When I called in, they gave me a choice of a certain day, and if you're not available on that day, you could pick the next available interview date.

Good stuff man. Go party you've earned it lol.
haha thanks! how about yourself?
can anyone tell me how the interview at Touro was like? Did they ask typical questions or harder/more specific related questions? I'm getting a bit nervous for my interview so any help would be useful 🙂
does anyone know why touro is looking for a new dean for the college of pharmacy as of november 2013? dean katherine knapp has done quite a lot for the college (in terms of research regarding the state of, outcomes of and progression of pharmacy schools - & overall profession) since its charter class was admitted in 2005. i hope she is just retiring (and not leaving due to other scandalous sorts of reasons), but there has been no announcement or news of her resignation - only a job posting i stumbled upon while deciding between schools:

I have my interview next week...I am concerned on how I will do because I practiced with some of my friends, and some of my answers were a little all over the place and not direct. I am having trouble on improving....Would this be a deal breaker? Touro is my top choice. :/ And I only have one other interview scheduled. I really do not want to mess this up.
which date is your interview?
nope they're not linked..you can get interviews to both schools!
They are linked but you can get interview in both schools

Taken into consideration that it is a group interview, the best advice is to make yourself stand out from the 4 or 5 people in the room. You don't always have to be the first to answer all the time, but just don't be the last to answer because most likely your answers will be taken when it comes to your turn. I like to be the second or third to answer because it gives me time to think of unique answers that aren't used yet by others. Some of the questions asked were interesting and creative, so just have fun with it and be yourself 🙂 Oh and make sure you keep eye contact with ALL the interviewer panelist, not just the one asking you the question..and also to pay attention to what others are saying too. Hope that helps 🙂
Oh it's a group interview?! How many other students are you paired with?
My group was 4 people, and the other group had 5 people.
Can anyone tell me from the past years how likely OR unlikely were people on the high alternative list became accepted into the incoming class??
Very likely (from past two years), ~8 gets in from High. GL
thank you!
Congrats! When was your interview?
Hi everyone!
I'm new to this forum, although have had an account for quite some time. I'm curious to see if anyone just recently submitted their supplemental app. I submitted mine on 1/28/14. I got their email telling me that my application is now complete on 1/30/14. Now I guess it's just a waiting game.
For those of you who already got interview invites, was your interview scheduled within the same week/month of getting your invite. I know that schools interview until April but want to know if those getting invites now in January are actually scheduling for Feb, or are are scheduling later in March-APril

First, you will receive a email like this if you get invited to their interview:
Thank you for your application to the Touro University California College of Pharmacy. The Admissions and Standards Committee recently reviewed your application material and, based on this review, would like to invite you to attend an interview.
Please read this entire message before calling.
You may schedule your interview on any available date during the cycle, but you must contact us within one week from the date of this letter to schedule that interview. Failure to do so will result in the postponement of your application. Please call Ms. Jacqueline Harte toll-free at (888) 880-7336 inside California or (888) 887-7336 outside of California to schedule your interview. Please note that we interview on Wednesdays and Thursdays only. Also understand that you may only reschedule your interview date in the event of an emergency. Please confirm your availability before you schedule your interview.
Then, you can pick a date you like for the interview. When you call them and tell them the date you picked, they will let you know if that date is available for you to pick. If not, you can pick another date.
Finally, the interview, good luck!😉

Wow - thank you for your quick reply! It was very informative! Did you get invited for an interview shortly after submitting the sup?
You are welcome! Yes, I got an interview invite the same day I submitted my supplemental app. They replied back really quick and their interview session is very informative as well. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes on that day 🙂
Touro University CA, College of Pharmacy will be having its Open House on Friday, February 21st. Please RSVP at: http://admissions.tu.edu/cop/COPopenhs.html

Oh wow! When did you submit your sup?
I submitted my application on 11/19, and I was interviewed on 1/29 🙂
I am just so hating myself for submitting so late. Timing really is everything. I submitted like last week - what do you think my chances of getting an interview are? I really hope there's still dates available!!
Hi,
Don't worry too much about submitting so late. I submitted my primary application on 10/16/2013, my secondary to Touro on 12/30/2013, was invited to interview on 01/14/2014, interviewed 01/21/2014 and was accepted 01/31/2014. I thought it was really hopeless submitting that late, but I'm glad I did. Because I took the chance, I will be matriculating this fall! 🙂
Hi, according to their website, "Interviews are conducted in panel format and are typically held from late September through April." They interview students on any Wednesdays and Thursdays, so you should be fine.
"Don't worry too much and just focus on your school work and get good grades." My friends told me this when I was overstressed about something that I have no control over. If you meet their requirements, you will get an interview invitation soon. Good luck!

You are so nice. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement! We all need them time to time. =) Have you decided on where you're going yet?
Congrats!!! That's so wonderful! I literally have dreams of getting the interview invite every night! I hope it'll come true!
Anyone here receive an interview invite recently? I've been checking my email like every other hour in hopes of getting one......
Same submits my supp November but I guess they lost it because they sent me an email dec saying I didn't submit my supp yet. Then I re submit my supp but nothing still...
The first time I submitted my supplimental app, I think I submitted to the email address stated on their website, I did not get a comfirmation email back, so I sent another one to Ms. Jacqueline, I got a confirmation email saying my file is completed and I got the invite the same day. Therefore, make sure you guys get confirmation back about your submission of supplymental application.
Whats everyones stats?
i got an interview this thursday and im soooo nervous. This is the only interview i have gotten so far and it looks like i got like a 1 in 5 chance from their stats of acceptance. I think im going to have a hard time in the group interview. I feel like you have to handle trying to stand out yet being polite and approachable instead of seeming boasty and cocky.
