GAgirl22 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Does any one happen to know the stats regarding GRE and GPA averages for the past classes? I could not find it on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timon Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Call them and they'll tell you over the phone. If I recall correctly it was a 3.1 overall and 3.3 sGPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svasan1 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I don't think Touro requires the GRE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAgirl22 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Thanks to both of you! Has anyone received an invite to an interview yet? Just curious since my CASPA was just mailed last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svasan1 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I got an email confirming my CASPA had been received on Aug 13 and saying they would contact me in 2-3 weeks after they review my app and seeing if I am eligible for a supplemental application. Haven't heard from them after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gblanch Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hey guys, I'm a current student at Touro Univerisity. There is no GRE required but I have a few stats for you. Last year there were 990 applicants, 160 interviewed, and 56 were accepted. The average Science GPA 3.24, the average cumulative GPA 3.29. The average age of our class is 28 and is made up of 61% females and 39% males. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmai.huynh Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hi gblanch!I recently got invited to interview at Touro, do you have any tips or advice on how to prepare myself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflandez Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Same here! Any tips/advice would be helpful :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gblanch Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Well as far as advise goes it's pretty much the same for wherever you go. Be prepared to answer the basic questions as to why you want to be a PA, Why not DO, MD, or NP, why you would choose Touro. Be preprepared to answer questions about your application. They like to ask questions about your shadowing experiences and patient contact experience. If you have a lower GPA be prepared to explain to them how you plan on dealing with the rigors of PA school when you might have struggled in core science classes during your undergrad. The faculty is very nice, the students are nice, and out of all the places I interviewed I enjoyed this school the most. Be confident in yourself and ask them a question or 2 at the end of your interview. You guys will all do fine. Any other questions feel free to ask. I'll try to check the forum every once in a while when I have time. P.S. A good place to stay for interviews is sunset station. Its cheap and close to campus.
