TouroCOM exercises great discernment when considering which applicants to admit into its programs. It's reported that the school has a 76% acceptance rate.
The admissions team wants to know that you have thought out all options and scenarios if you are not accepted to Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine this cycle.
The way you answer this question should show the interviewers that your interest in the medical field goes deeper than your immediate acceptance. Show the admissions team that you have confidence and drive; it would take more than one rejection to keep you down.

"I understand that Touro is very selective and that the acceptance rate to the College of Osteopathic Medicine is around 76 percent. I believe I am a strong candidate; however, should I not be accepted the first time, I plan to reapply the following year. I would take that time to upgrade any required courses and prepare a more robust application. My life's goal is to become a physician, and I won't take one rejection as a final answer. I will continue to work hard to earn acceptance into med school."
