Nope. Looks like first SDN post of secondary being received for last year was June 16, a Friday. Maybe they will start sending them out this week.

Do you know if there are two nova secondaries? Or if its a combined secondary for both campuses?

Does anyone know how to get the fee waiver

Go to AACOMAS, top right corner press on your profile and a drop down should say "fee waiver"

No I meant like to get it to be applied to the Nova secondary app

I called them today and asked - they told me I will still need to pay the $50 fee IF I receive an interview invite they will refund it. This is also explained on their website: Frequently Asked Questions | NSU Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine

Wow the thievery is crazy

 

[Saturn.med]

Has anyone received a call that their application is complete?

 

[sensorimotorstage]

Has anyone received a call that their application is complete?

Strangely I had just come on here to post the exact same question. Nope not yet. My application documents show all of my LOR’s assigned but my transcripts are still “not received”

 

[jasonbourne125]

I got an email that my application was complete.

 

[sensorimotorstage]

I got an email that my application was complete.

Did you get a follow up email immediately after submitting or did you a confirmation several days after saying that your application is now under review?

Yeah I have the same issue, I emailed them but haven’t heard back

 

[jasonbourne125]

I got an email the next day after submitting the secondary. However, all my transcripts and LOR were received when I got the invitation.

 

[sensorimotorstage]

Are they marked as received in the actual NSU portal under additional documents? Everything I had was received in AACOMAS, but several of us are at a spot in the NSU-specific application portal that shows our LORs as assigned to each category, but the transcripts are marked as "Not received" even though they are in AACOMAS.

Checking that section of the application, my transcripts show as not received as well. However it is weird because I got an email saying: "Thank you for your interest in the  Osteopathic Medicine, Dr of Osteopathic Medicine program at Nova Southeastern University. We have received the documents needed to submit your application for review. Once the review process is complete, you will be notified by the program office." Did you receive that as well?

No, I have not :/ When did you receive that? The most recent I got was the one saying that they need to link my AACOMAS and secondary and if anything is missing or I am ready for review they would call or email me. When did you get that email you shared, and when did you submit your secondary?

Got that email on 6/21 and submitted secondary on 6/20.

The only thing I can think of is which campus did you select? TBR or Davie?

 

[goldenretriever99]

How long did it take for your LORs to be marked as received?

 

[jasonbourne125]

Davie

For questions 2 and 4 on the secondary, is it bad to just cut down whats in my primary to use for this? seems kind of redundant to list this stuff again....

 

[idkjustchooseone]

When you press admission documents, did it just take any 3 random LORs from AACOMAS?

No they manually assign one that matches each of their categories

Hi Yall! I am about to start working on Nova Southeastern University KPCOM secondary, and I have a few questions about the character/word limit. The secondary I received from this cycle does not include a character/word limit (assuming No Limit). However, I noticed from last year's cycle that the school provided a character limit for their secondary questions. I guess my two questions are: did anyone receive an NSU secondary, and if so, did y'all get a character count?

You'll see the limit if you go over. I think someone posted them above though

 

[sensorimotorstage]

Has anyone got a call or email yet that their application is ready for review? I think only one person here has so far iirc?

 

[monisb2]

I didn't see an option to put both campuses, but only to choose 1. Anyone have thoughts on which best?

 

[tpaflamingo]

Yes they did email me when my application was ready for review.

Mine are still showing incomplete on NSU even though they've been submitted to AACOMAS for a few weeks.

 

[sensorimotorstage]

Your transcripts won't be marked as received throughout the entire process, do not worry

 

[Justcuriousstar]

For 4)
Do they mean paid employment? Or would I include my volunteer experience? I leaning towards the first and putting none?

Did anyone else get an email from them saying "Based on the information you submitted to the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine (NSUMD), we think that you might want to consider the Master of Biomedical Sciences program offered by our college." Is this just a mass email or did they actually review my application? I don't know if I should look at this as a pre-rejection?
