sparrowandjack Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Touro is my first choice, but I was placed on the high alternate list back on November and haven't heard anything since. They said they would be in contact with us late April / early May, but last year people were pulled from the waitlist as early as March. Has anyone been notified of status changes yet?

futrpa1 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Per Naisha, there is one more interview date on 4/16. So it should be early-mid May that those on the waitlist will know more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patachok Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 There is another interview... apparently May 7th. I received an email inviting for the next interview, but planning on kindly declining it. Will be starting school in Chicago! :) Good luck for those waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larislow Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hi! Just wondering for those on the wait list, did you submit additional materials, and if so may I ask what? When did you submit? Have you received any updates since then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

so_angelic91 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hello, larislow and sparrowandjack. I am in the same boat :/ I, too, am on the high alternate waitlist. Touro is my top choice as well. I am getting worried bc like you mention, sparrowandjack, we were supposed to be notified march/april and possibly early May. When I attended the October interview session, I was under the impression that there were only going to be a couple more interviews in November and December and that was it. Then I read on here that people are being invited for interviews in May, too? That's pretty crazy and worries me. How many seats are available, again? Do either of you know? Also, in regards to what we submit post interviews, I have submitted additional letters of recommendation, so far. This whole process is very frustrating and nerve-wracking. Good luck to all of you. I hope all of us get pulled off the waitlist and get to attend class together :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrowandjack Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Larislow, after my interview I submitted additional transcripts from courses that I took since my CASPA application was submitted, an additional letter of recommendation, and updated patient care hours. If I remember correctly they said that they have either 43 or 44 spots to offer this year. Unfortunately I do not know how many spots they have left, but I am getting anxious about it since 40-some spots is not very many. I am only guessing, but I would think they would notify the candidates who interviewed last week their status and then they would notify those on the waitlist. Does anyone know how the large the waitlist is or has been in the past? I hope we all hear good news soon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
so_angelic91 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hello Sparrowandjack, I was looking through previous threads from the prior class and noticed that the class sizes went up to around 50-55. I am hoping for the same turn-around this year. I could be mistaken though, so we will see. I sent 3 additional letters of recommendation and I am in the process of sending an updated form of patient care hours, soon. I have been calling to speak to Naisha but they always tell me that she is not in her office. I'm assuming that she is there but will not answer any phone calls due to the influx of calls she probably gets on a daily basis. They told me that any questions regarding status, should be addressed via email. So, that is what I have been doing since my interview in October. It is very frustrating waiting, but I am hoping that all this waiting will turn positively in our favor. Good luck to all who are waiting anxiously and patiently to be accepted. I hope we all get our chance. By the way, sparrowandjack, I too am on the "High Alternate Wait list" and from what Mrs. Bible told me (which was the first and last time i was able to speak with her via phone), was that not a lot of people are placed on the "High" Wait list and that we shouldn't worry so much because accepted students usually decline invitations as they hear back from other schools. So, hopefully this works in our favor :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almbyers Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hey Guys, I was in the May 7th interview group and just found out I am waitlisted. Do you guys know if there is anyone else we can talk to about this other than Naisha? When I was there for the interview, one of the faculty members said to call and see how far down you are on the list, but when I spoke with her she wasn't very helpful and said she couldn't tell me anything. Any thoguhts? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
so_angelic91 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hello almbyers. It should have been listed on the mail they sent you, whether you are on the high or low waitlist. If there is no specification then you may fall in between. I guess just call again and ask anyone who answers you. Let them know that you need more information and that naisha isn't very helpful. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avil0017 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I was on the high alternate list and was offered a seat two days ago, July 8th! Hoping others on the waitlist will join me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larislow Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Congratulations avil0017! May I ask what additional materials you submitted and if you had contacted/spoken directly to anyone on the admissions committee? How can we ask for direct feedback so we can address these weak areas when submitting additional materials? Do you know of any others who were taken off the list?
