Sure, I have a 3.77 cGPA, 3.89 sGPA, 508 MCAT. Not the most impressive on the stats but I have several years of experience doing social work in the Bay Area and am familiar with the community agencies that Touro partners with. I also scribed for a DO for a year. I'm a "career changer" so I've been out of undergrad for over 4 years.
Thanks! Best of luck on the interview.

Nope not yet!
My first impression of Mare Island was that I could see myself going to school there. A lot of people have mentioned that the abandoned buildings are creepy, but I actually didn't mind that at all. It's a nice place and the buildings for the school (library, classrooms, labs) were decent.
I can also add to this : ) Mare Island itself has lots of really pretty houses that you will drive by on the way up to campus. The campus itself is outdated but its not bad and the facilities are standard and seem well kept. Berkeley, Napa, and Walnut Creek are all a very short drive away so that is a huge plus for me!
Have you had to travel far for your rotations? And are there certain rotations that are more popular/harder to get due to interest? Thanks for the info--it's always good to get insider info!
I just got accepted! I think it's important to be loud and concise in a group interview. (One interviewee talked for a really long time and you could tell the interviewers were frustrated and kept looking at the clock) Also, make sure to be honest about your app and provide answers with an example that the interviewers can follow. Try to engage the other interviewees and if you can reference them by their name in one of your answers then it's even better. I thought the group interview was going to be scary but it was actually really fun and I enjoyed listening to other people's stories.
That was fast! Congrats 🙂 Are you OOS?
Thanks so much! 🙂
I believe they interview about 500 and end up with an entering class size of 130. Im guessing they accept about 200?
Thanks! 🙂
Im IS, bay area
I think they will email us around May 15th to request a second deposit of $1000 and then around the beginning of June they will reach out to all accepted students and create a new student listserv so we can communicate with each other. They've got some great info on the TUCOM student website which you can access already with your TUC ID. I was checking out the calendar for next year--looks like classes will start up in August!
I believe applications are rolling until April 1, so you have plenty of time before the deadline. I'm not sure how far out they're scheduling interviews at this time, but there is technically all of December, January, February, March and April for you to hear back from them. I would say if you're interested in this school and are able to pay the app fee, go for it!
Congratulations!!!!!!! Did they give you a date for when they would let you know of acceptance decision?
During the interview, did they say anything like "we'll let you know whether you're accepted, waitlisted or rejected by date xyz?"
At my interview the student tour guide said that the P/F system was supposed to roll out this year and that administration even sent out an email. But they ended up being unable to do it this year because of technical issues and I guess accreditation related things? Hopefully they are getting that all sorted out now so that they can roll it out for the incoming class!
