Yeah all those questions are good to know. Know your strengths and weaknesses in your application like either low mcat or low gpa. if asked be honest that you had problems but also demonstrate that you have or are working on those issues. Also be yourself, and don't have rehashed answers memorized. Place yourself into the answer so they see you are a person. They are looking for personable people which helped me out in the interview.
I didn't see any sort of deposit due or deadline to return the acceptance letter
CONGRATS!!!!ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!
ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I am taking the summer anatomy course. A lot of people have told me it helps so much for the beginning. I'm sending out my sigh up sheet soon.
Congrats!!ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Yeah I remember that when I interviewed, Lissette answered the phone and someone was asking about the deadline. Apparently this year it was a month earlier than last year and many people were thrown off about this. So it became a mad dash to get the applications in.For those who are still waiting, I spoke to Lissette on Wednesday, and apparently, they're all over the place right now (makes sense due to the large influx of apps after spring break). They still have a lot of apps to go through, so keep the faith 🙂
congrats to those already accepted though!!
I was accepted to booth as well. I think the thing to focus on is living in Lake Erie vs NYC. Also Lecom said in their letter you need a 3.0 but I heard rumors that students really need a 3.4 GPA to really solidify their acceptance to the DO program. Also it is graduate level classes (Lake Erie) vs medical school level classes (Touro). And Touro no longer cares about the mcat but LECOM wants at least a 23 overall mcat. Hope this helps
Yeah I sent out my decision letter to Touro the following day after I got accepted lol.
I think it is an automatic interview with the school. I have heard that if you get a 3.4 or higher it is almost certain u get in. I know someone that goes there and yes there is a dress code.
I was wondering if anyone has heard back from the school concerning financial aid?CONGRATS!!!!
Priority deadline is May 31, so just call the financial aid office to see if filing a fafsa is all you need to do. The school site outlines how much you get every year under cost of attendance.
Nope, I called up and spoke with Ms. Mercado and she said that I was placed on the waitlist. No interview and it's been that way for a little bit so I'm kinda assuming the worst =(
I am moving from Philadelphia back to my home in Queens. I think I will look for a place the following year. The commute is not too bad, and I will be saving a lot of money.
the NYC DO and Mentor Mentee Facebook pages are pretty active.
Haven't heard anything yet either
they still have a lot of applications to go through.. hopefully they'll wrap up by the end of this month.
From what I gather they do review people every week, but they don't send out the decision immediately. When I got my acceptance letter, it was dated the week before I received it. It takes usually up to 3 weeks after the interview to hear back.
