I got a call from someone from NOVA about 3-5 days after I submitted letting me know I should hear back in 4-6 weeks. That was early September so end of October I'll call them and see if they have made up their mind.

I got an interview but it's the same date as an interview for one of my other schools so I emailed them and turned the interview down. Good luck!

First off congrats, that's a huge accomplishment since over 600 people apply! And of course I can give some insight. Its two group interviews, then you get a tour of the school after by a few first year DPT students. You can't really prepare for the questions because they are random and not every person gets the same ones. Some of them were a pretty tricky and really made you think. Just make sure you think of some good experiences you can reflect on when answering the questions, and make sure you have some good questions to ask them as well! If you need time to think about the question just ask for a moment to think, I did that to gather my thoughts and make sure I wasn't just jumping into it. Mostly importantly try not to be super nervous, it took me a little ease my nerves and I talked kind of fast in result. Its a great school and you can tell all the faculty really wants you to get the most of out being a student there. Good luck with the interview, and if you have any more questions let me know!

I was accepted to USF so currently decided between them and FGCU. Leaning towards fgcu for financial reasons but definitely torn. Hope everyone is hearing good news!

Same with me. I've emailed them recently and still know nothing. I haven't heard anything since they sent an email out in October. I do have similar scores as you. Hoping for the best for everyone!

I applied to USA and got accepted immediately. I wish the communication with FIU was a bit better. I contacted a professor who works with the program and he advised me in November that I would be in the next batch of early interviews, but that never happened. I haven't heard anything since, but don't want to keep bothering the professor.

Just received an interview at FIU! If anyone has any pointers, that would be much appreciated.
 
I just got an email from Nova telling me that I was included on an "Alternate List". Do you guys know what that means ?

Hello! I guess I forgot to update, but I got accepted into University of Hartford in CT but I have not heard back from FGCU. My guess is I won't get in because my GRE is too low
