This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Were there any other interview groups between 12/15 and 1/5?
 
Which days of the week did they conduct interviews? Mine was a Friday.

Edit: Never mind, I answered my own question.

Accepted. Interviewed 12/15. I am so excited. I Loved Nova and everything they stood for.

If you have yet to interview or are waiting to hear back, both Post-II and Pre-II, do not fret until the dreaded R comes. From what they told me at our interview day they are interviewing 360 total candidates this cycle. I know that many have been disappointed by the three week turnaround they mentioned in the submission/complete email but they are working hard to review applications throughly. I urge you to try and be patient in this difficult time. After meeting the admissions staff, I know they are trying their very best to look at all the applicants holistically. If you have not heard, you are defiantly still in the running. It is an incredibly stressful process for me personally, one which almost broke my will.

I love each and every one of you and wish you nothing but the best in your future medical school endeavors. I hope you join me in becoming future innovators and trailblazers as an MS1 at Nova. PM if you want to know more about Nova or my app.

Best of Wishes,

JohnJacobJungler

P.S. there are so many emojis, and so little space to use them+pity+, SDN can you upload these emojis into my iphone, they are so lit.:biglove:

I loved everything about the interview day from how the actual interviews were conducted right down to how the staff welcomed me when I walked into the building (when I entered a staff member helped me fix the collar on my jacket to help me look presentable. If you ever read this, just know I can't thank you enough so I did it three times: thank you thank you thank you :laugh: ) . When I interviewed, I met an incredible group of amazing applicants from all across the country. In fact, I met someone who laid the foundations of an amazing friendship. I know that they will make an excellent doctor and I hope that they have been accepted with me.

Me either. One of us should probably throw an email out to admissions. Probably work best with at least one of the admins being on NSU admissions...for verification purposes and such.
 
From the "Giving" page on Nova's MD site:

"The rousing success and early completion of NSU’s $250 million Realizing Potential philanthropic campaign reflect high donor confidence in NSU’s ability to turn aspirations into reality. This includes the $25 million gift from the Drs. Kiran and Pallavi Patel Family Foundation, Inc. to provide scholarships for promising students needing financial support to attend medical school. This is a tangible example of how one family can make a lasting impact on so many lives."

Makes me think they are not going to give out free tuition from the recent $25 million gift unless there is a financial need from students.

That’s a very vague stagement. Most students need financial support to attend med school in the form of loans. We just gotta wait and see

That’s a good point. Average student does need financial help in the form of grants, loans etc.

I would also add/reiterate that they *did* say at my interview date that the goal was to provide full-tuition scholarships to everyone. My understanding is it really is just a matter of getting the necessary donations, which they very well may have done at this point.

Some decisions have already gone out this week, no? I’d assume there won’t be anything new sent out until next week.
 
I’m really hoping it’s today for 1/5 people

well if the homies met yesterday (someone said they meet on thursdays) then maybe we'll get something after the friday interview is over
 
Is it past the deadline to submit a secondary? I had a technical glitch and it took them almost a month to fix it and release my secondary... not sure if I'm missing it but I can't find a deadline anywhere.

February 28th deadline to submit secondary is on the "timeline and key dates" page on their website.
 
Interviewed today, just providing additional information

1. <2000 applications received
2. Committee plans to give out 130 acceptances
3. 16 acceptances across 4 interview dates (80 people?) have been given out. They just looked at the interviews from the first week of January this past week
4. Large focus on leadership, teaching and innovation
5. Current focus is providing scholarships to students in need. They said even with the donation this past weekend they are unsure if they could fund the inaugural class, even for 2 years
6. There are lectures, just not mandatory. It's not all PBL, but a significant chunk is
7. Anatomy has been shortened down and is less intensive than other courses offered to make room for other things
8. 4 weeks for admissions decisions. No one will be rejected post-interview this cycle

Thanks for the info. That’s interesting no one will be rejected post-interview. Also sounds like 1/5 group will be getting decisions next week.
 
To all of the accepted students: Is there a deadline for deposit after you've been accepted? If so, how long is that deadline?

Has anyone from 1/5 received an acceptance email yet? Or do you think all acceptance, waitlist, and reject emails will go out next week for 1/5?
 
They said today that 1/5 was reviewed at the meeting yesterday, so I assume they will find out beginning of next week seeing how Fridays are busy with interviews. The 16 acceptances were from the initial three interview days, so averaging ~5 acceptances per interview. Rest receive waitlist. They expect to interview 360 candidates, so with 130 acceptances going out, we have a 36% chance! Good luck!

That math 😕
 
Interesting so I guess those of us from 1/5 will hear about acceptance/waitlist next week. Here's hoping they tell us if we are waitlisted as soon as they decide not to send us an acceptance

This is great info - thanks so much!

Considering that there arent going to be any post-interview Rs, I’d say those that don’t hear back immediately (i.e., when others from their interview day hear back) are probably in the “deferred review” group. So that’s good to know!
