What did you say on the interview that got you such a quick acceptance??
 
Not sure, maybe that I had already gotten into 2 other schools?
I disagree. That would be a reason not to accept you. Unless you were able to prove to them that you would rather pick touro over the other schools.

How would she know what she said was the deciding factor?

I think touro picks for stats more than anything.
 
anyone staying near La Quinta for tomorrow interview wanna go out for dinner?
 
I wonder when we will even be placed on the waitlist? People on my interview day already heard back, and I'm feeling like I didn't get chosen.

I told them that I would rather attend Touro then the other schools.

Did they say anything about giving out more interviews?
How was the interview? Did you like the campus?

Good luck, I hope you hear back soon :)

They didn't make any mention of giving out any interviews specifically but the student ambassadors did mention that if you've already made it this far you already have a pretty good chance. They also said that they had someone who was accepted during their orientation week so there's hope until then.

The interview itself was VERY relaxed, my interviewer did most of the talking (lots of praise about my stats, other compliments, career advice etc), I probably said a combined total of 15 sentences. There were only 4 or 5 questions that were very "interviewy" including "Why Touro" and "Why dentistry".

Our tour took us to the building where the medical school students hangout because that's where the gross anatomy lab, the student lounge, study room, and library are (the dental building has a student lounge and library too but they said the medical one is open longer). We also toured the dental building and they showed us the sim lab (which was awesome) and the lounge there. There's still some construction there and the clinic isn't open yet.

The campus itself is very large, 55 acres for students of all health disciplines. It's also an older school so it has a lot of history. It's not exactly spectacular in terms of looks but the school and the area around have a very small town feel to it.

All in all, if I was a resident of New York or neighboring states I would definitely go here. The opening lecture the dean gave us really made a good impression on me.

Note: sorry for wall of text but I figured the information will be of use to someone.

THANK YOU SO MUCH ;) You are amazing! Hope you hear back from them soon!
 
One of the faculty, older man in his 70s. Really cool guy, was very casual when he'd talk to me.

Would you choose Touro over other private schools like NYU or Nova.
 
Anyone hear back from yesterday interview yet? I know someone got accepted this morning interviewed yesterday lol
 
Just heard back guys, I cried. If you just had your interview, they usually choose the cream of the crop within 2 days but I think the interviewers hold a meeting the coming wednesday to discuss on making your decision so you should hear back next thursday morning. I wish you guys the best of luck! Thank you for a great ride.
