if you do not mind me asking, what are your stats? TOURO just received my application today, and I am hoping to hear from them soon

 

[rm2908]

I sent out my app on Wednesday, I'd love to have an interview invite too!! When's your interview??? GOOD LUCK!!!

 

[deleted172531]

My stats can be seen in my mdapps profile. But in general - 28P, 3.16 science GPA and 3.42 overall GPA.

Interview is 8/19 or 8/21.

Good luck.

 

[webcozmo]

Good luck to you all. Roger, the director of admissions is great, and the interview day should be pretty laid back and straight forward.

I'll be starting there at Touro-NV this year. Actually only 5 more days left until the first day. Crap! So Soon!

Let me know if you have any specific questions the interview.

 

[Anton Chigurh]

Wow, time certainly does fly. Congrats to those who have been invited for an interview. If it's your first interview, don't sweat it because it's probably the easiest you'll encounter during the interview season. Roger, as you might already know, is a great guy and will make all of you feel very comfortable on your big day.

 

[rm2908]

Interview on 8/21.. Not my first invite but it'll be my first interview!!
In Las Vegas, exactly one week BEFORE my 21st birthday! haha

 

[deleted172531]

congrats on the interview! Looks like I am the only one on the 19th so far..

 

[rm2908]

i had my choice between the two, but with less than 2 weeks for plane tickets for the 19th, it was way more expensive. i hate such little notice ! ohhh well =)

 

[ph34r]

I also received an interview to touro - it'll be my first one! I'm definitely excited about it. I've been waiting so long for this moment, and it's finally here. I can't believe it'll be next week - 8/21! I've been reading in the databases for questions they ask in the interview, but does anyone have any advice about it? Thanks!

 

[deleted172531]

Just a bump to say hello to the guys I met from the forum at the interview yesterday! And good luck getting that email from Roger next week.

congrats! When you called to schedule did they give you much of a choice on which day you could select for an interview?

 

[rm2908]

Does anyone know what touro-nv residencey list looked like? It was opened in 2004, so this is the first year that one should be available. . . I've seen the list for Touro ca, but I'm sure the satelite schools will have a few differences.

Thanks!

Hi, sounds like there's a lot of people getting interviews from tucom nevada. I also got one today. What's the percent of interviewees that get accepted? I'd also like to know some of the interview questions.

60% Accepted. 30% Waitlisted. 10% Rejected.

Check out the database link at the top of the forum page to get a general idea as to what questions they may or may not ask you and good luck.

 

[soccerchicoc]

anyone interviewing on 9/22 where are you all staying and anyone thinking about carpooling to the school?

 

[Airlife91]

I'm scheduled for an interview on 10/2! Very excited about this school and I can't wait to come check it out. I'm already impressed - Roger was great and very nice.

 

[Jack johnson]

Hey guys, I'm just planning for the interview day. Where's a good hotel or place to stay at which is close to TUCOM? Is there a shuttle or should I just rent a car? thanks

.


fiesta henderson is really cheap and about 5 mins about from the school. there's no shuttle, but i dont think you need to rent a car bc everything is pretty close and cabs will cost less than renting a car (unless you are staying for more than one night). i was there last week and everything (ie transportation, staying, getting there on time) went pretty smoothly. pm me if you want details.
good luck on the interview!!!

and good luck to everyone who interviewed last week. tomorrow's the big day!

 

[EvryBreathAGft]

The adcom met on the 28th to discuss applicants from interviews that were on the 19th and 21st. So it is pretty quick.

 

[thriftnuh]

how long after your AACOMAS was released did you get Touro's secondary?

 

[JamesBond15]

Like 2 weeks.

 

[thriftnuh]

[EvryBreathAGft]

[thriftnuh]

ahhh thanks! actually just received it a few hours ago....wonder if this works with interviews too

thanks!

 

[Jack johnson]

[HCW212]

It's not a group interview. You will be alone with 2 interviewers in a room.

 

[Anton Chigurh]

You're going to introduce yourselves to the group of interviewees for that day, but that's pretty much it. It's not like the group interview like they have in Touro-CA.

 

[soccerchicoc]

so i interview tomorrow and I am hoping that all goes smoothly..... if anyone else is interviewing let me know

 

[Flushot]

I interview on Oct 7th. I'm also trying to arrange a stay with a current student, but it's not going too well. Did anyone happen to do this already?

Good luck tomorrow!
