Hey guys! I have heard that NOVA MD is taking away resources from DO. Anyone has any information on this?

M1 here.. That's not true at all. Care to share any specifics of what you've heard? The only way I can imagine someone is arguing this is because we share professors with the MD program and the FTL professor who taught Cardio to the DO students last year moved over to the MD program this year. There is a perfectly good explanation for this and it has to do with the new Tampa Bay campus..... When the DO program opened up the TB campus, the DO program needed to hire a bunch of new TB professors (because half the classes are required to be taught from TB and half from FTL). One of those new TB professors was hired to teach cardiology. Because of that, the cardio professor from FTL moved over the MD program. However, that same FTL professor still teaches pulmonary to the DO program and the DO students still have access to all of his cardio material (he basically wrote a small book on cardio). Just as an FYI... one of the professors hired for the MD program actually taught the DO students a few Biochem topics. So, no, I would say they are not taking resources from us.

Yes, it’s a waitlist.. apparently, they don’t rank waitlisted applicants.

When will they be sending out the next wave of decisions?
They’re supposed to have a meeting this upcoming Tuesday. So either this week or next.
 
Does anyone know if they're still sending out II's and whether they're receptive to application updates?
 
Does anyone know if there is a Facebook set up for the students who will be attending the Tampa campus?
 
decisions should be coming out either today or tomorrow.

I don't know if I should be excited or nervous, either way I hope to hear some good news
When did you interview? I interviewed on February 20th and they said that they’re meeting with the committee this pst Tuesday, with the dean next week, and sending out answers shortly after that.
 
I interviewed early February and they told me they’ll be meeting with the committee at the end of the month and then the dean will finalize the decisions. Also I called in yesterday and that is what they told me. I’m praying for that email lol hopefully we get in sometime today. Wish you guys the best

Yeah I interviewed on Feb 18th and the said it could take 2-3 weeks for decisions to come out! Fingers crossed sooner!
 
Anyone wondering about the bad rep SDN gives this school?

A lot of it comes from the posted licensing exam pass rate and residency placement rates. In my view, I think that NSU gives people a decent chance of retention. Meaning they will keep you on to work through your failures, repeated years, etc.
 
I was accepted to this school back in August. However, I have decided to attend a different school in Arizona instead. I will be withdrawing from my seat in the class. Best of luck to you all!!!
 
What is the second deposit?

if you pay the acceptance fee of 1250
And the pre registration fee of 750 does that mean you paid the first and second deposit?

Yup! Your acceptance deposit is due two weeks after you receive your acceptance and the additional 750 is due by March 15th. So for example my acceptance deposit is due March 13th and the additional is due by March 15th.
 
Question regarding campus waitlist:
I got accepted to Tampa and put myself on the Davie waitlist. On the waitlist form it said that they will notify you of your final campus on May 29th. Does that mean that I have to wait until May 29th to hear if I got off the waitlist, or if a spot for me opens up before then will I be notified right away?

Have you got a confirmation email stating that you have been add to Campus waitlist?

In my confirmation email, it says that if my request has not been granted by May 29, then I will be placed at the Tampa Bay Campus. So, I would suggest waiting for that confirmation email.

I have not received any confirmation email. How long after submitting you letters/deposit did you receive a confirmation?
 
Hey guys,
Does anyone have the link for the accepted students for the clear water campus?
Thanks!
 
Are there any current students at the clearwater campus who are willing to pm me about their experience so far?
