No they dont have anything in the clinic yet. I dont remember exactly, but i think they said after we finish the first year, the clinics are ready.
This was my first interview. I'm sure other schools have great facilities as well, but there are a lot of people that have been trying to tear Touro down for the simple reason that it's a new school. Terrible reasoning in my opinion. They have a fresh start and the perfect opportunity to bring in state-of-the-art dental technologies that we were shown on one of the tours. The sim lab was still under construction, of course, but the designated area was huge. Should be a great asset.
Yes, still under construction. And the future tuition should be similar to the first year with a potential for a 5% increase at most, if I understood correctly. I only recall them mentioning the pediatric and omfs clinics.
And the interview, although advertised as closed file, was indeed not. They had access to our grades as I heard many interviewees mentioning they were asked about those, but I personally, was not asked about mine, although my interviewer did have them at hand. I would say be prepared to discuss your grades and scores, just in case.
Sure, that's the job of the interviewer. He or she has to glean a perception of you that they then have to share with the admissions board to aid in making their decisions. They will have either a favorable recommendation or not. In your case, it sounds like the former, so great job and best of luck to you! I had a similar experience🙂
Roughly 2200 applicants, 400 interviews, 110 seats. You're very welcome!
How many interviews you think they gave out already?
That I'm not too sure of, but I hear they'll be interviewing through April.
which hotel do you recommend to stay ?
I can't recommend any hotels, as I didn't stay in one, sorry. I'm sure their website has more information on travel accommodations.
There is housing on campus that is shared with the medical students and they will be tearing down and rebuilding a new residential hall for additional housing that they said would be ready very soon. The surrounding area is very scenic. I know of a few malls in the area and other recreational activities. You're also not too far the city which has endless options. We don't know for sure when we'll be hearing back as they can't release any information until they receive full accreditation and permission to do so. They hope to receive both within the next month or so, but it could be sooner. That's completely out of their hands as it's a third-party issue. Again, they are not authorized to release decisions until they are fully accredited. And yes, they plan on using cadavers in the anatomy courses.
Did you get accepted to that school where you had the same experience?
My similar experience was at Touro lol still waiting for the decision, of course.
Haha, I slept for just 3 hours thinking about the interview, certain questions I could have answered them differently but being under stress things don't always work the way you expect them. But I am hoping we both get in. Was that your only interview? For me it was and I can't wrap my head around not getting in.
Aw, don't stress out about that. You had your interview, I'm sure they liked you and don't overthink your answers. Not much you can do at this point. Remember that out of 2200+ applicants, they chose you, so that must mean something! Just stay calm, breathe and stay positive🙂 And so far this is the only school I've interviewed at so I completely understand your concern. Hang in there!
Did you send a thank you email? I did, I heard that shows the people that you are still interested in the school. Hopefully that's true. I am going to try to keep myself busy working out these days maybe that would help.
yes, I did send one!
was the3e any thing to mail out. I mean I only paid the aadsas fee and that was it. were we supposed to do anything else, it say on the aadsas portal that my app is complete.
