Pretty much the same thing here. I think they were just exceptionally delayed, nothing more.

Same here. Released on 9/20, got the secondary today. Sorry if this is a stupid question but are you guys able to type in the Signature field? I am able to type in all other boxes but not the signature box...
 
Looks like all 4 of us just received the secondary finally. Unlike the Touro CA one, this one asks for info for 2 of our references.

If we are having a committee letter packet sent, how are we supposed to proceed with this? I have like 5 letters in the packet + a DO letter. Do I randomly pick one of the science profs to put down?

I don't think you can type in the signature box in acrobat. You're supposed to set up a digital signature (like a stamp) and add that to the field.

For the Touro CA secondary, I printed the page, signed it, and re-scanned it. That's a pain because I don't have a scanner at home. Does anyone have experience with just using a digital signature? I don't know if they'll accept it and I don't want to run the risk of delaying my app any more than it already is.

You can fill out the form in acrobat but the signature field does not work. (or at least it didnt work for me) I printed it after filling it out and signed it.

I imagine that there is a reason the e-signature field isn't working. e signatures are not generally accepted except for within a designated work environment where it is clearly stated as acceptable. I would print, sign, scan, then email. I used to have a good printer for that at work but had to go to Fed Ex this time for my Touro CA secondary. I scanned the documents, emailed to myself, and then sent off. A bit of a process, but this all has been, right?

I also have a committee letter + 2 DO letters, so I just picked two out of those who know me best in case the school really contacts them, which happens to be one professor from the committee and one DO physician. I just feel like they could provide us some instruction on filling out the supplemental.... or maybe just me..

Yeah I did that for Touro CA as well. I just thought the "electronic signature certification" was meant for allowing us to type our names instead of signing it. But oh wellz, we gotta print out the technical standards form anyways so might as well haha. Thanks and good luck everyone!
 
So group's that interviewed on Sept 10th didn't admission said we will hear back before or on Oct 18th?
 
Has anybody interviewed here AND KCUMB or DMU? Can't decide on whether or not to spend the $600 it will cost to interview here.

I think we will hear tomorrow! I remember her say on the 18th or the 21st!
 
Ya i hope so we hear today, on Monday sucky part is I will not have access to my phone or internet till after 4ish🙁.
 
Canceled my interview (10/21) and withdrew my application.

Good luck to the rest of you!
 
Accepted !!!! most likely will matriculate here 🙂
 
Accepted!! So excited! Will most likely be matriculating!
 
Accepted. Will most likely not be matriculating over Western; however, I plan on doing a detailed analysis of both school and will reserve judgement until then.

Congrats to all those who were accepted! I absolutely loved the town of Henderson.
 
AhhHHhhHHhhhHH

No email for me yet!

Guess this might mean a rejection/waitlist in the mail!

Good to hear everyone else is doing great though! Thankfully I've been accepted somewhere else but still---gotta love Henderson!

As did I. Congrats on the acceptances and good luck to the rest of you!

Edit: oops, didn't realize I typed exactly what you did at the end. Haha, my fault.
 
Sigh 🙁

While I'm very happy to have an acceptance somewhere else--I was really hoping for Touro-NV. I know out of the 600 they interview, they accept 250ish so the chances are a little over 1/3 but I was under the assumption that being a bit earlier--my chances would be higher.

I think it might just be the fact that this is my first major rejection. 😡😡

Video Game/Book Binge tonight for sure.

Sorry to hear that, but glad to hear you've got an acceptance!
 
Accepted as well 🙂. It's a hard decision but I'm leaning AZCOM right now. I got accepted to Nova too but that is too far away so I knew it would be between Touro Nevada and AZCOM.
 
I should have heard back by now. I guess I'm rejected? Oh well. :laugh:
 
Has there been any interview invites? I have been completed early september and havent heard of anything.
 
LaughingMan said:
Anyone hear back anything today? Trying to gauge whether or not all the decisions were sent out last Friday.

Are they e-mail or snail mail? I haven't received either, but maybe it's still in the mail if it's the latter.

edit: Just checked my e-mail and I'm waitlisted.

Hmm, I still havent received anything yet.

No email of acceptance or no email of wait list.

Maybe that means I have a rejection pending in the mail?

In any case--I will call by Thursday if I havent heard back.

I really liked the school, and felt I owned the interview--though my interviewers did mention some possible red flags. Now I know how those NSU guys feel!
 
So I sent my secondary, hopefully to the right email address since yahoo mail keeps randomly deleting or losing my emails (?!).

And I still need to pay my secondary fee but since I don't have the secondary invitation email, I don't know where to do that. Can anyone provide a link to the secondary payment page? My calls and voicemails to the admissions office are going completely unanswered.

They only send acceptances via snail mail. I emailed admissions to ask and got a waitlist email in return. Thats waitlist number two for me 🙁

I actually got my acceptance notification via email.
 
I got an acceptance email last Friday. I live in Henderson so thought I would've gotten the packet by now. How long does it normally take to get the packet?

Yes! I am in the same boat (10/9 AM session)

I'm not feeling too good though, it seems like the acceptances went out last week and the waitlists/rejections are going out this week :/
 
Just withdrew from TUNCOM, so there should be an early December interview slot available in case anyone wants to switch to another date. 🙂 Best of luck, everyone! :luck:

+1 more day goes by....
 
LaughingMan said:
I'm also still waiting. Sent off an email yesterday morning asking my status so hopefully I'll hear back later today.

Does anyone recall the first date that wait-listed individuals are reviewed?

Believe it was April or May but dont quote me, still waiting here from 10/9

I wasn't aware there were quite a bit of people still waiting from 10/9.

Hopefully we hear back soon.

A waitlist would definitely be killer though, April or May? 😱😱😱

I hope they reviewed only half of the people and all of us who havent heard back could still be accepted!
