I think someone else mentioned earlier in this thread that they got in an argument in this same thread about the requirements of pre-med students. This lady is a champion.

I would strongly encourage you to read last year's thread about SOMA (AT Still in Mesa) before deciding to go there. I withdrew my application there after speaking to a few current students, despite the school being in my hometown and 20 minutes from my family.
Oh yeah, as far as the tour goes ... they can't really show you inside the anatomy lab if class is in session out of respect for the cadavers and families, and they're not going to bring you into the lecture hall while lecture is going on ... that would be really disruptive. But you should be able to see important facilities and I am sad to hear about negative experiences. I've had very positive experiences at this school and would really recommend it to incoming students. And while I haven't gotten a negative impression from faculty regarding the attendance policy, I wouldn't blame them for being a little upset when 25/140 students show up for a lecture that they have prepared. If you all found yourself to be dissatisfied with something in particular, (e.g. the tour) I would suggest bringing up your issues with the school directly (in a very courteous manner of course) after you know your status. I also agree that Oscar and the admissions staff are very receptive.

Thanks for the information, melissaliss. I read last year's forum briefly about A.T Still (Seemed to get a little crazy so I started to scan it..), but I still felt really good after the interview about it. Could you PM me about any details you had dealing with your discussion with 2nd years, and things I should look out for? Western U is actually my top choice over them, still waiting to hear back.
As for TUNCOM, I didnt find the tour being too bad. It was the admissions committee that I've had a negative experience with. I'm sure not everyone will experience it, and I still do not doubt Touro is a great school. I was super impressed with their match list, so I highly suggest those with interviews to attend and give it a shot!

Yea, I think I was the only one who pickup how horrible she was. She doesn't know squat about DO admissions or AACOMAS and even admitted that she's really apart of PA admissions department. I hope someone replaces her before she drives more students away.

I actually liked it alot, i like the concept of having most of my used functions within one large building. Furthermore, the people there were incredibly friendly. Also, the interviewers were very approachable overall! So overall, i think i had a fairly good interview.

What kind of questions did they ask you? Did they ask you anything specific about your application? Where there any medical ethical or political questions?

Hey all...I interviewed yesterday & I really liked the school...all the faculty and staff were super nice. Especially Oscar who really does try to help us applicants out...I've read negative posts on here and i do think you really need to check the school out for yourself...everyone is different...

I was recently wait-listed here.
Does anyone know how many people usually are put on the wait-list and how many of those are eventually accepted?

I think I posted about this a few pages back, but I'll do a synopsis.
For the 2007-2008 application cycle and the 2008-2009 cycle, they went through like 90 people on the wait list (to fill like 50 spots). Last year, they went through somewhere around 15. It's really impossible to say what will happen. If you are on the middle or low wait lists, your chances are not good at all. If you are on the high wait list, your chances may or may not be good, depending on a lot of different factors. Just make sure to keep in touch with the school as time goes by, to let them know you're definitely interested.

MightyMoose, thank you so much for bringing this up! I interviewed the same day and heard this very same thing from everyone else. I was fortunate by being one of the lucky ones to get the real tour from Oscar, however I really did not like the facilities. For being a new school, their facilities are very run down and old. The two rooms that I actually liked were the Anatomy lab and OMM lab. However, other than that I really hated the inside of the building. I may be a bit biased since I had just interviewed at DMU and AZCOM where the facilities are great. But in general, all the schools I've interviewed at so far have much much much better facilities. I'll admit that after this experience at Touro NV, I withdrew my interview date from Tour CA.
It just doesn't make sense to me how this school has one of the highest tuitions out there, yet have one of the poorest facilities. I'm sorry to be soo blunt but I really think these things need to be said.

