None! There were no difficult questions, just a conversation to get to know me.
-
Basic science question about immunology. I think I was asked because I said I did well in immunology. I'm sure 99% of applicants do not get asked.
-
What will you do if you don't get into medical school this year?
-
Questions about certain grades in classes, MCAT score, application, etc.
-
Why Las Vegas?
-
questons about OMM (one interviewer was an OMM professor; regarding healthcare in 10 years; how will i pay of my loans now that being a physician isn't as lucrative.
-
None. All were standard questions like the ones posted on SDN
-
Explain the holistic aspects of osteopathic medicine.
-
Why doctor? I just have difficulty putting this into words.
-
Nothing. I did most of the talking and they only asked me 4 questions.
-
See above....this was my first interview and they knew that, I feel like they put me on the spot
-
why do you have a low verbal score? I did not like this because they went on about the verbal score as if i was a dumb
-
You went from Community college X to University during your post-bach. Why did you do this?
-
Based on your volunteer experience, how can you be so sure that you want to practice medicine? (The interviewer felt I didn't have enough clinical volunteer work)
-
None.
-
How did I know I could handle rigors of medical school, especially with my lower MCAT scores (it was hard only because the interviewer was convinced that all students don't know what they're in for before school).
-
nothing! maybe...Have you taken anatomy yet? I haven't taken it yet, so the lady talked for 15 minutes about how I should take it before going to med school. She was nice :)
-
People usually talk about why they want to be DOs, whole-body approach, preventative emphasis, etc...What do you think are the drawbacks of DOs?
-
If I can handle a lifestyle change from working to full-time school?
-
the question about me not having taken biochemistry yet
-
Biggest problem in medicine today- how would you fix it?
-
What was the saddest moment in your life?
-
The two faculty that interviewed me did not ask any questions but just lectured about how medical school is difficult and how they expect their students to have gotten X grades in Y classes. The interviewers had not read my application and spent 5 min of my interview time browsing through it and highlighting things. Also my interview was late starting, understandable as I was one of the last to go, but it was also cut extremely short because one of the faculty interviewing me had to go teach a class. This was not what I would call
-
If you wanted to be a doctor all your life, why didn't you care more about your grades?
-
Have you ever thought of becoming a PA?
-
same as interesting
-
Why DO? Asked by two OMM faculty :)
-
"I notice you haven't taken any medical school level courses yet" (even though I've taken all required pre-med courses, and I thought we go to medical school to take med school level courses?)"do you think you can handle the medical school curriculum?"
-
How would I solve the problems in healthcare if I were all powerful?
-
What is the most pressing issue in healthcare presently? - I talked about the uninsured and the need for rural doctors.
-
same.
-
Nothing was difficult, it was just a conversation. He only asked me 3 questions the whole time. Otherwise we just had a conversation and naturally went from one topic to another.
-
None. Just be yourself and be honest.
-
In an interview there are no difficult questions.. As a pre-med one should be prepared to answer any question except this one, "if the moon were made out of ribs, would you eat it?".
-
Are you happy with your m-cat score.
-
---
-
what are your weaknesses ( i was prepared for this question, but i always have difficulty answering it!)
-
None were all that difficult, but the interview was BORING. I mean, I was IN IT and I was bored. No unique questions at all. I did what I could to make it interesting but...meh. Plus one guy was late, so some of my interview time was spent tracking him down. Disappointing overall - I was hoping I would really like this school, and I didn't.
-
what is up with your gpa? lol.
-
They asked me to rate the current healthcare system in this country and justify my answer. When I rated it not super high, I was challenged a bit on what I thought should be done to fix it.
-
None. They were all like every other interview.
-
If we had only one available spot right now, what would you tell me to convince me of taking you over the others?
-
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? (difficult because I told them that since my wife is sacrificing her career for me right now that I would follow her to whatever Ivy League grad. school she wanted to go to, and the interviewers mentioned that there weren't any in Nevada. They didn't seem thrilled that I said I might leave Nevada after residency.
-
None-it was a nice conversation.
-
How does my English major help me in the field of medicine?
-
If you were offered a place in the class today, would you take it? (Regardless of where else you may have acceptances/interviews)
-
Why did you get a C in (a college class)?
-
Rank the overall healthcare system in America, explain your ranking, explain what you could do to help raise that ranking
-
Nothing difficult.
-
None really, they were very laid back and standard questions.
-
Very specific Q's from my application, I was ready for "DO" Q's, and the question seemed to come out of left field... it took me a minute to get on the right mental track.
-
The interview was more of a conversation rather than question and answer, so I would have to say nothing to difficult.
-
Nothing unexpected.
-
None really
-
None really. I was prepared for most, and the one's I wasn't prepared for, they weren't hard.
-
What I can offer
-
What is the most important issue affecting health care today?
-
why a DO?
-
No difficult questions.
-
See above.
-
Why should we accept you?
-
There are 10 available seats for this year's class, and you are one of 25 possible candidates. Why should we choose you?
-
A what would you do question regarding a hypothetical scenario with socialized medicine.
-
Your father is an MD; why do you want to go to a DO school? --while this question isn't really hard I was nervous so that made it harder to answer.
-
see above
-
Do you think that you're ready to make this transition to medical school, straight out of college?
-
I see that you volunteered. What experience whoile you were volunteering makes you NOT want to be a doctor? (Is there really a good answer for this??)
-
Really nothing I wasn't expecting
-
Why Touro?
-
Health care related question.
-
Why D.O.? The reason I felt it was the most difficult is because I didn't want to give the generic "The Person as a Whole" answer.
-
Introduce yourself, and tell me about yourself.
-
pretty general questions
-
What is the hardest issue facing physicians today?
-
What is the one of the major problems with healthcare in CA. and what are some possible solutions to fix them?
-
Why did you get this grade in this class (she was referring to a class i took my freshman year)..then she tried insulting me by saying that there were a lot bad grades in my transcript (just trying to intimidate me to see how I would react)
-
What makes you stand out from the other applicants? Personally,this was difficult for me because I worried about fumbling words and appearing cocky, and I didn't want to mislead my interviewers. Other than that, no questions were difficult at all.
-
What is your weakest part of your application?
-
Did you apply to TOUR0-MI? How will you decide between us?
-
Explain your Minor in Possession of Alcohol Ticket and what you learned from it? (Not too difficult since I tell the truth about what happened)
-
Nothing really.
-
What is the biggest problem in health care today, and what would you do to fix it?
-
Why such a low GPA?

What was a moment in my life that i felt very sucessfull or very proud of myself and why?

What impressed you positively?
Applicants were overwhelmingly impressed by the friendliness, enthusiasm, and supportiveness of the students, faculty, and staff at the school. They appreciated the welcoming atmosphere, open-door policy of the faculty, and the sense of community among the student body. Additionally, the modern facilities, high-tech labs, and opportunities for clinical rotations in the surrounding area were highlighted as positive aspects that left a strong impression.
-
I liked the group photo activity.
-
nice campus
-
Faculty was really nice, Gilliar is a hoot!
-
Nothing.
-
The school itself is very nice and I loved the area. Dean was very welcoming smart and funny
-
My interviewer was very kind and professional.
-
Ultrasounds for students
-
The faculty interviewers were very pleasant
-
lots of OSCE rooms, open-door policy
-
Just the informational session.
-
pre-clinical curriculum is very robust, emphasis on student feedback, #1 comlex level 1 pass rate. Henderson is a great city to live in
-
The friendliness of Dr. Gilliar (Dean) and Dr. Meeks (Vice Dean).
-
The environment, up until the interview, was very welcoming and everyone was very nice. Facilities were nice because they were recently upgraded.
-
Uhmmmm how cheap it was to fly into Vegas...that's about it tbh. And the lady who led the interview day was very nice, talkative, and personable...but also a member of the admissions committee which was kinda BS.
-
INTERVIEW DAY WAS VERY WELL ORGANIZED
-
very welcoming staff and students
-
The curriculum the are implementing.
-
How dedicated the school is to helping students. Positive changes happen all the time.
-
Great match list, rotations are all local, early clinical exposure, students seemed happy
-
Everyone was very inviting and they did their best to provide a comfortable and calming atmosphere!
-
Everyone at school was extremely friendly
-
Smaller class size for a DO school. Great anatomy lab with small student to cadaver ratio.
-
Friendliness of faculty
-
The studentbody seemed very tight knit and the anatomy and OMM labs were very cool. They have great tech there. Oh, and all of the rotations stay in the area.
-
You can spend all four years in Vegas if you like, plus Valley Medical center has a bunch of AOA residency spots as well.
-
The inside of the institution is really nice and new (and air conditioned!), don't let the outside fool you. The admissions staff was also extremely supportive, realistic, and even hilarious at times. The facilities are great. I felt really comfortable here. And, the admissions deposit (2000) is 90% refundable!
-
Faculty seems genuinely interested in providing students w/a good education. Students seem happy. Rotations are awesome. NV is a wonderful place to live.
-
they were able to fit A LOTTTT in a tiny space they have. Much nicer and better school than the way ppl talk about here on sdn.
-
The campus is really not as described on SDN. It really feels like a university and looks like one. Also, indoor baskball gym on site!!!!!
-
Friendliness of the faculty and staff - they make you feel right at home. Located 10-15 minutes away from the Strip.
-
The admissions staff and interviewers was amazingly friendly and honestly wanted to get to know who you are.
-
large anatomy lab, very chill and friendly students, rotations within 15 minutes of school.
-
thorough and organized interview day
-
The location of the school, the atmosphere of the school, the enthusiasm of the administrators, and a passionate new director of admissions. The open-door policy is a great resource for students to get to know the professors. High COMPLEX first time pass rate (~94% last year). Great anatomy and OMM lab. The dean of the college of osteopathic medicine, who was awarded physician of the year in 2008 in Nevada. He practices medicine, teaches class, acting dean of the college, and still has time for office hours.
-
Good labs and happy students. The professors seemed interested in the students success. The residency placement was pretty good.
-
The facilities were really nice and every person I spoke to was enthusiastic and very welcoming. All of the students seemed to really like being there.
-
The students seemed pretty happy to be there. The clubs are apparently active and do a lot of stuff, including service work and Spanish training. The building is actually pretty nice once you get inside, and they've got lots of room to grow (they're only using about half of it).
-
How the staff was extremely caring and helpful. I became ill with the flu the night before my interview and I was extremely sick while I was on campus. They made sure I knew at all times where the restrooms were and took awesome care of me that day.
-
The school seems to be located in a quaint town outside of Las Vegas that is very similar to your typical suburbia. It has great facilities and faculty that seems to not only care about the students' education, but listens to suggestions from students as well.
-
OMM and anatomy lab, open door policy, friendliness.
-
EVERYTHING! The students seem REALLY happy. Great facilities. The indoor bball/volleyball court and gym. How helpful faculty and staff are. This is my NUMBER ONE CHOICE!
-
Most everything! The students seemed very happy to be there. Open-door policy for all faculty. VERY nice anatomy and OMM rooms. They seem receptive to student input in making the education great and the overall experience enjoyable for the students here.
-
the facilities on the inside like the cadaver lab and OMM room, friendliness and general happiness of the students, how organized the interview day was, open door policy of faculty, quality of instructors
-
School has a sense of direction and knows where it wants to go
-
State of the art laboratories and OSCI area, plenty of study space.
-
I liked that fact that the average age of the starting class was almost 28 years old. Seems like the admit older students because of the location to the strip.
-
The anatomy lab is awesome. Overall, the facilities are nice once you are inside. They try to implement the things that students want. It has got some good clinical sites surrounding them. It is nice that you can stay in Las Vegas for the whole 4 years, instead of relocating.
-
The anatomy/OMM labs, the students and faculty seemed very enthusiastic, tons of holidays, 6 week blocks before exams, free parking, all rotations can be done within NV
-
I found the school to be amazing. I wasn't so sure how I would like the single building, but I kinda liked it. They are doing a lot of expansion, like all of the other schools, but from what I've seen, I like the approach they are taking to it. They seem to really listen to what the students want. The students wanted a gym and TVs, so they now have a gym and TVs.
-
They are very open to feedback and are growing a lot. Free parking. The facilities are pretty nice despite being in a warehouse-like building. You can do all your rotations in Nevada!
-
some of the students are super nice. my tour guide offered a ride to the airport even though it's a 20min drive.
-
The attentiveness of the faculty, and their enthusiasm.
-
The dedication of faculty and staff to students.
-
open door policy, location, facilities for a small school, opportunities available at the school and surrounding area
-
I loved the location, school was clean and facilities were nice.
-
the overall feel of the school, it is all under one roof so I felt very comfortable and could see myself there in a year.
-
the faculty and staff and area
-
Roger is a really nice and enthusiastic admissions director. Very knowledgeable and excited about Touro.
-
I came away more impressed with this school because all the students were happy. The school does give alot of support to their students and I feel as though they realize their #1 asset is their students.
-
Close quarters, friendly environment, great location
-
everyone was friendly, honest and helpful. the facilities are new and impressive and all the students seemed very happy to be there. they all said they had the option to go to another school and chose to come to touro-nv instead
-
Roger Corbman is as friendly as everyone says. He tells things like it is. He doesn't hide anything - good or bad about the school. He emphasizes that if you don't think Touro is for you, then you shouldn't go here. I liked the Anatomy lab, the OMM lab, the friendliness of all the students. They let you know if you're accepted a week from the day you interview. Also, if you're accepted, you have to deposit $2000 to reserve your seat. But if you choose to attend a different campus, then they give you $1900 back.
-
The relaxed feeling of both the students and the faculty.
-
The genuine enthusiasm of Roger Corbman, an athletic, sweet, genuine person. I really enjoyed him and he made me feel at ease.
-

Everyone was very nice and the students were very enthusiastic about their school. The curriculum sounds wonderful and will prepare you well for the boards. The new clinic opening!
-
Roger is great. Everything under one roof, nice anatomy and OMM labs, lecture halls are nice, gym/weightroom within the building. All of the LV 3rd/4th year rotation opportunities.
-
The students and faculty seem to have a very reciprocal relationship; the open door policy that they discuss seems to truly exist. Roger Corbman is exactly as advertised and the applicants seem to feed off of his enthusiasm.
