How long after the phone interview did you receive your acceptance?
I applied to the DO school and was offered an interview for the DO school at Middletown. After I was declined a seat I was able to move my materials to the masters application, so I didn't have to go through a phone interview.
I still haven't heard from anyone from the Middletown campus and have left numerous messages and emails to Dr. Jones as well as Francis Rose. Does anyone know when the best time to reach anyone at the school might be?

Are you sure you have the correct number? Dr. Jones is understandbly busy but Frank has always been responsive when I called the number I usually reach him at is (845) 648-1111 Iusually call around noon
@ 1:15, He mentions that you will become a Primary Care Physician. Does this mean that students accepted to TouroCOM Middletown campus will not have a choice to go into a specialty? Can they do that?

Hey all so I got a tour of the Middletown campus yesterday and heres some info for those curious:
regarding dorms: the contracts are under Horizon (Frank said theyre in charge of that and students mail checks to them NOT touro), the dorms are really nice, there are 2 kinds. On the upper levels are the "smaller" dorms (since the building used to be a hospital these are the old single patient rooms) and on the 3rd floor they are adding new dorms and these are the larger dorm rooms (the old double patient rooms). The larger dorms are little more expensive. All dorms include a TV, wifi, bed, dresser, wardrobe, and desk, private bathrooms but some have showers while others dont. On every floor there is a communal shower room and floors are separated by men/women. Students are allowed a mini fridge, no hot plates. The kitchenette doesnt have a stove
only a refrigerator and microwaves.
The labs are amazing especially the plastination lab, they also have a separate area for the virtual anatomy lab (but having spoken to a current DO it's amazing but there's a high learning curve involved when you're trying to use it). They have lounges and a game room (theyre adding more stuff there as per requested by students). There are two larger lecture halls and theyre making another. Theres tons of rooms to study in, whether group study or the library has study areas but apparently most people study in their room. They have lockers everywhere, cafe and cafeteria downstairs. For dorms you must purchase a meal plan. The DO student who gave me the tour said the food is a hit or miss, some people loved it ithers not so much. The whole building looked great and everythings obviously new, the school's very high tech I loved it. Nearby theres a gyro place right in front of the school and down the main street theres lots of places to eat. The scenery is amazing and there are some rooms that overlook the valley. All in all I was really pleased with everything.

Hey guys I just received my acceptance(like 30 minutes ago). I sent back my declaration of attendance and want to know if I have to wait for info on the dorms or can I contact them like now to secure a spot?

Great info! Thanks a bunch! In the kitchenettes were there at least mini sinks? Like what if I need to wash a mug? Lol and do you know whether we get specs on things like the bed. Is it just the standard twin xl?Hey all so I got a tour of the Middletown campus yesterday and heres some info for those curious:

That's the main goal of an osteopathic school but you can do whatever specialty you want.

So each room has a bathroom with toilet/sink (and the bathrooms are generously large) don't know how you feel about washing there haha but people do it! I didn't see any sinks in the kitchnettes (but it was a quick glance so not too sure) but the lounge areas have them and multiple classrooms have sinks in them. And for beds I'm not sure the specs, i think it is standard twin xl but I'm definitely calling tomorrow regarding the dorms so I'll be sure to ask.
hey I also interviewed yesterday, but in person (I drove up to the campus) and got my acceptance today at around 4.
Wow that was quick. Congratulations
Did you get a call or email?
How long have you been waiting ?
a few days

If you email who ever you've been talking to theyll give you all the forms and setting up your Touro email. When I asked it wasn't all setup but I received the stuff within a few days (June 8)
I finally got an email reply from Dr. Jones asking to have a phone conversation, exact words, on Friday. Is this meant to be an interview or just a conversation about my application? How did the people who interviewed already get their interview appointments?

I didn't interview for the ms program but either way be prepared to impress since he's the program director. Good luck!

Ok great thanks! Any advice on how he is and what I should expect?
I got an email back from one of the professors stating she's interested in an interview and when I can set up with her. But it seems like a phone conversation could mean the same thing? Because my interview was over the phone as well. Good luck!
I hope so! Do you have any advice from your interview that could be helpful?

I interviewed with Dr. Jones in person, he's very nice and pleasant, he had my application open in front of him and he started off with if i had applied to medical school this yr and what i felt my weaknesses were. He definitely will ask you specifics regarding grades so make sure to knwo your app, he also asked me about why i felt like this program would be good for me and at the end he asked what he can say to me to get me to come to this proram (so basically have questions ready to ask him) good luck!
I got accepted to the Middletown program as well!! So from what I've read on here you have to purchase a meal plan for the dorms. Anyone know how much they cost/how many meals they cover? I'd rather cook for myself actually.

And we also need to create a facebook group. I would have created one myself but I don't know anyone going and it wouldn't let me make it without other people. If any of you guys which posted that you got in is willing to PM me, we can add each other on FB and do it that way?

Thanks! And you might want to rename the group. According to the class rep at Harlem the group shouldn't have the school's name
I was scheduled to have a phone conversation with Dr. Jones at 10 this morning and I still haven't heard from him. I tried calling his office and the admissions office but I no one is answering. Any advice on what I should do?
Maybe send him a quick email reminding him and tell him when you'll be free to talk on the phone?
Yea I did that just seems unprofessional.

Anyone get an interview invite from Middletown recently? I was accepted at the Harlem campus but had my papers also sent to Middletown because its closer to my hometown. Just want to free up seats for people if I'm not sure if im definitely attending!

That stuff should be under the forms section which is under student life or students
He sent out another email afterwards, did you get it?
