Question about the secondary. I dont see any essay questions. Is this correct that there is no essay for the secondary?

Keep reading. It's question 17 on page three of the actual application.
17. Personal Statement In the space provided, please print or type a response to the following statement:
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]Describe the personal characteristics you possess and the life experiences you have had that would contribute to you becoming an outstanding osteopathic physician. Please include information that will enable the Admissions Committee to understand your unique qualities. (Please attach additional pages as needed.)

One of the essay questions I actually liked. Tell me why we should select you. You'll notice there is nothing in there about academic grades. It's all personal characteristics and life experiences.
I agree. Nothing about academics, focuses solely on experience, which I feel is more important (my uGPA may have a little something to do with that too 🙄). I think that this is part of the reason that I have an interview here coming up in January. Hopefully it works out, it seems like Touro-NV is a major up and coming school and the fact that there is only 2 schools in NV makes it pretty prime for residencies/rotations in the area
I don't know how I would classify TUNCOM in the national context of the future of health care, but one thing is certain, they are absolutely an up and coming force to be reckoned with in Nevada. Aside from the fact that it is only one of two schools, its class size is twice that of the allopathic school. I've already seen some snide comments about Touro from MD's, but eventually, the people that the Allopathic school snubbed their noses at are going to return home to practice medicine and they're going to be from Touro, not UNR. It's going to force the old school grumps to reassess how they approach medicine as more and more of the family practice docs making referrals are DO's and not making referrals to people who have snubbed them simply for the letters after their name. I know I wouldn't send one of my patients in family practice to a surgeon who looked down his nose at my education. Screw him, there are others who won't
Interview invite! Sent in my stuff 10/24.
They must like me i guess 😀
Congrats and good luck. Don't forget to join our Facebook group.
For those who interviewed here, how specific will they delve into your activities? I just wanted to know because I have participated in molec bio research with a publication, and I want to know how specific they'll ask questions about your research (do they want a brief summary, or will they ask specifics about your methodology and would they want to know why you used certain materials, such as how does (_reagent_) work?)

Hello everyone. I have a couple of questions:
Does this school send a confirmation upon receiving the secondary materials?
How long did you have to wait for interview invite after submitting secondary?
If anyone can share their stats with me for receiving an interview, I would be forever grateful.
I have 3.3 cum, 3.1 science, 27O MCAT, 3.94 MPH from Fall 09 semester, expected to finish in summer. What do you guys think? Do I have a chance at Touro-NV? The suspense is killing me!
Oh an I am out of state (Cali)
Thanks a lot... good luck to you all!
sorry if this is a silly question...science hours? is that experience in a health-care setting?
Does anyone know the COMLEX 1 and 2 pass rates for first time takers?
Does anyone know what % of students take the USMLE? And what % pass the USMLE out of the amount that take the exam.
I wish they published these scores somewhere.
Accepted: 1 interview 1 acceptance this cycle
I will be interviewing in 2 weeks. I have around 50 science credits. Based on other posts, it seems like the interviewers want more. Do you think they will grill me on why I have only 50 science credits. What are they looking for? Will I be waitlisted with only 50 sci credits?