-
facilities, the fact that DOs get to mingle with the other programs in the same building. responsiveness of administration.
-
The people.
-
I think the clinical opportunities will be outstanding for this school. Nevada is an amazing place to be able to practice medicine. Touro knows this.
-
the great facility and especially the opportunities in Las Vegas; the friendliness of everyone at the school; how down to earth everyone was;
-
Staff rocks.
-
The staff is very friendly and helpful. Roger Corbman, the admissions director, is one of the funniest counselors I've met. He has a lot of energy and is genuinely passionate about what he does, and is honest about the strengths and weaknesses of the school. The facilities are very new and the school is expanding and looking to take a larger role in the health care of the Las Vegas community. The students seem in support of this and raved about their faculty and rotations.
-
students loved it.
-
N/A
-
Friendly atmosphere and the admissions director.
-
the anatomy lab was pretty sweet, people were nice, and Henderson is actually pretty decent
-
I liked the attitude everybody had regarding their school. I expected this crappy building and sad students but it was exactly opposite. The building is a maze to figure out but every thing is top of the line and the students seemed very happy and actually have a say in the future curriculm
-
That the students and faculty are proud of their school and very positive about the future growth they foresee the school will undergo (its first year was only 2004). Plus, the anatomy lab is huge & bright & smells fine. 4 students / cadaver
-
student enthusiasm, professor enthusiasm
-
How happy ALL of the students seemed.
-
The open door policy of the faculty. They were very helpful, friendly, and willing to answer anything. The facililty is an old warehouse, but it is very nice on the inside. They have all the latest technology, wireless classrooms, and an amazing cadaver lab. The students are very enthusiastic and love their school (but were a little upset about their new attendence policy). They have good pass rates so far. Very young school, so you have the oppportunity to contribute new ideas and actually have them implemented. Overall, impressed with the school.
-
The facilities are very high-tech. The entire campus is wireless and the OOM lab and cadaver labs are great. Power point presentations for every class are available online.
-
The lab facilities and everything is brand new. All the lecture material is online via powerpoint and they have instituted a 80% attendance policy. The cadaver lab is huge and amazing, 4 students per cadaver and internet access at each as well. Everyone is very friendly and very casual. Really stress-free environment. Mr. Corbman is a really funny and helpful individual.
-
Everyone was really friendly. Students even post their notes online.
-
Yes, its a warehouse, but it has walls and even lecture halls. The anatomy lab is spacious and new. The school gets 40 cadavers and there are no more than 4 people to a body. People are friendly and profs have open door policy.
-
student culture, progress of the school, open door policy, friendly/supportive atmosphere
-
Everyone was incredibly friendly. Roger Corbman really put everyone at ease the minute we walked through the main doors. He got through all the information that he needed to and did so in such a relaxed way that everyone listening to him calmed down and began to feel right at home. The students were great...they would stop all that they were doing in order to talk to us when we were on our tour and answer any questions that we had that might not have been answered previously. They seemed genuinely happy to be studying at the school and really wanted us to all to feel at home there. Overall, a great experience and I definitely feel as if I can fit in at TUCOM-NV.
-
The great relationship the students shared with their professors. Each student appeared very enthusiastic about the program at Touro. The school's dedication to Judaic principles and values.
-
Everything under one roof (one stop shopping so to speak). Roger Corbman seemed very genuine. Dean of the school came and spoke to us as well.
-
The enthusiasm of the staff & students. Everyone is happy. Also, great board scores.
-
People, facilities, location, program, everything!
-
The enthusiasm of the students and how the school cooperates with students to resolve current and future issues
-
The warmth of the staff, faculty, and students.
-
Students and faculty were very friendly. Students were open and honest with our questions.
-
The school is newer however, it seemed like it had been there for years. The tour guide was a student and he was awesome, very laid back and made us feel relaxed. The rotation sites for the school are amazing, so is the anatomy lab. They have one of the most renowned DOs in the world (Dr. Jones, I think). The students all seemed happy. Their board scores seemed to be awesome.
-
The students really like it there
-
Positive and happy vibe amongst faculty and students. New facilities, modern classrooms, nice anatomy lab
-
A very close knit school. Everyone knows everyone else. IF you don't like the big university setting. this is the place to be.
-
Everyone seemed very happy to be there. There was a very strong bond between students that was absent in other schools I have visited.
-
Features of the school, very nice facilities. If you're from the area it is one of the more desirable areas of town, although it's right next to the Automall, 10-15 car dealerships in one area.
-
the facilities, the faculty, and the students seemed genuinely happy to be there
-
The students' and Roger Corbman's enthusiasm...they really know how to sell you the school. Also, I'm from out of town and got lost at night(took the wrong bus). I was really impressed with the willingness of the locals to help me get back on track to my hotel.
-
The professors are there for the students 24/7....they will do anything to help you succeed in their classes
-
small building and a really positive feeling about the class sizes and the curriculum
-
Everything: Roger Corbman, the staff, the students, and the facilities.
-
the friendly reception desk lady and some of the students at the school
-
I think I was prepared for the worst based on some other comments I read, but I think the location was actually nice. All the students seem very friendly and it seems like a supportive environment.
-
New facilities
-
The closeknit atmosphere of the students and professors. Roger Corbman (the director), is by far the coolest guy and easily sells the school. The large amount of partnerships the school has with surrounding hospitals.
-
the director of admissions is hillarious! People seemed comfortable there, the whole place had a So Cal laid-back feel
-
Students seemed very happy. Definitely friendly and close-knit. Very casual and laid back atmosphere...Maybe too laid back for me even though I'm from the same coast.
-
I ran into several students in the hallway and pretty much all of them asked if I was interviewing (I was suited after all) and they wished me well. The student guide was informative and gave us a pretty complete tour of the school. There is a small gym and b-ball court in the building. The facilities all loooked new and modern. The staff and people in the building were all friendly.
-
the friendly faculty and open students
-
clinical rotations in the area, good anatomy and OMM labs, jewish AND regular holidays off
-
Beautiful new OMM lab with high tech facilities.
-
facilities, students were friendly and enthusiastic, lecture halls, the weather was great
-
School was very clean, students were extremely nice and helpful. The dean spent a lot of time with us meeting everyone and giving us his philosophy about the school. At this point I had decided that this was the school for me.
-
There was a very warm atmosphere to the school. The faculty really wants to see you succeed and will be up there late at night and during the weekend if necessary. The other students are also very helpful and classes from the year before post their study guides.
-
Students were really friendly and enthusiastic. Everyone seems happy to be there
-
Touro's
-
That since my cab never showed, the Director of Admissions (Roger Corbman) sent a secretary to pick me up. Awesome people who really want you to succeed and enjoy being there. I was told that the faculty come in on weekends to answer questions and help students.
-
The people: students, staff, faculty were all exemplary. How much the school has been accepted by the community and its ambitious plans for the future.
-
The Dean...Mitchell Forman is awesome. There's something about him that demands respect. The students there are enthusiastic and intelligent. The faculty was also obviously intelligent, although a little bit intimidating.
-
The dean of the school visited with the applicants for about an hour.
-
The new facilities and that everybody seemed very happy and nice.
-
The staff and faculty were excellent. Roger is a great asset to the school. Students went out of their way to say 'hello' and 'good-luck'. Everybody seemed to be very united and happy to be there.
-
Like other people have said, everyone is very very nice. Roger Corbman is awesome. He's honest, straightforward, and does a great job at making you relax. As everyone says, its located in a new industrial park, and is technically a warehouse building. The inside is all brand new, and you don't even know you're inside of one. No compllaints at all about facilities. Great labs. That anatomy lab has a awesome ventilation system so you don't smell any fumes or anything. Students looked happy and were really nice and helpful. The Las Vegas community has accepted them well, all Vegas area hospitals are onboard for students to do rotations. Touro-NV is only the second medical school in the state, UN-Reno only puts out 50 students a year, so the area is MORE than happy to have Touro there. They also created several new residency spots in Vegas, that they couldn't have done with only UN-Reno there. They are a new school, but I think they are quickly going to grow into one of the most respected schools.
-
fantastic experience super nice
-
Mr. Corbman was very good at making the interview process a pleasant one. The students who joined in to give tours and answer questions were outgoing and eager to answer any questions we had. It seems for the most part, the students were happy with their choice. I thought it was also a good thing that a decision on your file was made no longer than 2 weeks.
-
The school has a very good reputation and awesome rotation sites. The Dean used to be the VP for TCOM. The people at TCOM say that Dr. Formen is the best that you can get, he strives for nothing but perfection. Everyone says that the building is a warehouse, this is not the case. Yes it looks like an office building but once inside it is totally MEDICAL SCHOOL BABY!! Very big inside and very state of the art. I think that in 10 years TOURO-Nevada will be one of the biggest Osteopathic schools in the nation.
-
Great staff. They are all so nice and funny. They facility is nice too. Full court b-ball and lots of study rooms.
-
Liked the students they had talk to us.
-
The area has a tremendous opportunities for health care professionals and is undergoing substantial growth and development.
-
The school is new. I guess that's nice. Roger is personable - one of the good things this school has going for it. THey do email decisions if you ask them to.
-
the emphasis on making it a good experience. lack of stres. "chill out" Students were very nice and made you feel at home.
-
The director of admissions and the dean. Jewish holidays off.
-
Motivation of students, great admissions department, motivated faculty. Facilities seem very nice...misleading from the outside.
-
Staff and students seem dedicated in making this a very good school. The school is also expanding very rapidly and having everything in one building is pretty nice given the heat.
-
Everyone was very nice and friendly.
-
The faculty and staff are very friendly. There's wireless internet everywhere. Roger seems a very affable guy!
-
Very positive atmosphere: great faculty, excellent dean, very new classrooms/labs.
-
The people, the people, the people - in a medical school I'm looking for experience in the people who will do the training, not in the walls that surround the classrooms. Touro-Nevada has some wonderfully experienced people from Dean Forman on down!
-
The campus, students, Roger Corbman, the dean, all first-class people and great to be around
-
How nice everyone is to each other. They (including the professors) seem like a close group with open door access to the professors etc. They are an aggresive school with fantastic plans for the future. The demand for physicians is great in Las Vegas, and they are practically begging Touro for more medical students for rotations etc. Roger is great. He really wants you to be happy with you choice of medical school, no matter where it is. The dean is also great and willing to help. The facilities are a work in progress but given the fact that they have been open for only 1.5 years, things are actually pretty nice.
-
The faculty and students are REALLY great at Touro. I noticed that the Dean personally knows each and every one of the students and will stop and talk to each of them as he walks through the campus. I also really like Mr. Corbman, the Admissions Director. He was very friendly to the interviewees and did his best to make us feel comfortable.
-
Friendly and outgoing staff, exam block was underway and many students and several faculty stopped by and talked to us. The Dean came in and really spent some time with the group of interviewees learning about our background, answering questions, etc. Roger Corbman is friendly, outgoing, funny, and really seems to enjoy helping and getting to know the applicants. Family-like atmosphere everywhere at the school. The school seems to operate smoothly for such a short time in business. New facilities: cadaver lab, lecture halls, omm lab all high-tech and brand new. Also, a gym and indoor basketball/volleyball court are nearly complete and will be really nice (Perhaps, the only non-school activity on campus) Most of all, VERY efficient decision by ADCOM. Application to Secondary Application = 2 weeks. Secondary submitted to interview offer = 2 days. Interview on Tuesday, ADCOM met on Thursday, Email of decision on Friday, Letter on Monday. The MD schools I applied at took MONTHS and MONTHS just to process primary, secondary, or make interview decision, let alone decide on Admit/Wait/Reject after interview. How is it that a new institution can have there act together so much better than the others that are so slow and disorganized even though they have been doing it for years?
-
The faculty, staff and facility
-
Las Vegas
-
The enthusiasm of the staff & students. I would be so happy there.
-
Very modern and NEW facilities, can park right up front at the school.
-
Everything was very new.
-
Students had an excellent relationship w/ faculty/admin, a very tight knit fmaily like environment. Seems like there is a strong support system amongst the students. Students voices are heard and changes are made to accomadate the needs of students.
-
I would have to say everything. The school is new and the students show great deal of comradery. Teachers are very active with students. The opportunities offered by the school is amazing.
-
The school was very close-knit. Students and faculty were welcoming, very positive energy. Area/facility is new. You don't have to pay to park at the school. Key card access to everything.
-
The students absolutely love being there. The building is only about 1/3 developed so plenty of room to grow. Roger Corbman was great and so were the other students I was interviewing with.
-
Who doesn't LOVE Las Vegas?!! Everything is brand, spankin' new and the weather was great in March. The students were really happy and the facilities are great. They're going to have a gym and workout room done for this fall's students, so that will be great. Did I mention that I LOVE Las Vegas? :-)
-
The entire campus and structure - medical education without any nonsense, excellent facilities (everythings new).
-
The faculty at TUCOM-NV are absoluteley amazing. It's a very friendly environment and I could really see that I would fit in there quite well.
-
the school is close to ski mountains
-
the students were nice, vegas is fantastic! cheap cost of living. campus is wireless. roger corbman is great and made me feel at ease.
-
How warm and welcoming everyone was. Roger Corbman, director of admissions, spent a lot of time talking with us answering any and all questions. It made the process feel less stressful. The students who took time from their reading day to talk to us really like it there and have no regrets about being the first class of the school.
-
The family-like community feeling. You get to feel a sense of belonging. All the people are truly nice and welcoming. Students do not seem competitive and there seems to be a close relationship btwn professor and student. I am very thankful for such a positive welcoming that I received. Henderson is great!
-
Enthusiasm of the students and the faculty. They were all very positive and down to earth. Very understanding that I had to leave early to catch a plane. Living in the area would be really cheap. High demand for doctors in the Vegas area.
-
The enthusiasm of the students, the friendliness of the faculty and staff. BEAUTIFUL WEATHER
-
The family atmosphere of the school. Everyone was supportive and seemed to be friends with each other. Atmosphere was very laid back. State of the art classroom.
-
The students by far -- they are this school's best selling point. Brian, Tiffany and Jill were absolutely great about showing me around and making me feel welcome.
