femmefatale Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Got my application verified on May 6th and TUN is my #1 choice for school! Figured I'd start a thread for all those other hopefuls out there :) Has anyone received anything to fill out a supplemental? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastudentw Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I was verified 5/10 and got my supp app pretty quickly after that. This is my first choice school as well! My sister graduated from this program six years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akt10c Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Hi guys! If you have any questions during the application process at all whatsoever, please don't hesitate to contact the TUN Admissions department. Make sure to go like them on facebook as well to keep up with deadlines, reminders, etc... :) https://www.facebook.com/Touro-University-Nevada-Admissions-828228733952685/?fref=ts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneloverach Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Just put in my primary yesterday! I am hoping this time around I will hear something. I applied for the first time last year but it was about 2 weeks before the deadline and was told they had already filled up after I paid the application fee! Good luck to everyone!

oneloverach Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Super excited, CASPA app was verified yesterday morning and I recieved the supplemental today! Any advice on how to complete the supplemental? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucmed Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Just be yourself. I interviewed at multiple schools including Loma Linda and I have to say that Touro Nevada was one of the most relaxed interviews I did. the Interview day isn't so much about asking you questions and multiple interview sessions like other schools ( Loma Linda for example ) but more about showing you what the school has to offer and what a PA student life would be on campus. Michael Wilson ( admission ) is one of the most helpful people I have ever met . every staff and student we met on the day of interview was extremely humble and willing to help. Great school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great school I agree with this assessment. I'm starting as well, and I felt the interview was way more about presenting the school and letting you decide if it was the place for you or not. They have your applications and have a good idea of who you are. I think unless you present glaring problems in the interview or phenomenally unique strengths, then the interview is more just a way to see if you and the mission and goals of the program are a good fit. Good luck to all. I look forward to the time when you are all accepted to a school somewhere and can look on this time with fond memories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneloverach Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 thanks for the responses guys! I finished the supplemental, submitted it last night. I got an email stating they received it and will keep in contact. I have a couple questions: 1.) how long after the supp. did you guys receive an invite to interview? 2.) there was a part on the supp. about your recommendations submitted the LOR again directly to Touro, is this correct?

pastudentw Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 @oneloverach- I had that same thought initially in regards to your second point. When I was doing my supplemental I looked back in the instruction email and it says "do not submit additional letters of recommendation if you have already submitted them via CASPA."

oneloverach Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 @rissawalker, thanks! I figured the same thing when I read that but I still input their info, same as on CASPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

femmefatale Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 I took a tour of the school yesterday and asked Michael when they would be letting people know if they were selected for an interview, and he said they've chosen 26 applicants for the first wave of interviews and would be letting them know today. I'm honored to say I received an invitation this morning!! Good luck to all the other applicants and check your emails! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pastudentw Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Thank you! I'm super stoked since this is one of my first choice programs. I'm flying from Utah and have family to stay with so that will help me to be less nervous I think. Any advice regarding the interview? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!

pastudentw Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Congrats on your interview! When did you submit your supplemental? I was CASPA verified 5/10, got my supplemental on 5/11 and turned it in that day. I got verification of a complete application and under review on 5/19. That's kind if been the timeline for me.
