Ahh wait listed. I didn't feel like my interview was that strong though. At least it's not a rejection!
I got waitlisted too lolAhh wait listed. I didn't feel like my interview was that strong though. At least it's not a rejection!
Were you guys from the AM or PM group?
I have an interview on December 5th. I was happy about it, now I'm wondering if it is two late for an actual spot...
That should be fine. Still early in the cycle. Anyone who got accepted yesterday unable to register for their Touro One account?
I had an issue. I emailed the help peoplz and they fixed it up licketty split. Believe me they want that 2 grand just as much as you want to solidify your spot.
Has anyone payed the deposit yet and wouldn't mind explaining to me the reasons why they are picking the school? I have a couple days left to pay the deposit and am pretty sure I am going to do it but any reasons why you are picking the school might make feel better about forking over the 2k. Thanks!
I just paid it yesterday, I don't know about you but I had a pretty good experience on interview day. The students seemed to really enjoy the program thus far. There seems to be plenty of faculty support. I also really enjoyed the area being from a suburb of a major city myself it felt like home, lots of retail close by and things to do. Touro is pretty well established name across the country and for the time being TUNCOM is only med school in the area so I think that will provide quality rotation opportunities.... I also like the idea of being able to stay put for 3rd year and maybe shipping out somewhere 4th year.... the facilities weren't all the great but sounds like they are growing, plus I love basketball and will definitely play against TUCOM lol
I don't know about you but I really want to be a doc and this being my only acceptance thus far the 2k was worth the solidified spot while I wait to hear from other programs in the long run 2k won't be much although it does hurt now
How's the TUN curriculum? I heard it's changing, but I haven't really found much from recent threads.
Also, I remember them saying it will be a system based curriculum. The new dean is from Kansas City and he implemented that type of curriculum. I'm pretty sure that's what they said. I could be wrong because all of these interviews start running together lolI'm curious about the specifics of this as well. At the interview day they basically just said in general there are trying to make things much more hands on year 2 and really dial back the lectures. Also, they have the general vs specialty track thing but I can't find any info on the individual tracks.

The professors that interviewed me were awesome. I shadowed a physician who graduated from KCU where the new dean is from and she said he is awesome and she loved the curriculum. They have specialty tracks and very good connections with the local hospitals for rotations. Most curriculums are very similar and not much different unless you go to a school with Problem Based Learning. Also, you can PM me if you wanna know moreWhat made you interested in the school? It seems that there's not too much about the school itself, with respect to the curriculum.
Not a student but what makes you think you'd be able to sell it if they require you to have it? LolCan any current students chime in on the laptop requirement? Are we free to sell it after we receive it? Or do we have to use it for some of the courses?
You will need to use it to take tests. If you have a non-school issued computer and you show up on test day with a macbook with computer issues, you're SOLCan any current students chime in on the laptop requirement?

thoughts on a facebook group?
Hi vlazlo! I recently got accepted to Touro NV and I had a couple questions regarding the school. I was wondering if you could direct message me to answer some of my question! I'll forever be grateful. Thanks!There is a new dean at the school so the program is changing for better. He was from KCUMB-COM. He started February and is implementing a lot of changes. The DO2021 class will have all new curriculum for 1st and second year. The DO20s right now have some of the newer changes but mostly the old curriculum, however they will be under the new curriculum when they are 2nd years. It is going to system based I believe. Don't know all the details but good questions to ask. Also the new Dean is a #s guy and he wants our COMLEX scores up and better residency placement. Las Vegas sucks weather wise but lots of stuff is open 24 hours and you also have the strip to unwind after a test. The school, like I said, seems to be changing for the better and they do want you succeed. You will on your interview date have a chance to talk to 1st and 2nd year students with no staff listening in so ask your questions there and also on the tours if it is a student showing you around.
If I remember how they break down for the day: you have the first part as talks about the school why Touro, meet the Dean etc. Then you have 1/2 of the group go for interviews while the others on tours. Then you switch around. Interviews will be two faculty for I think 20 minutes. Sometimes they like to play bad cop, like why did you not take this course or that course etc, but if you have interviews in the first month it is really yours to throw. After the interview/tour you will all meet back up and the student panel will start and then they serve cheese pizza and soda/water. I was able to fly in the night before and flight out right after my interview with no issues.
I am too! But I might be declining my acceptance as wellJust submitted the deposit! Anyone here from the Halloween afternoon interview?
Just got the interview wait list email
Anyone know how promising this is for a II?
Really hoping for a good outcome!
Have interview coming up in december. Can anyone give some tips and what questions to expect. Greatly appreciate any help .
