This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Sent my secondary back around Thanksgiving time. Should I email them for a status update?

I interviewed January 26. My stats are misleading (I'm very nontraditional), but my AMCAS Lizzy M would be in the high mid 60s.

Well, I've been out of Colorado since 2010, but if you're in the recent snow storm zone, I feel you!

Yep, it was 9 degrees in my neck of the woods yesterday.
 
Congratulations!

Fellow 1/26er here, I was thinking we had another week before decisions came out. Now waiting anxiously refreshing my email.

Oof! I will say, though, the only thing I don't miss is scraping windshields.

didn't think the admissions committee was meeting this week either, looks like they did

Me either. I find it kinda odd that only one person reported anything though.

Agreed. Not sure if I should be patient or send an email to Jaime. I don't want to be too aggressive but technically they told us "2-3 week turnaround".

Does anyone know how many interviews have taken place since 1/26?

I would hold off on that email and wait and see what happens next week. To be honest, I thought there was another interview group before 1/26. So, I'm surprised to see that no one else has commented on their status.

And I think there have been about 4 additional groups that have interviewed after us. Assuming they have been interviewing every Friday.

Id wait. I havent seen anyone from 1/19 with a decision yet.
Were there interviews on 1/19?
 
Hey guys! So I was browsing the Nova MD website today, and I think I found a pretty big update regarding the scholarships! I don't remember ever seeing this on the "scholarships" page, so I think it's a pretty new update.

Philanthropic Summary

#2 on the list says:

"$25 million gift
  • Named NSU’s Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine with an endowed fund for college and student scholarship support"
The cost to give a full ride for all four years for 50 is ~10 million. Soooo....

At my interview they said they would let us know before 4/30 about scholarships. Maybe they'll announce it at 2nd look?

So, at your interview they discussed the possibility of full tuition scholarships? Personally, I think that it would suck if they waited until 2nd look to announce...that leaves like a week to make (possibly) the most important decision of your life (and, as an aside...why announce a deposit if everyone is getting a full ride, that makes no sense whatsoever).

Yes, one of the deans (I think she was a dean), i forget her name said ideally they'd like to offer the entire class scholarships but that they have fundraising goals to meet first (this was before the Patel endowment). They said the only requirement for consideration was that you had your fafsa submitted. Someone asked when they would know and Dean Prichett said early spring, then someone else asked if they would have that info by 4/30 and he said yes, before then. UCF and FIU offered their charter classs full rides when they both opened. UNLV did the same last year. So it's becoming an expected thing I think. Have you gotten anything official about the deposit yet? I don't think it'll be much, maybe $150? So even if it's a full ride, i don't know what the deposit would go toward, the ipad they plan on giving everyone maybe?

Wait, now I'm a bit confused because my email from them says the following:

"Also, we will begin the scholarship review process before the end of February and notify recipients of awards in mid-March. Just to reiterate, all accepted candidates are automatically queued for scholarship review after notifying us of their intent to attend. Thus, if you have yet to submit your letter of intent and do plan on attending NSU MD in the fall, please remit the form to the Office of Admissions as soon as possible. "

Are we talking about something different?

Is this in your acceptance email? I don’t see anything about scholarships/financial aid mentioned in the email I got

That part was not in my acceptance email. I interviewed 1/12. When were you accepted?
 
I interviewed 1-5 accepted 2-7. I did not have that info in my acceptance email but I received a follow up email 2 weeks later (so they did properly follow their own suggested 2-3 week time frame that time) with the same information

Ah, okay. I haven't gotten a follow-up since my acceptance on 2/15. So that'll probably come next week then. Thanks!

But it kind of seems like we're talking about the same thing right? The timelines in your email match what they said at my interview.

Sorry, it wasn't accepted email but in a follow up email a couple weeks after the acceptance. I misread it since the email started with "Congratulations on your acceptance to the NSU Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine (NSU MD)". Sorry, on west coast time so it's early here lol

Has anyone been accepted off of the waitlist yet?
Click to expand...

A little too early for that. I don't even think they've filled up the class yet with acceptances. If you're on the waitlist, from what I've seen and been told, it won't be until earliest April that you'll hear anything.