-
People, Location, an orthopedic surgeon who will be performing knee and hip replacements on the campus.
-
The students and faculty are very friendly and welcoming. There is a community feeling. There is a lot of housing nearby, and the area seems safe with very little traffic. It would be easy to walk or bike to school.
-
This school is amazing; absolutely everything during my experience impressed me, and it is now my top choice. The facilities are brand-new, the campus has wireless access and laptop plug-ins in the classrooms, the curriculum is a mixture of the basic sciences and a system based approach; the school also implements case-based and problem-based learning into the curriculum, as well as the OSCE labs (simulated patient assessment laboratories). There is no curve, so you are only competing with yourself in the end. There is a world-renowned orthopedic surgeon coming to practice at TUCOM-NV, so the students will be able to watch his surgeries via closed-circuit TV, and apparently, a number of international physcians will be expected to come as well. All the clinical rotations will also be in NV, and the college plans to open up an occupational therapy program as well as some other masters programs. Touro University is well known internationally and throughout the eastern United States. Henderson is also one of the fastest growing cities in the nation, and is a great place to live - everything is clean, and it is a sound place to make a future for oneself given the shortage of doctors in NV. Most importantly, however, everyone was so chill I could not believe it!!!! I love the people. They were all very laid back and friendly, from the students to Mr. Corbman (he is hilarious, btw) to the Dean(s).
-
EVERYTHING except the actual interview, which is unfortunate. I am a bit disappointed that there is no cafeteria, although I understand that it would be difficult since everything has to be Kosher. The students are amazingly nice, and not in that cheesy-nice way, either. Not only that, but they interact freely with the PA students. I like that everyone is kind of family-ish there. Mr. Corbman is hilarious. There is a informal enviroment there, and it seems to work well. I personally LOVE the surrounding area, but then again, I grew up in the country. I am impressed with all the additions the school is planning. I do wonder how implementing all the extra programs will work out...
-
I was amazed with the effort students put out to make me feel welcome. One student picked me up at the airport, provided free accommodations and drove me back to the airport! In the morning his roomate made me breakfast. The students were really positive and happy to be there.
-
During the orientation everything was fine. Everyone was enthusiastic.
-
The sheer enthusiasm of the students.
-
My interviewer was great. I felt completely relaxed. Also, the student tour guide was very informative and approachable.
-
The enthusiasm of the students and professors
-
The interviewers were very polite, cordial, and professional. They offered all information about the school and its location. Very informative.
-
The kindness of everyone at the school, including faculty and interviewers.
-
The people!!! A lot of outgoing extroverts from the students to the Director of Admissions. The class 0f 2008 totally struck me as a friendly, close-knit group. I didn't pass one person that didn't say hi or introduce themselves and strike up a conversation.
-
The students, faculty and staff were all very friendly and happy to be there. Everyone was open. People were always stopping in to say hi and wish the interviewees luck, answer questions. Everything is new. The anatomy lab is awesome. There is an orthopedic clinic going in right next to the school which rumor has it, students might get to watch surguries.
-
Very friendly and close knit group of students,a DO orthopedic surgeon will be starting research in a new building in the back of the school, 6000 people coming to Vegas monthly creating a need for physicians, students get out around 12pm Fridays, the faculty being very helpful and accomodating
-
The lectures are all online on powerpoint so that all of your notes can be taken on your labtop and the entire school has wireless internet. The open door policy with all of the faculty and the happiness of EVERYONE I met was really inspirational.
-
everyone is so excited, everyone is motivated to do something great.
-
The family atomosphere between the students and faculty. It was a very special enviroment. I thought the facilities were nice as well.
-
the students are very nice and love being there
-
The DO students and the PA students really support and help eachother like a close team, which I feel is really important. The faculty are all personable,extremely intelligent, and show sincere concern for all of the student body. Also, part of my family is Jewish so I felt familiar and comfortable around everything, and everyone has major respect for aspects of Jewish culture. The diversity of the student body is great. There is a definite social life outside of the school, which is always a good thing because every med student needs to occasionally unwind and have a beer(or 10) :)The new ortho surgery center is going to be FANTASTIC.
-
friendly students
-
The students seem very energetic and friendly and Henderson is a great, clean suberb close to Vegas.
-
As I had already known, the students and the faculty were really awesome. They really took their time answering our questions and totally supported us the whole day.
-
class cohesion, even though the "campus" was a warehouse, they really made it feel homey inside, they are really trying to use concrete curriculum from MI but still make their own distictions
-
The school seems to be looking to create something special. Everyone is really excited about the school and they have the desire to be a top-notch medical school while serving the underserved.
-
The director of admissions is great. The students were great! There was always at least one student chatting with us throughout the day and I was impressed with how positive and friendly they all were.
-
the enthusiasm of the students and faculty. The students have a lot of input on how the school works. and the new ortho surg center sounds GREAT!
-
How nice and welcoming everyone was at the school. Roger Corbman is the greatest.
-
THe facility is great, everything is brand new and the students are incredibly friendly. They also seem to have the best of everything.
-
The enthusiasm of the students and faculty, the "can do" attitude of Nevada, Henderson, beautiful mountains
-
The friendliness of the students and everyones enthusiasm.
-
I really like the sub shop down the street from the school. Ethusiastic students.
What impressed you negatively?
Applicants commonly expressed concerns about the lack of campus feel, disinterested interviewers, long virtual days, unorganized interview processes, unimpressive facilities, short interview times, the building's appearance, and the lack of amenities like a cafeteria or bookstore. Suggestions included improving interviewer engagement, organizing interviews better, enhancing facilities, providing more time for interviews, and creating a more conducive learning environment.
-
Was slow at times
-
It seemed like the interviewer was seeing my application for the first time during the interview.
-
Super long virtual day
-
Interviewer seemed like he didn’t want to be there, and was not interested in getting to know students.
-
My interviewer asked me if I knew that my life would be "harder" as a DO. Caught me off guard and was off putting. They also messed up my interview date and which group I was interviewing with, pretty unorganized to me and
-
Everything.
-
The interview was blocked from 8 AM to 2 PM.... that's too long and cameras had to be on
-
nothing really
-
My two interviewers seemed completely disinterested in getting to know me, and instead used the questions to attack me. Every answer I gave was met with a snide comment about how I didn't understand.
-
despite board success, match list is poor for DO school (predominantly FM). vice dean had very little to say about the clinical rotations, which seem lackluster. the campus is a single building with drab rooms and zero windows, a prison cell
-
The building interior feels incredibly claustrophobic.
-
The interview itself was more like a rapid-fire session of questions. I went into the interview thinking it would be very conversational, but it was not at all. Both of the people who interviewed me also seemed very disinterested in being there. Also, they must really hate windows because there are literally none except for at the main entrance.
-
Wayyyyy too much. The school is essentially a renovated warehouse. The anatomy lab is outdated and only has old projectors to view the lecturer from. There are almost no windows at all, so you are stuck inside what sort of seemed like a prison all day, every day you are there for class. Cafeteria was laughable. OMM lab also was outdated, with only projectors to watch the lecturer from. The library was legitimately the size of a large storage closet. The student who gave us our "campus tour" was an M1 (the interview was in September...) and only had one answer for the 8-10 questions i asked him (not necessarily his fault, but someone more knowledgeable about the school who had been there for more than a month should have been giving the tour.) Also, the interview was only 20 minutes. I flew across the country, spent X hundred dollars, to sit down and talk with two people for 20 minutes. What a joke. During lunch when speaking with the student panel, every single one of them said they chose the school because of its "location", that was the most positive thing any of them said about it. Also, lastly, if you're still reading, if accepted to the school you have only 2 weeks to send in your $2,000 deposit. That's absurd. What I got from that and the rest of the day in general was that they know that is no one's first choice (unless maybe you're from Vegas area), so they trap you by giving you almost no time to make a decision about sending them a ton of money that you will not get back if you decide to go somewhere else later.
-
INTERVIEW WAS A BIT SHORT
-
facilities, its a giant warehouse
-
The facilities are "ok" and are shared with many programs.
-
How quickly the interview went and the lack of food options on campus.
-
Interviewers wanted to concentrate on research over any other ECs and I felt I didn't get a chance to represent myself accurately. Lack of windows.
-
The school building isn't the nicest. But it has great facilities inside of it. It's all contained in one building so I was a little bummed it didn't have a campus feel to it. But that's a minor detail.
-
N/A
-
The rest of the facility outside of the anatomy lab. School was built from a converted shipping warehouse and was not well thought out. Students that we had lunch with were somewhat condescending.
-
Small size of campus(building?)
-
It's a strange building (I like windows), an almost non-existent bookstore and library. But texts are mostly online so that is understandable.
-
Nothing really. The library was a bit small but that's minor to me. Oh, and the interviews are now 20 minutes, no exceptions. I wish I'd had a little more time.
-
they waitlisted me haha
-
The interview was my third and by far the most grueling. They grilled me and I felt really unsure, but I was accepted, so no biggie i guess.
-
Parking lot looks a little small; tour guide told stories about police ticketing speeders on the street right in front of the school.
-
The school facilities are smaller than some other schools
-
Campus is totally Costco style, average COMLEX I and BELOW AVERAGE COMLEX II scores, overpriced tuition, mandatory $2000 DELL laptop purchase for first years, no scholarships, no extra degrees
-
the dean was out of town and the committee postponed their decision meeting
-
Small library, and the fact that the school looks like a office building, like other members mentioned. Better than I thought when I actually visited though. Also, the fact that I HAVE to buy a Dell PC (I'm a mac guy) when starting school. I wish I could opt out of that and buy a new macbook instead, but it comes preloaded with software you need for studying.
-
No cafeteria and small library.
-
I didn't love Henderson... Strip-mall after strip-mall....
-
I didn't realize their numbers were so low (26 MCAT, 3.3 sGPA). Their COMLEX pass rates were also below average (88-90%, IIRC). The whole one-building campus thing still kinda rubs me the wrong way.
-
I wish the school had a SIM lab. The school seemed a bit small though it shouldn't interfere with the quality of my education.
-
My tour of the facility was SHORT (maybe 15 minutes). The tour guide was extremely unenthusiastic and wasn't even aware he was giving a tour to DO applicants. There aren't a lot of residency positions in the local area.
-
The building, wish it looked more like a school rather than a large office building or Costco.
-
nada
-
Nothing....on the whole it was a great experience.
-
I didn't like that my interview was so short, I left thinking I didn't have time to make an impression on my interviewers and that there was more I wanted to talk about. But I got in so apparently it wasn't as bad as I thought :)
-
Campus looks like a converted Costco
-
School facilities are closed on sabbath and high holidays. High tuition.
-
The size of the school. It is only one warehouse. But a nice warehouse on the inside.
-
It is in an industrial park. The program is new, and trying to coordinate the students and faculty effectively.
-
The area - pretty much desert and casinos
-
Weather in the summer will suck. The rate at which the area is growing, and the suburban sprawl! You get UNLV acting students instead of sim robots. I think this starts in the second year though.
-
No sim-man like other schools. Tuition is bit expensive $71k/yr + 4% increase each successive year. It's the same regardless of in or out-of-state status.
-
the interviewers were not interested in me or getting to know me. they didn't ask any relevant questions about my application.
-
The building was under construction, making it hard to find the front door! But I love this school.
-
Not really sure. I don't care what the campus looks like or if the computer lab and library is huge because that won't help me pass boards. All I need are my books, notes, and brain to study.
-
small library
-
No cafeteria on campus, limited study space.
-
the amount of people married in their mid twenties! Sorry commitophobe here...I'm mid twenty something and have no thoughts of marriage anytime soon!
-
apperance of the building
-
The campus was very informal. Our tour guides wore old, dirty t-shirts, jean shorts, and flip-flops. Students had full, cooked meals next to their computers in lecture hall. The building was nice but everything was mixed together and it seemed kind of sloppy.
-
none
-
Small gym
-
the interviewers ran out of questions and asked me the same question twice
-
The waitlisting process. If your GPA and MCAT are low, you're at the bottom of the waitlist. If it's high, your at the top and have a good chance of being accepted.
-
Would have to get used the single building style of school...But not a deal breaker at all.
-
The tiny library and lack of journals.
-
its location in an industrial area
-
Roger wasn't there! :( (but, we were well taken care of)
-
Facilities are not that ''pretty'' - but very functional. This campus is somewhat behind in the technology aspect compared to other schools.
-
nothing
-
emphasis on the weather. they must have students complaining night and day about it or something. if i didnt think i could handle the desert i would not have applied here.
-
The library.
-
The building itself is a bit dreary. Technology is a joke here, the computer lab looked like someone's Garage internet cafe along with homemade desk and dividers, they don't video/sound record any of the lectures, interviewers had my file, but seemed like it was the first time they had ever seen it, no specific questions at all.
-
If you're looking for a traditional style campus, with large foyers, patches of grass, fountains, and ''ivy growing on the walls'', you'll be disappointed that this facility is in a very large building. That being said, they've done a very good job at planning and making space for everything the school needs. Taking into account the weather (it's quite hot, 120 degF in the summer), you begin to understand why an entirely indoor campus is beneficial.
-
all students: DO, PA, nursing, have the same lunch time and share the same area. There is no cafeteria on site.
-
I felt like the faculty and staff were really insincere, students said that they went to this school because they didn't get in anywhere else, and my interview told me that DO was second rate and I should apply elsewhere.
-
almost too laid back, come on now at least make me a little nervous, I flew a long way for this
-
School is a warehouse, like Costco, basically. The heat was unforgiving even with AC. No library. No on-campus housing. Not enough parking spaces. No one in the area knows where the school is or if it exists at all.
-
It's a good school and needs to have a better reputation then it is given by SDN members.
-
That the school is in one HUGE square building. So you would never have a reason to go outside at all during the day. Also, how the students mention they absolutely have no life, even on the weekends = only studying
-
lack of cafeteria, newness of program
-
The inside was nice, but it was a maze! Definitely not your traditional campus.
-
The heat outside is greuling. Don't plan on staying outside during the summers.
-
The campus is built in the business district of Henderson in a warehouse. It does not resemble your typical campus.
-
The facility does not look like your typical school. It is built in a warehouse in the business district of Henderson.
