For discussion about the general aspects of the school.
Hello my fellow native Detroiter. I'm currently attending Touro-NY and I asked the director of admissions about the timeline for interviews because I have a few other friends applying there as well, and he told me that they're hoping to start sending interview invitations in early October. This was a couple weeks ago, so I don't know if anything has changed, but that's what he told me then. Also, I doubt that they'll be inviting everyone who applied to interview, it just seems to me like that'd be a waste of time and energy to interview people who probably will not be accepted.
Best of luck to you!
I just received an interview invite by email today too, without any attachments as well.
Hi Guys,
I am excited about this school. What are your feelings about the school? What is the schedule like?
Thanks, you answered most of my questions. One more if you don't mind. Do they have Problem Based Learning?
I have an interview on November 6th and was just curious if anyone knew how many TOURO-NYCOM students go into surgery. I've heard they are very primary care based as with many DO schools, but I want to go into surgery and am interested in how their surgery rotations were set up.
I don't think any of us can answer your question about how many students were interviewed last year, that would be a question for the director of admissions. I can tell you that we have a class of 135 (and I assume that it'll be the same size for next year's class). Again, it's better to apply early than late when you're competing for fewer spots.
A few more quick questions if you don't mind...
Do they offer streaming of the classes?
Is there a dress code?
Is attendance mandatory?
Thanks for your answer and help
Here are some more questions for current students (thanks in advance!)
I know Touro College is a religiously affiliated school - can you talk about what that means as far as the medical school goes? Are most of the students Jewish? Non-Jewish?
What about LGBT students? What is the campus climate like? Conservative? Liberal? Etc. (This is in response to last year's headlines regarding the LGBT group at Touro-MI)
Are most people 'urban'? Or a mix of students from everywhere?
Thanks for your answers!!

sooo i'm a bit confused..
i received a secondary in snail mail this week, but no interview invite...does this mean i will get an interview? or "most likely" get an interview? or is it just like a normal secondary?
thanks..
Colbert, where did you obtain the stats from? The stats look reasonable for a DO school, but I just don't want to give myself false hope. I know, I'm a pessimist. Thanks.Instead of my stats, because mine and some of my other classmate's stats vary widely, I'll give you the Class of 2011 Averages/Ranges.
MCAT - 25.8
Science GPA- 3.13
Overall GPA - 3.27
Academic credential range - Baccalaureate-Doctorate
Average age - 25 (range: 21-47)
In-state: 45%
Based on those, I definitely think you have a fair shot. I have no idea about interviews or scheduling of interviews, so I can't help you there, I don't know how they're taking care of those.
Good luck!
well, I just got my interview invite today! To say I'm excited would be the understatement of the year, hehe...
Anyone have any word on the format of the interview process (i.e. open or closed file, one-on-one, etc)?
I'll likely be there on the 30th since I actually don't have class that day... maybe I'll see some of you there!
hi guys
I was called for an interview with Touro
But I was reading about the school, and people were saying how it is not well prepared, not enough facilities, and that students DO NOT get any sort of clinical exposure until thier 3rd and 4th yr which puts them behind of all other students
any thoughts/
thanks
