I have been completed since early October... What about you?
I was completed beginning of this month. I knew that I was a little late in the game, but now I'm starting to think that I have no chance...considering my stats aren't stellar.

I've been complete since September with a 3.2, 3.77, 26 and I've heard nothing.
Good luck!
does anyone have any insight on how the waitlist works here? how they rank it? when they start doing looking offering waitlist acceptances? etc.
Take a look at last year's thread. I believe I remember seeing that they re-evaluate it every day and send out wait list acceptance offers every day by phone during the latter part of the cycle.
I just got the Supplemental application, is it still worth it to submit it? I have a 3.53 GPA, 3.3sGPA, and 27R.
It is way late to submit. You will be basically be applying for a waitlist spot. I would say go for it, but it is a $200 fee.. did you already apply to schools this cycle or did you just get all your stuff togethor and thought you would give touro a shot but were planning on applying next cycle?
Hey guys! I'm a Second Year student at TouroCOM who has worked with Mr. Ruiz before. He is tough and a stickler for details and process, but very fair. Because of Hurricane Sandy, and the fact that Mr. Ruiz just took over, there has probably been a delay in the admissions process this year.i believe that they are a little behind when the flooding was going on, so it may not be too late

Mr. Ruiz actually sent me and a couple of other students the instructions to the e-mail process he wrote you about in order to get a student perspective.
And, in terms of your choice to send a supplemental application, if you are really interested in TouroCOM, it might be a good idea to send one in. $200 is a lot of money, but if you haven't gotten interviews or acceptances to other schools yet, it might be worth it. That choice though, is ultimately up to you.
Good luck to all!
Congrats!!! It's exciting when you find out that all you have worked for is going to be realized!
Did you interview in the morning or afternoon session? I interviewed on the 28th also. I haven't heard anything from them though. Am hoping for the best, but I feel like I bombed the interview. Fingers crossed!
As of 1/28, they had filled 70 seats out of 135. I am not sure how far behind they are in interviewing, but I know of another 2 dates of interview (the upcoming two Mondays), and each date has 2 sessions. Don't know how many more dates after that there are.Anyone know how far behind this school is in interviewing?....how many accepted? How many interview days.... Anything?

Yeah same here, this is VERY frustrating! I received an e-mail in late September saying my file was complete, THEN I received the same e-mail (without realizing it) in mid November. When we got the e-mail about the new admissions coordinator, I sent an e-mail inquiring about my application status...still waiting.
I interviewed in the afternoon. Received acceptance today! So excited!
It really is a relief to get that acceptance letter!
Again, congrats!!! Now you can relax until classes start.
Just out of curiosity, for all TouroCOM students and prospective students, are you concerned at all about the rapid expansion of the school? Last month, Touro announced plans to matriculate an additional 135 students per year in Middletown, NY. By supply and demand principles, TouroCOM would have to reduce admission standards to accommodate the rapid class expansion. Do you think this will dilute the value of a degree from Touro? Maybe not on a national scale but it would at least devalue the degree in New York State as there would be a huge surge of TouroCOM graduates.
The anticipated rotation spots for the Middletown campus are small community hospitals that see a very limited amount of patients; most advanced trauma cases are flown to other hospitals in the area. Do you think Touro is expanding too rapidly without taking into account the quality of education and the effects on degree holders?
I also emailed the school regarding the status of my application but I still haven't heard anything from them...has anyone gotten a response? Thanks!
I am excited that TouroCOM is opening up a campus in Orange County. As DocEspana stated, there aren't many schools between NYC and Albany (other than NYMC), so the fact that TouroCOM is doing so, with a focus on rural medicine, is a great opportunity for the area.Just out of curiosity, for all TouroCOM students and prospective students, are you concerned at all about the rapid expansion of the school?

With regards to having to reduce admission standards, in comparison to other schools (i.e. NYCOM, LECOM, PCOM, NOVA), Touro is on the low end of first-year enrollment (many times less than half of the others). Those schools don't have lax admissions standards, even though they have high first year enrollment numbers. I don't foresee TouroCOM doing any different.
It's great that more highly qualified individuals will have the opportunity to become doctors.
ii received 11/28!!!!!!
interview date 1/28.
anyone else interviewing this day?
stats: cGPA 3.45, sGPA 3.18, MCAT 26
+1I have very similar stats to you and have not heard anything from Touro. I submitted all my materials late October. Are you a NY resident? I'm wondering why I still haven't heard anything???

The stats aren't everything. I have been seeing DO applicants with a 23-25 MCAT getting accepted. Are you EC's weak? Maybe your personal statement wasn't great? They view applicants as they treat patients..holistically.
