I actually had to drag it out of her a little bit. this is what the conversation went like:
Me: "Hi, I am calling to know my status "
Her:"What your last name"
(I spell it out for her)
Her: "Oh, did you call few days earlier"
Me:"No, I called last week"
Her: "I feel like I have looked up your file before"(she has done this but I didn't mention it to her)
Her: "You should expect an email next week"
Me:"Oh, an email?!"
Her:"Yes, we had Jewish holidays so we are bit behind"
Me: "Are you sure I will be getting an email" ( At this point I was trying my best to not make it obvious that I wanted to know if its an ii)
Her: "Yes, I am sure"
Me:"oh, okkkkkkkkkkk"
((awkward silence))
"its an interview invite"
"OMG, thanks! you just made my Friday"

hahahaha I might just try that with CCOM next week... and then maybe Western for my decision... This tactic is flawless!
I actually had a similar conversation at NOVA to find out that I should expect a ii email . But unlike the lady at Touro, the NOVA lady was very, very hesitant so I wasn't sure if I should believe her. So, I called back and the new lady won't tell me anything. She even went as far as to say/lie that there was no way to check if I would be getting an ii. Little did she know that I had called earlier and the person I had spoken to had already told me about the ii. The next day, I had a ii email from NOVA.

I am so sorry to hear that. But you already have 1 acceptance right? I would definitely lose it if that happened! I hope they didn't hold it against you.
yikes! I would freak the hell out if this happened to me. For a recent interview, I forgot to pack my make up bag. I had a mini panic attack that morning looking through my stuff to try to find it. Forgetting shoes is much, much worse.

I would straight up buy new shoes.
the only time it really mattered is during the interview.
i explained it to them and they said something along "whatever. we don't care about the small stuff"
i still felt embarrassed the whole day. anytime somebody laughed, my mind races to "ARE THEY LAUGHING AT ME?" D:<
and no i've no acceptances yet. i've only heard back from the LECOM's and they both waitlisted me.

If it makes you feel better, I have a friend who remembered his shoes, but forgot his suit (still don't know how this happened). He arrived at the hotel the night before his interview day, realized what he was missing, and rushed over to the first suit store he saw. They were about to close right as he walked in, so he grabbed the first thing he saw without putting too much thought into it. He ended up picking a light grey suit paired with a bright purple, shimmery dress shirt and wore that to the interview with his black shoes.
He was accepted

You gotta be quick to give them back the call to learn what slots are availble. Let me tell you, if they're interviewing the time you call them, it'd hard to get a hold of them. Just act fast...

You're one of them! Haha. Yeah but seriously, why guys? Just curious.
Since I did remember seeing rcheech7's post about dropping his/her's Oct 15 date, I had asked the admissions lady (Jennifer ?) if I could have 15th instead of 22nd but unfortunately she told me that she hadn't received any cancellations for the 15th. I even said that I know someone who dropped Oct 15 (didn't mention it was from SDN..lol) yet she still gave me the same answer. Maybe the cancellations are not automatic and take a while to get updated in their system.

I think it has a lot to do with saving traveling $$, which is a smart thing to do if you already have an acceptance at a different school thats higher on your list.

I would have gone to this interview but I already got accepted at ACOM and I like it a lot. And it would cost me around 1k to travel over there so I really need to save my money, lol. not that I didnt like this school, I was interested in it.
I have got a hypothetical question for you. If ACOM's tuition was on the high end but they still offered everything else that you have fallen in love with, would you still have cancelled all your other interviews?

yes, because even though cost is important to me, it's also important to stay near the people I care about if possible. So for me, my number one thing is location but my number two thing is def cost.

By the way whats ACOM? I wll also be driving from socal so I think I am still going to go to check it out and not drop my ii. I think being able to rotate in vegas for the two years will be kinda rad

I'm fairly certain every hotel in the area has slot machines. I mean, even the grocery stores have slot machines. But if you're looking to make money, Black Jack has the best house odds, slots the worst.

hahaha!! I totally went back to check if I or dude had a typo in our posts.
Hey, so I haven't received a secondary yet after informing them that they needed reopen my file because of a higher MCAT a few weeks ago. Anyone else land in this boat of requesting them re-open your file? I'd really like a shot here. And no essay prompts are a huge plus, lol.

My AACOMAS was released on 9/13 and I still haven't received a secondary.
Has anyone else had this experience? I've emailed them twice already.

Casinos have slot machines. A lot of hotels are attached to casinos but if you're staying at a Holiday Inn or something of that sorts you probably will not see a slot machine.
