Can any current Touro pharmacy student give some insights on what's it like to be there? From Google map it seems like the school is just a building situated on a busy street. Is there even a campus? What student life like?
As for student life, the P1 class is very cohesive and we get along well. We help each other out on materials presented. The P2's are also there to help us out. So in all, we have created a healthy environment for studying and interacting with fellow colleagues day by day.
That is so wonderful to hear! I went to a school where everyone was SO competitive and no one really spoke to each other or helped each other out unless you were in their "clique." It was so frustrating! So it's really nice to hear this about Touro! I can't wait to start in the fall!!!!!
In addition, does anyone know how registration works? Does the pharmacy school make the schedule for us or do we go and register for our classes on our own? I know it's still very early, but I'm curious and just cannot wait to start! August can't come any faster!
i e-submitted last month and received the confirmation email that both my supplemental and pharmcas was received last week, any idea how long till i get a response?when did you apply?

I received an acceptance email today!
I'm accepting the offer.
Congrats!!!! that is sooo exciting! How long did it take for them to get back to you after your interview date?

Thanks

Thank you!
I interviewed on 11/28 (Which was my postponement date due to the hurricane. Originally 11/1), and was placed in the reserve pool since then.
However, I DID submit some paperwork during the academic update period with Pharmcas in mid-Janurary. So I think that updated my file with Adcom for the following month's decision.
What was your GPA
cGPA: 3.02
sGPA: 2.97
Non-Sci GPA: 3.24
-----------
My other stats:
4 LORs: One from a Pharmacist
2 years pharmacy experience- Retail
Definitely know what Public Health and Health disparities are, and what it means to you. Why pharmacy? They also ask a series of questions not pertaining to pharmacy or their program; the answers you respond with will vary based on your life experiences. There's three interviewers, you meet with them for 10 minutes each. There will also be a group discussion-- they will give you a topic and you will discuss it among your group, then you will head into the computer lab to type up your answers. (For my group, the topic was not related to pharmacy).
On a side note-- I get very nervous during interviews, and what helped me get through this interview with ease was by thinking that I was just having a regular conversation about pharmacy with my friends. And that's what it felt like during the process.
I hope this helps and good luck on your interview!
Hey guys, hope all is well.
I know I'm late- just heard about this forum. Anyhow, I applied a little late (late Feb) just before the March deadline. Got an email today that the school got my Pharmcas application. Just wondering for those who went through the whole process how long will I have to wait before I get an invite for an interview?
Also my stats are as follows:
Overall GPA: 3.13
Science GPA: 3.01
Math GPA: 3.22
Gave 3 recommendation letters, one was from a pharmacist, Orgo professor (Dean of Chem department) and from a health care profesional (nurse).
Worked 2 years in a retail pharmacy store as a tech.
Anyone in a similar situation as me? What are my chances of getting in?
In order to give you an idea of how long it may take for you, I'll tell you how long it took for them to get back to me. I received the confirmation email stating my supp and pharmcas were received and my status was "received/under review" on January 4. Next I received an email entitled "Prerequisite Status" which is a review of your prereq courses on January 9. Then I received the interview invite on January 14. Therefore, it took 10 days to get the interview invite after receiving the confirmation email, so between 1-2 weeks. I received acceptance on Jan 31. Good luck!
I got an email a few days a go that my app is "received/under review" so I'm guessing based on what you went through I should be hearing from them soon. How did your interview go?I already answered that for someone else.
Your stats are very decent. I was accepted and these are my stats, for your comparison: cumulative GPA 3.53, science GPA 3.03, math GPA 3.03, 7 years retail pharm experience,3 LOR's, 2 from pharmacists, 1 from biochem prof.
Good luck!

Wow! That's great. Do you remember any of the questions? And what is this group thing that they make you do after the interview?Yea so you should hear back soon. My interview went really really well. I was really happy with it. I didn't think I was going to do well because I get very nervous to the point of bad anxiety. You guys should've seen me that morning, I looked like I was about to be sick lol! But Once I got inside and met the other applicants and started talking to them, I really calmed down a lot and composed myself lol. By the time I got to the individual interviews I was really confident I was going to do well because they seemed very interested in what I was saying. One of them actually told me my interview was excellent, so I'm sure you will get an idea of how you did from their comments/expressions, etc. So, overall, I was really happy and it went very well.

I received an e-mail on March 4th that my application was received/under review. It did state that I should hear in about 2-3 weeks whether or not I had fulfilled the requirements (I believe I have fulfilled them), although I am not sure I would be notified via another e-mail from Touro or on the Pharmcas website. Just to clarify, I should be expecting an email indicating that my prerequisites were met/not met, correct? I am just worried because it usually seems to take less than 2-3 weeks, however it's been nearly two weeks and I have yet to hear back from them.... =(
Wow! That's great. Do you remember any of the questions? And what is this group thing that they make you do after the interview?
Hey I'm a P1, Its true that the school is in a building, but its NYC and everything is building-situated. There are 5 floors and the top two floors are pharmacy designated, and the bottom floors are for the Osteopathic program. As for student life, the P1 class is very cohesive and we get along well. We help each other out on materials presented. The P2's are also there to help us out. So in all, we have created a healthy environment for studying and interacting with fellow colleagues day by day. Living in NYC is amazing. I came here from the west coast, and I absolutely love it. There are plenty of coffee shops and libraries around to study at. The food culture is amazing. You're going into a great profession, why not do it in a city people dream about living in
For those of you who were accepted, do you mind posting some of your stats? Touro NY is my dream school (because it's in NYC ), so I would really love to be able to compare my stats with those who were accepted to see if I stand a chance here.
Sure. These are my stats when I got the interview:
Cum. GPA: 3.49
Science GPA: 2.80
PCAT: 58
7 years in retail pharmacy experience
Bachelors in Anthropology and Physcology
After my academic update my cumulative went to 3.53 and my science to 3.02.
Good luck!
3.3 GPA (Science and Non-science).For those of you who were accepted, do you mind posting some of your stats? Touro NY is my dream school (because it's in NYC ), so I would really love to be able to compare my stats with those who were accepted to see if I stand a chance here.
