Touro-CA MSMHS 2015-2016

[ryanc6060]

I am not sure, from this end its mostly geared to the com program. I would send an email to the program director for his take on it, not naisha.

But if touro nv is more associated as stated above maybe you should look into that one.

I know this program is aimed at those wanting to pursue medical school, but what if you are fresh out of undergrad with goals to attend PA school instead? Would that be frowned upon when having applied for this program? Opinions? I haven't taken the GRE (yet) or MCAT either.

I suggest you look at another program. TUNV provides MS program for Pre-PAs. If you are applying to PA school, you want to make sure that you do not make it seem like being a PA was a backup plan. Check out programs catered towards PA school and look for more info at http://www.physicianassistantforum.com/

Good luck today everyone! I hope they let us know early on in the day... I'm anxious already!

 

[afada12]

[ClassicJandT]

Hmm weren't we supposed to hear something today? Nothing to report from me.

Same maybe stuff was sent out today....but that doesn't make an explanation for the lack of e mail....

 

[Cytokinesis]

They were a business day late for our replies from last year. Don't be surprised if you get it tomorrow

Was placed on the "low alternative wait list" and my chances are categorized as possible but "unlikely" lol

 

[afada12]

@ Manders : You got an email I assume? Nothing here yet.

@ Manders : You got an email I assume? Nothing here yet.

Yup an e mail. Hopefully yours is on the way with better news

 

[radhopeful2021]

low alternative waitlist as well.

 

[mandersz]

low alternative waitlist as well.

I wonder if there's two other levels or just high and low. What was the number in your e mail subject ?

3 what about yours?

 

[StripedTie]

Thought it was funny that the letter started with "I am pleased to advise you..." but then later mentioned that "your chances [are] unlikely"

There will be others for us!

 

[mandersz]

Same. What the heck guess that doesn't tell us anything lol

OMG yes!!!! I honestly wasn't expecting to get in against the odds so when I saw "pleased" I was like wait a minute lol they need to rephrase that for site in the future haha

 

[ryanc6060]

I was waitlisted last year and moved off.

 

[zero0]

So what does the number in the subject line imply? Also, I assume low alternate waitlist is worse than high alternate waitlist?

 

[afada12]

Just speculation: (1) might mean acceptance , (2) = high wait list, (3) = low wait list?
I have no idea though obviously.

 

[jbmd15]

Hey everyone, I just got the email informing me of my acceptance. Hope to hear form everyone else, and good luck to those waiting.

 

[ryanc6060]

If you got an acceptance contact me or cytokinesis for the facebook add.

 

[Mrs.dr.B]

AHHH!! No email yet. I even checked spam. How long does it take for them to send notifications to everyone?

 

[ryanc6060]

Seems they are going out in batches today

 

[afada12]

Agreed. These decisions are being sent out so slow...

 

[Mrs.dr.B]

The suspense is killing me!! I've been checking my email every five minutes since yesterday!

 

[afada12]

I got waitlist (2).

 

[Mrs.dr.B]

Bummer waitlisted! I guess it was to be expected since I didn't learn about the program until 2 weeks before application deadline. I had a (2) in my subject line, not sure if that is high or low on waitlist?

 

[syk111]

waitlist (2) as well =/
i wonder how many "high priority" waitlists they hand out?

 

[joujou116]

ah damn, waitlist (2)

 

[afada12]

From the looks of it they gave a lot of us waitlist (2)'s.. :/

 

[joujou116]

waitlist (2) as well =/
i wonder how many "high priority" waitlists they hand out?

is (2) considered "high priority" waitlist?

 

[Mrs.dr.B]

for those accepted, how much time are you given to submit your decision? also, if you don't mind sharing your stats.

Mine, sGPA:3.6 cGPA:3.6 MCAT: 27

 

[CaliMedicine22]

Wait listed as well

 

[ClassicJandT]

(1) accepted! They are giving us 2 weeks to submit our decisions.

 

[joujou116]

I'm going to do what they did last year and compile a list - of course, this doesn't include people not on SDN/who don't share, etc

(1) Accepted (congrats guise!)

[afada12]

Did everyone that got the waitlist (2) e-mail also see, "I am still very hopeful that you are going to get a seat" within the text of his/her e-mail?

 

[mandersz]

I was waitlisted last year and moved off.

But with a 2?

 

[mandersz]

I wondered if people are just wait listed or they reject others...

 

[Mrs.dr.B]

That was in my email

 

[Mrs.dr.B]

I was browsing old threads and read a few people were rejected. I wonder if wait listed, what the odds of getting a seat since usually they accept 2x the amount of seats

 

[Palmwulala12345]

This whole waitlist uncertainty really makes it harder to make summer plans and find housing for next year I am on the (2) waitlist.

 

[ryanc6060]

I was waitlisted last year and got a call right around the Germany vs US in the world cup last summer.

 

[Mrs.dr.B]

agreed @Palmwulala12345

 

[Cytokinesis]

Half of this year's class came from the waitlist. They can call you up until a week or two before orientation. Orientation this year is July 31

Yea the wording is def. different between the 2 and 3. 3 said "unlikely" at least it didn't give false hope...

That seems to be the case, yeah.

Got the 3 email, oh well. I've been struggling with the decision to actually attend if I got in anyway. Glad they made the decision for me. Props to the admissions committee for realizing the guy who lived in NC for the past 15 years wouldn't be too eager to move 3000 miles away to tack an extra 60k onto their medical school debt.
