Do schools give out interview to anyone who sends a secondary back? I know this question might seem ridiculous to some, but som,etimes when I look at my stats, I wonder if they actually do that.

Anyways, interview at Touro-MI, no slots open till december 5th. Are more people applying there than ever, or am I just trippin.

What are your stats manfood?
 
let's put it this way, not SDN approved, lol.

I wonder if they feel sorry for me or they were compelled by my story. I am clueless, but all I can humbly say is it is the grace of God that has guided me so far.
 
manfood,

I interviewed at TUCOM and Dr. Haight said that were expecting a 20-25% increase in applications this year. He said he has never seen numbers like this is in his 30+ years doing Admissions at many different medical schools.

TUCOM quick facts--2000 secondaries sent (~1700 returned), 425 interviewed for a class of 125. (these stats are from last year, from Dr. Haight).

Good luck.

Oh yeah, TUCOM only interviews for the medical school on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Touro is one of the few schools which screen the primary AACOMAS application, and selectively send out secondary applications. If you've been solicited to submit a secondary you've already passed muster once with the school.
 
that really does make me happy. It was just weird. They JUST recieved my secondary, and then they give out an interview that day. i'm excited no doubt. do you think it hurts me that my interview is in december?

thanks for teh confidence guys. I'm so humbled by the interviews. Seriously, I never thought I would be here. seriously.

I just cancelled my interview with Touro (MI). So there is one more slot available for you? Best of luck and congrats on the interview. I'm going to DMU. Check it out. 😴 (4:32 a.m. ZZZZZZ)

The answer is NO. So, congrats on your interview!
