What are your general comments?
Overall, the actual interview was great. They were very interested in me as a person and they didn't attack or try to frustrate me. The school was different from the other schools I had visited prior to Touro, but that is not necessarily bad. The students were very nice and most of all, very honest.

What was the most interesting question?
Do you plan on working in Nevada after you graduate?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, School issued booklet, web-site, basic med school prep books
What impressed you positively?
How nice everyone is to each other. They (including the professors) seem like a close group with open door access to the professors etc. They are an aggresive school with fantastic plans for the future. The demand for physicians is great in Las Vegas, and they are practically begging Touro for more medical students for rotations etc. Roger is great. He really wants you to be happy with you choice of medical school, no matter where it is. The dean is also great and willing to help. The facilities are a work in progress but given the fact that they have been open for only 1.5 years, things are actually pretty nice.
What impressed you negatively?
The fact that your down-payment on the school is $2,000 due only 2 weeks after you are accepted. The library is pretty much NON EXISTENT. Parking will also become a problem as the # of students attending continue to increase.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How much I would really enjoy the school and the faculty. I must admitt it, it wasn't at the top of my list but after the interview etc, I would definately consider it as a top choice. It really shocked me that this new school has developed this much so quickly.
