When is the last day for someone from the WL group can be given an acceptance? And when is orientation week?

Acceptance off WL from everything I’ve read seem to be into mid July. Orientation week is the last week of July.

I'm having the hardest time. I've committed to another school but TouroCOM is my top choice (I'm INCREDIBLY grateful to have another school I can attend - please don't get me wrong). Classes at the other school start July 1st, I'm so afraid I'm going to not hear from TouroCOM and then get in off the waitlist, while I'm already at another school. Does anyone have any idea on how to handle this? Or expectations on when people would start to hear back? Or even advice from people who switched schools last minute?
So stressful, I hope you're all staying hopeful! :)
 
Withdrawing my acceptance. Hope it goes to one of you

Does the waitlist status email guarantee an A based off of past cycles? I got one a week and a half ago but no A as of yet.

We are ranked but it is not stagnant. A few students have been waitlisted for a few months, including me, so welcome to the club of wait and see. Who knows today may be your day. It all depends on where you are ranked.

I’m sorry I should’ve specified. I’m talking about the waitlist status check email br0228~ received about a week and a half ago. This is different from the original waitlist email that we all received when we were put on the waitlist.

Do you mean the pathologist assistant email thing? Thats probably nothing. Touro has a lot of other healthcare schools that probably send out things to see if anyones interested

Now I understand your previous question because the same thing happened to someone else in this thread and received an acceptance the next day. So far only one came forward with that info.

Hi. So some update about the fb additions. Last ~2 weeks, all the addition have been random rising second years. Pretty sure most of us are just trying to get in, in order to send out announcement for student orgs. Pretty sure the number is still hasn’t hit 120. Don’t know why they’re taking so long to move with the WL tho.

I know I did some digging for this but question about the mandatory status of classes—do you know if that was the case for your class because of COVID or has showing up to class always been optional (aside from the clicker points?)
I emailed Steven the Director of Admissions and he said that the clicker sessions will be mandatory again this year, but who knows things might change.

Based on the recent emails people got (me included) doesn't seem like there will be much waitlist movement. I've read from previous cycles though there are always several people that get pulled the day of orientation. Even that I would gladly take, though it would suck planning wise.

what email did you get from the school regarding the Waitlist?

Yea, same one other people posted, saying that this year is less movement than usual and that its unlikely we will get off the waitlist. might be good news for people that didn't get the email, but don't want to give anyone false hope.

I did not get that email - how about you? Still holding on to a sliver of hope... for better or worse!
 
Just confirmed housing at another school, will be taking my name off the waitlist. So sad but hopefully will be in NYC some day <3 Wishing you all the best of luck, future doctors! Don't hesitate to DM me if you need anything!

Does anyone know if the white coat ceremony is mandatory?
You should ask the admissions office.

It's supposed to be a rite of passage and a memorable event for you and your family !
Not to mention, its a inspiring moment of for your younger siblings, if any.

I believe its mandatory since it is a part of orientation (I believe all of it was mandatory for us last year). However like the person above said, its best to just ask Touro.
