It was implemented a year ago, or something to that extent. I am sure Touro gives 1500 hours. My sister is a p4 there.
I am told Northstate allows you to get 1600 hours total by the time you graduate, which is 100 hours more than needed. o.o
I might know you! I also recognized 2 people during our Touro interview at Northstate too. Were you one of those accepted? if so congratulations! Now u got me curious as to who u are haha. (Are u from Oregon?). We can talk in private if u want to remain anon.
Your stats must be amazing, USC is one of the best schools in California. Big congrats to you! Now that I think about it, I think I asked you your major and u said biochemistry.
Yeah. I really like MCPHS. Everyone their including existing students were great! Thanks for the advice. I have some time to figure it out. I'm not planning on living in California but I would enjoy the weather. The ghetto area advice is a real problem. I'll have to look into the crime, etc. Thanks for the advice.
I just got an email asking me to schedule for an interview. How long did you wait before calling them to schedule

. And congrats on your acceptance! I definitely liked Touro more than Northstate and would have been more than happy to go there. However, I got accepted to another school near home and preferred to save on loans. Some people on Northstate's forum stated that their first year loans would be 99k; that's just too insane.
Thank you. My interview date was on April 25.
It's official! I got the acceptance letter.
Congrats! I was at the April 25th interview as well and received my official acceptance yesterday. I wonder if we were in the same interview group. Anyhow, I am so excited to be attending in the fall.
Good luck to all who are still waiting/interviewing!
My interviewers were Dr. Banares and Dr. Evans and I'm the Touro MPH student. There were only 2 male students that day and I'm the big one. 
or 
please. I love these similes.
Thanks! I was surprised at quickly they made a decision-I remember Mr.Davis mentioning that the committee would be making a decision on May 9th..but it was a pleasant surprise cause the wait was killing me lol!Thank you and congrats to you!
Which questions did you think were the hardest for your interview group? Most of the questions I thought were to be easy; however, some of the interviewees had trouble with what is leadership, what do you think about pharma-genetics state a pro or a con, and what is your biggest failure and what did you do to overcome.
Anyways, those who are still waiting and interviewing good luck and don't give up. I applied to Touro three times: 1st no interview invite, 2nd low alternative (accepted to Touro MPH), and 3rd accepted.
So don't go

I was in the other interview group with Dr. Keplar(?) and Dr. Madden, along with a 4th year pharmacy student. I was a bit nervous going into it but I think the interviewers were extremely nice and the group setting helped calm my nerves. I don't feel like the questions were that difficult-there were many that showed up from the interview feedback section. So those of you who have an interview this week should definitely have an idea of how to respond to some of those. The questions our group were asked were why pharmacy, describe a time that you used creativity to solve a problem, what other roles does a pharmacist have, and where do you see pharmacy in 2025? Pretty basic stuff. My advice to those yet to interview-keep your answers concise and to the point. Just be yourself and let your personality shine. As long as you're genuine and show that you're passionate and knowledgeable about the profession you'll be fine. Have faith in your abilities..they clearly saw something in your app that is special, so just relax! And don't forget to smile!
I love hearing stories like yours-persistence really does pay off! Way to hang in there!
Best of luck to all of you still waiting! And good luck to those interviewing this week!

Even though you know how to answer these questions, I recommend practicing verbally. It helps you know if you can answer fluidly and concisely without seeming like you memorized your responses and regurgitating them, which is hard in my opinion.
Also, if a question is given out to everyone and the answer seems to be the same don't just restate it, build upon it. Show an example of how you relate to it. Showing is better than telling and it's your time to shine among the rest. However, don't take too much time; be considerate of the interviews and the interviewees time.
I hope this helps a bit. I can answer more questions if you message me. Good Luck.
P.S. The good thing about being a Touro MPH student is that you don't have to pay the acceptance fee. $2k ouch!
Good luck on your interview tomorrow! I agree with Ankor-it definitely helps to practice your answers verbally. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to email me. I'd be happy to help in any way that I can.^^ thanks a bunch!! and im not worried about 2k thats nothing compared the bill you'll see after 4 years hahaha. good luck to everyone and i'll see you tomorrow if you're interviewing
That would be me!
Question-do you know when the calendar for the 2012-2013 will be available? I suppose I should send Mr.Davis an email. Based on the current calendar classes start the first week of August..I am assuming that will be the case this year.
Awwwww..thanks!I thought you might get in. I was like Wowwwww! She can communicate clearly during the associate dean's presentation;she could get in from the other group. I guess i was right.
Anyways, I have no idea. I have a meeting with a professor tomorrow to plan out my MPH unit requirements so, I might stop by admissions or ask a current P1 if they might have it; otherwise, we have to wait until they send it by email. Also, this is important. Get your forms done by June: http://studentservices.tu.edu/studenthealth/Immunization..etc.pdf Forms:http://studentservices.tu.edu/studenthealth/forms.html
I had a hunch that you would get in as well. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity and am looking forward to meeting everyone and starting classes this August. The faculty and other students I've met are amazing and I'm excited to be a part of it!
