Question: I believe there are 379 student placements for both campuses (Looks like 21 students (out of 400) didn't make it to 4th year). What does the 22 transitional placement mean? Does it mean they did not match into any residency (they desired)? Does it mean 94.2% residency match?

I thought I heard it was around 150 students for Tampa’s campus and around 230ish students for FTL’s campus so I assumed they had a match rate of 98% or so this year..? Or am I wrong?

Some specialties (Derm, anesthesia, etc) require you to do a transitional year, which is basically an intern year where you rotate around different specialties before starting your categorial residency (or your actual residency). You can either do this transitional year at the same hospital where you are doing your categorial residency, or you can do it at a different hospital.

You'll notice a "PGY-2" word next to some of the different specialties. This means they will start their categorical residency at the hospital listed but will do their transitional year at a different hospital. This separate hospital is listed in the transitional placement you mentioned.

So if you look at our derm matches: The Larkins match says "Larkin Comm Hospital Palm Springs Campus ‐ PGY2". So they'll be starting their dermatology residency at Larkins but will be doing a transitional year in one of those 22 transitional placements mentioned, as for which one, Nova doesn't specify.

Most importantly, some of those 22 transitional placements are students who did not match their desired specialty but matched into the one-year transitional year. Nova doesn't specify this. Hope that made sense!

 

[LuvtoBeADoctor]

Does it mean that some of the placements like Drm/Anaest that are displayed are actually from previous year students who took transitional year to get these residencies?

Should I email them? It’s been a little over a month for me now…

From what i remember, they’re basically just like “we only have one scholarship available for disadvantaged students, other than that look elsewhere” lol

That’s only for in state students right?

 

[Rocko12]

That’s only for in state students right?

Yes the Chancellor’s scholarship is only for instate students

 

[LuvtoBeADoctor]

The Chancellor’s scholarship is only for those who satisfy bot these requirements
* Florida residents
* Low income or disadvantaged students.

I believe there are other scholarships too

Do you know on what day of the week or month the committee meets?

 

[latinadoc119]

On the school's website, the curriculum shows that the rural medicine rotations are in M4.

Yes on the website it has them in M4 but we do them during M3 with out Core rotations! I have friends that this is their first rotation so they may need to just update their website!

Just an FYI, upperclassmates and random people trying to rent out apartments join the accepted groups

 

[MedDpatel]

Is there an accepted student group from the TBR campus?

When you put down your full deposit they send you the group link

 

[LuvtoBeADoctor]

For those joining the Davie campus, there are couple of places that have open spots for housing (Right across the medical school). I am planning to rent of them and if you wish to get the info for the landlord please send me private message.

Hello everyone! Quick question... Does anyone know how the campus transfer process works and how likely you are to get your campus of choice if you put yourself on the waitlist?

 

[comanchedude]

Hello everyone! Quick question... Does anyone know how the campus transfer process works and how likely you are to get your campus of choice if you put yourself on the waitlist?

I got my choice 30 minutes after I switched. Just ahead to email a form to them.

Were you recently accepted off of the WL?

 

[hyperhero347]

Broad question, has anyone recently been accepted off the waitlist in the past few weeks?

 

[targaryen305]

I got my choice 30 minutes after I switched. Just ahead to email a form to them.

Who did you email the form to?

 

[targaryen305]

Were you recently accepted off of the WL

No, I wasn’t put on the WL. I was directly accepted. But I put myself on the waitlist for the campus transfer to move from FLL to TBR and was wondering how long it took to be notified of the approval?

 

[LuvtoBeADoctor]

Davie campus is the most sought after campus . If you are moving from Davie to TB that shouldn't be a problem from a demand perspective . You should contact the admissions coordinator who emailed
the acceptance letter.

 

[marsinmedicine]

does anyone know if nova is receptive to letters of intent?

 

[MedDpatel]

Accepted to the TBR campus. Does anyone have any suggestions for student living? Is there a discord for accepted students?

 

[hyperhero347]

does anyone know if nova is receptive to letters of intent?

Highly encouraged

 

[cryingfromanxiety]

Do you think I should consider writing an email regarding my interest even after having interviwed? It's been about 2-3 weeks and I know that they plan to meet soon to discuss who they are accepting.

Typically you would want to wait about a month after your interview to send an LOI. If it has been a little more than 3 weeks, I don't see the harm in it.

 

[ysterr123]

Anyone who interviewed 3/21 heard back today?

 

[cryingfromanxiety]

I know they had said that they'd meet today to discuss our results. They didn't say when they'd tell us tho 🙁

 

[theoceanman]

I know they had said that they'd meet today to discuss our results. They didn't say when they'd tell us tho 🙁

When I got my results way back, they met and took around 10-14 days to get a result!

 

[cryingfromanxiety]

When I got my results way back, they met and took around 10-14 days to get a result!

So how long did it take for you to hear back? Because it has already been about 3 weeks since the interview and I was hoping that they'd share the results the same day that they meet to discuss them.

I think it was closer to 4 weeks, about a week and a half after they said that they would meet

 

[True2medicine]

does anyone know what the acceptance rate post interview is? i interviewed on 3/21 and am nervous

I think they mentioned around 1200 people get interviewed. So i’m guessing around 400/1200

 

[soontobedoc98]

Got the email pointing me towards their post bac program. Guess that's an R?

Are you on Wait list? If so, ignore that email. If you haven't got the interview invite then Nova will not be your destination for 2023 matriculation. Nova's interview cycle is almost over
