How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my file and personal statements, read through SDN, talked with a Touro student, meditation!

What impressed you positively?

Everything! Group was really accomplished and personable, of course Dr. Haight was the epitomy of a great admissions director, interviewing faculty were warm and very welcoming

What impressed you negatively?

Didn't get a thorough tour and since we were in the middle of midterms, students seemed grumpy and sort of rude to us, like we were new freshmen in high school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I need to be careful of toxic waste seeping into my drinking water (Mare Island is a dilapidated military complex)

What are your general comments?

It was my first interview, and thanks to an early acceptance, my last! I still have 7 interviews scheduled, but why bother? Touro is relaxed but academically rigorous, its close to my family and I feel like all the students play critical roles in the positive dynamic of the school. I can't wait until next August!
