I haven’t seen anything about the incoming class fb group yet, but yes there is an unofficial group me! Feel free to dm me if you’d like the link 🙂

Anyone know if they are still sending out interview invites? This is my top choice, I am out of state though with no ties to CA.

Idk but I'm hoping so too, still waiting for interview. Someone in this thread earlier said they do interviews through the end of May.

i got one last week, i am in state though idk if that makes a difference

 

[faze_contusion]

They most certainly are. Look at previous year threads + consider that DO schools typically interview thru May or even later.

Those of us that were WL were informed that interviews go on through May because beginning in late May/early June, they start pulling from the WL. Keep your head up, you might get that II soon!

 

[yourmom123]

can someone post that group for accepted students pls

 

[marble rye]

can someone post that group for accepted students pls

Just sent you a dm with the link! If any other accepted folks would like to join, please feel free to message me 🙂

 

[futurephysician1994]

Anyone that was WL planning on sending an update letter? The email said 2 pages but I was wondering if 1 page will be sufficient, since I don't think Dr. Wagner and the rest of the admissions team would want to go through all of updates lol. Any insight from past students?

 

[cl0ckw0rk]

is the interview panel structured in a way where you don't have a 1on1 interview?

 

[Rooks]

is the interview panel structured in a way where you don't have a 1on1 interview?
it's a group interview - 1 medical student, 1 faculty PhD interviewer, 1 MD interviewer. You are in a group with three or four other applicants and you get asked questions, sometimes personalized to you and sometimes addressed to everyone.

this is very helpful, thanks!

 

[Rooks]

this is very helpful, thanks!

Of course! It's mostly a vibe check - pay attention to other people's answers and just demonstrate you are excited to interview there 😊 good luck

 

[mj_lobster]

Withdrew my A, best of luck y'all!

 

[Miao_]

IS II yesterday! Surprised I still receive an interview at this point in the cycle. Can anyone let me know how long the actual panel interview is since the whole session is around 5 hours? Thank you!

Congrats! The panel interview was under an hour for sure, good luck!

 

[shernixx]

Does anyone have a link to their match list from this year? I couldn’t find it

 

[yourmom123]

i think someone mentioned it isnt finalized until June or something like that

 

[marble rye]

Does anyone have a link to their match list from this year? I couldn’t find it

Apparently they don’t release the full list until sometime in May or June. But I did hear the match was really good, including anesthesia, derm, ortho, pathology, and radiology (there was even an ortho match at UCSF!) Common programs were Kaiser Sacramento, St. Joseph’s Stockton, UCSF Fresno, UCSF, UCLA, UCSD, and several out of state. Hope this helps!

Thank you!! I heard they matched really well this year too so was just curious if they had the list out yet

Hugeeeeee achievement there! TOURO matches well into CA. Will be interesting to see what changes with the increased class size. CHSU's match list wasn't too bad either.

CHSU also received its 7-year accreditation status so big things are coming to their program too!

 

[Rooks]

Will be withdrawing my acceptance from this program soon. Anyone know the deadline?

 

[yourmom123]

Anyone know when the second deposit is due or what to do next? I’m so confused like the school has had virtually no communication with me since the A

 

[DOinProgress2023]

anyone know the time frame they would call for acceptances?

Hi, they usually don't call for acceptances; most forms of official communication and updates is through email and/or postal mail. For the time of the email update release, the timing may vary depending on how busy the admissions office is.

From what I recall, they only call applicants who are on the WL if they later on become accepted.

Hope this helps!

 

[DOinProgress2023]

Here's what I saw from one of the people who posted on the GroupMe

 

[Kaiiiii]

Could someone who attends/attended Touro CA please let me know about the quality of the clinical rotation sites? Is there a high patient volume? Is it common to have to drive far to attend different core rotations sites? How common is it to stay at one place?

 

[Rooks]

I was told you could drive up to 60 miles

 

[Bheemam]

Anyone know when the second deposit is due or what to do next? I’m so confused like the school has had virtually no communication with me since the A

The second deposit is due on May 15th I believe. If you log into your Touro One portal and go to TUConnect, you will find a webpage with tons of information as well as a checklist of things to do before orientation. They just opened this page 2 days ago.

 

[yourmom123]

This one is refundable correct?

I am a fellow applicant, but I asked this question during the Touro talks/OMS1 panels/on interview day. Basically, Touro doesn’t have its own hospital. Rather that have contracts with various hospitals throughout California, with most of them being in Napa, Fairfield, Vallejo, Stockton area, Fresno area and some in Bakersfield. You get rotation locations based on a lottery system, so you might not always get the exact location you want. From what the current med students said, it sounds like it’s pretty typical to have to move around a few times in 3rd and 4th years for your rotations. Most of them said they move for their rotations as it is unlikely to get all of your rotations close to the Touro campus.

If any OMS’s or Adcoms are reading this and I said anything inaccurate, please correct me if I’m wrong.

[faze_contusion]

This is Google-able information. Touro CA does not have its own hospital.

Dannggggggggg I really hope I get off the WL now, this looks like a really good match!

 

[DOctorCAL1]

How often/intense are the exams at Touro?

first semester is often - like every week ish because you have anatomy running at the same time as fundamentals of medicine modules (which includes cell bio, immuno, biochem, etc.) the exams themselves are not that intense. There are anki decks made by past years and also google drives. On top of that, there are practice questions professors give. Also, it is pass fail! So definitely, doable.

 

[DOctorCAL1]

let me know if yall have any other questions. feel free to message me on here if its something private.
I have free time now that it is spring break this coming week.

 

[JTD5900]

Thanks for answering! But I heard from the Adm Com that Touro has a teaching hospital.

We wish lmao. You probably heard there is a Touro residency program in stockton from touro alums, but absolutely is not on campus or in vallejo.

 

[sleeroy]

I was wondering if anyone has gotten their financial aid packages yet? Thanks!

 

[DOctorCAL1]

I was wondering if anyone has gotten their financial aid packages yet? Thanks!

they are behind this year due to fafsa changes. It won't come til May or June.
The school does not have grants or scholarships so just expect to either pay out of pocket or take out federal loans for the amount

 

[Rooks]

Just withdrew my acceptance, I hope it goes to one of y'all 🙂

 

[futurephysician1994]

Just withdrew my acceptance, I hope it goes to one of y'all 🙂

You're a real one! 😭

 

[futurephysician1994]

For anyone that was WL previous years and was taken off: how quickly were you able to find housing? I'm worried that if I get off the WL it will be near the start of the semester and will struggle to find a place to live lol

 

[DOctorCAL1]

For anyone that was WL previous years and was taken off: how quickly were you able to find housing? I'm worried that if I get off the WL it will be near the start of the semester and will struggle to find a place to live lol

Finding housing is not that difficult. There is always rooms for rent near campus or if you want more privacy there’s always a ton of apartments and studios for rent a little further from campus. I know people that were waitlisted that got housing pretty quickly. It’s not anything to really worry about.

 

[DOinProgress2023]

Hi, current OMS-1 here, actually the school does have a limited amount of scholarships - one of them is the IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Anti-Racism) Scholarship, and the amount varies depending on the amount budgeted to scholarships by the admin and the number of people who apply, etc. From this past year, the IDEA Scholarship recipients received $8000 for the whole year, divided into two semesters so $4000 each semester. There's some criteria to qualify for the scholarship and I believe that info will be sent out to all incoming OMS-1's
