anyone know the secondary prompts?
I was accepted into the class of 2017 with about a 3.5 over/sci and a 25 (7 phy, 9ver, 9bio). They didnt ask me about my low MCAT and it was the lowest acceptable for a secondary. They like a strong science background it seems and my high masters gpa (3.85) and advanced coursework (microbiology, biochemistry, molecular) really helped during my interview. For the secondary they just make you reenter information found on your primary application no essay required.
In order to receive a secondary you need a 3.0 overall, 3.0 science, and a 25 mcat score.
I would email Amber and ask if they make exceptions but I haven't heard of any. They would probably wait until after your MCAT score comes in if its below a 25 before issuing a secondary. I didnt submit my secondary until mid january I was interviewed in March and still got accepted with many others. If your below the GPA or MCAT cutoff you have summer/fall to make up the deficit.Are they flexible at all on this if I have good gpa(s) or if I have a retake scheduled?
And the laptop we have to buy this year is a Dell not Toshiba.
No you cant opt out its a requirement.hmmm... is there anyway to opt out of this, like if I bought a Mac for myself? I'm not a fan of Dell at all.

I would email amber and ask, I know they interview until march so maybe they want to see your grades in summer/fall before making a decision.Got an email saying my app couldn't be reviewed until I finished all my pre-reqs.....I thought it was common for the rule to be pre-reqs done before matriculation?
anyone have any insight here?

Just got my secondary invite.Did secondaries already go out?
Just got my secondary invite.
I can't find the instructions on how to make the payment. The email stated that the instructions are found on the last page of the application. There's nothing on the last page but the "References" and the signature.
Does anyone know if the volunteer experience is also just health-related or is it just volunteering in general?
is the technical standard a part of the secondary? i don't it in the secondary. do we have to go on Touro website to download it?
I think it was supposed to be. I looked at the secondary from last year and it was 4 pages longer. I think the secondary that was sent out is incomplete. The email says it was supposed to contain payment instructions but mine did not have those.
I'm getting really frustrated. Most of the secondaries I'm getting has some type of error or glitch.
I called the school and they said they acknowledge this problem and will send out an email tomorrow or later this week.

I can't say for certain but I found a copy of their Technical Standards under the DO Admission section, here is the link http://tun.touro.edu/wp-content/uploads/TUN_DO_Admission_Technical_Standards_2010.pdfI have been trying to call them and nobody seems to be home there today. I want to see if its ok to use the technical standards portion of last years secondary and just amend it to this years but nobody is taking my calls.

From the URL it appears to have last been updated in 2010 so it is probably the same form from last year.
Technical standards and payment addendum received via email
Email says $100 secondary fee. Email documents state the secondary fee is $50.

I just noticed that. Hmm...
When you follow the link and select osteopathic medicine it lists the price as 100$
I can't click the link in my PDF and when I try typing it in, it doesn't work.
No secondary here.
Is there a heavier screen for TUNCOM?
