How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN feedback, schools website, my file

What impressed you positively?

Touro's focus on continual improvement. The anatomy lab was awesome. A lot of new things coming for future students to take advantage of. Faculty's open door policy. I actually liked the island...very nice.

What impressed you negatively?

Cost of living in the Bay area. A lot of bugs to be worked out in their new curriculum, so I would probably be a guinea pig. Tuition is expensive. $2,000 nonrefundable deposit to hold your spot.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If driving up from SFO, the traffic is not that bad!

What are your general comments?

Overall, I was somewhat impressed by the school. Great atmosphere, lots of improvements coming, and beautiful area. However, the clinical rotations are kind of a lottery (literally), so you would have to move around a lot.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
