It seems that has gone missing lol. Does anyone know the link to application portal?
On the acceptance letter in the acceptance email, there’s a barcode in the upper right hand corner area with an N##### under it, I believe that’s your NSU ID. if not, they did sent out an email for people who qualified for a fee waiver and in the email they stated your NSU ID as well. Hope this helps!

Found it. Thank you!!
 
Was complete in late July and still have not heard anything... 3.9 GPA, 509 MCAT, and a Florida resident. I called them and they said my app is still under review, but at this point I feel like I'm out of the running for them. I was wondering until when does KPCOM interview?
 
So I am in a bit of a difficult decision. I have been accepted to both LECOM-Bradenton and Nova Southeastern in Fort Lauderdale. Which school is better, and is the extra money at Nova worth it? I have to make the decision in two weeks. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I am thinking about applying to LECOM's Bradenton campus, did you like it? How was the area?

They used to interview until March
 
Do any M1s have their daily schedules they can share (pdf) with us? I want to see how all the classes are lined up and the exam days!
 
Hey guys, I'm also accepted to Fort Lauderdale campus. How do you guys find housing?

Also, please PM me anything, trying to make some friends.

Same If anyone has any info on off-campus housing I’d really appreciate it!
 
For those current students, what are some of the best places to live off campus? Are any walking distance?

Exams are every 2 weeks but I wouldn’t worry about looking at the schedule right now. I’m sure a lot of things will change for you guys and you might be stressing out for nothing
 
For those that were accepted off of the waitlist, did you guys send the school an update or a letter of intent?
 
Does anyone know an email address or phone number to contact an admissions member. I never got a secondary even though I meet the minimum requirement and wanted to ask someone how I can access it/fill out. Thank you so much
 
Interviewing here next week! Any tips on getting around? or places to check out in the area?
 
Does anyone know how full the two campuses are? I don't want to pay the 750 yet lol but I also don't wanna lose my spot.

I was wondering the same but my admission stuff didn’t mention anything about that policy other than the deadlines so I’m not sure lol

I have a feeling they will communicate this to us when things are filling up.
 
Could somebody explain the $750 fee? If I don't pay until the date they gave me then what could happen?

The fee is just to hold your spot and it goes towards your tuition. That means during first semester when you get your loans you get that money back.
 
Hey guys! M1 at Davie! Let me know if you have questions about anything! I go back to school on Tuesday and it will be more difficult to get on here to answer questions!
 
Hey all, got into my dream allopathic school. Just wanted to say I interview at NSU on the First day like August 14th or something and was accepted on like August 29th. As a re-applicant, I had just finished a very difficult and frustrating cycle and it was finally hitting me that I wasn't going to be going to medical school this year. At NSU I immediately felt happy again. Mr. Sliba was SO funny and welcoming and all of the staff made it very clear they were so excited and happy to have us there. I was very impressed by the students, faculty and transparency. Our medical student guides were with us for like 4 hours, sat with us at lunch, sat with us during the interview and showed us around the school. It was clear that NSU picks qualified, normal and compassionate student-physicians and I was honored to offered a spot at the end of August. My point is NSU will always have a special place in my heart, and I hope you all feel the same way. Congrats to all of you and part of me is definitely sad today I will not be joining some of you next year!