Before I give my opinion of the school, I certainly agree with a previous post that everyone is different and Touro may be just the perfect fit for you so check it out for yourself. With this said, I know Oscar reads SDN because he said he did so I want to be fully honest with constructive criticism/info based on my personal experience on interview day. I had that same girl for my tour as mentioned in previous posts sitting in the hall for 45 min awkwardly discussing the interview
I understand we cant necessarily walk into a lecture hall during a lecture or lab during a class, but all of the other schools Ive interviewed at have figured out a way to schedule things so interviewees could see the school. I just really thought it was unprofessional and terribly unfair to have one tour group getting all of this inside info on the interviews while the other group didnt. And I hated that she pushed us so hard to give answers too
it was just weird. And yes, we literally RAN back to the room and I was out of breath for the first part of my interview. The interview itself was equally as awkward, unfortunately. It was clear that they didnt read my application prior to the interview, and I mean really clear, spending most of the 15 min interview reading. I tried at the end to offer info that most schools were so eager to collect, but they actually just continued reading while I spoke. The other people with this same interview panel expressed similar experiences, so perhaps it was just bad luck getting them? This was the most expensive school to which I attended an interview, and I just didnt get a good feel from the atmosphere of where the funding was going
I hate to say that but it really was shocking to me
It almost gave me a feeling that the students dont respect the school enough to take care of it and thats a huge reflection on the school. And this was confusing because all the students we met that day were almost overly devoted to Touro. But as a pervious poster mentioned, the school seemed very old to be so new. Its the education that matters certainly, but with such high tuition, it seems like new carpeting and little things like that would make a big difference. I did however get a really good vibe that the school is supporting Nevada in a much needed way and again, this post is not to discourage any of my fellow applicants but to perhaps address those from the school who read SDN.

I was told by a friend who serves on an academic committee that Touro NV has the highest USMLE pass rate of any DO school.

Maybe you guys could elaborate on what parts of the facilities you disliked? Saying that they are poor and old-looking doesn't really mean much when you say that... considering I'm there every day and can't see what you're seeing. I actually remember thinking that Touro had nice facilities when I interviewed there (especially compared to AZCOM, although DMU has fantastic facilities). AZCOM is aesthetically much nicer, but I think we have a much better lecture hall for example (where you spend much of your time), because we have outlets at each set and the desks are one long table for each row. It gives you plenty of space. I'm not hating on AZCOM, because it was definitely a close decision for me, but they didn't have any outlets to keep your laptops charged, and they were the types of chairs they have in undergrad where they are all attached and you pull the little desk up from underneath your chair. Also, not all schools have adjustable OMM tables (DMU and Touro do, AZCOM does not), which is important when you are doing manipulations. We spend most of our time in the lecture hall, atrium (where you saw the tables and fridges/microwaves), OMM lab, IDL lab occasionally for histo lab (upstairs), and the anatomy lab. So I'm not really sure which facilities look old or poor to you guys?
I'm sorry that many of you had an issue with the tour guide. I strongly encourage you to e-mail Oscar with that concern, because I'm sure that if this is the general consensus, he would choose other tour guides.

Please do not think I'm personally attacking you or your school - like I mentioned, it's just my opinion and expression of the feeling I got the day of my interview. And it wasn't just the tour guide or the facilities, I was really put off by the interview itself too (as explained in my post). And the feeling you get at a school overall is so much more important than how things look, so thats why I didnt focus on explaining appearance as much in my post. But as far as the facilities go, as I and other posters mentioned, we didnt get to see much of them so Im going off what I did see. Peeking through the window at an OMM lab, the tables were covered with students, so I couldn't see anything there. We did get to go into the anatomy lab and it was clean and bright definitely the highlight of the tour - definitely would get the job done, but still not as nice as some I've seen. We didnt get to see any of the research facilities, but the lecture hall we were taken to was tucked in a corner, small, dark, and like I said just seemed like it was much older than it was. But on a tour, its hard to get a sense of the functionality of the room so I cant comment on how great the plug-ins are and what not. The halls, the student facilities, and study areas just seemed like I was walking through a community college which is great if youre paying community college prices, but the experience just confused me. As I mentioned previously, its the education received that matters most but at the same time, I know Im going to be spending a lot of time in the building where I choose to go and its important to me at least to feel comfortable and for me, this includes a clean, bright environment.

Hey, I'm sorry I really didn't mean to come off as defensive. I just thought that applicants looking on here would be really put off and if it were me I'd want to know what exactly made people not like it so I could see if it fit in with my priorities with a school or not. I think it's good though that everyone is able to post their opinions on here to help people get an idea of schools and maybe the school can even make some changes to the interview day because of it. It sounds like the tour really wrecked some of it for you guys, and I can definitely understand that being a turn off. I think I was lucky to have gotten a really good vibe when I interviewed here, but I'm sure it does depend on who's giving the tour and who does your interview. They used to have students give tours last year, which is probably better. And it'd be nice if they had the tour overlap with one of our 10 minute breaks so they could show you the lecture hall.

