Program-Specific Info / Q's Touro University Interview

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hi, the group interview takes place before the couple individual interviews. It starts with a team work activity, then one of the faculty member will ask questions towards the entire group after it's done. Some questions include:
What did you learn from this group activity?
What were some difficulties the group experienced?
How can you improve working as a group?

Some of the individual interview questions were:
Why is Touro a good fit for you?
What contributed to your decision to become an OT?
What do you like to do for fun?
Tell me about the place you volunteered.
Thank you for your help! It means a lot. I'm going to be flying out there and I never been on a plane so I feel like I'm going to be stressed out enough due to that. When did you have your interview?
 
Oh cool! Did you like it? Did you get accepted?

I definitely liked it. The staff members are wonderful, and you can tell they care about their students. It is the main reason why I am going there. I already put down my deposit!

I interviewed the 19th too and also got in!
 
Hi guys,
I was just wondering to those who interviewed on 2/23, did they tell you when you will find out about admissions decisions or if the class is already full this year?
I interviewed on 2/16 and the wait is killing me
Thanks!

They said March 8 will be the day. They also said that if you're waitlisted they won't tell you where you're at on it, which is annoying. I have no idea if there are any spots left in the program either
 
welp just got the email from touro.. 2017 class is filled..
 
I haven't heard anything from them.. I'm guessing I got denied then
Hopefully you hear by tomorrow, I was suppose to hear by the 8th also but they informed me earlier; not sure if thats a good thing or not.
Please post if you hear any updates from Touro!

Got the email today that I'm waitlisted
 
Has anyone on the waitlist heard back yet? I am not sure when they start notifying students about decisions

I'd assume that they just move through the waitlist as people decide to leave the program. I would think that they'd want to contact the next person on the waitlist as soon as possible to make sure that the spot is filled. I haven't heard anything back either. So either no one has left the program or people have and we are not high enough on the waitlist to get that email update
