Well, they said 6-8 weeks and it only took them 4 to get back to me after my interview. I interviewed in early March and felt like I did absolutely terrible, but got accepted anyways. I declined the acceptance this week though, good luck to everyone waiting to hear back.

Also, what are people's opinions on having to wear scrubs to school everyday? I give it two 👎

The requirement is scrubs or professional attire (slacks, dress shirt, tie) if I'm not mistaken. I personally love dressing professionally, and I also like to wear scrubs because I go straight to the gym in them after class. I always feel cool wearing my scrubs in the gym 😀

You don't have to wear scrubs everyday; you can choose scrubs or professional dress. But there will be some days that you MUST dress professionally (like when you have to do a presentation or something)

I'm officially about to lose it! haha

I thought that we had to dress professionally everyday.... we have a choice between scrubs or professional?

Just out of curiosity, has anyone who interviewed on or around March 24th heard back from Nova regarding a decision?

Hey guys. So I applied to NOVA (WPB and Puerto Rico Campus) I interviewed in February and March. Today I receieved an email from the assistant director of admissions which said that the Dean has put my file on hold until I send them my grades for the classes I am currently taking. After I send them, the dean will review my file. What are my chances of being selected? Would there be any seats left in June? 🙁

I have an interview tomorrow at the WPB campus.

Can anybody post some pointers as to what the interview entails? It's my first pharmacy interview and I'm not sure what to expect.

Check the Interview Feedback section of this website. It has everything you possibly need to know about the interviews.

Hi

is Nova a reputable school? I'm debating between going here and University at Buffalo's SoPPS.

Is anyone here considering going to an unranked school over a ranked school?

Any advice that will help me with my decision making will be appreciated.

This website has rankings, but unfortunately hasn't been updated since 2008. But it will give you a pretty good guideline!

There is much debate over what those "rankings" actually mean. IMHO, I think that it is a no-brainer to choose a ranked school over a non-ranked school, simply because I think earning your PharmD from a reputable program will ultimately help you in your future job search. Of course, if you'd rather go to an unranked school because you can save 15k a year, then that is your prerogative.

Honestly, I think it really comes down to taking advantage of the education and making the best out of every opportunity that pharmacy school has to offer its students.

Hello, I am currently a P1 at Nova. I really like it here, even though we do have some issues with schedule, and teachers. However, most of our faculties are extremely helpful, and friendly.

I think it is better to go to school that is well-known and less expensive. Nova is not a ranked school but it has been here for 30 years and it is very reputable in Florida beside UF. Also, you have to know if you are able to handle a difficult curriculum in ranked school. Pharmacy school requires a lot of commitments, and not simply passing the classes. So think thoroughly before you make a decision.

Hey lilchany...Thanks for your post.
