I do not have that email, where did you make the payment?

For me, the confirmation email for payment was sent by [email protected] and the subject line said "Standard Notification"
Members don't see this ad.
 
hmm....Seems like I did not make the payment. I don't understand why they still send me the complete and ready to review email.
 
Anyone know if Touro nevada is also high on 30-30+ mcats like cali? Also got complete email and wondering about their mcat preferences. thanks

So I'm a bit confused on how we apply to both TUCOM and TUNCOM. I've received invites to apply to both but both are using the same application system. In the academic plan section, I can only pick one school. How do I go about doing this?

Take a look at the secondary request email.

"If you have already completed an application for another Touro campus, please create a new application account. If your profile name and email address are recognized as an existing applicant, ignore the error message and choose the new program from the academic plan. You will also need to pay the fee for the new application."

Oh ok I didn't see that. Thanks!
 
Yes, it was listed in the choices of files to download and fill in.
 
Just submitted this one as my first secondary. I live in Vegas, and since I'd like to stay close to home, this is my number one choice. Good luck everyone!

did anyone get an interview invite? last year they sent out the first batch of invites on Aug 20
 
Just got "application under review expect 4 weeks for a decision" email.
 
for the supplemental questions on the secondary, did you guys just list the activities, or did you actually write them in full sentences?

I wrote out a brief description for each activity that was different from my AACOMAS discriptions

I wonder if they'll really take 4 weeks to start sending out II

I would guess no. They just want a 4 week window to make a decision. They may send some tomorrow for all we know. By saying 4 weeks it stops neurotic SDN users from emailing them for updates :)

I'm waiting for my application to be verified and am very interested in this school. I'm a dealer at a local casino in Iowa and wondered if that could somehow be looked at as negative by this program.
 
is it ok to just copy and paste your AACOMAS primary application into the secondary for this school?
It seems like they use the secondary so that they don't have to read the primary application.
Are they expecting us to come up with a different explinations for the experiences that we had already discussed in our primary application?
 
how do we know if they have received our letters of rec?
 
I got an email saying that my application is under review. The e-mail also said that I'll either be rejected or invited for an interview in 1 month!

Same! Got a "complete" email a week or so a go. Hopefully we'll hear before a month's time!
 
Interview invite just now! First interview date is September 30th, hope to see a few of you guys there.

Just got an interview invite. I'm a little confused... They gave a number for me to call but I got a recording saying that nobody was available and that all the slots are filled up... And that leaving my info would let them get back to me for a wait list interview. So far, I haven't seen any other people say that they have gotten IIs. Maybe a recording from last year?

They probably weren't available, I would just call back in an hour or so and try again. Seemed like they just started giving out interviews, there were a few dates given to me that were open.

Same as well! Received the II email at 9am and called to schedule at 11am. Perhaps I shouldn't have slept in today ;)

I sent mine via interfolio. Did the email say decision in 4 weeks? You should be fine.

Had no luck and I think they said office closes at 1pm
 
Finally got a hold of them right at 1pm . Scheduled for 9/30 in the afternoon!
 
TUNCOM trolled me so hard with the II. I called 3 times and no one picked up so I left my contact info for an interview waitlist.

They send me ii today, and I looked over all my credit card statements, I still did not pay for their secondary, how crazy. Hopefully they don't find out.

Shhh if you keep posting, they're gonna look into it ;)
 
I've had no luck getting them to pick up my calls to schedule an interview. Should we leave a message or is that just for those waitlisted?

Keep calling. I called them at least 10 times since yesterday throughout the day too Lol. Was able to reach them around 10 am today though.

Well I've called 7X today and left an email and my contact info. I am grateful for the II but this seems really disorganized and unprofessional. They should have an interview calendar like every other school.
 
If it makes any of you guys feel any better, I called 60 times yesterday and didn't get through. Just gotta keep trying
