got this too... I thought they had signed the letters, but I guess not? I think I'm going to email them and hope they can resubmit it quickly.

ugh I texted the doctor I shadowed (had her number) and the message didn't even deliver. When i contacted the admissions office to ask if there are alternatives because I already have the on file with AACOMAS and I am unable to reach the physician, the guy just goes there are no alternatives. :(

Hello. Do any of you know if TouroCOM accepts other courses for behavioral science other than psychology, sociology, and anthropology. I have a course that was assigned as a behavioral science course and do not want to spend $200 to find out that I don't meet the prereq. Thank you.
 
How long did it take you guys to get a complete email? I sent in my secondary and finished the e-app on the 15th :(

EDIT: I got the complete email on 8/21! Keep the faith, peeps!

Submitted mine on 8/9 and got the complete email on 8/12, so you're fine! The app volume has probably just picked up over the past few days.

Hey guys, I submitted my primary July 30 and haven’t received a secondary. Should I contact someone? My stats are higher than any screen I’m assuming.

Hey gatorgood. I submitted around the same time and called them last Thursday. They pretty much told me I just have to wait cause they're still sending out secondaries to those who submitted earlier. Hope this helps.

Thanks bro, appreciate it. I know the school is very competitive due to load of applicants but I have really good stats and am hoping to live in NYC due to family and significant other. Really hoping this school gives me some love, I’m speaking it into existence.

Did anyone have trouble uploading their personal statement document to the secondary website? I think my file might be bigger than the limit but I have no idea how...

Yea that's just simply not true. They already started sending II's out so you could get one any day now!
 
Could any current OMS discuss the general curriculum at this school? (Is pt interaction limited to osces? Whether flipped classrooms are effective, opportunities for research, comlex II resources) One of the reasons I applied is for the urban environment but would love to learn more about the school itself before my actual interview. Thanks!
 
Does anyone know how many students who receive an interview ultimately get accepted? Also how big the incoming class size is and how many people usually apply? Thanks!
 
the $200 for the secondary fee has to be a mistake...that's ridiculous
 
Hello, I am confused on how to list the recommenders? I clicked the "Recommendation" tab and this is what I have when I select recommender list, there is no option to input anything?

Congrats!! I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but did you get an II via an email or through the portal?

I got the invite through an email notification! Didn't have to check the portal.

I think almost everyone gets the secondary as it is a nice extra income for them ($200 per student!). I never heard that they screen heavily for secondaries although I would be happy if someone can prove me wrong!

I"ll prove you wrong. Complete June 24, still no secondary on my end lol
 
For those that interviewed this past Monday and Wednesday, how was your experience?
