I don't go to Nova Southeastern, though I did visit the campus for a tour about a year ago. The facilities are nice and new, and are shared with the other health professional students (DO, Pharm, DDS and a couple others).

Nova has one of the newer OD programs (< 10 years?), and has a reputation for being a little less competitive to get into. There are stats for the entering class of 2002 here: http://www.opted.org/info_profile2.cfm . The gpa and OAT range for all the schools is pretty broad, but you can see some trends.

If you have a special situation or just have questions about your chances of being accepted, I'd recommend calling the admissions office and asking to speak with a counselor. My experience has been that they're really honest with you about what they want to see and what you can do to improve your chances of acceptance.

Good luck!