-
Vegas isn't the greatest place to move becasue of the weather and the small size.
-
The whole day was kind of blah. I asked two people about international rotations as electives and pretty much got lectured because its a liability issue for the school. This is stupid because every other school at which I have interviewed is very receptive to people going abroad.
-
na
-
The only negative experience that I had was my interview. I didn't feel as if my interviewers wanted to get to know me at all. They only really asked me about my grades and MCAT scores which are 2 things that I can only explain so much. In my answers, I would bring up my volunteer/clinical experiences in hopes that they would start asking about that, but it didn't happen. I also felt as if one of my interviewers didn't really want to be there...I was just really put off by that. I just got frustrated because I traveled a long way and didn't need to be explaining my grades the entire time....that was something that they had on file already. It would have been more beneficial for everyone if they had asked me more about myself and my experiences because that can mean more than grades in the long run.
-
The building was small, and did not have the look or feel of a medical school. Rinky dink library (everything is online). The school did not appear to encourage or emphasize student involvement in the community. There did not seem to be a strong department for student life.
-
nothing.
-
Nothing!
-
not much of a library, too few computers, not your traditional campus
-
Location of the school, only give 2 weeks to make a deposit, and one of my interviewers.
-
Building is kinda plain, but so what..
-
The school is like a big warehouse
-
Not as many research opportunities, new scool still finding its niche in community (local and academically)
-
School location. Its in the middle of nowhere. student commute can sometimes be long.
-
The mobster like adamant view on their deposit, two weeks or else. I felt like I had a bookie. I think 2 grand is a little steep to get in 14 days.
-
the small library and limited availability of study rooms
-
Nothing really...the only thing I would change is the small library - I practically live at the library and the Touro one is pint-sized b/c everything's electronic.
-
No campus....one building only, no library
-
that my interviewer was negative-they said i cannot do research and that i did not know what medical school consists of-too much studying with no time for research and i love research.
-
The $2000 deposit once I got accepted.
-
the campus is so ugly inside and out, the tour guide looked over-worked and unenthusiastic, the director of admissions was too busy talking about himself and did not seem genuine despite all the caring advice to pick the school where we would be most happy, Nevada is an ugly desert with nothing to show off but the casinos
-
I thought the interview day was long. It felt as if information was repeated multiple times. Also, I asked about research opportunities and was told there weren't any and I wouldn't have time for them anyway.
-
End of an industrial strip
-
The fact that everything is in one building in the middle of an industrial park - not a very school like atmosphere (although I was already aware of this).
-
they hadn't read my file before I walked in for the interview, but that really threw me off for the first few minutes. But she glanced over it during the interview and seemed really really nice.
-
The
-
I was a little skeptical when I was flying into Vegas as the scenary was drastically different from home. However I spent 2 days in town before the interview and was comfortable with my surroundings by the time I left. Nothing at the school in particular impressed me negatively.
-
the place is literally a big warehouse....square rooms with equipment thrown in and labled as
-
no library, no windows
-
Campus in it's infancy. Still need some student food services.
-
this is not a negative, but i wish they had the board scores results and a match list
-
My interview was rediculous! I didn't drive 8 hours and spend over $400 to get a lecture about my grades. If they weren't good enough in the first place, why was I invited to an interview? The two faculty that interviewed me did not ask any questions but just lectured about how medical school is difficult and how they expect their students to have gotten X grades in Y classes. My interview was late starting, understandable as I was one of the last to go, but it was also cut extremely short because one of the faculty interviewing me had to go teach a class.
-
You have to pay a non refundable deposit within two weeks of being accepted. That's crazy this early in the year.
-
Only two weeks to decide whether you want to attend or not.
-
The building, no windows in our waiting area.
-
Nothing really, like everyone has said before it's in an industrial complex and has NO feeling of a school at all, but I think the faculty make up for it.
-
I'm used to larger, more established colleges, so the lack of bookstore, cafeteria, and large library stood out at first. However, the school has everything you need to do well in medical school and will probably continue to grow.
-
I didn't think certain individuals of the staff were as 'friendly' as noted on this web site. Being a Judaic school, only kosher food is served at the cafeteria. The campus, as mentioned in an earlier SDN posting, is in the middle of car dealerships. Las Vegas is a bit shady in general, but at least there is alot to do in the surrounding areas!
-
I cannot think of anything.
-
The lack of books in the library (it's an on-line library). The location.. I though I was lost when I was driving there... it's like Honda dealer... Toyota dealer... Med School.
-
Nothing really.
-
At first, just like many who have visited the campus, I was a little disappointed by the way the building looked like from the outside. However inside, the facilities are more than adequate. Just remember, you are in control of your education, not the building.
-
Nothing really, I actually didn't want to be there because my son was born 5 days before. So despite not wanting to be there I really liked it.
-
No cafeteria. There is a lunch room, just no real food being sold, just vending machines. Not a big deal though, I guess I should not be buying lunch every day anyway
-
No campus per say, Henderson is ugly.
-
Henderson, NV would never win a beauty contest!
-
Lots...weather, tour guides telling us that OMM dress code was sports bra and shorts "at all DO schools" - totally wrong. It's not. Just there (and maybe TUCOM-CA). Cafeteria...oh, wait, WHAT cafeteria? Their waitlist policy SUCKS. Sounds like once you're on it, there's no chance for you. Plus, they don't tell you where you are on it. TUCOM-CA at least tells you high, medium, low. Forget about traveling for your rotations - a whole year of them are ALL in Nevada. Too bad if there's something interesting you want to do elsewhere. Their budget is based off of the NY school - which does not have a medical school as part of it. That just seems...stupid. One of the interviewers suggested taking a master's program and reapplying....I already had multiple acceptances - clearly, this won't be happening. Seriously, why is this school inviting people to interview if they haven't accepted our stats? Mine are actually pretty decent. Their research opportunities weren't very good at all. Overall, it was pretty easy for me to cross this school off my list, accepted or not.
-
Seperation of Kosher food and other food. Only able to buy Kosher food at the school. Not really a big deal though.
-
Not really any outreach programs established yet, pricey cost, if you get accepted, you only have a couple of weeks to decide and send in a hefty chunk of money.
-
you have to send them cash within 2 weeks of your acceptance.
-
I'm sorry, but I just don't believe that a medical school should be one big warehouse building.
-
School location, provisional accreditation, no one has taken boards yet.
-
I didn't particularly care for the location or where the school's located.
-
My interviewers, from the get-go, seemed disinterested in seeing me, but after speaking to some other applicants, it seemed as though they were getting the same feedback. Who knows.
-
The fact that your down-payment on the school is $2,000 due only 2 weeks after you are accepted. The library is pretty much NON EXISTENT. Parking will also become a problem as the # of students attending continue to increase.
-
Nothing! One thing I wasn't sure about was the new facilities of the school, since they don't have as much compared to other campuses, BUT their facilities ARE state-of-the-art, and I recently went back for another visit and I was impressed by all the expansions they've done in just a few months.
-
General location of campus (Industrial Park). Lack of windows or outdoor facilities. Parking could become an issue as the class size grows and other programs are added. No food on campus or immediately nearby. No bookstore at all.
-
Dir. of Admissions was constatnly interrupted by cell phone calls during teh day and always excused himself from the room leaving the applicants staring at each other. this was extremely disrespectful to the people that paid hundreds of dollars to fly across the nation to visit your school. Next time have a assistant take messages for you.
-
The school facilities and the unproffesional mannerisms of the students
-
facilities are still being made (ie gym), new school means no set standard yet. No cafeteria except for a vending machine. The conference room was VERY small and cramped!
-
The tourguide was constantly talking about "partying" and ran around with his head phones on... like some club kid who managed to get into medical school but isn't sure why. Given the fact that we'd all flown in from various places and were under time constraints to learn about the school, who CARES how much this guy parties? Every student he met in the hall, he'd ask if they were going to come partying with him and his friends. It was irritating and unprofessional. He was pretty knowledgeable about the school, but you had to pin him down to get much more than superficial info from him. The building is in a warehouse, next to an auto mall. "Las Vegas" per se (primarily the center of town and "The Strip") is a good 1/2 hour away, so calling it the "Las Vegas" campus is misleading. You might as well start calling the other campus "Touro-San Francisco" while you're at it.
-
The "campus" is a single warehouse type building.
-
Nothing at all. After my tour and interview I was thoroughly convinced that this school is going to turn out very qualified doctors.
-
Nothing, oddly enough. I already knew it was a new and small school, but their proactive nature to make it a bigger and better school was appealing.
-
Nothing I really loved this school.
-
The cost of living. I didn't realize how much it was there. A 1 bedroom apartment is $800. I have a family so I would want something more. Also, there's not alot of jobs for my fiance there (he's research tech).
-
The campus is just one building and Since it's a new school there is still a lot of building to be done. The virtual library is...well...interesting.
-
still under construction, and they dont have a BOOK STORE YOU HAVE TO BUY YOUR OWN ONLINE OR BORROW FROM OTHER STUDENTS!
-
the library is too small, not enough places to study, the anatomy professor doesn't work well with the students. also half the students are mormon and almost 80% of students are male so not sure where I would fit into this school.
-
The walls of the school were a bit bare. But its understandable that it was not a priority during initial planning. The lectures are not recorded so if you miss class all you have to go on are the powerpoint slides and whatever notes you can get from classmates.
-
Library, but hopefully not to worry.... sources are becoming on-line accessible.
-
Obviously many aspects of the school are still in development so there are programs and facilities that are lacking but they are on the way!
-
Despite being called the Vegas campus, it isn't in vegas. It's only 15 minutes away though. The library was kinda sorry. The campus, or lack thereof.
-
They were still figuring things out, but then they are a new school so it was understandable. Interview was very casual yet not. They just kind of chatted with me, but becuase one of the interviewers had his paper on the table in front of me, I could see everything that he was writing down.
-
Nothing really. I guess the only thing I'd say would be that there is still building that needs to be done. But really where the students are looks nice. The building doesn't look like a med school from the outside but it's nice inside.
-
Nothing realy
-
A lot of the campus is not finished yet. The gym is not done, there is no bookstore or cafeteria, and it just looks a little plain.
-
Nothing! I don't mind that they don't have a cafeteria in the school. C'mon, this is Vegas! You can go out and eat just about anywhere you want, from a buffet to a small restaurant.
-
Well, I had two interviewers interviewing me at the same time. It was difficult to answer a question completely because the second interviewer would sometimes ask me another question before I was done with the first. As a result, I left feeling like I hadn't actually avswered anything. Also, one of the interviewers wasn't as friendly as I had hoped, but he wasn't actually unfriendly - maybe just less social than I was expecting. It wasn't too bad.
-
This probably isn't something I should be concerned with but some may find it informative. Late in the day there was a high level of tension at the school. I believe it stemmed from this report: http://www.studentdoctor.net/interview/show_entry.asp?ID=10333 A group of interviewees, including myself, remained after to attend a lecture. However, the lecture was postponed. We were unaware of the weight of the situation when we walked into the class, but by the dean's tone, I can only assume he was reprimanding those involved with the accusations posted on 2/1/05. It made those of us that walked into the lecture feel awkward, we know who we are, as this situation is NOT being taken lightly by the school's faculty and student population.
-
Library seems lacking. No on site food services. No prosected cadavers.
-
Some of the students are VERY immature. One guy almost fell in my lap(on purpose). It was completely unprofessional.
-
Honestly, nothing, the only thing that would keep me from going to the school is that I wish it was in California, and that might not even keep me from going there.
-
the school is tucked away in a business park but its not too bad. the first thing they told me was, "Wow, your GPA is high!" but I have a 3.6...i thought that was average. the two interviewers ran out of questions to ask me...oh, they really emphasize that they would like students to stay in Vegas after they graduate because of the doctor shortage.
-
The construction is rather loud and since they are such a new school there is no information about how well they will be able to teach medicine. They are also on the grading system, which I think promotes competition instead of teamwork.
-
nothing.....
-
The desert.
-
the interview itself and the deposit ($2000 due within two weeks of being accepted, non-refundable)
-
Honestly, nothing. They are in the process of negotiating rotations with various hospitals in the area, but all of that will be taken care of before any of its students get to that point in the program.
-
could of been better orgaized
-
The facilities, although clean and new, were boring and small and the library was a joke. Also, since it is a new school there is not any prood that they have good scores. Also, the students average age was 27 and there are 27 girls out of 78 students which realy limits the dating pool or at least party girls when there is actually time to go out.
-
"campus" is a warehouse, really..who does eat pickels from a vending machine? Admissions director really emphasized that each of us should find our match and not force going to any one school--that's great--HOWEVER they require you put down a $2000 deposit two weeks after being accepted...kind of hard to find the right match with that kind of requirement. Also, the interviewer poked fun at me for taking physical education classes in my undergrad for credit (one). It was not only was required by my major but, also a good stress relief and something I will continue to use my whole life to stay healthy and fit and live the osteopathic principle of "wellness". I was a bit offended.
-
It's more of a personal point, but just the lack (through no fault of their own) of confirmed clinical facilities, and some program development issues. I'm sure it will all be resolved and you will get a great medical education, but for me, (especially for the cost) I would prefer more solid program plans.
-
Nothing that comes to mind.
-
hmm...nothing really...
-
The cold weather.
-
The school is new and it is in an area that is currently under heavy construction. There were no definite plans for rotations yet.
-
The long drive!!! Finding out about the temperature, water shortage, pollution and crime... but what city doesn't have that problem?
-
The only food available at school was via a vending machine... who eats pickles out of a vending machine?
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Applicants commonly wished they had known more about the interview format, including group activities and multiple interview sessions. They also highlighted the importance of being well-prepared, eating a substantial breakfast, and considering the school's location and facilities.
-
Nothing. Interview was straightforward
-
Group activity interpretation, went over why touro/do in a group (unsure if that was graded)
-
That there would be two 20 min group sessions along with the one/two on one traditional interview
-
The mobile health outreach program is only for PAs
-
That the interviewers might be completely disinterested in me.
-
more info about rotations...still in the dark
-
That despite hotels on the Strip being much cheaper than anything in Henderson (at the time) it wasn't worth it since every hotel smells like secondhand smoke. Obviously I have never been to Las Vegas before. Lesson learned.
