When did they up their minimum??? I applied for the 2010-2011 cycle and got a secondary still, i just applied super late
what's the minimum subsection score to get a secondary? 6, 7, or 8?
I am really hoping to get in to Touro-COM-CA!!!
Does anyone know, do they give preference to CA residents?
Also, what do you guys think of their campus? (I think its really cool, but a little shocking at first).
I've never been. What is shocking about it?
Received an invitation to submit the supplementary!
"Your AACOMAS primary application has been received and reviewed by the TUCOM, California Admissions Committee. Congratulations on successfully completing the first phase of the admissions process! The policy with regards to who receives Supplementary Applications varies from school to school. Not all candidates for admission to TUCOM are invited to move on to the next phase. For more information regarding TUCOM's admissions requirements and procedures, please refer to the Admissions web site at www.tu.edu/COMadmissions.
To begin this next phase in the admissions process, you must first complete and submit the Supplementary Application as soon as possible. For your convenience, the supplemental application is available on-line by visiting the above link, then clicking on Supplemental Application. ........ "
In case any of you are wondering:
My primary app was downloaded by TUCOM on 6/23.
And my stats are: 3.6 sciGPA, 30 MCAT
are you instate or out of state?

Just coming in to say hello early in the thread. I will be re-applying to Touro-CA if I am not accepted this during this cycle.
Good luck to everyone.
I have a question regarding the supplemental application. Is it one page PER question or one page TOTAL for both questions?
I had the same question. I emailed admissions and they responded- Please Read the Directions. I scoured the website, secondary email and the supplemental app and still wasn't sure if it was one page total or one per question. Long story short, I still don't know and now admissions thinks I am dumb. Great!
That's exactly what I did. They emailed me back with the same response. Im sp confused! Most schools usually want short answers so I don't know why they would want such long responses.
I'm kinda confused on completing the secondary... there's four lines of space (not like a big white box, but literally 4 white boxes), so how much space does that give us?
Secondly, I sincerely hope this isn't an application I have to send it via mail T_T, because so far its looking like it.

Yeah, I was wondering that too. Questions 15 and 16 of the secondary app are 4 separate lines, but each line apparently goes on forever. Are we supposed to just give a short 2-3 sentence answer for these questions?
Actually, the lines do not go on forever. Not sure what version of web browser you are using. I have internet explorer.
I think it's one page for each question (notice EACH is in bold). I assume it's also double spaced, which means really only half a page single spaced. So far, I am having trouble keeping either one of them less than a page single spaced!
one page for each question seems way too long. I've never had a supplemental essay question that long. I'm going to stick with one page total as well.
I've submitted the secondary and limited it to one page for EACH of the two questions. In previous years they only asked one essay question and said to limit it to a page. They have just added an additional essay question (the first question is the same one they had in the past). So the limit is one page per question. Up to you how long to make it...
Oh, ok, thanks for clearing it up. Did you double space?
I'm getting a bit frustrated with this application. Asking all of the same questions that I've worked so hard on filling out in my AACOMAS application isn't really amusing. Even moreso is the archaic html-type secondary applications. It's 2011 isn't it?

I am guessing they require fairly short answers about a paragraph in length, but does anyone know for sure?
