepted!!
He's applying to their pharm schoolWOW
Touro
is getting greedy and are unappreciative of those 500 who they've interviewed
When will we receive confirmation of orientation/school start dates? I know the consensus on this forum is July 5 for orientation, but unless they tell us NOW, it seems unreasonable to have orientation in July, not to mention starting school in July.
I received my acceptance letter in the mail and it says orientation is July 5th and that classes will start soon after that.
