is anyone else not hearing a lot from this school? It seems like every other school has been keeping in touch a lot more. Maybe it is just because there have been a lot of holidays?

I think they are pretty slow in terms of processing compared to other schools. For the obvious reason, they screened people before sending out the secondary app invitations. So, this schools takes longer time to hear anything in my opinion. I just faxed the secondary app yesterday and hopefully I hear something from them within a month period...

Ya it definately seems like they are. I mailed mine in at the end of September and haven't heard a thing. Everytime I call they say that they will be e-mailing me soon about if I get an interview. It seems really slow.

I am pretty sure you will hear something soon. Did you apply elsewhere?
 
I'm sure the holidays has something to do with it. We've been having long weekends all month (many of them beginning Wednesday afternoon). I'm sure it's just hard to keep up the pace of other schools that have the same number of applicants but twice the work days!

What kinds of holidays were going on in NV? Because everytime I call TUNCOM admission office, they are closing early on Wednesday this month.
 
all touro schools are tied to the jewish faith and they respect certain jewish holidays. i think there were quite a few holidays this month
 
How long did everyone wait for the secondary, and how long did you wait until you heard back for interviews? I'd love to be able to check this school out but the timing is killing me.

It took me 3 weeks to get a secondary app invitation. I am currently waiting for the interview invite. But, I will say it will take at least a month to hear anything back from them for the decision regarding the interview.

hey guys. i interviewed here on 9/23 and found out last wed that i got put on the high-wait list. if you call the school and talk to taylor, he will tell you what your status is. i called this morning to get feedback and they said that he is out of office and will get back on Friday so you might not be able to reach him until then. the decisions came out last wednesday (the day I called), but he didn't tell me when they were going out.

overall, i'm a bit purturbed as to why i'm on the waitlist. i thought my interview went very well. nonetheless, i am not too worried though. i'm withdrawing my name because i've already been admitted to western. good luck to everyone ! PM me if you have any questions. i'd be more than happy to help!
 
Someone who interviewed here mentioned that they were grilled the entire time about the weaknesses in their application. Was this anyone else's experience?

I don't think my interview was anything like that (09/23)... the interviewers were really pleasant, down-to-earth --- pretty sure that was the general consensus.

Got a call today with an interview invite for Monday. Guess there was a cancellation. I turned it down, but maybe somebody could jump on that. 🙂

Ok, thanks! I guess I can prepare for the worst but hope for the best!

I just got off the phone with Taylor and......ACCEPTED!! He said the letters went out Wed. So if you haven't got your letter and cant stand it give him a call.

OK. So I am a current Touro student and have had conversations with several faculty about this. Some of the faculty are more intense and direct than others (that is just life). Some faculty want to personally push you and put you under pressure to see how you handle it because they believe it is an important skill to be able to stand strong amidst criticism and still present yourself with competence. Others are so laid back that they could not be intimidating if they tried. You just need to be prepared for all scenarios and keep your cool regardless.

Congrats 🙂
 
I received an interview invite today and scheduled for the 30th, but I will be withdrawing because it will end up costing too much to attend, and I already have been accepted somewhere higher on my list.
 
Just received an interview invite today, super excited! I'd love to go to school here.
 
I received an email saying they had received my secondary application and it could take up to 30 days to hear anything else from them. Is this a complete email or will I receive a complete email within 30 days?

I think they meant it will take another month to make your file completed. They are very slow in terms of processing...compared to other school. I recently received email from them that my supplemental app has been received and it will take a month to process and complete the file.
 
I got an invite to this school!! However, I also got several other invites and am from not-so-close-by (I'll have to fly in to Las Vegas) so I'm worried about expenses since I'm already paying for several flights as it is. I got in to one school already, so I won't be risking it by not accepting the interview, BUT I've heard good things about this school - I think along the lines of the faculty. What do you guys like about this school that made you either apply here or choose this school for your studies?
 
dang it, got high waitlisted. Anyone know the chances of getting in off the high waitlist?
 
I think you have a good shot, I remember someone last year got in off the wait-list and they were on the medium wait-list a week or so before school started. they must have gone through almost all of the high wait-list first. Probably would be good for you to send updates throughout the year and letter of intents/interest if this is one of your top choices. Best of luck to you!

Accepted, interview 9/23, already made my deposit!
Anyone else going here for sure?
 
Thanks to whoever canceled their Nov. 14th interview as I just got the invite.

If you are in the morning group then yes you will. Are you a local or are you flying in?

On another note, would those who interviewed like to share their experiences? Namely the interview/interview questions.

Guess not then, I'm afternoon and driving in. Good luck.
 
How did the rest of you handle the hand-written secondary app? trying to write in my responsibilities for my job and volunteer experiences is very hard...writing very small and I even used the space below it to continue an entry. Is this bad form?
 
I had the same problem with no room for my job/volunteer experiences. I made a similar table in a word document with larger boxes for more room and printed it. I still filled it out by hand and included it in my application and wrote "see attached sheet" in the section on the application. I got an interview for Nov. 14 so it must have been ok.
 
hey, i'm interviewing on Nov 14 in the afternoon. Anyone else joining me on that special day??
 
Just ran out to the mailbox...... AAAANNNNNNNDDDDDDD... no news 🙁 Bet they just mailed them out today... I hate waiting :xf:
