Interviewed on the 15th of feb and got waitlisted
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.Does anyone know if Touro's waitlist moves a lot ?

Did anyone who wrote an LOI get an email back or a response?
You got a confirmation saying you were admitted or just a confirmation saying they received your LOI & is in review ?i did in Feb and got confirmation

I am wondering the same questionIt seems like lots of people are getting waitlisted
anybody know the class size as of now & the chances of getting off waitlist?
Agree. Do people who got accepted know about this class size? I bet they don’t .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.
Is anyone considering this as an option? feel like we would be the experiment but idkDid you guys also get the email for New Mexico? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

Woah the lack of publicity and transparency about this is a little concerning. What exactly did the email say?Did you guys also get the email for New Mexico?

I disagree with you. Basically, there are two cases and neither case has a real negative impact on incoming students.That’s exactly what I thought! Imagine all the people who chose Touro because of their ideal instructor to student ratio and now they have to deal with this. Basically they said they will accept 100 more students and at the end of the D2 year, the additional 100 students will transition to Albuquerque, New Mexico.
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?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.
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 TouroYou make some very good points. But how many people could possibly be waitlisted at only Touro?

I personally don't see much difference in tuition between Touro and NYU. Without considering food, Touro is about $130k/yr and NYU is about $150k/yr. If I have to pick between the two, I would say it depends. It seems to me that Touro produces good general dentists. And by going to NYU, students would have a much better chance to specialize. If you know for sure you want to be a general dentist, then pick touro. Otherwise, pick NYU.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.

I can think of two ways to analyze and both ways make me guess there are about 300 students who are currently on the waitlist.You make some very good points.

NoAre you guys accepting?
What are your GPA and DAT if you don't mind me asking?
20 aa and 3.5. Holding an acceptance at VCUWhat are your GPA and DAT if you don't mind me asking?
They answered this question at the Zoom meeting and said all students would pay the exact same tuition.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...?
Does anyone know when the classes start?
Have any international students gotten acceptance?
I am. I sent in the form right after the meeting. still havn't gotten anything. Do you mind sharing your stats?i did. are you an international?

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.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

Nothing really. All the interviews I attended, including Touro, were semi-okay professional. However, none of the faculty members were prepared. There was one school that will always be my favorite, where no dentist interviewed me at all. Instead, current dental students and two dental hygienists who were faculty members of the hygiene program conducted the interview. I go to the same church with one of the full professors at that dental school, he doesn't care about admissions and doesn't bother to interview any future dental students. He says it is a waste of his time to interview students, he would teach whoever gets accepted. I did get accepted by this dental school. But in the end, I chose a different dental school (my second choice) because I want to experience a different lifestyle. And tuition-wise, it would cost me $300k more for four years. But I don't care, I don't care about money. I still own over 200 bitcoins. Yep, this guy does dentistry not for the moneyAny idea how this will affect upcoming years?
