2017-2018 Nova Southeastern University

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
It’s not set in stone but they are looking into
it. The member I talked to is not impressed with CASPer.
 
Rejected pre-II.

The e-mail said they only had 1200 completed applications, and offer 300-400 interview slots. So there's a realllyyy good chance you can get an interview from this school.

I just wonder, "how bad were my secondaries if I wasn't given an interview here, even with all those slots". I feel like I definitely had the research part down and VERY solid ECs. Meh.

Good luck everyone!

EDIT: Also in-state. Submitted my secondary around 2 weeks after came out.

I really wonder what they're going by or how they're making their decisions.

What're your stats?
 
Pre-II rejection.

Email says: 2000 primaries, 1200 secondaries, "300-400" candidates to interview for class of 50.
 
Anyone have any opportunity to change their interview date? I just received one but it doesn't work well with my schedule at all. Really want to interview here...

I had the same issue. I emailed Jamie and she was super helpful and got back to me with several available dates. Not sure how many are still available though...

Just sent her an email. Hopefully she will get back to me soon.

Also, does anyone know how many people have been accepted from any recent interviews? Would many of us just interviewing for the waitlist now?

I would say most likely yes. I think most of us are already interviewing for the waitlist since they are accepting only 50 people initially.

People relax. The class is still far from full. Pump the brakes on the "I'm interviewing for the waitlist" talk. If you are interviewing then your chance is as good as everyone else!

Best of luck at your upcoming interviews!

I like this guy. Thanks!

Going off that, those who've interviewed, any recommended resources to prep? Was the interview pretty high stress? Just curious to see how I should prepare
 
Anyone else on here see all these interview offers and rejections, and then panic because you still haven’t heard anything? I think I’ve refreshed my email every 5 minutes for the last two days because of you guys
 
Just do you guys know, nova will be letting the undergrads use the graduate dorms this year. So you guys can’t use them 🙁
 
its been 2-3 weeks since I bitched at them on here for saying "2-3 weeks"
 
I got an II here a while back but going through this thread I'm not sure how to feel as 300-400 interviewing for 50 spots seems kinda rough. Is this info confirmed? About to interview so im wondering now. Very thankful for the invite though because I love the school

Those are the numbers people got in their rejection letter. I wouldn't worry about it, just go in there and do you. You could very well be one of those 50!

And to expand on my buddy here, this acceptance to interview rate is pretty standard considering that Nova will probably end up giving 120 to 150 acceptances when everything shakes out through the whole cycle.

In other words, don’t sweat it for a minute.

I know that SDN is not representative of everyone, but based off the responses for thoe accepted on SDN and the likelihood of full or at least significant scholarships, I'm starting to think they won't have to accept that many over 50 students

People keep saying this in this thread, but y’all are out of your gourd. There are very, very few medical schools that have an acceptance:matriculation over 50%.

Also, even from the accepted pool, a lot of students may opt to go to more established programs, or their in state schools that offer them better financial aid.

Lets say 20 of the original 50 matriculate. Does it make sense that they will need to cycle through 70-100 people on the waitlist to fill those 30 seats?

Yes. You know things change as people get off waitlist at their favorite programs, yeah?

(Last comment on this neuroticism. Chill, folks. If it happens, it happens.)

understand that this is very easy for you to say now that you have been accepted. telling people to chill helps no one lol

The numbers are the numbers. I offer them because I too have gone through this cycle of neuroticism (twice) and it helped me break out of it when people used hard data to calibrate perspective.

The number are highly consistent, but they say nothing to context, so it’s useless to use contextualized hypotheticals.

right... but then you passive aggressively attack at the end. showing the numbers is enough to get the point across

I’ve used these numbers more than once. There’s no passive aggressiveness here, but maybe you’re right that the way I restate my point with emphasis comes off as too tough. To that I say this: I’ve shared information and resources widely in this thread and through PMs, so I can assure you it’s my intent to be totally helpful. If you want to continue this, PM me.

Does anyone from the 1/26 interview group know when we're going to hear back?
Click to expand...
it seems like at least two people heard back and were accepted last week. i'm with you still waiting, im thinking we will hear back this week, hopefully not just waitlist.
 
Does anyone know how many interview dates Nova has left?
 
Anyone have an idea what is going on with those of us who have not heard anything since submitting our secondary?
 
Also found a waitlisted email in my spam - 1/26 group. By the looks of the email, I guess they're going to be pulling waitlisted people off this month.

The wait list email that I received at the end of January stated that they were going to start selecting waitlist candidates on a rolling basis between March and June. Are you basing it off that?
