I can't find it right now but I saw a reply somewhere that it typically does since many acceptances tend to get turned down once they have acceptances in-state or elsewhere due to Touro's tuition being pretty high. Not entirely sure if that's true but I suppose it makes sense and gives some hope.

this is true, touro actually made offers to around 80% of their interviews (one of the highest) according to ADEA but this cycle might be different bc the increase in applicants this year. But should see good amount of movement bc Touro is new , expensive etc

Did you guys also get the email for New Mexico? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Very surprising because when I went to interview, some of the faculty were trash talking about NYU due to their class size but now with the new 100 more students they will almost be the same for D1-D2. (Until D3-D4 transfers to New Mexico). I am pretty sure it would also cause division within the classroom like New Mexico vs NY people. It’s just really silly.

Agree. Do people who got accepted know about this class size? I bet they don’t .

Woah the lack of publicity and transparency about this is a little concerning. What exactly did the email say?

I disagree with you. Basically, there are two cases and neither case has a real negative impact on incoming students.

Case 1: you get accepted into the NY campus before Mar and you stay in NY. yes you would have an additional 100 classmates, but your D1 is nothing but textbook knowledge, by having a larger class doesn't affect your academics. Your D2 would only be affected if Touro doesn't have a good sim lab rotation. most likely, you would get enough sim lab hours and experiences. your D3/D4 would not be affected by the change.

Case 2: you choose to go to the New Mexico site. It is clear to me that if the expansion was not approved, all those waitlisted people would simply get a rejection. For those who do not have any other options, it is an opportunity for you to get into A dental school this cycle. You are choosing between ZERO acceptance and being accepted by One school. I'm waitlisted by Touro and I have other offers. So it is an easy choice for me: go to another school. But it doesn't mean New Mexico is a bad option. NM doesn't have any dental school, maybe those who go to NM would have phenomenal D3/D4 experiences.

You make some very good points. But how many people could possibly be waitlisted at only Touro? I wonder if they are going to struggle to fill 100 seats. Any thoughts on this?

Well Touro gets a good amount of applicants a year, ~2300-2500, and if you’re in NY chances are you’ve applied to NYU. So take your pick, NYU or chance with Touro and less debt. If I had all else to lose I’d probably take Touro
 
I have an acceptance elsewhere but got accepted for the NM campus. I was interested in seeing how the cost lined up with my other school but... I don't see any tuition sheet? Is there seriously no tuition difference with moving to NM...?

They answered this question at the Zoom meeting and said all students would pay the exact same tuition.

I thought sending form was guarunteed acceptance. i have pretty good stats but I dont think that matters because I believe NM cohort is full yet and on reddit forum I saw someone's friend who applied july getting acceptance without interview

Tbh, a friend of mine just sent in the form after they extended it until April 16. He just got accepted (citizen). It just makes me feel stress as it is kinda late for the cycle already.
