yeahh, their first interview will be on Sept. 29th for early decisions. I received a letter last week and just called this morning to schedule one for regular decision, which will start on Oct. 21st. hope that clarifies your confusion 🙂

Thanks for clarifying the interview dates. I was unaware of the early decision process. If I submitted my application in early June, am I automatically qualified for early decision or is there still time to inform the admissions committee that I would like to be an early decision candidate?

annievu: Thanks!!! I'm excited, but nervous also... never been in the westcoast before. I submitted my appl. in the mid-August.
esteb: when I called Ms. Julie to schedule an interview, she said the "next available date" is Friday Oct. 21st. If you sent in your appl. between June and the end of July, you'd be considered for early decision I think. b/c I sent mine in Aug. and I was considerabled for regular. I guess the interviews for early dec. have been filled, but it'd not hurt to call and check with Julie. she's very nice...
Does anyone else know what other dates the interviews will be held on?
I just received an invitation in the mail
and I'm not too sure I can make it to the Oct. 21st interview. I don't want to call Ms. Lee and make it seem like I'm haggling over interview dates. TIA all.

Hi there, you can go to the Interview section (Pharmacy) in studentdoctor.net front page and look for Touro Univ..and yea, Congrats on getting an interview and Good luck! ...I know how it would feel...and I want to experience feeling that someday for real...
hmm...i'm wondering if those who got invited got Bachelors yet? bc it seems like they're selecting most of those who got Bachelors for interviews over those who do not....it's true bc i applied way back in the end of July and havent receive any invitation....i will definitely try again next summer after all of this waiting...
gmohamma said:I am so excited i got an interview too! But I have to wait till monday to schedule it and now im worried because oct 21?? The day before I have to take the pcat ?? blah!!! 😕
Congratulations, aren't you relieved, and yah I have to schedule next week too... blow off the pcat, no just kidding good luck! 👍
and to annievu, don't worry, have faith... 😉

Thanks! I am VERY relieved but ever since last night my stomach has been in knots!! I guess i will see you at the interview! 🙂

I think schools usually interview over 200 students because a lot ppl decline acceptance if they get accepted to fully accredited schools, but schools that have the time and money like USC will interview over 500 ppl 😱 . However, I think we're pretty early on the interview list so we have a better chance with Touro. good luck 😉 👍
Does anyone know if Touro will allow phone interviews? I just got an interview invitation yesterday- I'm so excited!!! But I live on the East Coast and don't know if I'll be able to make it out there in time for an interview at the end of October.
By the way, someone asked if the people they were inviting had Bachelor's Degrees- I have one but I don't know if that is one of the main criterion they're using or not.
Thanks!

Anyone who got interview at Touro that goes to a Community College with a high GPA? please let me know
lcfan4ever said:
Hello there lcfan4ever, I tried to apply for Early Decision, but dunno if I got in the Early Decision or not, because they might select just about 20 or 30 pple in the ED...I haven't get all my pre-regs done yet...Still working on them...and please do apply there even thou u haven't done with ure pre-reg...always give a shot....i might apply again next year too if this time i don't get interview...
good luck to all!
you cannot apply as early decision when ur pre-pharmacy coures are not done. Early Decision is for people who completed all their prepharmacy courses...you weirdannievu said:
why u apply for early decision when ur courses are not even finish? im confused 😕annievu said:

early decision doesnt mean you get in earlier, it just means that you will choose that school no matter what, you cant go to another pharm school if you get accepted. so.. you can have courses that you havent yet finished. i think you're the one who is confused, worcesterphoboy. haha.
anyone had a 3.0?
3.92 community college, sent in complete application 5 weeks ago, no response yet
ICA said:
Yeah! How exciting! Touro is the first school I've heard back from so I'm really happy, but I'm a little apprehensive about spending so much money on the plane ticket and hotel (I'm from New Jersey).
For anyone from California- What kind of place is Vallejo? I tried looking up info. on the internet but couldn't find anything too concrete.
Thanks!
Stephie
Stephie said:
Vallejo is located about 30 minutes away from San Francisco in North California. Without car, you can use ferry as transportation to come to San Fran (SF is a very fun and interesting city). Vallejo doesn't seem like a cool and fun city...but if you ever stop by a theme park there called Six Flags Marine World then you'll see how cool and fun it is....Touro Univ is located on Mare Island which is bridged directly to Vallejo...I don't want to tell you further more because you have to come and explore to see what you're interested in....
They have a word for people like you....gunnerWorcesterPHOBoy said:

I received a letter from Touro today saying I have a completed application. And for you guys who got an interview letter, how long does it take to received a letter of complete application and the time they send u the interview letter? appromoxitly how long?
thank you Stephie!, what is the size of the envelope? and what color it is?
I know it's still kinda early, but has anyone who interviewed in September or in October been accepted to the school? I want to keep a rough estimate of spots left. Also, who wants Touro University to be their primary choice for pharmacy school?
not me!!! Touro is my back up school!!! Worcester is my number # cuz they said i am competitive! but im not sure if she say that just to encourage me to apply and waste my money!!? 😕
WorcesterPHOBoy said:
WorcesterPHOBoy,
I'm also applying to Worcester- What was your GPA and PCAT? I was just wondering because you mentioned that they said you were competitive and I'm not exactly sure what they're looking for.
Thanks!
Stephie said:
where u get ur BACHELOR DEGREE? i dont have one!! =\
so my interview date is getting closer (nov 4), and im freaking out even more... as of now touro is my #1 because it's my one and only interview so far.. they say they'll mail back responses in 2 weeks so i'll either have a really good or bad birthday present next month. i just want to get into pharmacy school!
i keep thinking, man yeah i go to UCI but i have like a 3.1 BARELY. I mean BARELY.