-
Not to go.
-
THAT MY INTERVIEWER WAS A PH.D....SHE DID NOT TELL ME UNTIL THE END
-
Nothing to note.
-
The questions I would get at the interview lol. Just kidding, Nothing in particular I wish I would have known.
-
Should have gone over every aspect of my app in detail and wish I had practiced defending myself in stress interview format
-
That the interview was really chill. Just be yourself and relax! If you've prepped ahead of time you will do fine!
-
Get there early so you can nab some visitor parking right by the door :)
-
One interview with two faculty lasting only 15-20 minutes. Wish there was more time to sell myself. I did not receive any ethical questions.
-
I was pretty prepared.
-
kosher food is good
-
How much I would Like the school. After going on all my interviews, i learned that for the most part, You have to take everything said on SDN with about 1000 pounds of salt!!
-
That we wouldn't have a bathroom break until 2.5 hours into being informed about the school. Interviewing for the first time makes me a bit nervous.
-
I was pretty prepared
-
interview occurs around 11am - 12pm, 2 hours after you meet with financial aid and learn about the school.
-
the student tour leader has a vote on the admissions committee
-
Nothing that wasn't already mentioned earlier
-
Nothing
-
Kosher lunches aren't so great. You spend your downtime while others are interviewing chatting with the student representative on the admissions committee, which is pretty cool.
-
That I would be given a folder full of information and I did not need to bring my own.
-
That the Dean of Admissions, Roger Corbman, had retired. From reading all the SDN feedback, I was really looking forward to meeting him!
-
Nothing really...
-
That I should probably have eaten breakfast before I got there!
-
That the visitor parking isn't for students interviewing.
-
I saw this on here before but didn't take it seriously: eat a big breakfast because you will be very very hungry by lunch time or even your interview! And being hungry is a major distraction, at least for me!
-
It only takes 15 minutes to get to the school from the Strip, my hotel told me to plan for an hour trip (one way).
-
Not much, SDN covers everything pretty well.
-
I don't think theres anything that I would have needed to know
-
That lunch would be so late. It was at 1 pm.
-
How approachable Roger (Director of Admissions) is and how willing he is to help you. He is sincerely interested in helping you, even if your questions pertain to other med schools. Do not be afraid to call or email him about anything.
-
How draining the 5 hour drive would be
-
If you don't rent a car when you go on your interview, it is really hard to get one out to the school to take you to the airport. Although this was one of the first issues addressed for the day.
-
That they have you there from 8 a.m. until about 2 p.m. and you have lunch at about 1:30p.m., I was so hungry, I thought I was digesting my own organs! Have a big breakfast!
-
The interesting questions I'd be asked.
-
How much you sweat in a suit on a 105 degree day.
-
how amazing the school would be! they have an amazing anatomy lab and a large mock physical exam room with patient actors, very impressive!
-
They interview around 550 students and accept only 135 students. So if you get interviewed you have a 25% chance of acceptance. Their waitlist is around 180 students long & they accept around 60 off the list.
-
How close everything is and how desirable a location it is
-
how close everything (ie: hotel/airport/school) is to each other, basically a 5 minute drive
-
I think I was well prepared, so I wasn't caught off guard by anything.
-
That I could have left my luggage with Marianne.
-
N/A
-
The details on rotations. It's possible to stay in Vegas for years III and IV.
-
The facilities are not nearly as bad as people would like to make them sound! Go take a look!
-
Nothing.
-
not much, as I relaxed, I began to realize I wanted to be honest with the interviewers and myself, and ended up asking a lot more questions about the school than time alloted. They run a bit disorganized, but I think that a lot of the students thrive in that situation.
-
Everything was way better than I thought it would be. It is not a costco building!
-
The interview started at 9 AM, by the time lunch came around at 1 PM I was starving. Get a good breakfast in you so you have plenty of energy and patience to sit through the presentations, tour, and interview sessions.
-
How much I didn't like the school, I could have saved my pennies and stayed home
-
That the school is a warehouse.
-
there is a physician shortage in the area of Las Vegas, which is a big positive for attending Touro
-
They have so much opportunity opening up in the Las Vegas area with clinical rotations and residency locations.
-
That the admissions team invites almost half of the people who applied to an interview. Therefore, making it ''all the way'' to the interview process doesn't mean you have a great chance getting selected -- only about 3/10 students that interview will get an acceptance
-
that Vegas is so damn hot!
-
The anatomy lab was average in my opinion. It didnt look as amazing as the TUN live website made it appear.
-
Their facilites were much better than what I read from SDN IF.
-
eh
-
na
-
It was good to learn that even though the school has no on-site housing for students, that most students live within a short distance from the school and within the same area.
-
Rotation opportunities appeared to be very limited.
-
Two interviewers at the same time.
-
To eat a big breakfast. It is a long day before lunch.
-
none
-
That the interview itself is very laid back and personal. They really seem to want to get to know your personality.
-
Definitely should have eaten a heartier breakfast.
-
The school was a big warehouse
-
SDN prepared me pretty well. Just check out all this feedback and you'll do fine.
-
Nothing. I read up on the school. THe school was more than what i had imagined. They have a good system in place.Effective and manageable.
-
MERIN
-
Expansion of school and number of new residency spots opening up in Vegas for DO's.
-
Nada.
-
To eat a bigger breakfast....you get there at 830 am, and you dont eat until a little after 1 pm
-
that i could have saved money by staying with a student and that the library was too tiny to study
-
My interviewers were not MD nor DO, but both Phd's.
-
A. T. Still would be so disappointed by some of the ridiculous questions the interviewers were asking me showing their lack of knowledge of OMT.
-
The library is very nontraditional - almost everything is available only online.
-
Wish I would have had other schools to compare to...this was my first interview
-
That the Las Vegas Airport is the craziest/busiest airport ever and if you don't want to miss your flight you better get there at least a few hours in advance, even on a Monday. Also, never trust an airport shuttle guy when he says he'll have you there in 10 minutes, its more like an hour. Lastly, that Nevada is 46th in the nation for physician to patient ratio and that they really want you to practice in Nevada after school.
-
the cab companies in Vegas are always late (some are nice...I left my cell phone in a cab and the guy brought it over)
-
That the school was all in one building and eveyone is very close together, this is different than the traditional multi-level medical school with a hospital next door that I have visited.
-
DO NOT rely on the cab service in Henderson. oh my god it almost made me late to the interview
-
The campus is in an industrial strip mall.
-
nothing, I was overprepared for this interview!
-
That Las Vegas drivers are the worst on the planet. I wish I could move this school to another location... I'm not a fan of Vegas
-
The facilities are very nice. The inside of the school looks much better than the outside
-
Nothing really. No major surprises.
-
DO NOT EVER take a cab to your interview. I sheduled my cab an hour before my interview and it never showed. Do whatever else you can, nut NEVER take a cab.
-
I think I was well prepared...too much time on SDN :) However, I was surprised by the disparity between the comments about the school's wharehouse-like feel and what I experienced. The facilities are great and have a completely medschool feel.
-
That the interview was not as 'easy' as people on SDN had stated. I got a ride back to my hotel with two other interviewees, and they were also grilled during their interviews on the weakest parts of their applications. Also, the school highly recommends taking a course in biochemistry, anatomy, or molecular biology (which is pretty standard I guess), but it almost seemed like a requirement. So try to get a couple of those out of the way if attendng there!
-
I did not have any expectations ahead of time. After leaving, I was very impressed.
-
Where the School was located
-
Nothing that I wasn't ready for. (thanks SDN)
-
Just relax and be yourself! Absolutely no stress.
-
Nothing, If you do all your research there shouldn't be anything new.
-
Nothing, the school is great. Henderson is brown though, but I guess I will get used to it.
-
The school is an old warehouse made into a medical schohol
-
That I disliked the school so much that there was no point going. Seriously, if I knew of a good way to leave midway thru the day, I would have.
-
that the building didn't look like a UPS building looked like a normal building, but what do you expect when you read about it from the craziness on SDN
-
I already knew, but the real cost of ~59,000 a year is serious debt.
-
It was my second time there so I knew what to expect.
-
Nothing. I've been to the Vegas area many, many times before.
-
That Touro-Mare Island has been sending 3rd and 4th year students to Las Vegas for rotations, thus there are already rotations in place for Touro-Nevada also.
-
How much I would really enjoy the school and the faculty. I must admitt it, it wasn't at the top of my list but after the interview etc, I would definately consider it as a top choice. It really shocked me that this new school has developed this much so quickly.
-
Nothing!
-
I knew the class was nearly full, but wish I had known that they already had 150 people on the waitlist. As already mentioned in other feedback, the school can be difficult to find. If I had not driven around the night before to locate it, then I would have been late like a couple of other interviewees. Vegas offers a lot, but the area around the school doesn't really seem to offer much. No food on campus, but a sandwhich was provided at the end of the interview.
-
The roster for next year is already full. In fact, 115 students have been admitted and made deposits for 108 spots. Also, 150+ are already on the waiting list. Why did I pay for an airline ticket and hotel? Furthermore, 8 more applicants are scheduled for next week, if one of you reads this before Tuesday I suggest changing your ticket and cnacelling you reservations as soon as possible. The trip will be pointless.
-
How difficult it is to get to the campus by taxi. They don't know where the school is yet because it is new.
-
the school requires a $2,000 deposit within two weeks if you are accepted to their program
-
No surprises. Everything was even better than expected.
-
the interviews were a 2 on 1 deal. It was a little intimidating for me at first because I was used to 1 on 1 interviews. EVERYONE is rating you right down to the secretary--the admissions director told us that!!
-
The school-day seemed like another day of going to the office. Study rooms aren't sufficient to accomodate the current class, much less 2 classes at a time. They want to put PA's, optomitrists, and RN's in the same building, but pray tell where they all should park? Where the campus is, even though it's called "Las Vegas." How polluted the air was there, as the plane descended through a dense haze of tan/rust colored smog, I wondered how the asthmatics in LV were doing.
-
The large mormon population.
-
Everything I needed to know I had already read on this website.
-
That OMM is in a sports bra and shorts. - Oh well
-
Nothing too shocking. This website pretty much had everything listed that might surprise someone.
-
OMM is done in shorts and a sports bra. I don't know how comfortable I will be with this.
-
that the taxi drivers have no idea where the school is at!!!!!!!!!! also the interviews are so relaxed that it is really hard to get a feel for how well you did.
-
the school really is a warehouse. it doesn't feel like a medical school at all.
-
I was pretty well informed especially by chatting with the students that were there for us on President's Day!
-
Half of the current student body is Mormon.
-
Nothing.. I just wish I had brought my water with me into the interview.
-
Nothing, no surprises
-
That you could stay with a student
-
I was invited to interview Nov. 29th originally, but my notice was lost in the USPS mail (how reliable they are), but fortunately, I called in January and got an interview set up. There are 78 deposits in right now, and up to 108 (can be pushed to 120) will be accepted. I wish I would've had my interview back in December so I wouldn't have been interviewing for so few spots left. I really want to get into this school.
-
What? They're somehow affiliated with the Jewish religion? Guess I shoulda picked that up somewhere along the way, not that it matters with me.
-
I felt well informed.
-
That the students hosts are so receptive to applicants.
-
That some of the students seem really immature, particularly the guys. Also, the school is 75% male.
-
Not to stay to Sunset Station, because you can't help but gamble.
-
I did not have much time to prepare for the meeting however, No Surprises!
-
The Fact that you have to send a $2000 deposit 2 weeks after your acceptance, but the cool thing is that they will work with you. (TO AN EXTENT, not 6 months, but a couple weeks)
-
You can stay with one of the students for the visit...might be easier than getting a hotel
-
I wish i knew not to stay at the Holiday Inn express...if you are relying on a taxi, prepare to arrive late to the interview...not only were they late in picking me up (i called them 40 mins. ahead of time by the way)...but when they got to my hotel, they didn't even know where touro was!!! i arrived very aggrevated and flustered and I was the "late one" the entire day...the people at the school understood though, but it doesn't exactly make you look good. after such an aweful day, i ended up getting expected (they put me through the most hell out of any of the other interviewees). i'm still debating whether or not to go there.
-
I wish I had known that you could stay with a student. I would have liked to have experienced the student life at this school outside of classroom hours.
-
I wish I would have known not to play blackjack because I helped pay for a new casino.
-
If I had known that my interview date was the beginning of the exam block, I would've scheduled it on a different date. I wanted to sit in on one of the lectures.
-
see above
-
That when the acceptances come out, you have 2 weeks to reply with $2000. It makes it hard for me to consider TUCOM-NV since I can save mucho dinero by staying in state (although I won't find out until 2/1/05)
-
i knew it before hand, but you don't really understand until you get there how nice and welcoming the faculty and students are. the student host i stayed with was so nice, and was so eager to meet all the interviewees and hang out with us and answer any questions. i have been to other interviews where i met a few students but didn't really get a feel of them. at this interview, the students hung out with us during the breaks and were really nice.
-
That the person interviewing me was not a practicing physician, she just graduated .
-
We could stay with the students... There is CHW in Nevada.
-
That the school only gives you two weeks to decide if you want to attend after acceptance letters are mailed out. I would have scheduled my interview latter in the season.
-
That the interview format is not a panel like at TUCOM-MI, but rather is a two on one.
What are your general comments?
Applicants commonly found the interview experience at Touro University Nevada to be a mix of positive and negative aspects. While some appreciated the relaxed and conversational nature of the interviews, others expressed concerns about feeling rushed, disorganized, or not thoroughly evaluated. The school's facilities, faculty support, and emphasis on community service were generally well-received, but some applicants had reservations about the location and the school being relatively new.
-
Great school and nice interview
-
My interviewer talked more than I did and barely gave me a chance to speak. They asked a question and then cut me off before I could even finish. Who was being interviewed, you or me?
-
loved so many things about the school and other things let me confused/impressed me negatively. was one of my top choices but maybe moved down a spot or two after my interview
-
Worst interview experience ever... the must unorganized chaotic mess...literally so disappointed...
-
the dean is incredibly inspiring
-
They like wasting your time unfortunately
-
seems like a good school
-
Only interview here if you are a perfect human. Who knows, maybe it's all just tactics and ill still get in. Its a good school, but the interview sucked.
