has anyone who interviewed on 2/11/13 heard back yet?!?
No, my EC's are definitely not weak. I have been out of college for 5 years and have been involved in lab and clinical research since college. I have more EC's than can fit on the application so I don't think that is the problem. I do not believe that my personal statement is weak, but I guess that is pretty subjective. My weakest link is my MCAT but it appears that people with similar MCAT scores are being considered. I guess I will wait and see what happens. Thanks for responding.
as per the interview day at Touro, it seems like they heavily value a 30+ MCAT score with special emphasis on the biology section

I got 12 on bio and 33 overall so it seems it must be something else about me. I remember the dean asking all of us in a group if we were accepted to other schools already and I was the only one who said they were(should have kept my mouth shut). I wonder if that had an impact...
They may know this information already. Adcoms talk its a small world. Had you lied, they may have known. What's your verbal score and did you have anyone read your PS? Those are the two things I can see only hurting someone if they are weak.
Does anyone know if Touro has standard patients training and/or simulation training?
I'm considering applying to more schools, obviously it's pretty late in the game but touros deadline for submitting the amcomas and secondary are in March and April. I'm an NJ resident, 29 Mcat 3.8 gpa.
Is there any chance for me to get an interview if I apply?
anyone know how many spots have been filled? anyone know anything about the wait list?
check last years thread starting around april and go from there. They talk about it a lot.
Has anyone tried to email admissions lately? Tried a few days ago and no response.
Could you tell me how you know about the 70/135?As of 1/28, they had filled 70 seats out of 135. I am not sure how far behind they are in interviewing, but I know of another 2 dates of interview (the upcoming two Mondays), and each date has 2 sessions. Don't know how many more dates after that there are.
Good luck!

I have an interview next Monday March 11th. Initially after going through these forums I felt like I was going to be interviewing for a wait list spot. Your post tells me otherwise, which is why I wanted to know more about it.

Mr. Sow is very responsive and emails/calls to him are returned promptly. Looking forward to an interview here, even if its for a waitlist spot! Anyone have any interview advice? I know its panel of interviewers, and I've heard they can grill you, but just wondering what other people's take on it was.
I wouldn't say that they grill you per se, it's pretty much basic questions about your file (it is open file). However, everyone has a different experience, and the extent that they go into your file really depends on the interviewers. I know some people who were asked very specific questions in their file, and a few [lucky] others that weren't asked as many questions; so, if you have any bad grades or didn't do as well on MCAT, be prepared to explain why.
I also wouldn't worry about what you may have read on here about it being a stress interview. It really does depend on the interviewers, and each person that interviewed during my session had different experiences. Also, I feel that if you go in there feeling like you have to be on the defensive, you are apt to panic and not do as well. Just be yourself and be confident.
All in all, it wasn't too bad. You should enjoy it, and don't psyche yourself out. One more thing, talk to the people that are interviewing at the same time with you, they might be of some help. You'll probably exchange emails with everyone, and who knows, they might be your future classmates.
So, first off,
Congratulation to all who's gotten in so far and best of luck to those who are waiting!
I've been accepted on November and paid my deposit right away then.
I haven't heard back from them about submitting vaccination stuff all that goodness.
Can anyone shine a light on this matter?
Thanks!

I am interviewing on 3/18 at 1:00. Well based on those numbers, it looks like I'm interviewing for a waitlist spot...As of March 11th, 88/135 were filled with approximately 40 reserved for the masters program. Anyone aware of or is registered for future interview sessions? If yes, were you given the option for morning/evening sessions?

Dude, go to this interview. Give it your best. Waitlist or not, you never know<--- that is the honest truth.
Have you called the school yet?Anyone know how their health insurance works? When exactly it would start? Anyone else in the same boat of deciding whether to get COBRA from their job the summer before they start school?
The forum from this year looks very different from that of last year! Around this same time, people were posting about their wait-list letter and analyzing the specific wording of their cryptic messages. I am still waiting to hear from my interview of last week so I don't have anything new to post yet. I'm surprised others aren't posting about their decisions.

I interviewed at Touro COM on March 11, 2013. For anyone who has been accepted there ... how did they notify you? By e mail or snail mail? Thanks.
snail
Haha, OK, looks like it varies. How about this, when (i.e. what month) were you guys notified? Maybe they changed it after Mr. Ruiz was put in charge.
dont remember- november?
