The M/F ratio at Touro is something I'm very interested in. When I called the infamous Quality Inn to reserve a room for my interview (this was back in Nov), the guy responded "Are you making this reservation for you?" I said "Yes." He said, "oh . . . I thought it was a woman college, you're the FIRST guy to get a room here for Touro."
At my interview, their were 9 woman and 2 men, including myself. So I asked the QI shuttle bus driver, "What would you say the ratio of women to men that you drive here is?" Without missing a beat he says, "10 women for every man."
I was shocked. I think this in some weird phenomenon happening at Touro, where when more women then men are applying. I think a very high percepntage of the people they've accepted thus far are women and . . . at this late date, they are trying to make up for it by interviewing almost ALL men. Otherwise, the imbalence would be even more pronounced than last year.
Being a guy, I of course feel lucky. Its odd. Touro has the highest F/M ratio of ANY medical school. And I think it has to do with applicants, not some school policy. Does this stike anyone as odd?
it still blows my mind) about the housing bidnass...so post to your heart's content!
