Just got an invitation to interview on 11/4!!! This is my top choice school and 3rd year applying. I am in shock and so ecstatic 😭

Applied 7/20, confirmation & under review 8/19, invitation today 9/15.

Good luck to all still waiting - there are many months of interviews ahead for this program, so don't get discouraged! Last year they continued interviewing all the way through April. 💖

Congrats! I also got an interview invite for the same day today! Touro is also my top choice school, so I am both excited and extremely nervous!

I applied 5/28, received my confirmation 7/1, was initially rejected 7/14, had my application re-reviewed and was offered an interview today 9/15. Good luck to everyone who was offered an interview and to those still waiting to hear back!

Would anyone who has an upcoming interview mind sharing their stats and when they applied?

34/F

3rd time applicant

cGPA 3.09

sGPA 3.66

Last 60 units 3.78

PCE ~4,000 hours as MA & Scribe (less if you don’t count scribing)

HCE ~1,000 hours 

Volunteering ~800 hours

PA shadowing 44 hours

GRE 314, 5.0 (though I don’t think they look at it)

LOR from PA, 2 MDs, & director of volunteer clinic 

 

Some of their feedback from previous years was I didn’t have enough hands-on experience & science coursework compared to other applicants, so the past year I got a new more hands-on job & took more science classes. Also changed 2 of my LOR. Relentless forward progress is key!

Also changed 2 of my LOR. Relentless forward progress is key!

Thank you for your feedback, your stats are impressive! Good luck with your interview!!!

Does anyone possibly know why some apps that were submitted earlier took a longer time to upload into Touro's system. I'm seeing some posts that people who submitted 7/20 got their upload/completion email on the 26, but others that applied in June, didn't get their uploaded/completion email till months later.

Thanks in advance! And congrats to everyone that got an interview!

I’m not sure, but this was the case in the past 2 years I applied to them as well and it didn’t seem to have much bearing on whether folks got offered interviews/acceptances in the end. Last year I recall quite a few people got ruffled because some apps seemed to be reviewed out of chronological order, but ultimately the people the school wanted to interview got interviewed. So I wouldn’t put too much weight on it. 

I feel like a Touro elder by now, lol. Hope this helps.

Yay so happy for you! We seemed to apply to a lot of the same schools both this year and last year so I see your name a lot. Good luck!!

With all the interviews pouring in, is it too late to apply? 

They operate on a rolling admission basis and said they take people from each time they conduct interviews. I think you could still apply. I know they are still taking applications  through the end of this month and have more interview dates to come if they follow previous timelines.

I applied 6/18 and received a confirmation from Touro that my file is "complete and eligible for committee review" on 8/18. Is it not looking too great if I haven't heard anything thus far? Hoping the later application deadline for this program might mean I could still be in the running.. 🤞

Last year they sent interview invites sporadically all the way through fall and winter, even into March. Their interview process is really stretched out. Hang in there!
