Not positive about this one but I would assume it's the same. Definitely consider emailing the director before registering for a class. She's really nice and quick with emails.
Thanks. Will do.

Hey Everyone!
Quick question... I just went to send my MCAT scores to this program and it's not listed anywhere on MCAT THx... am I doing something wrong?
Hello,
Below are the steps that I used to submit my scores:
1 - Log in into the MCAT THx system
2 - Select "Create and Print" (3rd option listed near the bottom of the page)
3 - Choose "Create"
4 - Click on "Retrieve your report"
5 - Save/Print the page as PDF file
6 - Email the PDF file to Ms. Beth Portnoy ([email protected])
I hope this helps.
I think it depends on how quickly the admissions committee makes decisions and during which time period the application was submitted. I would guess it would take a longer time if they received your application during a time when a lot of other applications were received.
Yes, the interview invite was via email. I received my interview invitation within a couple of days after being marked complete. Hope this helps!

I didn't check online but I did receive an email stating that my application was complete. I'm sure if you email Beth Portnoy (she's the M.S. Program Administrator) she'll be able to give you more information on whether or not your application is complete or missing something. She was really nice and helpful during my application process.
I actually just got offered an interview today.
Interviewed! Now the waiting game
About 3 weeks ago. Got the interview request about a week an a half after
For the interviews...do they let you pick which day you want to come in or are there set times you can pick from? Also how do they choose who gets a phone interview?
For those who have gotten accepted or received interview invites, can you please share your stats.
Also does anyone know when touro calculates the GPA, if they do grade replacement or is it done amcas style?

For anyone who has already applied can you send LORs via Interfolio?
Awesome. Thanks!
Just make sure to choose the masters program and not the DO program when selecting on Interfolio or else it won't be seen by the program director. You can also just send them straight to the program director using her email.
It is the same with me! They haven't responded to me either. So I'm super worried too...
I applied 2 weeks ago and I called today just to make sure they had everything. They told me they did so fingers crossed!
For anyone that has interviewed, did they tell you how how long they are interviewing for/ how many people are already accepted?
Hello
Congrats to those who are accepted!
I just wanted to get an opinion of my competitiveness for this program. I have a 3.2sci and a 3.6cum. Just below 20mcat
Volunteer and extra curriculars 4000+ hours
DO and MD LOR, among others
Any advice, opinions regarding if I'd get an interview ? Thank You
Hey!
Definitely think you have a great shot! Your GPA wouldn't be the red flag for their app. They would focus more on the MCAT Im sure but an admissions rep in the DO school told me that they do accept student with MCATs in the teens and I heard from a third year that the minimum Mcat needed was an 18 but she wasn't 100% sure on that. Anyway good luck!
Hey, I thought I would add to this forum. I had my interview this morning and it was very relaxed. I thought they would be asking me hard ethical healthcare questions but they only questioned my academic history for a bit and then kinda allowed me to ask questions. I'm pretty sure I asked more questions to Dr. Prancan then he did to me. For some reason, the way he spoke in the interview implied that I was already accepted. Do candidates who get interviewed usually get accepted? He also tried to tell me to retake the MCAT before coming to the masters program. My MCAT fits the master's program but he wants me to apply to other schools as well.
@DocShah
My stats are cGPA: 3.64 MCAT: 24 (Taken Once) sGPA: Slightly Lower than 3.6 ish (I don't actually know)
I'm a Biochemistry Major
Out of State: California
I remember asking Beth about the seats in the program in January and she said most of the seats get filled later in the spring. I also looked at Dr. Prancan's skype account under how many contacts he has and it was 4 so I am assuming there are still a lot of seats left.
@Pancaketowers
Wait Dr. Prancan did the same thing to you? Damn....hmmmm Yeah it was incredibly weird. I kinda got worried towards the end of the interview thinking that he would want to like deny me so that I would retake the MCAT and apply more broadly. Have you just interviewed or have you been officially accepted?
BTW does anybody know how long I should wait for like a decision letter... weeks? months?

I think that is a reoccurring theme in his interviews. My friend and I both interviewed within the past week and Dr. Prancan also encouraged us to re-take the MCAT and to apply to other medical schools as well. He said that this program is a really narrow opportunity so he wants his students to have as many opportunities to pursue medicine as possible. My friend actually felt the EXACT same way after her interview. She felt as though they may not accept her because they kept harping on the fact that she doesn't really need this program due to her good GPA. What she really needs is to retake her MCAT since that's the only part of her app really holding her back. Gives us a lot to think about and consider.....
Interviewed on 2/5/15I'm going to take a seat if accepted but I might take the new MCAT before starting the M.S. program in July. Dr. Prancan just wants everyone to have an optimal amount of options open. A competitive score in the new test would be equivalent to a 28 on the old test, a least that's what Dr. Prancan said. However, to me a competitive score would be a 30. Has anyone been accepted yet or does anyone know long should I wait for a decision to be made? By the way, if anyone needs interview advice or questions on the application feel free to ask me.
Hi, new SDNer here and wanted some input about my stats. I recently received my mcat score which is atrocious. I was hoping for a decent mcat score to make up for my low GPA but I failed to do that. This was my top post bacc program choice and now I'm not sure if I would even have the slightest bit of a chance. If anyone can give me some input, that would be great.
cGPA- 3.1
sGPA- 2.97
Mcat- 19 (was too stubborn to get special accommodation for my adhd and now I'm paying the price)

Hey,
Your GPA and score and not that bad, give yourself some credit man.
With that, my honest advice is if you haven't applied yet, go meet someone in person. Show them why it's your top choice. Taking the time to visit will make you stand out if your close.
I just submitted my application after doing that and I feel good. Let's hope for the best. My sgpa is similiar to yours, my overall is 3.6 and my mcat is similiar.
Relax, apply, and it'll all work out.
I agree! It won't hurt you to apply! I would also apply now because applying early will give you the greatest chance of acceptance.
As mentioned earlier, Relax!
