Hello everyone, I'm a M1 at NSU MD. I'm here if you have any questions regarding the program or anything you wanna know.

Hi Miguel! Thank you for offering your help, I wanted to know if there is any unique characteristics of the NSU program that attracted you to the school if you had to decide between this one and other florida schools.
Also, do you have any type of clinical exposure do you get during the first year and second?
 
Personally, the class size of the program attracted me. After the interview and from reading on the website and stuff I liked the curriculum overall. I also wanted to stay near home so that played a factor as well. As of clinical experience, during the first semester you start in the "Practice of Medicine" block where you learn basic clinical stuff such as history taking and physical exams. Now being in the second semester, we have weekly preceptorship with a physician where you may do these things on real patients. The extent of what you do will depend mainly between you and your preceptor.
 
@MiguelB Do you really have to go to class for 2hrs 5 days a week the first year? What do you do during the daily PBL, do you learn content or just practice cases?
 
Hello all! I interviewed here on 1/24... still haven’t heard my admission status. How long did it take you to receive your status post interview? Additionally, is it sent through email or through snail mail?

Also an M1 and can answer this. You have pbl, Monday, Wednesday and Friday for 2 hours, where you go through clinical cases and apply content learned. Tbl for 2 hours on Thursdays. Tuesdays are longer days with anatomy and practice of medicine. If you guys have any questions, dm me or 00/5 here and I can try to answer.

Hi! Hope you are doing well. Thanks for sharing. I don't think your privacy options allow DM right now.
 
Does anyone here who received an acceptance see the option to Plan to Enroll on AMCAS? I don't see it yet

Congrats! 🙂 Did you send them a letter of interest or any updates after you were placed on the WL?

I didn't send them anything. I remember they told us on interview day that literally 99% of us would be placed on the WL until they can review a larger body of candidates. So I just patiently waited, but I also felt extremely confident about my MMI. Ha.

Did anyone get a decision back within 2 weeks like they said or are they late for everyone ?

I don't think they gave us a timeline on my interview day (2/14), but given the trend of previous posts in the thread, I think 2 weeks is a very optimistic estimate. Most people seem to have taken >4-6 weeks to receive a decision.
 
For anyone who still has not heard anything since submitting secondary (I've been complete since October), I called on 1/29 for an update and was told I would prob hear something within 2 weeks. 2/19 rolls around, so I call again to ask for an update. Was told it would prob be a couple weeks. Just FYI for anyone who has painfully been left on read.

For the M1's, how much of the tuition do the scholarships approx cover at Nova? And what are these scholarships based on, MCAT/GPA, or other stuff?
Click to expand...

Scholarships range from partial - full, and I don’t think anyone could tell you with credibility how many students have which. I also don’t think any of us know how exactly the respective committees choose which incoming students get them.
 
hello fam,

i understand yall signed an NDA, but may i ask if the MMI is acting or discussion based?

Hi, minimum two hours are mandatory which exclude lectures. These are PBL, TBL, and also HSF (Human Structure and Function) and the Practice of medicine course. One day of the week will be long, 8-5pm. The curriculum is subject to modifications depending on the changes the program may want to implement. In PBL you review information and also learn new, I try to stay ahead so I can provide more to case discussions, these very by case also. Some may be more review, others may be almost all new information.

Got an interview invite yesterday. Date was in early April which surprised me as most schools are finishing up their seasons now
Click to expand...

Also got an interview yesterday. I had previously emailed the admissions coordinator asking for an update on the status of my application given that we were well into the cycle. I was not expecting an invite at all and I am honestly so pleasantly surprised at the news.
 
Hi all, I am a current accepted student and I was wondering if any important emails were sent out to accepted students in the past 10 days. There was something wrong with my email account and I only noticed yesterday that my incoming emails were not coming through.
 
Hey my interview date is probably going to be shifted online or postponed due to coronavirus. Any idea how an online MMI will work?
