I was looking at TouroCom's academic calendar and there's only 1 month of summer???? Students end in June and start school again in July. Other medical schools seem to start in September and end in June giving them almost 3 months of summer....

It's a jewish school and they follow all the jewish holidays. You have less summer but a lot of days off during the school year because of all the holidays. You can take a look on the website at all the holidays. There is a ton of them throughout the year especially fall.

Has anyone received a rejection after an interview? I interviewed a little more than two months ago and haven't heard anything- is anyone in the same boat?
 
Does anyone know what address we send transcripts to for matriculation

They told me to send them to the campus you are going to. So for Harlem:

230 West 125th Street
New York, NY 10027

I would have the registrar put: Attention admissions department (or something like that)

Anyone who interviewed on 3/7 hear back yet? Anxiously awaiting a decision. I have put my deposit down elsewhere, but being from NY, and loving the interview day, this is #1 choice and worth losing my deposit.

Why they make decisions at Thursday? Not as usual as Fridays.

Did you climb the table and started jumping around during the interview ? Lol. (Just joking). Usually they would at least put you on the alternate list but not reject you like that.

I didn't even do that! Ha. I had pretty much already decided on another school and didn't have my head in the game, which I think was the problem. Also in the interview they kind of grilled me about why I wasn't doing a Masters first since I only have the bare minimum science classes. I basically said I'd already been accepted and wasn't going to shell out 50K for an extra year of school. Maybe not the best answer? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah probably not the best answer... Good thing you have another school to fall back on though. That's all that matters.

Interviewed 3/9, and accepted yesterday morning. I'm Canadian - are any other Canadians presently planning on starting in Fall 2016? Im deciding between TouroCOM and UNECOM, so now comes the time to figure things out. Anyone have any input between UNECOM and touro?? Would greatly appreciate it!
 
Hope I can get some good news these two days, at least put me on waiting list:(. Interviewed 3/14. They are really friendly. Just the casual-chatting style. I was talking and talking for pretty long, although not preparing that much. Doesn't know whether this is a good sign or the opposite..

Good luck for other anxious guys! Looking forward to seeing you, everyone, soon.

Wait at least 4 weeks before starting to stress out. 03/14 was only 10 days ago...

Both are very good, but they have very different things about them. One of the big ones being the location of course. Touro is obviously much more urban! I also do not think UNE does the flipped curriculum either--which is something to consider. Rotation quality is similar I am sure, though touro has a focus on more underserved areas. Congrats on the acceptance!
