How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read AACOMAS and secondary applications, read catalog sent to me by Touro and looked at tucom.edu website

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of Dr. Haight and the student tour guide. T

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that students did not have much time to participate in volunteer/outreach activites and the lack of underrepresented students in medicine in terms of admission and eventual class makeup.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The fact that you have less than 2 weeks from the time you get your decision letter to pay a NON-REFUNDABLE $2000 deposit.

What are your general comments?

Low-stress group interviews that are really fun and enjoyable. Dr. Haight was so friendly, informative and most of all down to earth to all of us. We were the last group of interviewees in this half of the admissions cycle and are going to hear back from Touro by tomorrow. That is so fast and such a relief to the applicants. The other interviewees were so cool and made the whole day so much more enjoyable and low-stress.
