Hi! I was wondering if anyone here goes to Nova. I haven't gotten to visit there yet, and I wanted to know if anyone goes there. Any info would be really appreciated!!
r_salis said:Regardless of which school you go to, all ODs have to pass the same NBEO board exams in order to practice. The pass rate for the boards varies from one school to another, so you can look at that as a measure of how "good" each school is, but at the end of the day the education you get is what you put into it. You're the one who has to pass the boards. Your patients don't care which school you graduated from after you have your degree.
I've never seen a pass rate comparison of all the schools on one list -- you can usually find it in each school's admissions information.maxwellfish said:rsalis... I never saw a comprehensive list of passing rate by school, any idea where I might find one.
thanks

Does it bother you (or your classmates) when people drop out? We had 3 students drop out (some are planning to come back and start again in the fall), and I felt terrible about it...christie said:~161 students entered PCO in '02, now we're down to ~137
I heard that the Nova campus is great, and it?s pretty new too. One of the reasons I want to go to Nova is because of its location. I think this is the best located opt school of them all.chemgirlie said:hey JOpt I'm applying to Nova and SCO also!! I just went and visited SCO and their eye clinic is huge and extremely nice! Hopefully Nova is really nice as well!
I was also wondering how hard it is to get into Nova, and I can't find out how many students they accept each year. Is it 211 or 111? Does anyone know????

Of course it?s hard; I?m just saying that the ratio of applicants/acceptances is greater at Nova than at other schools.South2006 said:It may be easier, but it isint "easy" by any means. They do have standards you know!
