What are your general comments?
I really enjoyed myself and it seems like the staff, students, and interviewers all enjoy being at Touro - they have some kinks to work out, still growing...
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
So tell us about yourself and why you're interested in Touro.
What was the most interesting question?
Do you see yourself in the future working in an office or hospital here in Harlem? Or in a suburb?
How did you prepare for the interview?
sdn, reviewed primary and secondary app, mock interview
What was the most difficult question?
none - just made an effort to try and mention all the good things!
What impressed you positively?
open and friendliness of students, staff - even the Dean spoke to us twice; seems like they have a great tight-knit community; great location and clinical opportunities there; reduced hours on Friday/Sat but building is still accessible; nice facilities, like gross anatomy lab and mock clinical settings;
What impressed you negatively?
Small building and library but good that certain areas are always accessible to students; don't know how crowded the building will get when they finish the 4th and 5th floors (for research area, gym, and another graduate program); no clear statements made on clinical rotations during the 3rd and 4th years...
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
nothing - I did a lot of research about the school before coming here and even saw the building, got a tour, the day before my interview. Not that the building was hard to find (just odd doorway location), and it was nice to not be nervous about getting lost.
