Thanks @kkosp2451 . You probably right but don't they look at our whole application materials (including MCAT scores) for matriculation?
In my experience sometimes they're very responsive and at other times you might not hear back for a few days.Does anyone have a better way to get in touch with the admissions office at Middletown or with Dr. Jones? I haven't been able to reach anyone in the past few days and I'm wondering about the status of my application still
CGPA 3.24congrats to those recently accepted! if you don't mind would you be able to post your stats? I'm not really sure what the range is for students in the MS program (i think I saw someone mention a 24 MCAT in previous responses)
please and thank you!
Acceptance letter strictly says all you need is the 3.5 and pass on comprehensive exam and you're guaranteed admission into the medical class. I'm so glad they don't look at anything else.Thanks @kkosp2451 . You probably right but don't they look at our whole application materials (including MCAT scores) for matriculation?
So am I the only one feeling this way? After getting accepted I was super excited and happy and still know this is a great opportunity to pursue my dream. Of course there's no room for self doubts but I am a bit worried about how inundated we'll be with the work load, how long will it take to understand how to approach studying. And yes people say not to study before med school but this program decides whether we'll make it to med school. It's ok to get a 3.0 in med school but not in this program so it's freaking me out a little. Lol ugh
And I'll be applying to other schools just in case but how do students find the time to attend interviews?

Hey everyone! Need some advice, I was accepted two weeks ago to Middletown but I would like to defer it. Has anyone had any luck deferring their acceptance from here? I can't get anyone from Middletown to call or email me back. I know it's a very busy time for them but I'm getting nervous because I have a week to make a decision. Thanks!

Hey,
I would say to email the person you sent your application to, telling them you're not going.
The sooner the better.
There's a few people still waiting and that would definitely give them a chance to see how many spots are left to give.
Just got an interview scheduled for next week! Will be visiting the campus, any pointers on questions asked? (Or just the typical why DO, why Touro, why medicine? )
I just received my phone interview for tuesday. I applied to the medical school and was rejected so I asked them to use all my recs and information from that. My question really is how quick should we know if we are accepted and if there is a lot of spaces left? I was accepted to Lecoms MS but I'd much rather come here.
Jeez lol. Alright I guess I'll wait it out. Any thing I should be looking for in the interview besides the tell me about yourself, the why touro and why a doctor questions?
Congrats! Do you mind sharing your stats? And when you sent in your application?
woah! 35 remaining seats or 35 is the class size? thats a little scary nowI didn't remember to ask, I did ask about the class size and was told around 35
Thanks! Mcat 23, sgpa 3.2 cgpa 3.5, publications, and experience in health ec's

Better than Nova's which only takes like 18 though not on rolling admissions. Since I'm coming from Fl the sooner the better. It'd suck to move in less than a month.
For those interviewing congratulations and good luck!
If possible can you guys let me know how much room there is in the dorms? I'm trying to decide if I need to bring storage containers/small book shelves, closet organizers and a small side table and if they'll fit. I just don't remember the size of the dorm room. Thanks a bunch!
Did you guys receive a confirmation after you submitted your application? I submitted mine about 2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything since.
Thanks a lot!I'll let you know when I go on tuesday! Hopefully theyll give me a tour of the dorms I'm interested in finding out as well haha
Nope! What I did was called Francis the next day and he confirmed whether my app was in
Anybody know how we can get a fb group going for class of 2016 at Middletown?
Do not be nervous; it'll screw you over. I think it definitely screwed me over bc my interviewers here were much less conversational than at other schools.Any pointers for the interview?
I have one coming up and it would be my first interview so I'm a little nervous.
Thanks!
Hey @desi0chick thank for reaching out and congrats!hey guys! I'm a previous masters student that was recently accepted to the TouroCOM class of 2019. I was in your shoes at some point and remember having lots of questions- feel free to pm me with any questions- i believe there's a facebook group of the masters class as well if you have any other questions. good luck!
Hey @desi0chick thank for reaching out and congrats!
Everybody says not to study before med school but would you recommend it since this program determines if we get into the med school? Especially if one doesn't have a science background? And how's the course load? Did you ever get free time to just relax or workout?
Also are students super competitive?
Thanks a lot and good luck in the upcoming year.
First day of classSo is July 27th the first day of classes or the first day of the summer anatomy class?
Good to know. Thanks a lot!!I personally didn't study before the program, but then again I was coming right out of undergrad- so instead of studying I made sure to enjoy my summer because I had already taken so much science in undergrad. I was contemplating on taking the summer anatomy course but didn't do it because I figured I would just study hard for it. Therefore if you don't have a science background, I would probably consider taking summer anatomy. It's hard to pre-study for any of the courses without having access to the iTunes and from what I've heard this semester there are small changes being made to the curriculum so I wouldn't waste my time trying to study for something when the syllabus hasn't even been set. Free time definitely exists- but usually after exams haha. So make sure to enjoy yourself and celebrate when you do well on an exam-studying 24/7 isn't the way to go, planning right is. I personally didn't have time to work out because I didn't make it a priority much (oops) but I strongly encourage it!
This program is known to be competitive so yes, students are competitive- you will be competing with many smart students in the masters program but we're all in this together so don't let that competition get in the way of things. You all have potential if you made it in the program- just keep your end goal in mind! Also don't lose faith, there were times I questioned if I'd make it, but believe in yourself and REACH out for help, first years, second years and prior masters students are always willing to help, good luck guys!
