I just got declined from nova and i was wondering if i could call or find out other ways to figure out why was my application as competent as others.
any suggestions?

how did they notify you?
i'd call and find out, you paid the money... it's not like they can decline your 2010 application again

Call and ask the reason for rejection...its always good to know why.

You mean where your ranking would be relative to the other 3.5 K applicants?

Did you end up calling? Did they have an answer?

If I get rejected from my state schools I will definitely call and ask why. For the private schools though it seems like there are just so many qualified applicants, that I figure it's a subjective selection to a certain extent.

I think it is perfectly acceptable to call and ask what was lacking in your application. Just be polite and take it from the point of view of " what is lacking in my application so I know what to work on next cycle if need be". There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. When I applied two cycles ago to Nova, I got rejected and called and asked. They told me my DAT was not high enough.

You have NOTHING to lose and A LOT to learn from calling. Good luck with it and keep your head up.

you have a great overall gpa, and a great sgpa, if i had to guess, nova has stated that they like students who majored within the sciences; students with a heavy science background. It may also be that the 18 in GC on your DAT hurt your chances. However, you have a great DAT, and a fantastic GPA...you'll definitely get in somewhere!! I'd put money on that