-
interview was too short and i'm not sure why i was picked for 2 on 1 instead of 1 on 1. one of the faculty was very full of herself
-
Went in prepared, thinking it would be a casual interview like the forums say. It was two-on-one format. One of the interviewers was very rude, cut me off in at least two of my answers. The other interviewer was fine. I read later on that this happened to several other applicants, so maybe it's something they do to see how the interviewee reacts? Unsure, but either way the interview was a negative experience. Additionally, they don't do the interviews 'til the end of the day, after a couple of hours of presentations. I was drained by the time the interview came around. The interview was virtual for me.
-
I got waitlisted, which i was actually thrilled to hear because of their B.S. deposit time/amount. What's sad is if i got accepted literally anywhere else, i wouldn't go there. And if i only got accepted there, I'd go knowing I was going to transfer after year 1.
-
TOURO NEVADA IS A GREAT SCHOOL. IF ACCEPTED, I WOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER GOING THERE
-
great school, great location, sub-par facilities but curriculum seems successful and they are focused on serving community
-
I felt like I was drilled at the interview. It wasn't overly stressful, but they definitely address any weaknesses in your application you may have, so prepare for that.
-
Great school, great city. Give it a chance.
-
This is a stress interview! I was put on the defensive right off the bat and did not get many softball questions, be prepared for some pressure and be ready to advocate for your strong points. KNOW YOUR APP
-
The faculty, staff, and students all seem very happy to be there. The faculty spends a lot of time focusing on the students and supporting them in anyway that they can. Seems like a great program!
-
Enjoyable experience
-
It seems like a perfectly good school, I really like their exam system (block style, similar to the boards), and they have a good match list with a lot going into specialties. I didn't like the campus/building much but that is relatively low on my list of priorities and I'm told it grows on you. The interview itself was a little odd, but everyone was consistently friendly.
-
This school exceeded my expectations, and more. The students seem really tight knit and the faculty was super supportive (they have an open door policy). I could definitely see myself here and hope I get in.
-
great schoool. they did a lot... I was impressed.
-
Great school with lots of potential, and they make sure you know about it. Not just promoting Osteo Med but how they help the community thru the sciences. Make sure you have time to visit the Strip afterwards - it's a great feeling once interviews are over.
-
This school was not my cup of tea - but it may be yours. I found it overpriced for no reason - there are no scholarships, no extra degrees offered and no international rotations. Plus they make you buy a Dell ( I am an apple user). Plus I personally am not a big fan of Vegas - without casinos, there would be nothing there.
-
very laid-back interview atmosphere
-
I was very VERY skeptical in coming here for interview. I was very close to declining their offer, but I am so glad I went. A very positive impression for this school. I would very much love to attend this school now
-
I really liked the school after going on the interview. I was not too interested before but afterwards I wanted to go here. Good residency placement and good labs and facilities. Pretty happy students and a good testing schedule.
-
Really liked the school and the people, but not sure about the location. It was HOTTTTT!!!
-
If I wound up going here, I'd be okay with it. Better options out there, though, at least for me. Still, the interview gave me an excuse to hang out in Vegas for the weekend.
-
The interview is really relaxed--though I personally was a bit stressed because I was ill--and even though I did not know the answer to some of the questions that they asked me, I was honest, and I got in despite everything!
-
My interview was short...much shorter than the other applicants which made me nervous. One of the interviewers was either non-responsive or frowning for most of the interview which made me extremely stressed. I was hoping it would have been more relaxed. I thought I did terrible, but I was accepted, so maybe I am a bad judge of my own performance. I would suggest this: if the interviewer seems very formal, answer very formally. Do not try to lighten the situation (which is a bad habit I have).
-
Looks like there are really good professors that are enthusiastic about your education. The students seem very positive about the school as well. I thought I did horribly during my interview, but I got accepted, so don't stress!
-
I LOOOOOVVVVEEEEEE touro!
-
I was quite impressed with the school before interviewing here, and even moreso after interviewing here. I loved the entire day and hope I am accepted here soon!
-
Very excited to attend here. TUCOM NV 2013!!
-
They placed a lot of emphasis on biochemistry and having taken sciences courses. During the interview they asked me how I did in biochem and were impressed that I had a lot of science hours.
-
The students are very friendly and seemed well composed for medical students. The blocked schedules create an environment where you are studying extra hard temporarily, but can somehwhat relax after big tests.
-
Roger Corbman, Dean of Admissions is fantastic. Has a genuine interest in helping you decide what school will be a good fit.
-
Do not think that you have to stay in Henderson. Save some money and get a deal at one of the many hotels in Vegas.
-
Really the only disadvantages to the school is its newness and the desert region. I don't like Vegas...
-
It is a new school, but I really like the way that they are doing things, especially with the expansion. They seem to listen to what the students want. I thought Roger was great, and he is willing to work with you to find the best school for you, even if it isn't Touro.
-
It's an upcoming school. There are lots of opportunities for growth and expansion. They want serious, dedicated students since they are close to the Vegas strip so makes sense that they want to let their students know everything up front. I think it's a good school. Basically here's the layout of interview: Enter building, sign in and wait for Roger to get you. (Roger is really an awesome guy!). Walk to interview room w/ Roger pointing out some areas. Talk about the school. Financial aid talk. Dean comes in to talk about school's mission. He asks you who you are and where you're from. Resume talk w/ Roger as needed. Interviews start. Half the group gets interviewed and half go on tour for an hr. Then switch groups and when everyone gets back, there's a kosher lunch--sandwiches. You will know your interview order/time in the folder they give you. It's all outlined.
-
The students there were very nice. If it weren't for the students, I would have had a crappy time, but overall not impressed with the school or the interviewers.
-
I hope to see everyone in the fall!!!!
-
Great place and it would be a great change of scenery for me.
-
This school is awesome. Some people complain about the appearance of this 'Costco-looking' building. I was able to see past the plain exterior and see how great the facilities were inside. I have been accepted here and it is in my top 3.
-
loved it!
-
GREAT SCHOOL and STRESS-FREE Interview
-
great impression, generally a low key day, would love to go there
-
It's a great school. It is one big building, but they are adding another building before the next entering class starts. They are also trying to start a veterinary program, and the nursing students, as well as PA students are in the same building with DO students. The curriculum is split into two semesters: 3 blocks/semester. Each block is 6 weeks long. OMM meets once a week on Tuesday for a 2 hour lab and 1 hour lecture - the class is split with about 65 students and 8 professors during OMM lab. Exams are held for 1 week after the 6th week - anywhere from 6-9 exams. Overall, a great school and a great place to live. Housing is pretty cheap, too.
-
They make sure the entire process is laid back and stress free. This school has a lot going for it even though it's a new campus.
-
This was the best interview session I've ever had. Both interviewers were genuine, polite, and asked challenging questions. They wrote copious notes about my responses during the answer period. They had definitely read my file.
-
it was very pleasant and not as stressful as i had thought. roger corbman was extremely friendly as well as my interviewers and students who gave the tour of the school. it started at 9am and ended at 130pm.
-
Overall, a very positive experience! The interview was very relaxed and non-threatening. My interviewers were kind and laid back. The faculty and staff are very welcoming and comforting and the current students are enthusiastic. The campus is small and the facilities are nice. I found out that I was accepted the next day and am excited about attending.
-
I enjoyed my interview day, but was sad that Roger wasn't there. The students were awesome, especially our tour guide. The facilities are nice (HUGE anatomy lab) with only 4 to a cadaver. All in all, a nice institution.
-
A great experience, find a cheap room on hotwire.com, rent a car and stay for an extra day and have some fun! The interview day was relaxed and fun - due to Roger Corbman (director of admissions). Interviewes were polite, seemed engaged, took notes and were generally nice folks. I did find it odd that I interviewed with a faculty member and the Director of Financial Aid...
-
All and all, it was a pretty straightforward day. You show up and go through the usual stuff about the school and all of the things that they offer. The tour was pretty standard, but the students are very proud and enthusiastic about their school. My two interviewers were pretty benign, and nothing really came out of left field with them. In general, the school was much more impressive than I thought and I left there feeling very excited about the opportunity to attend!
-
i had one interviewer who was just so sweet and soft-spoken. the other one scared the sh*t out of me. it was not the most laid-back interview. but don't go out of your way to prep. like someone else mentioned, it was open file but it sure didn't feel that way. i actually brought up a failed class on my transcript that they should have asked me about if they had even looked that hard (yes, i realize that was a dumb thing to do, i was trying to emphasize a point and that info kind of vomited itself up). but i did get the impression that they are a very very serious school. outside of the actual interview, roger is awesome and so very thorough. i can see where someone could have said he gives them a car-salesman vibe, but you know what i'd rather see that than an unfriendly, tight-lipped person. there's great opportunity in nv. heard back from the office like four days afterwards. that in itself earns bonus points.
-
Don't be too honest like I was. You'll paint yourself into a corner that you might never get out of. Diplomacy and tact will take you very far in this process.
-
the interviewers didn't ask me one specific question about my file. It honestly might have been the first time they had seen my file as they asked me no academic questions (my record isn't perfect, I got a D way back when), no healthcare issues, no ''why medicine'' questions, and nothing about the career change I've made to become a physician. A bit aloof if nothing else.
-
The interview was very conversational, and I really like the interviewers.
-
Cake walk. The day is like most interview days, lots of information and no food til after. I had two interviewers and they were totally chill. I'm totally down with this school. Everybody bags on it being in a ''costco'' building, but its not a big deal. Whether you walk a sidewalk or a hall to and from a class shouldn't matter. The rotations are local, the electives are plenty and the flexibility is better than most I've researched. Go hear if you control of your future.
-
Met in the lobby at 9AM, met briefly with Roger (director of admissions), next off to a financial aid presentation and discussion with the dean, Dr. Forman. At 11 AM, one group gets the tour while another gets interviewed. At 12 the groups flip-flop. 1 PM lunch and Q&A session with Roger again, then free to go.
-
Interviewers were nice, but fired questions left and right. Roger and the students love their school, I was surprised by that.
-
Roger Corbman is nice but sounds like a used car sales man. They emphasize opportunities in research but my interview discouraged it so much. It's definitely progressive but i thought the school SUCKED in all areas.
-
It was easy, laid back, no hard questions, it is a DO school that promotes practicing in a big city, not rural, I hate rural so I like this school...I got in :)
-
The interview was very laid-back and faculty is down-to-earth. BUT, I don't think it will provide me with the type of medical education I'm seeking.
-
The interview went well. The interviewers asked the basic questions (tell us about yourself, WHY DO, why medicine, and then stuff that related to my personal file such as hobbies). Roger Corbman is as advertised. He is a very funny man that repeats himself but, makes you feel at home and at ease. The day went very fast and before you knew it you were out the door heading back home.
-
All in all, the day was quite pleasant. The head of admissions Roger Corbman is a character -- always smiling and making jokes to help put the interviewees at ease. The dean of the school was transplated from UNTHSC to come to Touro, and he's very upbeat about the program as well. The day was well-organized and ran smoothly -- even the boxed lunches were decent. If you have in mind a medical school that has a campus - then Touro is NOT the place for you though - its just one building. Also, because Nevada is almost in last place in the 50 students for doctor/patient ratio the school REALLY wants you to graduate and then practice there as well, aka stay in Nevada. The interview itself was extremely relaxed.... but again, other people had really difficult questions - so it could be either. Also, one of the interviewers made a strong mention about how well physicians are paid in the area -- so if you like money..... then attending school at Touro is the way to go ;)
-
Roger Corbman is awesome. I wish all schools had an admissions director like him. I would go to Touro just because of him. The school seemed very small, kind of like a high school. Its in a big warehouse right next to a car dealer. I think I would prefer a bit more of a traditional academic setting. The students were enthusiastic for the most part. They talked very highly about all of their instructors, especially the OMM program. I was impressed with the OMM professors and facilities. All of the students were unhappy about the new 80% required attendance policy, however. There were about 10 applicants on our interview day. Two recommendations gleaned from observing my fellow interviewees: 1 - don't bring your significant other to your interview, even if Roger says its okay, that's just weird 2 - make sure you have a suit and that it actually fits properly. Getting your pants hemmed to the actual length of your legs is not very expensive.
-
Overall it was more laid back than I anticipated. The interviewers talked as much as I did, if not more.
-
The interview experience was very good. The faculty is great, friendly, and will be very helpful. They have partnership with UNLV for actors. Their is basically no competition with residence for your clinical rotations since their is no other medical school in the area.
-
Overall, the day ran very smoothly. Very well organized, even though we had a 30 minute fire alarm. At least we got to enjoy the 100 degree heat outside in our suits! Mr. Corbman is very helpful and easy to talk to. The whole day was built around trying to have a stress-free environment and to be at ease. The interviews went quickly and they were more of a conversation.
-
It was a pretty good day. Very laid back and relaxing. They really try to make you relax and have a good time. The day was organized and went smoothly, even though we had a 30 min fire alarm where we stood in the heat outside. Overall, it was a great experience.
-
There was very little stress. It was more like a conversation. They seemed really interested in what I was saying.
-
I was impressed by it because of the negative reviews on SDN about it being just a warehouse and all, but overall this school would only act as a back up school. I was accepted to Touro NY the day before the interview so I had to evaluate Touro NV as compared to NY. It didnt even compare.
-
I actually had fun during the interview. The school did a great job in allowing interviewees to feel at ease and comfortable.
-
See above... I just wish that they had tried to get to know ME more than they tried to get to know my grades/scores. When they didn't give up on my grades, I started to get frustrated and feel down so I'm not sure how my interview went in the long run.
-
Overall, the interview experience was very pleasant. The faculty and students appeared genuinely enthusiastic about Touro's program. Roger Corbman is a wonderful admissions director. Henderson is a very nice suburb, close enough yet far enough from the strip.
-
Very impressed with the facility and the enthusiam and sincerity of faculty and students.
-
It was great! A few direct questions, but I loved the experience.
-
I apologize that my interview feedback isn't very helpful in preparing, but the fact of the matter is that the whole experience is very positive! No tricky interview questions. The interviewers, Roger Corbman, and the students are all very helpful and enthusiastic. They really just want to make sure you're a good match for the school and vice-versa.
