Thoroughly research their website and learn everything you can about their Physician Associate program. Touro University takes pride in being a Jewish-sponsored school and celebrates diversity and serving under-represented comminutes. As they state on their website, some of their core values are "to exemplify Judaic values of social justice, intellectual pursuit and service to humanity, Touro University students will demonstrate the ability to: Use knowledge, skills and effective communication to benefit diverse communities. Collaborate across disciplines toward a common goal. Think critically to make evidence-informed decisions and evaluate conclusions in a real world context. Act in a professional and ethical manner." Additionally, one of their requirements is "all students complete Safe Zone training (LGBTQI)."
These are just some of the many similar statements they repeat throughout their website. Not only are your admissions interviewers looking for what makes you unique and how your qualities make you stand out from the other students wishing to attend Touro University, but they are also looking to admit students who most closely relate to and embrace their values. Consider this when you offer the primary reason they should choose you over another student. Align yourself with the qualities they value in their alumni. Identify how you already embrace their values. The more you fit their mold, the better your chances are of admittance.

"I believe I am the strongest student for your physician assistant program because I am incredibly dedicated to my professional and personal development. Since beginning my Bachelor's degree, I have committed to taking a personal development workshop twice per year. The topics have included communication, personability, multi-tasking, organization, and even persuasive writing. I plan to take these skills and apply them to my graduate studies."
