Do they have student housing for the interview?

I don't believe they do, but I remember they included information about a couple hotels nearby you could stay at!

II today.
They were waiting for my AP scores to be sent through the mail from college board. I think it got lost in the mail but luckily I got mailed a copy too. When I scanned it and sent it to admissions, they sent me an II before marking my application as complete.

Did the school contact you to send your AP scores?

Does this school often pull a significant number of students from the wait list?
 
For those who interviewed, how did they address their low COMLEX pass rates?

Well they mostly talked about their level 1 rates, which are above the national average, and then their general upwards trend since the school opening. Not a peep about level 2 and 3 tho :pompous:
 
Does anyone have any specific dates for orientation yet? Trying to figure out when to wrap up my gap year job and move into an apartment but don't want to cut it too close - Late July/Early August is a little vague :rolleyes:

I thought I saw something with 7/20 as the first day of class. Has anyone gotten any info on any Facebook groups or other info RE housing leads?

Do they serve breakfast at the interview?
also if anyone has advice/tips for interview, send them my way :) I am interviewing tomorrow!
 
There are a few things out for breakfast, nothing too heavy. Know your app and expect that they’ve read it front to back. Be genuine when you answer their questions and ask plenty of your own. Good luck!

No info, I’m looking into 1/BR apartments cause I’m moving in with my BF. Started looking on Loftey and Zillow.

Random question - is there a reason why Touro does the white coat ceremony after the 2 year mark vs other medical schools do it in the beginning of 1st year? I know that this makes no difference in education, but found it a little weird?
Click to expand...
I'm pretty sure they do a white coat ceremony before 1st year starts as well

Secondary complete email 11/11. No news since. Is it time for an update letter? Is the school receptive to that? (MCAT 507+/ GPA 3.5+)
 
Interviewing here in March, would that be for a waitlist spot at this point?
 
Anyone heard back from them recently after an interview? It's been pretty quiet for a while
 
Does anyone know how long it takes to hear back? It has been a while.

This might be too late to ask this, but I honestly don't remember the answer. If you apply to Harlem, is there a way to also get considered at Middletown?
 
danielblank313 said:
So, when you first applied and sent in your secondary, part of that secondary included a check box you needed to fill. If I remember this correctly, you could have chosen to be considered at Harlem, and then have a secondary review at Middletown should Harlem have not been interested.
Click to expand...
Okay, so when exactly does Middletown do this secondary review? Especially if I have not received a rejection from Harlem yet?
 
Besides the fact that it's ranked and they start in May, does anyone have insight on how many students get pulled off the WL?