-
Overall a very positive experience. School is low key and very friendly. Facility wise, you have everything you need, given nothing is fancy as you would find in more of the traditional schools.
-
The entire day was great. Everybody was helpful and offered their opinions about anything you asked. The school is developing the program around the students which is great. Overall, everyone was friendly and warm to all of us.
-
Overall, an interesting experience and pretty laid back. Since I'm considered an average student, I felt I was defending my application the whole time. Seemed as if it was the first time they had seen my application. If you like a close-knit school and are okay with a young program, then this is the school for you.
-
it was alot less stressfull then my other interviews (5)
-
Pretty relaxed, good interviewers
-
Overall the interview experience was grea. It was my first interview so I was quite nervous. As you'll see on this feedback forum Roger Corbman is a great person. As I said before the positive vibe around the school and amongst the faculty is great. I made sure to write down directions from my hotel and, sure enough, the taxi driver didn't have a clue how to get there. Make sure to eat a good breakfast before. Be yourself. Good luck.
-
THe school is a good school if you like a small setting and not the big university life like you'd see at des moines. THe faculty and the staff are more than helpful and they have a open door policy. The facitlities are top notch as its a new school. They obviously lack the social life aspect as the school is in the middle of nowhere but you'll find ways to entertain yourself. Roger corbman is very helpful and funny. he'll be your go to guy at the school. be nice to him if you get an interview. the guy has a lot of weight. All in all the interview is very relaxed. they'll grill you on your grades if you have a lot of C's. but its very laid back and relaxed.
-
The professor concentrated on my application and asked about my scores, research, etc. whereas the other interviewer asked more broad questions. I was unsure of their reactions towards me. Overall the interview was pleasant; just a little stressful because I did not want to mess up.
-
Pretty good. Everyone talks about Roger Corbman, and he is really nice and breaks the ice well. Very good at his job of getting the interviewees to relax. However the Dean, Dr. Forman, is great as well. He is very open about the school and everything going on. He sells the school on its mission and goals, and he does not sell himself. I think going to school under a Dean like him will be something all the students at Touro look back upon and realize how lucky they were. Regarding the actual interview, so conversational I had a hard time remembering what questions I was asked. I was chatting with the female interviewer on the way to the room, and we walked in already in a discussion completely unrelated to medicine. Very laid back & friendly. Other school should take notes. If you want to find out about the prospective students, get them to open up by talking about other interests, then sneak the semi-masked medical related question in there unexpectedly. You'll avoid those cookie-cutter answers.
-
Overall I think it was a very good experience. I think Roger Corbman is hilarious and was incredibly amiable to each of us, his goal was mainly to calm our nerves. The dean was also incredibly honest and upfront about the challenges that the school might confront from time to time because it is still relatively new. However, it was apparent that a lot of growth has occurred over just these past years. It's also very apparent that the faculty here try their best to assist their students as much as possible, starting w. an ''open door policy.'' Overall, the school has amazing facilities (check out their anatomy lab), great faculty, and suburban feel surrounding the university. I predict and really believe that this school and its graduates will eventually make a very positive impact on the community of nevada, opening doors for their students all over Nevada and exposing them to very interesting cases and possibly rotations. Everyone including the interviewers try their best to emphasize a very conversational setting. I can definitely vouche and say that they did a successful job accomplishing their goal.
-
It was my first interview so I was reaaaaaally nervous! I think it went well but I won't know until Friday. They do an excellent job of making you feel at ease and by the time your interview rolls around you're ready to ''have a conversation''. (Oh yes, the sandwiches we were supposed to have for lunch never came, and Roger treated all 11 of us to lunch at a diner. That was pretty sweet.)
-
Roger Corbman, (director of admissions) is the nicest guy in the world and he tried to make everyone more comfortable and relaxed throughout the day. He emphasized that the interview was meant to be a conversation and to just be yourself. The Students seemed to really like the school and the faculty seemed very nice and acommadating. However, they REALLY want students who will stay in the area after med school. Once they found out I was from the east coast they grilled me about the reasons I wanted to attend Touro.
-
It was good-unexpectedly i got in
-
In the morning, tensions were high; students bunched up in groups and we were trying to get a feel for each other. Eventually, the tension eased up once Roger Corbman introduced himself and led us to the admissions office. We were informed about Touro University and its roots of Touro College. The dean also spent about 1 hour with us and really displayed how much he cared about teaching and advancing the experience of the students. Thereafter, some people were led to individual interviews while others met with current OMS students. After, we were led on a tour and finally had lunch with our colleagues. Overall, if you like the hustle and bustle and antagonistic nature of Pre-med lifestyle where it is ''kill or be killed,'' this is definitely not the school for you. However, if you like a place where the staff as well as your peers will push you to your limit and help you along the way, then definitely this is a place for you.
-
The school was very unprofessional. (While the director of admissions was being redundant about useless points, one of the students at the school was making funny gestures behind him). The students at the school were too segregated and did not seem too close to each other. I was very disappointed by the inside of the building. Although it wasn't worn out, it looked too gray and plain. Simply put, it does not look like a school.
-
Overall, I think this was a great place to have a first interview. It is very low key and very informal.
-
I personally didn't do that well, it was my first interview and I had the jitters. I just found out today that I got waitlisted and thats not too bad b/c if they do rank by MCAT I feel I have a good chance. But I did learn a lot about the school and I can use that to compare with other schools. Roger Corbman is a great person as you guys know, very on top of things, cordial and friendly. I was told by another school that you have to setup your clinical rotation years so its entirely up to you. If its true, take that as you will, I personally feel its a negative.
-
The interview was pretty laid back, mostly conversation except for one of my interviews, who just seemed skeptical the whole time. They stress continually that biochem and anatomy are hard for most first years, and even though I've had them both and teach anatomy on cadavers to undergrads, my interviewer still seemed skeptical that I was prepared enough. Henderson has no seasons, except for hot and really hot. If you want a campus like feel, and have statistics of a longstanding institution, this is not the place. But everyone is great there and it would be an excellent education. They do contradict themselves in that they want you to pick the right school even if its not them, yet they only give you two weeks to decide and put down $2000 if you're offered a spot. Also, if you get put on the wait list and you don't have strong MCAT scores, then forget it - last year they ranked the wait list by MCAT scores.
-
They asked me the usual: Why doc? Why DO? Why our school? It seemed like they were talking to me most of the time. It was laid back. Someone knocked, the phone rang, and the fax machine went off. But all that just made the whole process really informal, and in a strange way, it made me feel comfortable. For the record, they were feeling really back about all of this, and hence they didn't grill me with any ethics or health-care policy.
-
The overall experience was good. I was really nervous and left with a really mixed impression of the school. My heart was saying yes and my brain yes and no...I just think their biggest plus is the tremendous growth of the area relative to the need for healthcare. Again, the atmosphere was small, helpful, friendly, casual, open door. I just have issues with the location...But I guess you can't have it all when you're used to cosmopolitan... lots of resdency and rotation spots, friendly all AND in a nice urban city like LA, Chicago, NY (which I believe Vegas will BECOME)...
-
In 3 days I was turned around from skeptical of Henderson to believing that I could live there esp. for a minimum of 4 years if I attended school there. the staff at the school were all great, the students seemed very close and non-competitive with the academics. It seems like an environment I would like to study in. It is a new school with no graduates to speak of as of yet but it looks promising. I would STRONGLY consider attending if accepted. I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND visiting if invited for an interview.
-
overall a positive experience. I would definetly consider going to school here if I was offered an acceptance.
-
pleasantly surprised...good school, involved faculty, nice students...not too impressed with interviewing tactic though (anyone can see through the
-
Students and faculty are wonderful! Enjoyed the tour, low pressure format of two MS/PhD faculty for 30 min. It was my first interview and I enjoyed it even though I am a average applicant.
-
first we went into a conference room and went around the table introducing ourselves. the dean talked to us, then the financial aid representative, and then roger corbman. we were split into groups and while group #1 was getting a tour, group #2 remained in the conference room and was interviewed one at a time. afterward we had lunch and talked to roger and the day was over.
-
Very disappointing! Apparently they are so desperate for students that they interview anyone who meets their minimum qualifications.
-
The experience was great. Roger Corbman does a great job of making you feel comfortable. I think I would have had a better interview if I wasn't so tired from messed up travel plans.
-
The interview lasted about 30 minutes. I was interviewed by two D.O. phycians. The questions were very basic were all centered around my application, more or less.
-
What a quick interview day! We were done by 12:30 and ate lunch. The day started at 9:30 when we went into a conference room, chatted with the dean and Roger Corbman. He's an awesome guy who will do anything and everything to help someone with the med school process. We also got the chat with financial aid, but it wasn't anything new for me. There were two groups; one toured while the other interviewed and then we switched. While waiting for the interview, a few students came in for Q and A's. The interview itself was cake. They asked me a couple questions about my file, said I had very strong credentials and pretty much were trying to sell the school and location to me. We had a group lunch with Roger (Kosher food). The sandwich was pretty sorry but I can look beyond the iffy food.
-
Great experience. It was my first interview so naturally, I was nervous, but I couldn't have asked for a more relaxed and laid-back atmosphere. Try to schedule this interview first if it's your first one. It will really put you at ease and make you more confident for you rother interviews.
-
Very enjoyable, instructive, and low-stress. The director of admissions, Roger Corbman is incredible. He truly goes out of his way to make each person feel comfortable and appreciated, and encourages everyone to do what will make them happy-regardless of which school they choose.
-
This was my first interview (I applied late), so I was really nervous. But the first thing that happened when I got to the school was I met other interviewees who were waiting in the lobby. I was joking with them about the SDN posting that said the surrounding area goes "Toyota Dealer, Honda Dealer...med school", and just as I finished saying that, Roger Corbman came out and (I think) heard me! Anyway, we met in a small room and were given a presentation on the school, and introduced ourselves. My interview was supposed to be at 9:30 AM, but didn't happen until 11:30 AM, which threw me off a bit. I was REEALLY nervous for the interview (again it was my first one). The two faculty that interviewed me were obviously highly intelligent and intensely serious. They definitely made me feel like I was not going to get in, but I did! I got the feeling the interview experience was so intense because it was late March, and they were accepting most people by that point, but wanted interviewees to feel lucky if they did get accepted. But I'm mistrustful by nature :o). Overall, the school was really impressive. It's curriculum is solid, the faculty are knowledgable, and the students seemed great. The student who gave us a tour of the campus was the nicest guy. I did get into the school, and am happily accepting their offer even though I was accepted elsewhere too.
-
I think it was great. The students and staff were very friendly and enthusiastic. The facilities are great. I would recommend the school.
-
The most laid back interview by far. The way they interview is that they have two people interview each student. One person is usually a faculty member I think, and the other is just a member of the staff. I had a Histology professor and the Vice President's Secretary.
-
Conference room for some introductions and information, Tour/Interviews (they split us up while the interview were going on). Lunch, then left around 1pm.
-
First of all, it was only one interviewer (a D.O.) because the other was sick that day. It couldn't have gone any better. It was really just a conversation, only three questions. The reason it was 40 minutes long is that the interviewer and I were getting along very well, and just ended up talking that long. At the end, he was even telling me Vegas would be an excellent area for my father and sister to move their practices and how we should look into investing in a condo. At the end of the interview, he told me I interviewed very well and he hoped to see me there next fall. And just as a note, I'm by no means an exemplary candidate as far as stats go, I have about 5 C's in science classes. After Nova, this is my top pick. Great area with a booming economy and medical field, and great school.
-
Overall, I had a great time at the interview. Most, if not all of my questions were answered throughly. I feel that TUCOM-NV has a lot of potential as an institution for higher education in the healthcare professions.
-
like talking with my grandfather. Dr. Leppi (anatomy professor) is very nice and I can't wait to work with him in the lab.
-
Great. Roger the admissions guy is really funny and honest about the everything. Everyone makes you feel welcome. We spent a few hrs in a confrence room, had a tour, had our interview, asked questions over lunch and left. It was very relaxing.
-
Great staff, decent setup, and easy very laid back interview.
-
Overall it was positive. I thought the interview was very laid back and conversational.
-
BLAH. Not impressed at all. I'm glad I had multiple acceptances already.
-
very chill, lax, and comfortable. Got to see an OMM class take place and was nice to just be able to casually ask questions and have a great time. Conversational is the best word to describe the experience
-
The interviewers were extremely nice and asked only fair questions. Probably helped me if anything.
-
Based on other comments on this site, I was a bit leery about my interview at TUCOM-LV. However, I have to say I came away very impressed. My biggest misgiving about the school is that it is so new. The very first graduating class is only in their second year right now, which means no one has taken boards yet. This makes it hard to gauge whether the school is doing a good job with their academic program. HOWEVER, I will say that the fact that the school is so new means there are HUGE opportunities there to help build the school and make it into something for the future. Clubs, outreach programs etc, that you might find already established at other schools are just waiting for students to come along and put them together...which seems like a very unique experience to be able to have. Plus, as the only medical school in LV, all the hospitals in the area are taking /planning to take the students for third and fourth year rotations. I'd say to ignore the complaints about the warehouse-like building...even though it looks funky from the outside, the inside is huge and they have all the facilities you'd expect from a medical school...including two lecture halls, anatomy and histology labs, basketball court, and a big gym.
-
Financial aid and admissions presentation coupled with the Dean dropping in to answer questions. Tour, interviews then lunch.
-
Great school. there are obviously going to be some growing pains but Las Vegas has really accepted them unlike AZCOM. Mark my words 10 years from now TOURO Las Vegas will be one of the best schools for a medical education. They have the nicest facilities and by far the most potential of any other school. As Las Vegas grows so will the school
-
They're beginnign to build a large research facility which should be open in November. Every med school should have research so I'm glad they have it in mind at least. Otherwise, the staff is very friendly. I was one of three ice hockey players who was interviewed by the same interviewer. She was quite amused.
-
Overall, very positive I enjoyed the good attitude that permeated everywhere and the "can do" attitude. The school is new under the accreditation of Tour-CA, but the facilities are brand new and state of the art. The H&P's practice rooms and Dr. Shadow opportunities are very cool.
