Knew my application, SDN feedback, Touro webpage

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the admissions staff, in particular Dr. Haight. The anatomy lab, nice peaceful location, close to the water. I was very impressed by the caliber of the students I interviewed with - they were very accomplished and friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that there is no med. center, the facilities were very sparce (although the anatomy lab was great). I really enjoyed Dr. Haight although it doesn't make sense that the school saves students money by not requiring a secondary if they don't stand a chance, but then they turn around and demand 2,000 dollars (non-refundable) to hold a place. It seems very hypocritical and a large burden to place on students when they know that we could be waiting on other schools.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I had formed a negative opinion of the school via responses on this website, however I believe a very solid medical education could be acheived at this college.

What are your general comments?

There were five students to four interviewers, and we basically went in turn answering the various questions. It was really interesting to hear other applicants respond to questions - although I started to compare myself with them and worried about how I would look next to them.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
