What impressed you positively?

NYC!!! I loved Harlem, and the school had great facilities at this location. Good public transportation. I loved that we heard from the Dean and several students, as well as met faculty during the interview itself. Students seemed honest about flaws but pleased with overall experience.

What are your general comments?

I felt like I really learned a lot on the interview day. I also feel like TouroCOM is honest in its commitment to the underserved and has real resources to include this as a part of medical education. Aside from the glass library, nothing stuck out as outstanding in the world of medical schools, but I left the interview wanting to be accepted so bad it hurt.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It was a nice interview day. I would have appreciated a presentation about school and curriculum. Precision on board scores also would have been good.