-
Nice - not too stressful, full of useful information, and I met a lot of students and faculty.
-
Overall, I think I gave good answers, and a few so-so ones. The school is fantastic, and the school is now my first choice.
-
Overall, the actual interview was great. They were very interested in me as a person and they didn't attack or try to frustrate me. The school was different from the other schools I had visited prior to Touro, but that is not necessarily bad. The students were very nice and most of all, very honest.
-
I was pretty nervous during my interview since it was my first med school interview. However, the ladies who interviewed me were REALLY REALLY nice, and tried to make me as comfortable as possible. I was afraid that my nervousness would be a reason for me to get rejected, but I was accepted! I'm really excited to be attending school here next year. :)
-
The people (both staff and students) are what really make this college work! The interview was low stress and converstaional - relax and enjoy sharing your background and experiences with the interviewers. We laughed several times, and although they started out with questions to get things going, it evolved into a conversation. The interview will consist of one staff member and one teaching faculty. Be aware that anyone you meet at the school may be involved in evaluating you! They deefinately read your file and ask you questions right out of your application - Know your application! There was an error on the way that one of my classes was recorded or processed and, thankfully, they asked me about it - my file showed me short credit hours for the English hours requirement. I had a copy of my AACOMAS application and was able to clear it up right then.
-
Very unprofessional. Interviewers had little to no knowledge of my background and worse, had no idea where in my file to find relevant information. A wasted trip!
-
I was very unimpressed with the program and with the students. Students were unproffesional wearing tennis shoes, basketball shorts and t-shirts to conduct tours and interviews. The library was virtually non-existant. Overall - bad
-
It was very friendly, although I am always nervous when something means a lot to me. I think I hurt my chances of acceptance being on a leave of absence from another medical school. But everything went very well and I felt good after the interview. But I was waitlisted and am hoping for a spot. :)
-
EXTREMLY low stress, Roger Corbman the admissions director was very nice and very funny. The school had a very low stress, everyone knows everyone kind of feel to it.
-
I don't know if I would attend Touro "Las Vegas," I guess I'll see how my other interviews turn out. There are a lot of risks with going with a brand new school, and no one seems to address those during the day. It's like they're trying to distract you from looking at the entire picture and focusing on the highlights. For most of us, this is essentially a business decision, and we want the entire picture before laying out thousands of dollars to hold our seat if we're accepted. (Non refundable, BTW) The school is in the middle of the Mojave Desert... so if you like interminable shades of beige, brown, tan, and grey (including the sky, houses, and surrounding mountains and hills) you're going to love it. Or if you dig bars, strippers, and smoky casinos, you'll love it too.
-
Roger was excellent and informative. The interview session was laid back and very conversational, no tension or pressure was felt. Students came in (even though it was during block exams) to talk, socialize, ease our fears and the students seemed very sincere and close. Everyone was friendly and helpful.
-
The interview was probably the biggest selling point for me. My interviewers answered all my questions and convinced me this is an amazing school with lots of options and growth.
-
I felt at ease. Can't really gauge an outcome, you know how these things go.
-
Had a really great time. Everyone was accomadating, nice and definitely my first choice!!!
-
By far the most laid-back interview process. Even the interview itself was the most conversational. The orientation room is a bit cramped . . . it would be nice if they could use a larger room. But overall the experience was positive and I would attend there if I wasn't accepted at my first choice school.
-
Generally good
-
start at 9am, tour, discussion about school financial aide ect, then interview, eat, and leave.
-
From reading the posts about Mare Island, it was mentioned that Touro does not like to spend any of the tuition money on the students. That said, I went into this interview very optimistically because of SDN but have to say I left dissapointed. For over 30G a year, the library should be larger and there should be adequate study space for all of the students. There is no real student lounge. Also, it seems that parking will be impossible next year. There is no way they have enough spaces, look at the parking lot and see for yourself. Roger Corbman was great and the students I met were nice but for that kind of money with the facilities they have I will probably be looking elsewhere. It really seemed like a ripoff.
-
I had a great time at my interview. From talking to the admissions director, the dean, the students and the other applicants everything just fell into place. The interview itself was very low stress. Unlike other places that felt like I was being watched under a microscope and scrutinized everything was very relaxed. We even got lunch which was good as I definitely heard several stomachs growling.
-
I felt surprisingly more calm than I had expected due to my exposures to the students before the interview. The interview is a process that everyone has to go through. I think that if you prepare yourself well, you will do fine because questions that were asked were only to evaluate why they should accept you as a student.
-
Very laid back process, friendly faculty and students. Much enthusiasm from all about the program and growth of the school. Worried about the lack of programs at the moment and the fact that there is no indicator of how well students will do on boards. Las Vegas could be a strange place to live...
-
This was my first interview, so I was very nervous. But everyone there is extremely friendly and laid back. Weather is always nice, but it does get up to the triple digits in the summer. The campus is literally one giant, one-story building. It's kinda sad that you may not see the outside during the entire day of classes and such. Despite the campus, the school is still good.
-
Overall it was a positive experience. I liked the speech about needing to choose the school where you will be the happiest. Staff and students were very welcoming and enthusiastic and really wanted to sell the school to you.
-
I had already heard things about this school before the interview so I was pretty stoked to get this interview. I guess I was a bit worried about the idea that this is a new school without an establish history but I dont think that is going to be a problem. I would really love to attend this school.
-
Everything went realy well.
-
It was OK. The interviewers made me a little uneasy, even though they were very polite.
-
I had two ladies interview me, and both were absolutely awesome! The experience was very conversational, and although the interviewers did ask a few general questions you would expect, they really tried more to inquire about my personality rather than all of the leadership/extracurricular activities I've done. I was commended several times throughout the interview on everything from my writing to my speaking skills, desire to become a physician, and my knowledge of the current crises in medicine, something that made me very relaxed, yet encouraged all at the same time. It was very flattering. I couldn't have asked for anything else (well, except the acceptance, of which I hope is coming soon, lol).
-
It was unnerving. I was a little disappointed because I didn't feel that the interviewers got to know me as a person as much as I would have liked them to.
-
Interviewers were relaxed and to the point.
-
The interview was fine. The faculty and students I spoke with really want this school to be a success. I feel this goal will be reached.
-
The day was very laid back, especially considering the students had exams coming up. We were initially greeted by several students then by the director of admissions. The morning consisted of short information sessions about financial aid, housing, etc. The interview followed, followed by a tour of the school, then lunch. The entire time students dropped in to say hi, congratulate and give good luck.
-
My interview experience was good overall and I liked the school. I don't plan to attend this school however b/c of the immaturity of some of the students. I felt uncomfortable when talking to some of the male students(particularly one) and would not want to attend med school in that environment. The rest of the students were fine. I don't mean to sound like I don't like to have fun b/c I do but the behavoir from one student really went too far.
-
I really enjoyed the tour of the school and had a great experience interacting with the students.
-
I think it went well. All questions were about my history, academia, and experiences. My MCAT score came up! Everything was relative and I felt they were doing a great job. I came exactly on time and naturally I felt rushed and nervous. The interviewers put me at ease and I felt very comfortable after a few minutes.
-
Great experience, they brought food for lunch and truly encouraged a positive and non-competitive attitude and instead made a point that the whole school is based on a helping and comforting attitude. Everyone was so extremely nice. Loved it.
-
I was really impressed with how friendly everyone was. I consider myself an outgoing person and could easily see myself meshing with everyone at this school. There is also an open-door policy from what I gathered from the students to speak with any of the professors, faculty, finacial aid, etc. This is not a school (NV) that has a great history, but is rather in the process of creating a great history.
-
I had a great time. Everyone was friendly and happy to be there. Students were stopping by, hanging out, open and friendly even though they had tests coming up at the end of the week. The Dean stopped by and chatted with us, the Director of Admissions was open and welcoming, some of the other instructors stopped by as well. Everyone was just lovely. One of my interviewers ended up being called in that morning to sit in due to the original interviewer having a family emergency so the new interviewer didn't have time to read my file (which i forgot when the first question was, introduce yourself and tell me about yourself) but in the end, it felt more like i was having a conversation with the people interviewing me then an interview. The second interviewer who had come to get me really put me at ease on my was to the interview room and on the way back. It was very low stress.
-
We were greeted by students while waiting in the lobby before the start of the day. They were really friendly and eager to chat with us. Mr. Corbman was really nice too. The facilities are nice. I was impressed with the clinical exam rooms, anatomy lab (well ventilated!), wireless all over the campus. There is no cafeteria because all they can serve is Kosher food. The library may appear as if its lacking many things because there are a few books and many computers inside; but if you think about it, everything is going electronic anyway. Because its a new school they are still developing their rotations as well as many other things. I asked if they are going to have research opportunities after the first year during the summer but they said "we are in the process of talking with UNLV." Also, as a pioneering student you can set up new clubs and organizations considering there are only a couple as of this time. THe facultly really listen to the students and help them with their requests. The incoming class is going to be 100 (versus 77 of the first class). If you like a school that is new, has a small class size, and all that jazz, Touro NV is a good choice. Of course, you won't know exactly how well they will prepare you on boards and what hospitals will think about you when interviewing for residencies considering you went to a new school. So with all choices you wil make its a gamble! (no pun intended)
-
It was a great experience, I learned a lot about the school and a lot about myself! I left with no unanswered questions!
-
It was excellent. I'm actually torn between this school and my first choice COMP now after seeing and meeting everyone.
-
I was having the worst day of my life on this day...i was late to the interview, my hotel sucked, the interviewers were mean and i just wanted to go home the entire time...God knows how the hell I got accepted
-
Overall, a great experience. As mentioned many times on this site, the students are super enthusiastic and very passionate about the school and osteopathic medicine. The interview was very laid-back and relaxed, more like a conversation than an interrogation. I felt that they wanted to get to know me during the interview instead of rallying off a checklist of questions from paper. The curriculum and potential of the school is outstanding. It being their first year in operation, I was very impressed.
-
Good, I felt comforable
-
pleasant and educational
-
As many people have already posted previously, my interview was also very relaxed. Both of my interviewers really wanted to get to know me more in depth. They made the whole process easy and even enjoyable.
-
I thought the people at the school were fantastic! They were exceptionally helpful and tried to answer all the questions they could. It seemed as if they really were interested in recruiting you not like some other schools that make it seem like you are solely competing for them.
-
I'm really excited about this school. As I said earlier, the current students are very enthusiastic and truly nice people. The class cohesion seems really great--you have to see it for yourself. The interview itself is not too stressful. If you know yourself, you're good to go.
-
it was great...im going to go here!
-
This was an overall positive experience that prepared me well for the following interviews.
-
I enjoyed the experience. I was nervous, but felt I hid it well. I practiced many sample questions before hand and I hope it didn't seem like I was reading from a script when answering at the interview. Just relax!
-
The school is new and the students and staff were incredibly friendly. There are a few wrinkles to work out in the curriculum being a new school. For only being in their first year I was very impressed.
-
TUCOM-NV really impressed me considering that it is in its first year of operation. The faculty seems very accomodating and the students are obviously excited and happy to be there... I met the student body president and he was outgoing and personable as were all the students that took time out of their day to say hello to us...
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Applicants commonly suggested that the admissions office should improve their interview scheduling, provide longer interview times, ensure impartiality of interviewers, and enhance organization and transparency in the admissions process. Additionally, there were positive remarks about specific staff members and the overall responsiveness and efficiency of the admissions office.
-
Get interview dates straight and don't change schedule minutes before it starts.
-
Cut the 6 hour time block, just do the 20 minute interview
-
Ensure the admissions committee, such as the interviewers are aware that they should be impartial. Not mean and even possibly dismissive.
-
took 4 months to review my app, but i'll take what i can get this cycle...
-
Put the interviews earlier in the day, before the hours of presentations.
-
Twenty minutes for an interview is too short. Also would be nice to get to meet the interviewers beforehand just as a quick meet & greet before moving on with the day's agenda.
-
Change a lot. 1. "We believe a 20 minute interview is enough to get to know you." A) No, it's not B) That's so disrespectful to students who travel from so far and spend so much money to be there for the day. I could have had a skype interview and you would have gotten the same impression of whether or not i was a "normal person". 2. The lady leading the interview day, Ms. Kate Snow if I remember correctly, was incredibly kind, personable, talkative and knowledgeable about the school and surrounding area (being a local, duh). She deserves a raise. With that being said, she should not be on the admissions board. I understand why it would seem like a good idea for her to be after talking to interviewees in the more relaxed setting throughout the day, but here's what really happened. Once she told everyone she was on the admissions board and would be helping make decisions, every student there immediately changed their demeanor and became a suck-up towards her. Talking to the other interviewees throughout the day and then seeing them talk to her or in a group with her was a night and day difference. Everyone felt fake and it kind of felt like i was in a play the entire time i was there because of this.
-
NOTHING. THEY MAY BE THE BEST ADMISSIONS OFFICE OUT OF ALL MD/DO SCHOOLS!
-
None to note. They were helpful and informative on interview day.
-
Keep doing a great job
-
Would have liked to know how many seats were left/if we were interviewing for the waitlist exclusively. Maybe don't pair 2 faculty from the same dept for interviews as they tend to focus on the same areas.
-
None, everything was really smooth and well presented.
-
Admissions office runs very efficiently as is.
-
They're a little off-balance while they're trying to replace their director, so things should smooth
-
More informative website, particularly information specific to details about the LV campus.
-
The director is a really cool, nice guy - talks a ton but he really cares about students
-
I love the quick turn around!
-
There's a fairly quick turn around time with responses. Very thorough about the interview process.
-
Be more organized.
-
Thank you for being so responsive and friendly!
-
More organized interview process. The students appeared disheveled and sloppy.
-
Nothing. I have been pleased with the quick responses to all of my email questions and phone calls.
-
none they did great; the were fast and responsive
-
Great Job. Roger Corbman is what everyone says, I friendly jokester who is passionate about his job
-
Roger, you're the best
-
Nothing. They were wonderful and helpful in all ways.
-
None
-
None. Excellent response. Roger is the greatest!
-
keep on doing what you're doing.
-
you can send my letter of acceptance when its ready...
