I received secondary after 8 days (it was during the school holiday). Have you checked your spam folder?

I've been checking my spam folder, and it hasn't shown up there. I only received one email the day after I submitted the primary that was really garbled with a ton of "Â Â Â Â Â Â Â" characters, information telling me that they'd send a secondary invite later, and no link to any secondary application. After that, no more emails.

I was going to send you the email I received from the school after submitting AACOMAS but I can't send you direct message.
 
I just got an email that linked me directly to the secondary.

You can call them up and ask. However, they do accept two science letters and a DO/MD letter in lieu of the committee letter.

Embarrassingly, yes cause I am shocked I got an interview with my crappy scores. So was curious if it was just a fluke!

Stats don't describe the entire picture of your application. People can have lower stats, but have a strong narrative and story behind them that pushes them to the front for an II. There's a reason why the WAMC threads ask for EC's, and other aspects besides stats, because they also play a significant role in the admissions process. Plenty of 4.0/520+ applicants have to re-apply because they have nothing else that makes them unique besides their stats.

Of course! Never doubt your self-worth. If the admissions committee deemed you worthy of an interview, you certainly deserve to be there as much as any other person does. :)

Also, thank you!! Haha, I’m sure most of us vibe with that quote lol.

I honestly think that ONE of the reasons why I was interviewed early was because I paid the hefty secondary fee ($200). I know that a lot of prospective students don't agree with that price, which is why they don't end up applying to TouroCOM. My stats were not great (EC's are slightly better than average pre-med), so I was shocked that I got an interview early.

You’re selling yourself short. Every applicant that would be eligible to interview paid the $200 fee. It was other things about your application that earned you the interview.

I’m guessing now is a busier season though so I’ll have to wait longer, right?

I called yesterday and spoke with the director of admissions. They said that now is pretty slow because of the holiday season. Nothing much is happening.

As in they’re not looking at as many applications at the moment?

Anyone have trouble submitting their archived AP scores? I'm suprised Touro NY wants these scores when they're on my transcript.

Yes...do you know what their college code is? Did you request for the scores to be sent directly to Touro or to your house and you'll scan + send to Touro?

There's no code - you have to email or mail it. If your AP scores have been archived like mine, you'll need to fax to college board a request to release your AP scores. The processing takes a long time so you'll have to wait a few weeks. On the request form, you need to write the address of admissions so that a copy of your scores can be mailed there. If your scores have not been archived, then I think you can take a screenshot of the scores from your college board account and email it to admissions.
