Accepted!

Just got an acceptance email! Interviewed on 11/19 and was not expecting it so soon, since they told us to expect the email right before the Christmas holiday.
 
I will be going on the 12th of December as well! Wish you all the best of luck!!
 
I just got accepted too! When do we have to send in the $2,000 deposit?
 
finally got the secondary, but at $100 bucks I will just wait a few more days to see what I hear back from one of my top choices.
 
Interview Invite! I was offered Dec 12, but I have a biochem final that day. Scheduled for Jan 8th, morning session. Very excited, never been west of TX before!
Also, I wanted to share a recommendation I got from a fellow SDNer to stay at the Hilton on the list of possible hotel options. This hotel has a free airport shuttle that will also take you to the interview, which will save $$ on cabs or a rental car, especially for people under 25.
 
I heard that Hampton will pick you up and drop you off from the airport as well. ^^
 
I'll be there, too!
 
II today, did not schedule yet though. Complete 11/28.

I will most likely not schedule one.

Now I know who you are! Haha! 😉

+1 for Firefly (a cool tapas place). You can eat like royalty in Vegas, but you'll pay for it, too. I also like Brio and Yardhouse, but only because they don't have those where I'm from.

Protip: interviews are on Tuesdays, which are OMM days. We'll be wearing workout shorts and sweatpants because they're required clothing, but rest assured we really do wear normal clothing during the week 😉

Good luck with your interviews!
 
Withdrew my acceptance. Back in June, I would have never believed that I will be withdrawing from a school in the west coast, my preferred location.
Good Luck everyone🙂
 
Has anyone submitted their secondaries in the past two weeks? I haven't gotten any interviews and I feel like this is my last chance for this cycle anyway
 
Can anyone give me some insight on the interview? Was it open or closed file?

I had a good cop/bad cop interview too, and the admissions coordinator said something afterwards that made it seem like it was intentional.

Yep there are 2 interviewers. I had a DO/OMM prof and a basic sciences prof

I had two interviewers and both were very easy going. Both were practicing DO's and teach some classes. I was expecting a good cop/bad cop duo as well since that's what the admissions coordinator told us. However, mine were pretty nice and asked straight forward questions.
 
Yes meeting was today. Decisions have been made. I guess we will hear the news next week!!! 😱
 
Accepted today off the wait list. Will be withdrawing my acceptance. Good luck to everyone!
 
Accepted today. Interviewed 12/12. Will accept.
 
Has anyone else been accepted from the 11/27 interview?

Omg, been driving myself crazy all day for nothing. Acceptance letter in my spam folder since 9 this morning 🙂
 
Hey, so to clarify some things...Touro is not "Jewish funded" it is "Jewish sponsored" (which is one step down from being affiliated). Affiliated schools are like Loma Linda and Notre Dame and have much more extensive connections to their religion of choice. Touro being Jewish sponsored honestly has very little effect on the "day to day" for non-Orthodox students. However, if you are Orthodox, then the school provides many more conveniences for you to participate more easily. That is it. They talk about it a lot because that was the entire point of beginning the Touro system decades ago was to create a more comfortable place for Orthodox students. It sets them apart from every other university in the country. Feel free to message me with more questions.
 
For those of you who were accepted, what was your respective science GPA, cumulative GPA, and MCAT?

Thank you
 
Flying in late tomorrow night for my interview on the 8th. I've never been to vegas before, so I'm excited to do some sight-seeing! Travelling solo on this trip, so if any other interviewees would like to meet up for dinner or to walk around the strip at some point in the next couple days I would really appreciate the company!
