Interesting that the experience with interviews was so different for us. What made it stressful if you don’t mind me asking? I guess I would expect more consistency

Your confidence level! Be prepared for " How did you handle the worst mistake of your life?".
Ethical questions range about your current knowledge of Physician assisted end of Life issues.
When was it that you realized that Medicine WAS your career?
Some of them have no wrong or right answers..but they want to know your views....

$1000?!?!
Where are you getting this $1000 quote?
I don't specifically have an interview here (yet!), but with the interviews I have, the cost is <$400 for flights and hotel, and <$150 expenses.

Overall I expect to spend a little over $500 per interview.

Wow that’s great for you!
I go to a rural undergrad, and the cheapest flight I could find was $700 round trip! I just guesstimated $300 on hotel for 2-3 nights!

How long did it take people from the under review email to getting a decision?
Click to expand...
I submitted my secondary in late July.
"Secondary received and under review" email 8/1.
Another "under review" email on 8/15.
"Under final review" email today 9/19.
I don't know how I feel about these emails. On one hand I like that they tell me that my app was not just forgotten, but on the other hand the suspense is real lol.

You should try using google flights on Monday. That is when they have the cheapest flights listed. Hotels, I find that looking on google maps "Choice Hotel" option usually gives the cheapest rates (lower than the rate that each school supposedly negotiated with the hotels). PM me if you have questions.

I spoke to my friend who is an OMS-1 here. Her answer was that there are quite a few but good luck getting involved as a first year.

did you pick TUNCOM over other schools? how does it compare to touro ca and touro ny?
Click to expand...

Yes. I had multiple other acceptances. Did not apply to either other touro so I don’t really know how it compares to the others but I am very happy here and would pick TUN again.
 
Any recent acceptances? Interviewed 12 days ago.

Got my "under final review" yesterday....any idea of when I'll be invited to interview? Thanks 🙂
 
Silence since the final review email 9/19.
My app must be going through final final final fiiiinnnnaaaalllllll reviews
 
Came across this question on their secondary and I'm unsure if I should list a non-academic institutional action (ie. was not related to cheating or coursework). I did note the institutional action on my AACOMAS application but not sure if I should relist it in the secondary. This is the question:

Have you ever been under any kind of academic discipline, suspension, or probation, or asked to withdraw from any college or university?

I know them feels, I got mine on the 25th & am just waiting for that invite email....maybe we'll get it on the 3rd (tomorrow) after they let everyone else know of their acceptance/rejection status?

If your situation applies to the question I would highly recommend answering it. Could be portrayed as shady by the AC if you don't list it. Just my 2 cents

I honestly thought we would hear before the 3rd! I didn’t write down how they would notify us though is it by email?

A call & email for an acceptance, email only for waitlist/rejection. I guess it's still pretty early on the west side of the country though

Hang in there guys! I can totally comprehend how you feel because I was in the same boat. I am not sure if this makes you feel better, Touro NV has a fast turnover rate since they only give accepted applicants two weeks make a decision on whether to put down that 2k deposit or not 🙂

Wait we only have two weeks? My email did not give that info
 
Accepted!
II on 9/17 OS
im very grateful! but i got accepted to one of my top choices so i will probably be declining my acceptance so someone else can have it
 
Does anyone know where the clinical rotation sites are?

Yes they do have research opportunities. All the best!
 
Damn it just got the acceptance letter. Do we really only get two weeks? Thought it was AOA requirement for Dec 15 deadline
 
Does anyone have a way to check your application status. I have not received a complete e-mail or anything of that matter. A phone number or e-mail would be perfect. Thank you
