I'm hearing stats about our class kicking it with a 97% pass rate for the boards! If it's true, then I'd say Dr. Lenihan prepared us pretty damn well! Take that for what it's worth you guys.

Anyone that sent in their secondaries last week have your checks cashed yet?
Are most of you taking the USMLE along with the COMPLEX? I'm glad the pass rates were so high, but do you know how the scores are comparing to other schools?
On a side note, does anyone use the gym by the cafeteria, or will I be the only fool in there?
rapid responses:
1) COMLEX not COMPLEX
2) Schools dont compare scores, only pass rates. It'd be far too complex (see what i did there) to compile average scores.
3) Plenty of people use the gym at all hours of the day and night, you wont be the odd one there.
wow, my bad. My friends and I have been calling it the Complex for years none the wiser...although I suppose a test called the 'complex' would be pretty intimidating. Its still not as bad as remembering the acronym aacomas.
What year are you DocEspana?
I would second the suggestion of contacting Dr. Bahri with any interest in pathology.
She is a board certified pathologist and one of the nicest, most helpful people teaching at TouroCOM.

good call. mine was in my spam folder too..Received an email stating my secondary and fee payment was received. Check your spam filter. For some reason, Touro was filtered into spam mail this year.
Anyone else submit last week and not get an email yet? Is the email just saying that they have received your secondary, or that they have also received your letters?

This is how it looked...
"Dear Applicant,
Please be advised that we have received your Supplemental Application and fee.
Once your application is deemed complete a notification via email with an invitation to join our Faculty and Staff for an interview at the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine will be sent.
In addition, should your file be incomplete, a notice requesting all outstanding documents will be furnished. "
Going off last year's thread...most people got their official invites a week or two after getting this "Supplemental Received..." Email
Those that received the complete email, have your checks been cashed yet?
I actually sent in a money order, but I read on last year's thread that some people got their official interview invites and the check still wasn't cashed, odd as it seems.
sameI sent mine in 8/24 but haven't gotten an email/my check hasn't been cashed
I wonder when we are going to get our official interview invites
Seems like it has been a week since getting the supplemental received email. I guess I'll just go back to last year's thread and see when they started receiving their's.
I was thinking the same thing. I got that email 10 days ago. From last years thread, it seemed like it was about two weeks.
Just checked last year's thread. Looks like they were all receiving interview invite emails before this same time last year. So that is not a good gauge. Oh well...waiting it is!
Just called to check if they received my supplemental. He said we should hear back by the end of the month and they're going to start doing interviews in October, and they're actually meeting in a couple of minutes to organize it all.
You're probably right. Though in past years they sent out the secondary apps early too. I'm just speculating here, but I think they may have decided to push their interviews a few weeks back this year b/c they only give you two weeks after the acceptance to pay the $2000 deposit. Many applicants still have pending interviews/decisions at other schools this early in the cycle so it was a little unfair.
Mailed out the secondary today.
Anybody know the numbers of how many interviewed vs. accepted at this school?
It really depends on when you interview. I can say that as long as you interview before the end of January, unless you really screw up, you will probably be accepted. After that you're really just interviewing for the wait list. Now that we are established, we have been getting more and more applicants every year. I want to say that when I interviewed the DOA said something like they probably give acceptances to about 500 or more people to eventually get to 135. As far as actual numbers of people that gain interview, that I do not know, sorry!
How long does it take for them to send you the secondary (I understand that not everyone receives a secondary)? My AACOMAS was released on 8/25. It's been almost two weeks... Thanks!
It could be a while...they review the primary app thoroughly b/c everyone that gets AND completes the secondary gets invited to an interview.
Any updates from this school?
It still exists (sorry. Needed to bump this thread. It was getting too close to the bottom of the list of school threads and we're usually one of the most active ones)
Let me get this straight, everyone who gets a secondary app gets an interview?
Thats pretty sweet, I got a secondary with 3.1, 2.99 32O
I'm really confused. I got an email from Touro-NY today asking me to fill out a secondary... which is awesome.
Here's the problem: They already sent me a rejection letter via snail mail at least a month and a half ago. Also, the email is not addressed to me, it's addressed to Dear [applicant name]
And then in the "to" section of the email, my email is not listed... a Harvard email is. My email is literally not listed anywhere on the application... which is strange, cause it was sent to me (not sure how).
Nothing in my app has really changed to make them change their minds... I have a new MCAT coming in next week, but that shouldn't make a difference.
I'm really confused any help?
I received the same email...They have not rejected me though. For those of you who received a secondary earlier, was your name and email included in the invitation email?
I received a supplemental invitation today, however my MCAT scores aren't even in yet.
I found that a bit strange and after looking over this thread, I realized the email was also addressed to a Harvard email and BCCed to me. The text in the email is adressed to [applicant name]...
Has this happened before during previous application cycles? I'm not sure what to think...
Anybody know if they set up any interview dates yet? I sent my secondary in a couple weeks ago but still haven't heard anything from them yet...not even a completed email
