Thank you =), looking forward to meeting you in July!Sorry, try this one https://www.facebook.com/groups/383881318447567/
Not sure if anyone's called already, but I submitted my second deposit more than a week ago under "acceptance deposit" on Quikpay and called the office, and they confirmed they had received it. So y'all should be fine.
did anyone use the Quik pay system for the second deposit? which options did you choose acceptance deposit or tuition deposit fall 2015?
hey question for any international students at Touro Harlem- does Touro have any requirement for the tuition to be put into a escrow account?
Question, if I am unsure of whether I'm going to dorm or find an apartment, and I know for dorming I have to send in the money for Heart and Soul first, would it be possible to pay the $1000 minimum meal plan for now but then upgrade to a different plan later? If I pay for both dorming and food and end up living off campus, would I get any of my money back?
A question im planning on asking in the FB group as well (Middletown) but i want to cover all my bases. Does anyone know how to pay the meal plan deposit? I cant find a place to pay on the portal and was wondering if something would appear after i email the form about which type of plan id like? Thanks for the help in advance!
Has anyone on the waitlist called Middletown to see where they are on the waitlist? Are they responsive to this question?
Not yet. I called last week, someone said possibly this tuesday bc the committee didn't sit down at all lastweek. Whelp already filling out AACOMAS for next cycle. Plan on applying sooner than December this next cycle. Middletown def left an impression on meAnyone who interviewed on May 4th? Hear anything back?

Assessment:
- Clearly my GPA is low and I have comparably little experience with the medically underserved, but I think the high MCAT scores, unusual work history (Marine Corps, licensed attorney), and prestige factor (I mention Ivy League not to toot my horn, but to explain a mitigating factor) of my undergraduate/graduate education helped.

I' m seriously going crazy waiting..... I just want all of us to have an acceptance letter already!All we could do is wait or call admissions to see if they can give us any info. It is getting rather difficult to wait, considering the first day of classes would be the first week in August. At Harlem last cycle everyone got off the waitlist, so I just hope that it's the same. The openings post May 15 should begin to lead to some acceptances soon though. I also hope the waiting doesn't go until mid-late June![]()
Congrats!! Middletown or Harlem?Just got accepted off the waitlist!!
I wonder if they release waitlist acceptances in huge spurts or more of a slower, stretched-out, individual type basis
Congrats on the acceptance..would you mind sharing your stats and interview date?Just got accepted off the waitlist!!
The office said that there will be "significant" movement in the upcoming weeks. Committee sits down once a week to pick candidates to fill open seats... Not entirely sure what significant means or if the movement will be fast or slow but that is the information I was able to gather
I spoke to Harlem but I think she said that you can be called off either list if you picked both campusesIs this for Middletown or Harlem? Thanks
Me!!!Hi just wonder if there is anyone here have MCAT of 26 and got into this school?
I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been more waitlist movement yet. Obviously sdn represents only a small part of the applicants, but still, I spoke with admissions some weeks ago and they said that about 85-90% of the waitlist gets in, but it's already June and it's been pretty quiet. Thoughts?
Yea definitely frustrating. I've been watching this thread periodically to see if movement has started, but it just hasn't. Not sure if there are people getting in and just not posting or what. I'm starting to lose a little hope, but I do think there is reason to stay somewhat hopeful. I also wish they would send updates periodically, just for some sanity.
Did you speak with admissions from Middletown or Harlem?
Me!!!
Just got my finaid summary.
Unsubsidized Loan $~40k
Plus Loan $~30k
The school does not participate in Perkin's Loan I assume?
Do you guys generally take full loan amount offered for the first year? I mean the tuition is already at ~$50k so taking out some of Plus Loan is a given even when I'm reluctant to do so due to its high interest rate.
Why can't I just take more loan out from Unsubsidized Loan? I know there are limits but I thought it'd be more than $40k given the cost of medical education nowadays.
