"Visiting TUCOM was quite an unusual experience. The Hotel shuttle guy was the best part of the trip! He was hilarious and somehow knew everything about the interview day... We met with Dr. Haight at 9am at the hotel where he was supposed to give us a briefing about TUCOM. Basically, he spent about 45 minutes talking about our chances of acceptance. He went over all the numbers...over and over again. Sure, it was nice knowing that we had a good chance of acceptance (which I received the following week) but he hardly talked about the school.... and throughout the entire day, not one person told us anything about the curriculum!! I was pretty nervous about the panel interview, but it is really nothing to worry about as long as you are bringing interesting experiences to the table. It was also really interesting to hear how your fellow applicants answer similar questions. It seemed to me that only the people who didn't have a lot of experiences were asked the standard "Why DO not MD," "Why Touro" etc... types of questions. But, there are no "personal" questions asked about specific grades, or MCAT scores... " Report Response
