Do you mean notification date "9/17/2020" instead of "8/17/2020"?

Did they reply to your email yet when you selected a date? (I also got an interview today) I just wanted to make sure I don't need to email them again.:confused: I don't want the date I selected to get taken...

I have been so indecisive with which date I wanted, so I haven't even emailed them yet /: I hope my date doesn't get taken either. Hopefully they will grant interview dates in the order the emails were received!

I got an invite 2 days ago, but the earliest in-person on Oct. 28th and virtual is on Dec.9th
Do you guys think doing virtual can negatively impact the admission since it is so late?

If you only got it Friday then I would just be patient and wait a couple of business days as they’re probably handling a lot right now.

I wouldn't say that it will, it's still before the date when schools send out their decisions. I think you'll be fine
 
It was Rosh Hashanah this past weekend so I’m sure admissions will get to the emails soon. Just relax and be patient!

I got response as well after sending an email to choose interview date. I chose 10/28, and I will be travelling from MN

Mine was "invited to interview" for a couple of days but now it changed to none. Must be a glitch. Plus a lot of schools don't really pay attention to the AADSAS status

The interview was extremely laid back, all of the students in my interview group that I talked to all agreed it was such a great experience.

Do not stress at all. Touro really surprised me in a good way today.

Did your interviewer write down the notes when you answered the questions and how long was the interview?
 
Hi! Interviewing here tomorrow. Anybody have any tips/advice?
 
Just received an interview invite today! Submitted my secondary on 8/31/20. My invite says that I am invited for a Zoom interview, however, it looks like they are doing some in-person interviews as well. Does anyone know if they will give me an option to go in-person or do Zoom?
 
Does anyone know if Touro accepts unofficial DAT scores via email?
 
Just received an interview invite this morning at 8:42am! Soooo excited :D

Yes, you'll get the supplemental first, it just takes some time no worries.

Fellow D1 here, wow you really made an account just for this huh.

1. They will ask you for patience and mercy as they figure things out during this transition, but it's tough to find that reciprocated when things don't go too well on your end. If there is an error in THEIR testing systems or in their attendance systems you will most likely have to pay the consequences with blows to your grade and more stress on top of an already stressful period of time.
Click to expand...
It's true there's been some road bumps in transitioning to virtual lectures/testing, but quite honestly Touro is far from the only school having trouble. The Touro faculty have been very fair with how they're handling any technological difficulties that may arise from either student or profs with the new online learning. Sure you may have to send some emails here and there, but it's nothing too out of your way, and the profs have all been very understanding. No blows to my grade yet.

Dentalfan11172014 said:
2. They have poor communication skills and have sent me warnings with less than a weeks notice that I will be terminated because they are missing medical records that you didn't know they were missing. (Imagine studying for exams and getting that email)
3. They have also lost many final transcripts requiring us as students to have to pay to have them redelivered to the school
Click to expand...
No argument here, communication has been an issue. Although in my case, I have had no problems getting answers to any questions I may have.

Dentalfan11172014 said:
4. They have also taken off "freebee" points in some tough classes because we cannot attend in person
Click to expand...
In 1 class so far. However we did get more extra credit questions on the exams than previous years along with an added 1.5% extra credit (which only really took an email to get). Also not to mention that glitch on one of the exams resulting in many students scoring higher to make for a (positively) skewed grade distribution.

Dentalfan11172014 said:
During non-COVID times maybe it is a good school and if it's your only option then so be it, but if you can find somewhere else DO IT. Especially since their precious "Emperor" Cuomo doesn't appear to be opening the state any time soon.
Click to expand...
I especially disagree with this. You go to the cheapest school period, a potentially better virtual classroom experience isn't worth going into even $10k more in debt. If Touro ends up being your cheapest school, do it since it's really not a school to avoid.
You're really making fun of a leader actually being smart and cautious during this pandemic? NY has been doing really well in keeping deaths low during recent months and is definitely one of the better states to live in currently. Likewise, Touro has been following state health guidelines really well and is trying their hardest to get us the best education possible while still keeping us safe.

Is there another Q and A thread with D1’s? I found both these posts be quite helpful as someone OOS that doesn’t know too much about the school.

Yup in person! I'm happy I could go because all the faculty and students gave a really friendly vibe that I'm not sure could come across virtually.



Nah no notes. Was very conversational and personal, didn't really feel like an interview. Was a little over 30 minutes but felt way shorter.

Thank you for the insight, I’m glad you enjoyed your interview! I have my interview tmrw morning, do you remember how long your interview day lasted?
 
I got my #7 invitation from Touro this morning and chose the virtual interview on Feb 3rd.
