Hey there - here’s mine but please don’t get too hung up on stats! Touro considers the whole person. Overall GPA 3.09 Science GPA 3.66 volunteering ~800 hours PCE ~4,000, HCE ~1,000 PA shadowing 44, + a lot of MD shadowing Touro doesn’t consider GRE scores. Mine was 314 tho. Hope everyone had a happy New Year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TouroCaliPA Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Hi everyone, I hope you all are well. Congratulations to those of you who have been accepted. Just an update for everyone, Touro will likely be conducting interviews until March when they have selected their full class. However, waitlist acceptances will be rolling as people continue deciding on their acceptances. So don't be discouraged and wishing you all the best of luck in your PA journey. I will continue checking in periodically to answer questions or provide updates as I receive them. Here are my stats for anyone interested: Age: 26 at the time Undergrad GPA: 3.5 (Psychology, BA) Prior experience before switching to PA: Substitute teaching, After School Program Leader, Mental Health Counseling Healthcare Experience: EMT ~3,400 hours I also worked as an instructor and field training officer, which demonstrated leadership experience Overall Science GPA: 3.58 (I started taking prerequisites shortly after graduating from Undergrad) GRE: 318 PA Shadowing: 18 hours However, the university accepts a wide range of students from varying backgrounds. Do your best to express on your application the experiences and hard work that you've contributed to get this far on your journey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomedayCaliPA Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Has anyone received an invitation to interview since the January 10 e-mail saying their application is still active? I'm hoping to hear something soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The email from January 10th from Office of Admissions noted, "[...] we anticipate that interviews will continue through April and possibly into May." >>> Has that been revised because more acceptances have been given out sooner than expected?

I'll have to follow up on that to double check, but I was recently told that they'll probably have a a full class after interviews in March and will begin looking on the waitlist after that. However, last year we did conduct interviews into May but that was also coupled with delays due to COVID. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onmywaytobeapa Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Has anyone received a denial from Touro? Just curious as I applied in early June 2021 and haven't had any corresponeance in a while! Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sieworld Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 They said it takes about one week to hear back. And i think they mentioned they still have future interviews going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance They just had their final interview on 3/31 so I would say they should start sending out formal “we regret to inform you…” emails in the next couple weeks most likely.
