Has anyone had any luck finding a recent (~ <2 years) match list for this school? I've looked everywhere and I cant seem to find it. Do I need to reach out to the school and have them send it to me?

Thank you sm! I got in here last week and I plan on attending.

From what you’ve seen, was this a low year for number of surgery matches?

Yeah it was probably slightly less than average, but that's probably due to interest in other fields.
 
Should I bother submitting my secondary in mid-Nov?? Received the secondary on late September but have not had a chance to work on it...

If money isn't an issue then I would submit it

Submit! The sooner the better, but we are known to still interview students who submit late in the winter.

Unfortunately got a post-interview R, but congrats to the rest of you who got the A! Quick q, does anyone know if the school offers interview feedback? They may have mentioned it in their presentation, but it's been a while so I forgot

I think it said on my TUC Acceptance Package email, that you'll need to have your MCAT score prior to Feb 1, 2021

Our program does not offer post interview feedback. If you have any questions, they can be directed to our Director of Admissions, although he too will be very limited in what he can say.

Does anyone know the statistics for the post interview acceptance rate? Also is the decision based solely on the interview or do they go back and look at the whole application holistically again?

Hi everyone, for those of you who have received an interview... did you answer EACH of the top prompts with 250 words or less or all of them within 250 words TOTAL (for all prompts)? Also did you answer the bottom two prompts with 500 words or less EACH or 500 words TOTAL (for both prompts)?

I did 250 or 500 words each and was interviewed/accepted.

They still have Zoom sessions on Wednesdays 12-1PST where you can talk to the admissions committee members and ask questions like this. From what I know they're more swamped with applications than ever this year so they're running a bit slower than usual. Link: Touro Talks - Touro University, California

how long from complete date did you guys get an interview?
 
Can anyone who interviewed go over the format of interview day?

What exactly are we doing in a group interview (ie do we just take turns speaking and have to feed off each other or is there no order when speaking)?

Is there an MMI?

Yes, take turns speaking but questions may be different. No MMI.

Some advice: don't think about what other people are saying. DO NOT compare yourself or try to compete with other interviewees. Be genuine in your answers and be yourself. What helped for me was focusing only on the question I was asked and imagining I was in a panel interview (multiple faculty and single interviewee).
