AspPed Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Beyond ecstatic to have received an interview invite from Touro! For those of you who feel like you may not be the most impressive applicant on paper, I empathize with that feeling & truly believe that the program reviews applicants holistically. There is much more to every individual than merely GPA Hope to meet some of you during the 10/15, PM sesh! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wore professional top and bottoms in the off chance we had to stand up. I wore slippers and had a blanket on my lap as well though so I was still comfortable.

wiesem Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 My interview is tomorrow and I'm pretty nervous, any last minute advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raltrich Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 So after looking at the schedule for the interview process, I can see it's a MMI format. But from everything I understand of a MMI isn't that supposed to be stationed based? I guess my question is for those that have interviewed already what was that like? Obviously if you're allowed to tell me. Cause I'm reading the how to ace a PA interview book and the MMI portion seems intense and idk how it would work on Zoom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CacioppoA95 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 @Raltrich, I will be interviewing on 10/21 at 1:00 PM. I have had a few other interviews this cycle and two of them have been MMI's. To speak a bit on the zoom platform, it feels a lot different than doing it in-person. It is very difficult to stand-out and display your personality, so if I had any advice it would be to ensure you feel comfortable in front of a webcam and to be familiar with zoom prior to the interview. Lighting and sound are two key factors that can help improve your presence over zoom Most programs utilize breakout rooms and will more often than not do all the maneuvering themselves, so it shouldn't be too difficult to follow. In my experience I have had both multiple staff members and, on occasion, multiple applicants in the same breakout room with me. I would be prepared for both and consider some ways to allow others time, while making room for yourself as well (again, difficult to do over zoom). It is definitely more difficult than being in person but the programs do a good job of sticking to the schedule and allowing time technical difficulties. Overall I had very good experiences that were easy to follow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HoneyBadger555 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Hey all - I interviewed in August and am passed the 8 week mark. I’m wondering if anyone has called the program to check on their status. Good idea? Bad idea? I don’t want to be pushy but I also need to plan my life and Touro is one of my top choices. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVgrl Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Hey all, thanks for your replies. Glad to know I'm not the only one who's waiting....although it seems there are quite a few of us in a tough situation. I think they specifically told us that they cannot respond to questions about our status, so I haven't tried calling or emailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! Hi! I interviewed yesterday 10/21, and Dr. Tobin and Marsha let us know that we were the last interview group. For us, they mentioned decisions are typically released within 6-8 weeks but will likely be shorter since we were the last interview group. It sounds like they're wrapping up and final decisions will be out soon. I'm thinking we'll hear by early to mid-November based off of last year's timeline. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! I emailed them about the 8 week deadlines they've set for themselves. She will just respond to your email saying to wait a few weeks longer.

It honestly feels that way to me unless a lot of accepted applicants rescind and they host another day, which I doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannahkris Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Does anyone know if there were disadvantages to interviewing later? Mine was 10/15, and still waiting.. Thinking they'll probably get back by mid-late November as said before, but just getting very nervous spots are filling up. This is my top choice and felt my interview went well, so hoping for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
