****The Official Touro Class of 2022 Interview/ Acceptance Thread****

Hi Frank! Thanks for creating the thread. How would you describe your experience so far and what is the cost of living like? I'm coming from sunny Florida so I'm wondering if you had to make an adjustment weather wise or how anyone you know has had to. Thanks!

You must be so excited! I have never experienced any other season but summer lol so that should be interesting. I will definitely be checking back to see how it is going for you and as I have more questions. Thank you

 

They mentioned today that the avg DAT for our class was a 21.

 

My status has changed to received/under review as of today.

 

mine as well

 

My friend received an application complete email from them today. In the email they said that the interview season will be October/November till February 2018.

 

Can confirm this! I received the same e-mail!

 

I received the "admission processing fee" email, where I paid the supplemental fee (a little over a week ago) but haven't received the "application complete" email but it on AADSAS it does say "received/under review". Anyone in the same boat, lol did they forget to send me the "app complete" email?

 

Same here, AADSAS has changed status to under review but no app complete email.

 

Just received an email that my app is complete and will be moved to the Committee to review now, but I don't have my official DAT scores in yet.. Has this happened to anyone else? My scores should hopefully be submitted within the next couple of weeks, but they can't really review my application without them.

 

Mine has been complete for more than a week now, although my official dat is up already.

Thanks for the info! About how long did it take for you DAT to be uploaded? It feels like it's been the longest week ever so far

I took mine last year so I called aadsas and they linked it on the phone. If you took it a while ago then you can call aadsas, if not you have to wait.

I took the DAT on 6/8 and the ADA has 6/22 listed next to the schools I listed.

 

Thank you! That's reassuring. I hope my scores get uploaded that quickly!

Does anyone know their DAT requirements?

 

The website doesn't say they require a certain DAT score. Since it's a new school, maybe they're a little more lenient on DAT scores if you have a good GPA, extracurriculars, etc. If the average DAT for dental school in general is around a 20, that means that people matriculating scored both above and below 20.

Once again, the average DAT score for our current D1 class is 21. This is higher than many other schools. According to the administration we were ranked in the top 10% of the country. The current D1 class has some very competitive stats in addition to extracurriculars and what not.

 

The reason being that its a new school and therefore they are gping after stats rather than ec's. This is not a negative on the school at all, but a smart tactic. I actually have applied to the school and have it high on my list.

Yes, I saw your post. That doesn't mean that'll be the class average every year, however. With Touro being such a new school, it's very difficult to compare personal statistics to the current classes. Don't get me wrong, those are impressive stats, but I think it's worth applying even if you don't have a 21AA.

As long as you're a well rounded applicant you can say that about any school really! Good luck to everyone! Feel free to ask questions!!!
