jkjkjkjk Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 The program website says that the estimated cost for 3 years of tuition/books/living/etc... is around $199,000! Can anybody confirm that this is true? That seems a little outrageous considering there are other PA programs that cost 50,000 for 2 years.

nidaj88 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 For those of you who emailed in your supplemental app, can you please explain to me what they mean by this "email your documents as a single file (not multiple pages" there are multiple pages to the file....I am kinda confused! :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touro is notorious for being pricey. The numbers are disgustingly ridiculous. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nidaj88 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Yes, makes perfect sense...thank you jordanknox21. The payment site doesn't seem to be working for me...will try again later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnavila Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Yes I heard from Touro on October 3rd 2011. Email inviting me to interview with them. They had late october openings but I decided to go for late november to give myself more time to prepare for the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajensen Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Yes, makes perfect sense...thank you jordanknox21. The payment site doesn't seem to be working for me...will try again later. I couldn't pay the fee either, so I contacted Melanie Lim yesterday and she told me just to mail a $50 check payable to Touro University-CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pom1185 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I haven't received a secondary yet. Is anyone else in the same boat? Submitted my caspa in early sept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkjkjkjk Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 For those of you who have submitted or are working on supplemental applications for Touro-CA, I have a question... The instructions for the personal questions (i.e. How do you see yourself using a Masters in Public Health upon graduation?) says to keep your answers for EACH QUESTION to a maximum of 500 words. I just finished answering all 3 questions, and my total word count for all 3 questions is about 600 words. Do I need to expand more on my thoughts? Or is it better to be short, clear, and concise?

dfib slim Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I haven't received a secondary yet. Is anyone else in the same boat? Submitted my caspa in early sept. Don't worry if you haven't received a secondary yet. Those who got interviews were one of the first ones to sent their application out. If you sent it in early Sept you were probably with the bulk of applications and Touro needs to go through them all. I went to the info session and they said everybody who meets the minimum requirements will receive a secondary application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggie2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 hey millo10, what did you tell them when you called to set up a date? Do you get to choose which date or do they give you one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millo10 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Aggie, when I called they gave me a list of available dates, but I chose the first one. I was so excited I immediately booked my flight and room. Aggie when is your interview date? Congratulations and good luck everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggie2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I have been calling, but nobody answers. I left a voicemail so hopefully they get back to me. Otherwise, I will be calling again tomorrow. I doubt I will be able to make it to Oct. 25th interview though b/c I have an exam on the 26th. But will shoot for one in early Nov. do you know what they will ask us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