Hey, this forum is where you post your opinion, right? Your opinion cannot be wrong, since it is your own. It's all about finding the school that just feels best for YOU. That's why it's such a personal decision.
I have never felt that Touro feels old. I actually think everything in the school feels rather new. My only real complaint about the facilities is that there is no outdoor area where we can enjoy the sunshine and weather. I think it would be really nice to have somewhere that students can eat outside and enjoy the weather to get a break from being inside all day.
I also think that at least personally, I didn't really know what to look for when going on school tours. Now I see that the most important things to look at are the lecture hall, the OMM lab, and the anatomy lab since those are where you'll spend 99% of your time. I think the lecture hall is really nice and I like the set up of it. It's not really in a corner though, and is definitely not dark ... it's actually rather bright, unless the professor had turned off a few lights to see the screen better. I certainly wouldn't say that the facilities are the biggest drawing point of the school, of course. I also think it would be silly to base a large part of your decision on what the school looks like, since factors like the faculty, curriculum, rotation sites, match lists, and board scores are much more important to the quality of your education. I also rate location as being fairly important, since you will also be living where the school is.
As for the cost, I do believe that Touro is about the same as any other private DO school (and most of them are private). I know AZCOM is significantly more, and I think there are many others that are right around the same cost. I also don't think that a few thousand dollars difference in cost should factor into a decision. Now, if it's the difference between a public state school, that may be a ten thousand dollar per year difference, that's a different story.
Naturally, your entire "vibe" of the school when you're here is going to strongly influence your decision. And if you felt negatively about even just a few things, it's possible that your entire view of the school was affected. It is unfortunate that your interviewers did not seem prepared and that you were not pleased with the tour guide and tour. I think those matters should definitely be brought to the attention of the admissions office. When I interviewed here, my interviewers had definitely taken the time to read my file and they had prepared questions based upon it. I think it's fair to have expectations of the school you are interviewing at, since you've taken your time and money to be there. I also think it's important for applicants to arrive at any school prepared to investigate the factors that are important to their decision and to take the opportunity to ask the faculty and students good questions to aid in that decision.
I hope I don't seem defensive or offensive. I really don't care if you choose to go here or not. That's something for you to decide. But I did want to give my opinion on the matter.

Hey all,
I have been all over Touro Nevada's website and I cannot find any info on the curriculum. Any one know their methodology?
I prefer going to a school that has an integrated approach or PBL. Anything other than straight lecturing. I do not learn very well if I have to learn biochemistry and not be able to make a connection clinically. How many hours are the students in lecture each day?
It seems there are current students who look at this thread. Thanks in advance for your input.

We do team-based learning in biochemistry which involved receiving a case study and having to explain the mechanism for all the symptoms and abnormal lab tests.
We also do TBL in our basic science class where we are given an individual quiz and then later the same quiz in a group setting where we can discuss questions with our group members.
Lectures vary depending on the day and the schedule for the semester is posted online (you have to be a student to login to the system though). Most lectures are not required (there was a policy change that started this yr.) except for some in OMM and whenever there's a lab or group activity.
I'm a first year here, and I love it, its a very comfortable atmosphere, a lot smaller than where I went for undergrad (UNLV) but I feel a lot more at home. Although, I do admit I wish the lecture halls were brighter! Oh well.
Anyways, good luck and hope to see some/all of you next yr.!

Just to add some extra info. There is a lot of lecturing, but also some PBL/TBL mixed in. Most classes will always provide clinical relevance to the discussion of what you're learning about. Lecture hours per day can be anywhere from 2 or 3 up to 6ish, but for the most part, you're not required to attend (although I do). All lectures are also available video recorded online. A fair amount of students in our class do not attend lectures and prefer to learn on their own. There are also labs each week (anatomy, OMM, physical diagnosis, and histology for first years) that are required.
As for the information break down, Touro has a pretty traditional medical curriculum (which is something that attracted me to the school). The first year is spent learning basic sciences, divided up into blocks, with an exam in each course at the end of each block (every 6 weeks). Second year focuses more on clinical aspects and pathology. I do believe you can see the course breakdown for each year if you can find the course catalog on the website. I don't think you need to log in to see it.
For first semester, your courses are:
Medical biochem
Basic science foundations (physiology and histology)
Gross anatomy
OMM
Physical diagnosis
Intro to humanistic medicine (a fun humanities-type course)
Second semester courses are:
Anatomy for the first 6 weeks, which is then replaced by neuroscience
Immunity and immunology
PBL course
Preventative medicine and public health
Medical jurisprudence
OMM
Physical diagnosis
Basic science foundations again
I don't know the second year schedule off the top of my head, but I think if you can find the course catalog, you can find it.
Edit: Go here, and go to page 146 I think. http://tun.touro.edu/wp-content/uploads/TouroUniversityNevada_2010-2011_Catalog_07232010.pdf

I just received a call for a spot off the waitlist.. the only issue is that the rest of the voicemail went quiet, and I was never able to hear anything about when they would require a deposit. It's past office hours, so I have to wait until tomorrow.
I'm supposed to hear from Western by Friday latest, so I'm still in limbo on what to do. I've got a big decision to make. Do you think they would really require a deposit down tomorrow first thing? If i can wait until Friday, I'd be able to see all my options and make the best choice. Thanks Melissaliss for all your advice this fall!

