A from the waitlist yesterday! Is there a group for accepted students going yet? I'm a low GPA reapplicant so I still can't believe this is real life 😭

Best of luck to everyone waiting to hear back/waitlisted!

My interview experience today felt more like an interrogation than conversational. The questions were standard questions you would get, but they also asked questions related to my application and a few ethical scenarios. I felt like I got a stressful vibe during the interview and the interview day.

When I got waitlisted at the middletown campus, they said they don't start moving people off until May. It's nice that Harlem has earlier movement

Interviewed 11/6, Waitlist 12/6, A 12/8. I was confused by that May email as well. I assume movement continues up until May but really ramps up in May like probs a huge wave.

Current OMS-1. There was a huge WL movement for our year. I know people who were even accepted off the waitlist as school was starting. However, this most definitely will vary from year to year.

Was told in my interview session it is pretty chill/collaborative and reached out to another Touro NY student who said it is collaborative (study resources are shared between all campuses). I am still curious to hear from any other current Touro student though?

Vibes are amazing and much better at TouroCOM than at other schools from what I have heard. Not much to "collaborate" on really but people form study groups or study alone, it's purely based on how you learn best. I used to think studying in groups was the only way I could learn, but I do 90% of my studying alone now.
Resources are somewhat collaborative and are indeed shared amongst campuses. All 3 campuses take the same exams but the way the content is delivered varies between each professor per campus. The support system from faculty and peers seems to be incredible and a huge advantage of the school.
I believe (don't take my word for it) the teaching system will be changing next year to block system for first years in 2024 which will have its pros and cons but is in line with most medical schools.

Awesome I also heard about this from the student and the potential curriculum change. How is the campus/area itself?

Harlem has its pros and cons. A lot of students live in the area with no issues. However, it is not known to be the safest area, that's also just NYC. Be smart and you will be fine. I will note that it is nice to see the school enriched in a community that appreciates the support so that is a positive. Not too sure how the campus compares to other schools but I do have mixed feelings. Regardless, my negatives are negligible and should not make or break your decision to come to the school. In short, I would absolutely choose this school again if given the choice.

would love to speak more to you or a classmate to connect with someone at the school especially about the curriculum (M1/2) and rotation sites (M3/4s would be great but I understand hard to know them if they're away) ! trying to make my decision

I got one. Debating on taking it or sticking with my current preference. I wonder if anyone got the email, stuck to their preference, and got an interview at the other locations they wanted.

I'm also debating. the email sounded like they weren't offering any more interviews at the NY campus though. No idea what the latest date we can respond is.

I doubt theyre done sending out interviews. I just thought they were saying well since not everyone will get an interview from harlem here’s an alternative offer if you still want to be affiliated with touro
