I have a 27 MCAT but my BS is 11. I hope that should help. My total sci GPA is a 3.74 and my cum GPA is a 3.81. Although if the only care about undergrad GPA then its a 3.92/3.95
I got a deferred acceptance offer today for 2014 and an invitation to attend orientation next week and hopefully enroll. Anyone else get this offer? supposedly there is one other person that got it from the 2013 cycle. I had know idea that was an option. This seems very promising. I am thrilled at the very least to have a spot for 2014 at the very least!!! Just got a phone call at noon today.
This makes no sense. They gave you a deferred acceptance for 2014? No interview, nothing yet?
He applied last cycle.if you read
Can't find secondary prompts, old or new thread? does anyone have the link?
Hey are you guys pre-writing your secondaries for this school based off last year or waiting for the invite to come out?
yeah I am. That way when they send this year's prompt I can easily tweak a few things (if need be), and send it back to them within minutes. I doubt this year's prompt will be drastically different than last year's. And this is the last secondary I'm writing for osteopathic schools, and then I gotta wait for my AMCAS app to be verified and start those secondaries
Does anyone know when are they going to send out secondaries?? or when they did last year?
yep got this, it's just an errorDid anyone get an email from the Touro Bursar...? I'm very confused why I got this haha, it just says that my electronic billing statement is now available, but they haven't even sent out secondaries..
is touro pass/fail
Got an email from Touro-NY. Looks like they are going to start processing primary apps!
I just got it too - they sure take their time, don't they? I'm complete at all other schools I've applied to (about 30)
Heavy amount of screening at this school. Not sure if I'll qualify for a secondary now.
I have a feeling the MCAT cutoff will be much higher this year.why are you not sure? At worse, it would just be 25mcat, 3.3 cum/sci gpa.

Email today with a timeline. Couple weeks for secondaries.why is this school taking forever to send out secondaries. ughhh

No I was responding to "yes they are supposed to go out this week" question. Ive been checking my email constantly. I think this is the last school besides Liberty to send out secondaries for the cycle. This better be some revolutionary prompt.
Ask me how many times I kept refreshing my mobile email during class today.
Relax guys...I called admissions today and spoke to Shawn and he told me that secondaries go out in alphabetical order starting today. He said "we will click as fast as we can" lol
Good luck to you all.
I'm wondering if they decided to make it electronic now.
So the secondary gets mailed to you? NOT EMAILED?!
the screen is set at 3.0 sgpa, 3.0 cgpa, 24 MCAT with minimum 9 on BS.
how strict is the cutoff? im not sure, but from the feedback others gave in the thread so far, seems as though they may hold it to a very strict cutoff. They do however look at your entire app including personal statement and ECs so it may hold up even if stats are borderline.
also they will be screening all the apps this week going in alphabetical order. So, at the latest, we should know if we meet the requirements for a secondary app by Friday the 13th :O
I got a secondary here today, but Im not sure if I want to pay 200$, thats so much! Are my chances really any better or am I setting myself up for a confirmation of application fee followed by a rejection?
