Ive also been complete since mid October. (507/3.87). Haven't heard anything either. Would it be a good idea to call/email and ask for a status update, or is this generally looked down upon?

Yeah thats very true. I guess ill send an email then. Hopefully they'll see it as a "continued interest" sort of thing. Thanks!I feel like whenever I call into any admissions office to ask for any sort of update it is pointless because they give you such a scripted and automated message about how you should just wait for the committee to email you. However, I don't think it would hurt if you ask once in a while. Just don't do it every other week. To give you a time frame, I was complete around late August / Early Sept and got my II around late October for 11/16.
I have similar stats, was complete around late June/early July, and just got a II in November. You still have time.Ive also been complete since mid October. (507/3.87). Haven't heard anything either.

whats you MCAT score?II Today. Complete 12/6. Scheduled for 1/30.
I had a 505 when I applied, but will be retaking next monthwhats you MCAT score?
I guess we won't hear their decision by this week? It's been over a month. I was really hoping I would hear back from them before I make a deposit to other school that's due 18th.
This might sound extremely stupid but if the application portal says received next to everything does that mean I'm complete.
What kind of scholarship?I just got offered a scholarship. Which is odd cause I got accepted a while ago.
Just some money. I wasn’t really expecting anything. I would think all the money would go to Americans.What kind of scholarship?

I just received it. It’s probably merit based.Did you have to apply or how did you receive it?
What's the name of the scholarship? Are you international?I just received it. It’s probably merit based.
Congrats! Where else did you get in, if you dont mind me asking!Sending my rejection now after being accepted to two DOs I ranked higher. Hopefully this opens up a spot for one of you guys!

Is AZCOM one of top DO programs in the US?No problem! I got into KCU and AZCOM in addition to NSU, and for a few reasons (though it is a close tie) I have concluded AZCOM is a better fit for me than KCU.
Well... that concerns me a little bit.So I was looking through Nova's website this morning and just saw that they posted the pass rates for all 3 COMLEX exams. According to their website, the pass rate for level 1 was only 85.80 this past year! The pass rate for level 2 PE was not great either. This is quite concerning to me. Can any students comment on how the school is correcting for this if any?

My guess it is stated as first time pass rate, which is still around average.Well... that concerns me a little bit.
Although its been more than a month since I interviewed there. Still no decision. Nothing.
I think you mean that before 2017 you can take the COMSAE if you wishMy guess it is stated as first time pass rate, which is still around average.
Also I heard they just implemented the COMASE mock exam policy this year. From what I learned is that before 2017 you can take the comlex if you wish. In 2018, student must pass COMASE to take COMLEX.
This policy is already in place at many other DO schools.
Please correct me if wrong.
Yes that's correct.I think you mean that before 2017 you can take the COMSAE if you wish
I don't recall hearing anything about it to be honest. I can ask some friends that are current students if no one responds on here.Yes that's correct.
Did you recall the NSU dean mention the prescreen? I recall she said that the pre-screen will be in place for the current second year students.

Damn. That is a concerningly low pass rate.So I was looking through Nova's website this morning and just saw that they posted the pass rates for all 3 COMLEX exams.

It'd be nice if there were more current students here to comment on this. I wonder if there were some new things/professors/circumstances or something that led to this.Damn. That is a concerningly low pass rate.
Literally in the same position lol.Sitting here in snowy New York wondering when Nova will throw an II at me
Will they be sending more interview invites before the new year?Literally in the same position lol.
Highly unlikely. The admission team are away for Christmas alreadyWill they be sending more interview invites before the new year?
Oh man ☹️Highly unlikely. The admission team are away for Christmas already
I recently received an II- don't lose hope!Highly unlikely. The admission team are away for Christmas already
I recently received an II- don't lose hope!
Don't recall the exact date. Early August? Late July?

Do you know if NSU have some kinds of board exam pre-screen policy?I’m a few years out from Nova but I’ll say that passing boards is more based on your personal study time then anything Nova can do. They definitely prepare you well for the PE. A few kids failed it in my class because they thought they could be slick and get around doing OMM. As long as you put in the time you will do fine on boards. You are better off going somewhere that you will be happy and is a good fit. You will be studying non stop your first two years. Best of luck to you.
when did you interview?It's about to be a month on Thursday since I interviewed. I can't imagine it taking longer than a month to find out whether or not we have been accepted.

All due respect, but when ~14% of a large class fails Level 1, it's hard to not put significant blame on the school.I’m a few years out from Nova but I’ll say that passing boards is more based on your personal study time then anything Nova can do.

Usually with pre-screen policy in place, schools usuallt screens out roughly 15-25 the students in the class who failed COMSAE.All due respect, but when ~14% of a large class fails Level 1, it's hard to not put significant blame on the school.
I understand it's exciting to get caught up in getting an interview/acceptance to Nova... but current applicants really should do some research into why an established school like this doesn't prepare their students to pass the most important board exam adequately.

well interviewed 11/16 so waiting patiently since they said the admissions met up 12/1 so hoping the before christmas decisions is true
