TOUROCOM-NY Acceptances
Started by clement
Any word on how often they hold the interviews?

139230
12-15 people twice each week since January would be about 324 people so far.
According to the posts here they have given out about 133 acceptances.
"113 acceptances, not counting the "20 or so" acceptances that went out last week"
If those numbers are correct than its about a 41% acceptance rate for those that get an interview...if anyone wanted to know.

Forget med school .... be a number cruncher!!! lol
Not everyone that gets an acceptance letter takes it.
How on earth did you get those numbers, and how do you know they are accurate?
On AACOM its says 125 students is that true?

I got all of those numbers from pages 7, 8, and 9 of this forum, and I don't know if they are accurate. Yes, 125 students for the first class is true.
As people have said, 55 deposits have been paid so far so just because they gave out over 125 acceptances doesn't mean that the class is full or even close to it.

This may be presumptious... but for those lucky enough to be accepted at TOURONY and also waitlisted and still interviewing elsewhere, the $2000 may be their safety deposit if they're not accepted at their first choice.
"Tuition Deposit: An additional payment of $1,000 is due by May 15th for those accepted for admission before May 1st, and by June 15th, for those accepted after May 1st. Except for this year when the additional payment will be due by July 15th. This tuition deposit is refundable if notice of cancellation is made prior to or on the first day of mandatory orientation."
I think the seats might initially be filled by June, but they should also reopen consistently (as students come of other waitlists) up until that first day of mandatory orientation.
There's hope!
Does anyone know if their is any risk behind Touro's Provisional Accreditation?
Risk? I don't know about that but the school gets actual accreditation after the first class graduates. So it's not like the accreditation can be taken away, it just has to be proven that the school can get a group of 125 people to become doctors in 4 years. Just remember Touro-NY isn't the only school with provisional accreditation right now. There's also the school in Arizona and doesn't PCOM Georgia have provisional? Or did they finish theirs?
Can anyone help me out? I got an email from Mr. Figueroa on Sunday asking me to call his office. I have called every day and sent a few emails but I have not been able to get in touch with him. Those of you that have been in contact with him, what is the best way to get in touch with him? Are there some times that are better to call his office than others?
-thanks
-thanks
I've found email to be the most reliable method of reaching him. You could try calling the x2003 extension and occasionally he picks up. More often it's Tameka who'll answer. She can leave a message with him to call you back.
Good luck!
Does anyone know when the exact start date for Touro NY? Orientation and first day of class???

Here's to hoping!I was at the March 27th Interview too! You got that financial aid email??! It said we were accepted, but I never got the official admissions acceptance!
The school follows strict Jewish tradition, so most likely they are all out of the office already.
I guess Mr. Figueroa will email us this weekend, or we can try calling them on Monday 🙂
Just jumping in to say that I interviewed this week and received that financial aid email as well.
I interviewed on the 21st of March at tourocom. I got an email from financial aid today saying:
Dear Students,
Congratulations on your acceptance into Touro's College of Osteopathic Medicine. I have attached the estimated cost of attendance and information regarding housng. In the weeks to follow you will recieve a Financial Aid Package with all the additional information needed to apply for your loans. In the meantime, if you haven't already done so please complete the FAFSA online. If you have any questions feel free to call or email me.
I am not sure if they sent this out to everyone by mistake or if they forgot to send us formal admission letters. Hopefully the later is true. Did anyone who was rejected or waitlisted get this email also? Any other March 20th or 21st people receive this?

You keep reading my mind😀
i interviewed with him and have already sent a pm his way😉
ill post back with any news
Those of you that got this infamous financial aid email (being that the first sentence was "congratulations on your acceptance" i'm pretty sure you guys are ok), how many of you are planning on sending in your deposits? Or maybe I should ask, are any of you NOT planning on sending your deposit?
I just received my official acceptance and response form after my interview on March 27th. I guess the financial aid email was first and then the official acceptance!
CONGRATULATIONS peace! i hope we are in the same boat, though still no official acceptance for me...was this received via email or snail mail?
I just got the official acceptance too! It's via email (it's stamped at 9:18pm on 3/31/2007) and it went something like: "On behalf of the Admissions Committee, it gives me great pleasure to notify you of your acceptance to TOUROCOM-NY, for Fall 2007."
They said that the $2000 deposit is due 2 weeks after receiving the letter but then it also said that a hard copy of the acceptance will follow soon. So would the deposit be due 2 weeks after the email receipt or the hard copy receipt?
Anyway, I'm psyched!

Thanks! If you got the fin. aid email, I'm sure you'll get the other email!! I got the acceptance via email today around 5pm-ish today and received the response form about half an hour later. I really hope you got an acceptance!!!

holy cow... you guys type a lot. =)
Does anyone know if Dr.Terry is the guy in charge? or one of the guy that is responsible for opening the new school? He told my sister awhile back but I haven't gotten the chance to talk to him about it.
Thanks!

i remember obed telling us that the deposit is due two week from the day you get the email, because they tend to reach the students first. Congratulations on your acceptance. Here I am with the waitlisters...hoping for the best for my kind 😕
Has anyone here been called off wait-list yet? Do you know when and how the admissions will start pulling people off wait-list?
First off, congratulations! Second, did you have an attachment to that email? Like a return form or something that you send to them to confirm your acceptance? I got the email but that's about it :|
thanks!
and there was no 'Response Form' attached to my email..i emailed obed about that, hopefully i will hear something soon and i assure you that i will keep you updated! 😀
I attached the form to this message. So you guys don't have to wait for Obed to send it. They forgot to send it with our batch of acceptances as well. So someone posted it on the touro-ny yahoo group. You should join that and the facebook group if you plan to attend. Congrats to all. Hope to see you in the fall🙂
Among the waitlisted peeps...I was listed as "Waitlist-high." Did anybody else get waitlist-medium or waitlist-low...or are most people generaly being put in the "waitlist-high" grouping...trying to figure out how much hope to have.
thanks con👍
i joined the facebook community, and will join the yahoo group shortly..looking forward to seeing you in the fall 😀
