In case yall were wondering if this school prepares you for Step 1, we recently got our average USMLE scores released for the inaugural class:

US average: 231

NSU MD average: 237

we crushed it

Edit: forgot to mention with 100% 1st attempt pass rate

that's some awesome stuff right there. Before I was worrying if the KPCOM's poor performance would translate to the MD school due to being overlooked by the same institution but it's clearly not.

In their open house tonight, NOVA mentioned that ~100 interviews have gone out thus far.

Not bad! Their MSAR says they interviewed 274 last year

 

[floridaheatkills]

is the open house invite only sent out to interviewees?

No, it's been on their site for some time now. It just ended, but they mentioned they may host another.

Darn only 274? For some reason I thought that number would be much higher...

Still waiting on the VITA invite to come in, I received my II last Thursday at like 7 am so I’m hoping I get the email today. Does anyone have insight into around what time they are usually sent out on Thursdays?

Yeah, it's 8AM EST. So you should have gotten it last Thursday. This same issue happened with me for another school before my NSU II, so I had to email that school letting them know I hadn't received it. Turns out there was some sort of glitch and many applicants from that school didn't receive it. I would maybe email NSU letting them know?

Thank you so much, I emailed them about it. Hopefully I won’t have to wait until next Thursday for it to work because this interview is in two weeks

I just logged into the portal to check on my application status and I saw that they're supposed to update within 3 weeks of paying the application fee? I submitted in August and still haven't heard anything, I also never got an application complete email. not sure if we were supposed to or not but now I'm stressed lol

not a portal sorry I meant the payment confirmation email!! did anyone get an app complete email or was it just the payment one?

 

[The Dragon of the West]

I never got a complete email but when I emailed them regarding an update, they told me my file was complete and successfully submitted. Hope that helps!

I would call to check if you application is complete because I got a complete email after paying.

 

[medigal97]

You just get an email that says your payment is complete. I got an interview and that’s all I ever received before them emailing me about the II.

 

[terminus98]

Same :/

 

[terminus98]

Same :/

I hope this is accurate from the previous SDN threads but apparently this school WLs a lot of applicants and see movement around March-July. Let's keep our heads up!!

 

[pine_cone1]

For people who interviewed, how did you prepare for the PBL portion? Any tips?

 

[SirxArfsAlot]

II this morning! OOS and complete 07/22

 

[mmedr]

how long did it take to receive further details after confirming II? they said they would send more info after receiving my VITA about a week ago but I had already done VITA and haven't heard anything further.

also, any advice on preparing for the PBL part?

 

[liverpool1927]

Just got II. LizzyM 71, complete 9/7. ORM

 

[BoneBroCO]

On my complete email it says I will "receive a determination on your application within 2-3 weeks of your payment submission". That was on October 6th. Should I reach out to them through email?

No, they’re way backed up and they haven’t been sticking to that at all 🙂

[deomnibusdubitandum]

Any idea if it's too late to fill out the secondary here?

 

[sabtain1]

Go for it, with all the covid mayhem you might be able to get away with it!

 

[medigal97]

Waitlisted, this one hurts

 

[hopefulpremed100]

Waitlisted. hopeful to get off the waitlist though, i know that last year there was a lot of movement.