Congratulations!
I remember them saying that you have 1 business day to call them back. I don't know if that means the deposit is due in 1 day or not, but it kind of sounded like it was. I remember Oscar saying that you should have the money on hand, "just in case."
I would call them back first thing and figure it out, but be ready to pay the deposit. Also, you might want to look into whether or not it is refundable. I seem to recall that all but $100 is refundable, per Nevada state law, but I don't know for sure how correct that is.

Thanks for the response! I guess I'll find out when I call 8am NV time tomorrow. Anyone else know about whether the deposit is refundable or not? I believe they say it is not, but if it's the nevada law, dont they have to abide by it?

If it is Nevada law, then yes. But I'm not positive that is the case, that's why I'm saying it might be a good idea to verify that. 😉

Awesome!!! Congrats! I do not know about the Nevada law for deposit requirements. I do know that last year you could get all but $100 refunded, but that policy may have changed, since it created problems for waitlisters last year. I don't think they would require your deposit on the spot, but there will definitely be some sort of time limit. Definitely call first thing. Especially since you never know about Western ... sometimes they say Friday and then Friday turns into Monday. You know how it goes. =)
Congratulations!!!

I'm pretty pretty sure the refund policy is a state policy, so Touro does not have control over it. 🙂

Our tour was great. For those of you complaining about a blonde lady giving the tour, it was only Oscar for us and he was super helpful. They gave us every opportunitiy to ask questions, and the other applicants were all really nice.
The only thing I didn't like was at the end they had the student government come in to answer our questions. They answered a few questions but it was mostly an over share of thier life history which took forever.
Other than that last part it was a great experience, it seems like Oscar reads SDN because they fixed a lot of the stuff people complained about. 🙂
Edit: also the interviewers had my AACOMAS application in front of them and it was highlited at the points they wanted to ask me about. Half of the questions were about my application. The other half were why DO, why Trouro,....yada yada

First post 😛. I never received a complete e-mail, but I sent my supplemental in around 09/20 and heard back for an interview 10/18. So, pretty close to 30 days for me. Hope that helps.
The invite was by e-mail, but I had to call and schedule a date.

So I received my acceptance from Touro-NV today in the mail!!
It is my first acceptance so I can officially state the following:
"I'm going to be a motherf*#@ing doctor!!!

874 American Pacific Drive, Henderson, NV 89014
And just park in a spot in the front marked "visitor" and go in the main entrance in the front. You can't miss it, there's a big arch over the doorway. There is a front desk right inside and they will direct you.

Congrats to you too man!!
May I ask, have you received other acceptances and decided that Touro-NV is your top choice?
I really liked the school and it is my first acceptance. I still have several interviews scheduled so I am keeping an open mind, but I could easily see myself there.
Just got an acceptance phone call 😀!!!!!!! Anyone know for sure on the refund policy? I still have a few interviews to go to before I decide.

Congrats!! Strange that you got a phone call and I got a letter.
As far as the refund. It is my understanding that all but 100 of the 2k is refunded if you do not attend because of some Nevada law.
Apparently there were some scams run by vocational schools in Nevada some years back and now there is a law that all but 100 must be refunded.
Now I am not 100% on this, but I am pretty certain.

Medium waitlist...

I am interviewing next Monday in Henderson, and am flying into the Vegas airport. Does anyone know a good way to get to Henderson and back if you aren't renting a car?
I have looked for taxis, but I'm having trouble finding them. A bus or shuttle would be ideal, but I am okay with a taxi as long as I can schedule with them.

Are you staying at a hotel or plan on going to the interview straight from the airport? In either case, there are always taxi's lined up at hotels AND the airport waiting for people. Unfortunately, it's about $40 from the strip to the school in Henderson. Public transportation isn't that great around here either. Maybe one of the locals can respond regarding that. Otherwise, you should be fine just getting a cab from the hotel or the airport without scheduling with them in advance.

Vegas is a big city with plenty of cabs, so there are plenty of services to call. Just schedule a pick up time, but maybe you can befriend a fellow interviewee to drive you back. It was expensive for a cab and the buses in Henderson are meh. Not all cabs accept credit cards, so have cash or confirm that your cab does have it.
