Can anyone provide advice for the interview? Would be much appreciated.

Prepare for the typical questions- why Touro? Why DO? But prepare for some challenging big picture questions as well. They looked at my application/background and tailored some of the questions about my experiences and opinions- make sure you know your application well. I also think it helps to have some questions ready for them because this kept the convo flowing and also I was able to get some really good insights about the school from their answers. Overall, they were really nice and pleasant so try not to stress too much!

Mine lasted exactly 30 mins with my questions at the end(I think I asked 2). It went by very quickly and was conversational. Don’t sweat it too much. Have you had any other interviews? I was super nervous for my first one but it really was no big deal. Just be yourself and be honest!

Interviewed 1/28, very interesting to say the least lol. Couldn't really read my interviewers, potentially bombed. If anyone wants to debrief or have any questions let me know!

Can you elaborate a little bit on your experience? I tried to message you but your profile is private!
 
Anyone know if there are any accepted student groups? Housing looks expensive and I wanted to get some advice on how to survive the first year!

I was wondering if we should create some type of group that any new accepted student could join, this potentially could become a way to find a roommate, what do you guys think?

SGA will be coming out with a Facebook page for the class of 2025 to join. Last year they released it around this time.

How long after the waitlist, do you think we'll hear back?

Also should I send an update/letter of intent like a month after WL or sooner?

I think WL movement will probs happen in April/May after they finish interviewing everyone. I’m thinking of sending an update soon!
 
Were there interviews on 12/21, 12/28, and 1/4? My partner interviewed on 1/11, not sure when we should expect to hear back

Housing is expensive in the area but If you have a car look at the surrounding area. I am signing on a 4 bd. 2 ba. house in Monroe and will just commute 20 minutes to school. After calculating costs, I will save a huge chunk o’ change during my 4 years.

Yo, thank you for letting us know about this! Will send them the request to those pages.
 
Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well. I applied back in September but have yet to hear back. My stats are 502 MCAT, 3.5 CGPA, 3.4 SGPA with tons of research experience in IVY league schools (1 major first author publication and 3 minor publications) and lot of other EC experiences. Do you think I will be able to get an interview and if so, what do you think my chances are now as its February and pretty late in the cycle? Thanks!!

I applied here very very late. Does anyone know how far along they are in they cycle, ie; is their class full? If I get an interview - would it only be for WL?

Thanks in advance!

According to Frank, they had sent out 250/500 interview invites as of mid January. The class wasn’t full either.

Hey, anyone know if there are any spots left in the class? Any hope for an interview at this time?
 
Hi everyone, just coming here to say that I was able to be added to the housing group on facebook, I sent sga an email with my acceptance email and they added me to the group, there is a list under documents where we can sign up to find roommates
 
Hate to be “that guy” but do we know when or how we get those pataguccis? I can’t even find an online bookstore.
