Just an FYI- I am a first year and supposed to be doing tours for your interview days (so hopefully I will see some of you!). Last I heard, no interviews have been scheduled yet but the first dates should be in October. I interviewed early December last year and got in.

I knew this after checking Jewish holidays.

How do you like the school? Any regrets?

Thats great to hear ! Thanks for the post!!! Do most interview invites come through email ?
 
I like the school. You'll have to decide if NYC and Harlem are the right fit for you when you come interview.
 
Do you guys know if secondary=interview still applies this cycle?

Was this true last cycle? Isn't their secondary open to everyone?

the $200 fee prevents a lot of applicants like me from submitting the secondary. And yes, that has been true in past cycles.
 
did everyone write a new personal statement for their supplemental?
Also Are you suppose to print out a hardcopy of the personal statement and then fax it in along with the supplemental?

You print everything out and mail via USPS with a check, money order, or cashier's check to cover the fee.
 
I think you're suppose to print out a hard copy and attach it with the rest of the application. And yes, if I decide to apply to Touro I will probably end up writing a new personal statement. The $200 fee is stopping me, but I'm a NY resident so I'm conflicted. One hand this school is low if not last on my list, on the other because I'm an in-state student I could likely get an interview. I don't know yet.

No way to send everything via fax? and pay online with credit card?

never mind.., just read the front page
 
Has anyone found out when they might start sending out interview invites?
Thanks!
 
So I received a secondary today...
My stats are: SGPA 3.7 CGPA 3.65 MCAT 24P
Any change at actually being invited for the interview?

There's always a chance. You just have to wait and see. You have a solid GPA. MCAT on the lower end. Make a "what are my chances" thread and put all your stats down for better feedback.
 
For those of us that already live in NYC (and those of us that want to), here's a shocking/funny vid that really highlights NYC apartment insanity:

I was born and raised in the exact opposite environment: Los Angeles. It's going to take some getting used to; though I imagine it's not quite as cramped in areas outside Manhattan...or am I way off, here? Either way, thanks for sharing.

Hey Deutsch, where are you from in LA? (and how much square feet is/was your home in LA, seriously 😀.. I used to live in a 2+2 apt for $1850/month, so I wondered..)
 
Received my secondary from TouroCOM-NY. I know there was some talk that most people that received secondaries last year also received interviews because they pre-screen pretty intensively? I liked this school because I am Jewish and it has some good reviews. However, I REALLY dont want to live in new york 🙁

I got the complete e-mail September 13th. Try and relax, I bet your ii is coming real soon 🙂
 
I really hope so! What days is everyone interviewing? Congrats to you all!
 
Congrats to everyone with interview invites!! Hope to join you all soon. Maybe they'll send out more tomorrow..
 
Hi, wanted to contribute- I got an II this morning (32, 3.2C, 3.9S) complete 9/20. The dates you can choose from are 10/15, 10/22, 10/29 morning and afternoon sessions. Good luck to all!
 
ii today via email! So excited that they got back to me within 2 weeks. Submitted 9/12 via priority mail. Confirmed 9/14

3.5C, 3.3S, 30S

Anyone have suggestions for accommodations in the area?

I am a little confused about the sessions, should we pick a session or a day?
there are 5 hours in the morning session and 4 in the afternoon.......
 
*sigh* I haven't heard anything. I submitted mine via priority, too, on 9/14 and haven't received a notification that they've received anything, thought it shows as received via USPS. Think I should send an email/call?

Triple major, c3.78, s3.76, 29Q, plus tons of ECs, disadvantaged focus, & research, including 1st author pubs (details on MDApps). Peas show me love, TCOM-NY!
 
Looking at the last year's thread, this school did not send another set of interview invites until a month after the first set were out.
Any input on this?

After looking through last year's thread, it looks like they sent out invites sept 13, 14, 15, and 22, then started again oct 18. But then again those are only the ones reported on Sdn..
 
Really, I just saw the invites in September, then again in October for November dates. I am praying that I get an invite....but it looks like they are giving invites to people with high MCAT first....

I'd send an email. I did. Never know!
 
Has anyone gotten an interview confirmation after emailing Mr. Issa Sow yet? Or do you guys know when we can anticipate getting that? I want to make travel arrangements before prices go up!

No confirmation email yet. I spoke with Mr. Issa on the phone and he said the school will be off for the next few days (I believe due to Jewish holidays). He emphasized not to make any travel/accommodation arrangements until we receive confirmation. The dates are assigned first-come, first-served by email. Looks like we're just going to have to wait until they respond before getting tickets and hotels
