Does anyone know much about how the waitlist at Middletown works? I was waitlisted post-interview a few weeks ago, and was wondering if anyone could shine some light on if Touro is pretty active with waitlist movement or not until April/May/June?

Maybe email admission stating your continued interest in TouroNY.

Could someone explain the grading system at Middletown?

Edit: grammar

If we don't pay the deposit by the due date then is it assumed that we aren't accepting their offer? Or do we have to email them to withdraw the acceptance?

I got rejected here last year because I really bombed the interview. Would it be wise to choose middletown again? My stats fit right in line with the average. Should I instead focus on harlem this year? Would middletown hold last years inteview against me?

That's really awesome. Would you mind sharing how your interview experience was like and any tips you'd like to give out. Also what kind of questions did they ask? My interview is in January and it would help a lot. Thanks!

To add to other posts, the interview is very laid back. You will be interviewed by two faculty (Neither of mine were doctors). It appeared as though they had a list of pre-written questions but it felt very conversational, each of your answers seemed to lead into the next question. They go back and forth between positive and negative aspects of your application. The questions were exactly what you would expect for a med-school interview.

The day was long extending from 8am to after 4pm. Everyone was friendly and it seemed as though the dean knew every student by first name. I was very impressed.

Stats:
Submitted beginning of Sept., Secondary in by late Sept., interview invite just a month later in Nov., Interviewed 11/23, accepted 12/2.

MCAT 501, GPA 3.79, OOS

That's very helpful, thank you so much for that. How long did the interview itself last? Honestly, this is my first interview and I've been doing mock interviews to prepare for it. If you don't mind me asking, will you be attending Middletown then? If so, is there anything note worthy I should know about the school itself? Once again, appreciate it.

The interview itself was only a half hour.

I will be attending.

It is a brand new campus and therefore not much data has been published about scores and statistics. There are many posts in the thread that talk about the area and the pros and cons of the school so check them out!
 
II!! Any idea on their acceptance rate post-interview? Also any hints about the interview and its format? Is it with 2 professors or only with one?
 
Wish I would hear something from this school.
Submitted Oct 23 I believe.
Would sending a Letter of intent or calling the school help?
 
II invite today, was complete 10/15 I think. cGPA 3.70, sGPA 3.60, MCAT 512 (32ish on the old one).

Declined and withdrew so hopefully this II goes to one of you folks! Sort of a shame to decline this one.. My wife grew up there and we are both dying to get back to the East Coast

Do you mind sharing your stats/experience?
 
Had an interview here January 11th and LOVED everything about the school. The staff and faculty were super nice and friendly. To all those having interviews, the questions you are asked are what you generally would expect in a medical school interview, just know your application really well.

I hope none of you guys interview with Dr. Lobo (?). He turned me off towards the school completely. Way too sarcastic during the interview that it came off as rude. Rest of the staff were nice. But if I don't attend here, it will be primarily because of him. I was very close to writing a letter to the administration to describe how unprofessional he was.
 
Did anyone feel as though their interview was very short? As in, only a few (3-5) questions asked?

Interview day is long but it was actually really fun. I met some amazing people who I'd love to have as classmates.

Know the flipped classroom model and communicate your learning style. They questioned me quite a bit about my interest and knowledge of rural medicine and Healthcare disparities. They also gave me ethical questions based on experiences on my application.

In case anyone was wondering, as of last week, they are "not even close" to filling their class yet. (Hopefully that's good news for some of you if you're still waiting!) I think the director of admissions said they received ~9000 (?) applications, are planning to interview ~500, and so far have only given ~200 interviews. Hope this helps!
