Hey...just wondering if interviewing at Touro (both CA and NV) in late Feb is way too late? That's when I'll be heading out there...but I'm a little nervous that the class will pretty much be full by then. I have a low MCAT score (23), but my combined grad and undergrad gpa is 3.77. Any thoughts?

My thoughts are the following:

You have a good shot. They retain spots for competitive applicants even late into the cycle. Make sure you make a memorable impression. Take CVs and updated (good) transcripts. Send letters of interest or, if possible, a letter of intent (if you mean it..).

The MCAT isn't impressive, but the GPA is. In my brief experience on SDN, I have come to realize that DO schools appreciate GPA more than MCAT...

Best of luck and don't be nervous!

Later the interview the lower chance of acceptance.

But they wouldnt interview people if they were going to accept at least a few.
