Submitted! Hopeful because I was raised not too far from Vallejo.
There is a limit. 250 words or less for that prompt.Not sure how long the responses should be to the question "Why have you chosen to apply to the TUC College of Osteopathic Medicine?" Like a full blown essay, or a paragraph or two???? theres no limit. I'm leaning to the paragraph or two.
Where did you find the limit limit? The only ones i see limits for are the last two.There is a limit. 250 words or less for that prompt.
It's on the top of the page that has all of the questions.Where did you find the limit limit? The only ones i see limits for are the last two.
Yes, several. This was my lengthiest secondary to date.were there any essays?
Yeah, ahhahah I guess with all the excitement I missed it!It's on the top of the page that has all of the questions.
I received an e-mail June 26th and I'm nearing my 14th day with still no word of a secondary.Has anyone else not received their secondary? I got an email on June 25th saying touro received my primary, but it's been quiet ever since. I wonder if they're just swamped or if I'm gonna get rejected.
I separated them out. Yeah this application was annoying. I just filled out everything possible but so much of it was repetitive from AACOMAS.Secondary question:
For the Academic Record section, did you separate the GPA for each school? And did you go off your transcript GPA/units or the information calculated by AACOMAS? Also, did you actually upload transcripts? I am thinking not, since it is optional, but it seems like this section is more geared towards those not applying through CAS - like other programs.
When were you verified? And how many days after the first e-mail did you wait?

Yeah I've heard that they screen. I was verified 6/17 and received the first e-mail 6/26. I also forgot to take into account the holiday weekend. Hopefully next week then.I was verified back in mid-May and received the first email on 6/25. Secondary received 14 days after the first email, but there was a holiday thrown in there.
I had spoken to admissions about it, and they do screen for secondaries.
Yea I got it this morning. Oh man.. I am going to be sooooooo busy this weekend doing secondaries.... like this is insane.
It says in the instructions to make sure to mark California or your application won't be processed.anyone notice in the secondary, Touro NV is also an option?
are you guys just typing your answers under the questions you downloaded? I find it way easier to read if I change all the answers to a red font and type my responses in black. Would it be a bad idea to upload the final thing like that?

leave it blankAlso--what do we put for "degree expected date" if we aren't seeking a degree for the university? I tried 00/0000 and it gave me an error.
I put the GPA I obtained from each school. School 1 31 credits 3.67 GPA School 2 79 credits 3.72 GPABy "separated them out" do you mean that you listed the cGPA for just the classes of each individual school? Or your overall cGPA for all schools while your were at each institution? I think I'm overthinking this
How are you handling the letters of recommendation? Are you giving Touro the writers' info so they can get email them to Touro or sending them through interfolio?
There doesnt seem to be an option to do it through AACOMAS directly...
What is the tuition for Touro? And about how much would you say living expenses cost in this area per year?I applied here last year. Was accepted and will be starting in August. If I can be of any assistance feel to direct a question towards me in this thread.
For those probably wondering...I was complete early july, submitted completed secondary mid/late july, and was offered ii early september.

I just received the e-mail invite for the secondary application and on the e-mail it says I'm missing the required courses and that they have not received my LoRs. However, when they list the requirements and letters, they are followed by Yes. In this format:
And for LoRs:
- Biology Lab and Lecture (8 semester units): Yes
- General Chemistry Lab and Lecture (8 semester units): Yes
- Organic Chemistry Lab and Lecture (8 semester units): Yes
- Physics Lab and Lecture (8 semester units): Yes
Does this mean I did fulfill the requirements or should I contact them? I have completed all the class requirements and my letters are on AACOMAS.
- Letter of Recommendation from a Physician (DO or MD): Yes
- Science Letter #1: Yes
- Science Letter #2: Yes
Thank you!Email Lynn huckle...she's pretty prompt in getting back.

I got the secondary but where the heck are the essays? I'm having trouble finding them?!
Application complete email this afternoon.
Look under "TUC Supplemental Questions."
You download two word docs, fill them in, and upload.
I ended up rereading it and since they are marked with "Yes" instead of "No" it looks like I'm all good.Re read it- are you sure it doesn't say have/have not?
