Has there been any II since the new year?
Has there been any II since the new year?
Hi guys, I interviewed at Harlem in early December and was recently waitlisted. I was wondering if many people have been accepted or know how the waitlist works/is ranked at this school? It seems like the majority of people accepted in this forum were accepted at Middletown. Thanks for any input!
Accepted to Middletown. Will be attending. Excited to meet you guys!
Any fb groups going?
Yeah, I want to start looking for housing buddies.
ACCEPTED TO TOURO HARLEM TODAY!
Complete 11/9, Interviewed 12/7, LizzyM 64
Can't wait to join and meet all those who were accepted! For those of you waiting still- wishing for the best for you too!
Does anyone have insight on the Summer Anatomy course? Is it worth taking?
Taking *A* medical school anatomy course is something I would STRONGLY recommend. Taking it at Touro is as good as any, and may be more helpful than others because it's the same material.
As an OMS1, there's a real difference between the performance of the students who have and have not taken anatomy before. Anatomy is not hard but it is a lot of work, and it can be very "foreign" to new students.
The only deadline we have is for the second deposit in May, correct?

Took about a week to receive confirmation.Hi All. For those accepted to Touro-Middletown did you receive an email after you paid your deposit and submitted the form back to admissions? I put down my deposit yesterday but didn't receive any confirmation email, but luckily I screenshotted it.
awesome! thank you!Took about a week to receive confirmation.
II for Middletown todayHas there been any II since the new year?
Is anyone here familiar with the one year masters program through Touro that can get students a spot in the DO school the following year?

Hi All,
I have an interview coming up at the end of the month at Middletown. I've been going through the forum and it seems that most people have had a conversational interview and the questions were focused on their application. Does that hold true for others that have had an interview at Middletown as well? Has anyone been asked ethical/scenario type questions also? Just trying to get a good grasp about what else I should be preparing for. Thanks!
It's as traditional as it gets. Know your app, practice a lot, and have good convincing answers for the important questions, why medicine, why DO, why Touro.
I'm procrastinating studying for our anatomy exam tomorrow. You'll do fine at the interview. Know your application, and if there are any red flags in your history be prepared to explain. I don't think I've heard of them asking any weird ethical questions, but if they ask about cheating, obviously tell them that you'd turn in a classmate who you know to be cheating or something like that.
Oh, the horrorMake sure to add that you'd never, EVER click in for a classmate who wanted to sleep through ethics.
So when is the best time to do housing? Do current students typically pass it off to incoming students?
Sorry.. That was for Touro-CA.I got an email saying the interview process is anticipated to end in May. This means we still have hope!
How long does it take for the Harlem campus to get back with a decision post-interview?

It took Touro Harlem almost the full 2 months to get back to me with a decision (yay, accepted!). I had pretty much given up on an acceptance at that point because it took so long. But, surprise!

Hi guys, I applied here, specifically choosing the Harlem campus only for my preference, since I was excited by the idea of living in NYC. But I still haven't heard back, and I'm starting to wish I'd chosen prefer both. Is there a way to change this preference?
2 months?!? Jeez. It hasn't even been a week since my interview and I'm dyingggg. Did you contact them anytime within that time frame to get a status update, or give a letter of intent?
Do they admit students based on how they interviewed in their group for the day or out of all the students they interview? How many people get in out of the thirty people getting interviewed?
That was so helpful!
Another thing how are the living situations/safety for both campuses (harlem and middletown). Which area is better for life as a med student? I'm wondering if either does clinical research...
Hey all, I'm currently a female living in Harlem. I have for about a year now. Like any city, you have to be alert and always be on your toes. There's a lot of hustle and bustle! But if anyone were to ask me if I felt unsafe, I would instantly respond "no". It's definitely a growing area with new restaurants and bars popping up each month. I live 8 blocks from the school and I can honestly say that if I had the opportunity to stay, I would in a heart beat. A lot of character in the area which makes it a great place to live!Harlem is Harlem. It's a lot safer than it was 10 years ago, but it's still Harlem. If you keep your wits about you, you'll be fine. I've never felt unsafe, but then again I am also a male. Within the building, security staff keep it very safe. Never heard of anything being stolen or anything within the building.
I can't speak for Middletown since I don't go there, but I'd assume it's a bit safer since it's in the suburbs.
In terms of which is better, there isn't really a comparison since they're so different. Harlem is super busy/NYC life, Middletown is suburbs/much quieter. Some people like cities, some people don't. Harlem's campus is secure and quiet enough that it won't distract from your studies.
There isn't too much clinical research at Harlem, but there's a ton of benchwork/lab research if you're interested. The research faculty are very friendly and eager to get students involved.
