I think I remember seeing someone asking this in a previous cycle's thread, but did anyone else get an email for the MHS program at Touro?

Do you think they invite all waitlisters? It seems silly to have us apply to an MHS program knowing that theres a chance we wil be accepted off of a waitlist...
 
Placed on waitlist last week and haven't heard anything yet, but it's still early for me. Does anyone know what the chances are of getting accepted after interviewing so late (last interview date in May).
 
Also I can't remember if they rank the waitlist early June or Mid-June?
 
Any current or past MHS student from NV shed more information about this program? Class of 2018 will have 60 seats.
How many will get into DO?
MCAT/GPA of those who got into DO after MHS?
How's the living, close to school or further, is it safe area?
What are the good apartments to live in?
What's the cost including everything?
Need car or not?
 
Dropped my acceptance today. It seems like a really good school and they have an excellent match list. Good luck to you guys. I hope one of you get it!
 
Any waitlisted people heard back? There's been a lot of activity at other schools but nothing from Touro NV....
 
It's always a good idea to keep the school posted. All of your updates get saved in your file. It could get you over the fence if you're waitlisted or even an interview if they're still looking for more candidates. Doesn't hurt to put in the extra effort.

I agree and have been updating but I noticed recently in my waitlist email that they did not want updates. Hope it doesn't hurt me

They only accept academic updates post-interview. Don't think it'll hurt you, they probably just won't add it to your file for consideration.

Is anyone going to opt out of the school's health insurance? $448.5 a month is pretty steep.

I agree that this is pretty steep. Do any current students opt to use medicaid or an alternative provider? If so any recommendations?

I looked into Medicaid but it's not an option if you have been working in 2017. In addition, you have to waive the school's insurance by July which is approaching. However looking into the details of the coverage, the plan being offered is very good. A $250 deductible is very small and they cover 100% of procedures. So basically it make sense why it's so expensive.
 
Hi all,

Hope you don't mind me posting here. Will be an orthodontics resident at Roseman in Henderson, NV. Looking for 2 roommates to join me at my house. Rooms share jack-jill-bathroom. Plenty of parking and close driving distance to school. Here is a link to my Craigslist ad if interested:

$600 Room for Rent in Henderson (6 Month Duration)

Thanks for looking!

I don't that's entirely true unless you've made more than ~16k in the past year. If you made under than that you're still eligible for medicaid.

Congrats to people who's been accepted off the waitlist!

So I applied for Medicaid and I got a denial letter not too long ago. I think it's because until June 2017, I made more than $20,000, which probably is the reason why. I am not too sure about when I would be eligible for medicaid (later this year? Next year?) Does anyone know when we can apply again?
 
My understanding is we can do Medicaid once 2018 hits cuz then our income will officially be 0.
