How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read the posts on SDN's Touro thread, I used this feedback section, I researched Harlem's health issues on the internet, I researched the status of New York medicine in magazine articles, including a New York Magazine article on the state of NYC's hospitals, I read the Touro website, I read a book and researched the internet on OMT techniques, and a I read a book (titled Landmark) on Obama's Health Care Law

What impressed you positively?

The brand new, state-of-the-art facilities were impressive.

What impressed you negatively?

The weather sucked that day; I got soaked with freezing rain.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known the correct way to the school so that I didn't walk around lost in the freezing rain and snowy slush for 45 minutes.

What are your general comments?

Nice place. Touro's website does not do the school justice.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
