I received an email back in late November saying they received my application, and then a rejection later in the mail in late December or early January. I was really disappointed, especially since I got an interview last year and not this year. If you haven't heard anything you should probably call.

Impressive! Where are you going to attend?
 
I have a quick question, can you rescue you seat in more than one school since they give you very limited time to make a decision???

Yes you can reserve your seat in more than one school. Make sure to decide quickly and tell the school that you don't want to attend and that you want to give up your seat so it can go to someone else!

I understand, I just need a bit more time to make the right decision and I thought u could only reserve one seat at a time.

If it is at all possible for you, schedule a visit to Nova Southeastern. They don't do interviews, but you may be able to make a good impression and get moved up to the front of the wait list line. I took a tour and met with a couple of faculty and I'm convinced that gave me that little bit extra to get accepted. Give them a face and personality to put with the application🙂. Plus it shows that you're the type of person to go that extra mile🙂

I told Nova Southeastern about this site. Hopefully schools will at least start to monitor this site. There's a wealth of people on here who would be an asset to a program.
 
Can't believe I finally get to post after forum stalking forever. I'm a non-trad making a career change and cannot wait to start.

As you can see I applied to way too many schools. This forum has been invaluable support throughout the process, so thanks to all of you. Do I regret applying to this many? Honestly no. I was fortunate enough to be able to afford it. Oof that sounded haughty :/ And the reason I turned down a bunch of interviews was because I got into Duke mid-Dec, way before I had heard back from many schools and it was one of my two top choices (MGH and Duke), and I felt I didn't need to interview and fly and pay for flights to other schools. I had no way of predicting the order that I would hear back from schools and it was a kind of a stressful nightmare. After I hear back from MGH today (fingers crossed) I'll make my final choice between the two! Wheeee!
