That is a great idea Marianne... I've still got my fingers crossed for you hoping you get in. The letter of intent will hopefully help If so, you should definately implement that email deal.

I am also curious to know if anyone, from either class of 2008/2009, has been successful in purchasing a house? And if so, what is the going rate per month?
Thanks!

medicine1 said:Brian, DrB, anybody who has pictures, please help me post some pictures of our school!
medicine1 said:Frank51,
You need to stop posting fallacious questions that are illogical, irrelevant, and deceptive. Take your USMLE at an allopathic school, and leave us alone.
Frank51 posted the following:
"I just hope that DO schools understand that students need to spend the majority of their time studying for their science classes, after all many of the more competitive allopathic programs almost require students to take the USMLE, which tests the students knowledge with regards to the science courses, not OMM. BTW, at schools where the grading system is A,B, etc. do students receive a grade for OMT? or is it pass/fail?"
Apropos, how on earth would we know how many As,Bs, and Cs the students have in OMM class, or any class for that matter? We don't even start until August 2005. And why are you so worried about OMM? And why do you pose doubts on our performance in OMM class?
Do you really think the COMLEX only tests one's knowledge on OMM?
The COMLEX tests a students overall knoweldge in the basic/clinical sciences, as well as OMM.
DrB said:Hey buddy, why do you care? In four years we will all be licensed physicians. It has been discussed to nausea the compatibility of the USMLE and the COMLEX. If it worries you so much then take the USMLE and if you would like take the COMLEX. Just because the USMLE doesn't include OMM doesn't mean it is a better test, or is the crown jewel of competitive residency slots. You should take the question back to an allo forum for they will give you the bias answer you seek. Since you posted it here...
DrB said:The COMLEX is a much better exam for testing the physician's ability to care for patients.
Hey take it easy Frank. You came to the 2009 thread asking questions and tell a 2009 student to not respond? Your questions are very valid, but go start a new thread and title it " Attn Touro-NV c/o 2008" and hold your discussions there. And by the way DrB is one of the spokesman as he is part of class of 2009.. the name of this thread. Capiche?frank51 said:Youre now changing the subject, the reason for the presence of irrelevant information on this thread is because medicine1 took my question from this thread and posted it on this thread. Like I mentioned before, my questions concerne the students attending Touro at the present time, not you. BTW, you are not the spokesman for this thread so avoid the phrase we.

LVDoc said:Hey Guys,
I just got the e-mail on friday, and I will most definitely be joining all of you in the fall!!! I just can't believe it still. It's so surreal to me. I thought I was going to end up moving to the midwest, but heck, now it's only going to be 4 hours away! I originally had my interview invite sent out on Nov. 29th, but for some reason, it got lost in the mail and out of some strange twist of events I ended up calling them 2 months later to find out I could still visit the place; I was so amazed with the school, and it literally became my #1 choice within 5 minutes of being there. You know how a lot of people tell you that you need to find a school that's the right fit for you? Well, I kinda believed in that to some degree, but I was really worried in the beginning about getting at least one acceptance in the bag and wondering about whether or not I would like the place until afterwards. Totally different experience at NV! The curriculum is great, the school is new and beautiful, the location is awesome, and most importantly, every single person I met from the class of 2008 was so friendly and welcoming! I could tell that's the kind of environment I wanted to be in for the next four years.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to meeting each and everyone of you! I'll probably be joining the Google Group real soon, and my family and I are thinking about heading on a trip back to Vegas in the next 1-2 or weeks to go check out the housing. I still have no idea what type of living arrangements I'm going to have, but we'll see soon enough!
PM me or e-mail me or what not. I'd be happy to talk to any one of you! I really do think we should all meet up and have a social get-together sometime before class starts though. It'd be kinda neat knowing who everyone already is on the first day!

medicine1 said:Those are some very competitive residency programs. I would love to know how you answered some of those questions. I got 1. Hematology 2.Nephrology 3. General Surgery 4. Ob/GYN 5. Nuclear Med 6. Neurosurgery...
I am not sure how close these really are to one another in aptitude.
medicine1 said:So far 89 students have been enrolled.
11 more to go.
TranquilityLove said:It is deposit paid AND there has been talk of raising the class number to 108 or even 120.... but that is just what I have been told by current students, not by Roger. So take that as you will, we will have to see what shakes out in the end.
