Secondary received 6/7. App submitted 5/7, verified 5/8.

Hey, did anyone have to send transcripts to the admissions portal as well or do you wait for them to transfer it from AACOMAS?

Does anyone know the international student acceptance stats at the school? Can't seem to find anything

Hi, for the "list your healthcare volunteer experience, did you just list them down or would you write it in an essay form"

I listed them

Hi! I am filling out NSU's Letters of Evaluation section in AACOMAS. My understanding is they want it to match the requests inputted into the system, yet I only have one request for my Pre-Health Advisor (they typically send a packet with a committee letter and any individual LORs, which includes a physician letter). Has anyone else been in this situation and run into any issues by only listing the committee letter evaluation?

 

[Azaesal]

Hey, has anyone's admissions documents been marked as received yet? It's been nearly a month since I submitted my secondary, and they still haven't merged it with my AACOMAS application.

Hey! my LORs and application fee has been marked as received on the Nova portal (submitted secondary on June 9th, if that helps). my official college transcript however has been marked as not received. just wondering if this is the same for others as well 🤔

Same for me!

 

[Azaesal]

I was able to talk to an admissions counselor, and they said that if you submitted early and your documents haven't been merged by next Friday, then give them a call.

 

[taejaalexis]

I'm in a similar position, except for the fact that everything is considered "received" except for my college transcripts. Does anyone else have this issue?
