Does NOVA care about PAT?

I tried calling them and emailing them so many times and got not response so perhaps some of you can help me out. I have an AA19 TS19 PAT 15. GPA:3.5 Sci:3.56 BCP:3.86.

Do you guys think I have a shot at NOVA? Hopefully they have my application already and are just waiting for my DAT scores which were mailed out by ADA yesterday. What do you guys think?

15 is really low, i think if you just chose C for every answer you could get that

I'm sure you can... it just depends on how booked they are for interviews. My friend made a 16 on PAT last year and got an interview. He ended up attending a school in state though.

Nova has a fairly low Average PAT compared to other schools...but Nova gets well over 3000 apps...when I was visiting in mid August, the dean of admissions told us they already had 2400 full apps with another 600 expected within a week...by now that # is even higher, so a 15 no matter what area it is in is gonna hurt.

I know someone there now (2nd yr) who had a 16 on his pat.

damn I really dont know how I got a 15 though. I was gett 18 in topscore and 16 on achiever. I only guessed C for the pattern folding because I didnt know how to do it. I really dont want to re-take the exam though. I have a pretty good gpa and my other scores are good.

As long as it's not below the minimum for Nova then you should be fine if the rest of your app is solid. Do you have a shot? Sure. Would your chances be better if the 15 was a 25? Probably... but how does the rest of your app compare to their averages? If you're high on one it can make up for being low on another.
