Many of you have inquired about rank changes. As you know, rank change will occur when seats open at the medical school. I am happy to report that 5 seats have opened and your rank order has increased by 5. You will receive an official email with your specific rank number next Tuesday.
I know this process can produce anxiety and many of you are trying to plan your future and determine what options will be best. Although the final decision is yours, let me try to be of help.
1. If your rank number is very high (over 50), and knowing that we have 1 more month to go before school opens, there is not a likelihood you will receive a seat in the class of 2015.
2. If your rank number is 30 to 50, there is a possibility you may have an opportunity to start your medical education this year - a reserved possibility.
3. If your rank number is 1 to 30. There is a good possibility of starting your medical education this year. Be mindful, again, the class of 2015 is currently full and drops must take place to open seats.
Having given you the above, perhaps the following option may appeal to you:
1. You may wish to continue with your science studies over the next academic year and enter the Masters of Science Program in Interdisciplinary Studies at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine. This program will provide significant academic and clinical skills which will aid you in negotiating the curricula of the first year of medical school.
If this option is appealing, please contact
