Thank you!i just gave a brief description in paragraph form, kinda just re-hashing primary, but shorter
How long did it take for you to get a secondary after submitting your primary?
MS1 here - feel free to ask any questions about the whole application process or about TUNCOM! We just finished a tiring week long of orientation, but I must say it's been a good learning experience and the faculty/staff are very friendly and caring. My classmates overall are really nice and friendly as well.
Some personal tips to those of you applying (or thinking of applying):
1. Stay positive and resilient throughout the process. Everyone applying will get rejected somewhere, but my personal belief is that if you genuinely want and deserve to become a doctor, you will get into medical school.
2. Be patient. It's a long process, with IIs being given all the way til May. Stop checking your email every five minutes, instead set your phone so you get email notifications, and use the rest of your time doing whatever you've been doing instead.
3. Stop trying to figure out how the adcoms work. For all we know, they could be getting their interviewees by pulling names out of a hat. Only people from the actual admissions committee would know how they're selecting people for interviews, or whether you're a good fit for their school, etc. Fellow applicants telling you what they heard isn't good enough, nor will comparing your stats with accepted applicants tell you whether or not you'll be accepted. Just put in an early and honest application, one that you worked hard on, and hope for the best. It really is all you can (and need) to do.
4. Lastly, stop comparing yourself to other people. I see so many people here trying to understand the application game by asking each other for their stats, when their interview date was, when they got this or that email, etc etc etc. All this does in my opinion is make you more nervous, because now you're thinking "they got ____, why didn't I get it?" Not everyone who interviews early in September/October gets in, and there are plenty of qualified applicants who interview as late as April/May who do get in. You're unique, and you worked hard for a long time to be able to even be in a position to apply to medical school. Your time will come.
Any suggestions on interviewing here? I have heard that they like to grill you to see how you react under pressure.
I submitted my primary on 6/29 and received a secondary 7/20
I was surprised as well2-3 weeks for a secondary? I'm waiting for mine still and it's been a week.
For the people who received interview invites, did you guys just lit your employment, volunteer, research, etc experiences? Or did you also elaborate on these experiences?
I am unsure because on the Touro-CA application, they want us to include this info along with responsbilites, hours worked, how long we worked there. So should we list the experiences and include this information?
OR should we write about the experiences in paragraph form? Advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
Has anyone received a rejection after receiving the “you are under final review” email?
Good to hear! Thank you! 🙂I haven't, but idk why they sent that email! It's like they're trying to create tension & suspense

From previous threads it seems to be a 20 minute interview that is 1:1 and that’s it??Do you (or anyone else) know what kind of interview they have? I don't see it in the confirmation email

7/29Congratulations.When did you submit your secondary?
How are the facilities/professors thus far? Do you like the area around TUNAnother an OSM-1 at TUNCOM. Now that we finished our first exam, I'm also willing to answer questions, albeit we only been in school for about 3 weeks and only 1 week in our newly renovated lecture halls.
It says that they will notify applicants the day of the interview how long before they should expect a decision... but in general do you know how long it takes? Also, with a class size of 180 are lectures done for the entire class or are you broken into smaller lectures?Another an OSM-1 at TUNCOM.
