To get Nova in your sig, click on user cp up top. Then on edit profile. Look for the sig section and enter it in there. This way you don't have to copy it every time you post. You see the difference when there is a line btwn your post and your sig.
 
No idea, good question.


Are you attending Nova in the fall? If so, welcome to the class. If not, welcome to SDN.
 
Well, sorry JRogoff, but I officially withdrew my application and declined a spot in the dental school today.

Hope I freed up a spot for someone who really wants Nova!
 
^^^^^
Sorry to hear that, but UCLA is an excelent school. It must have been a tough choice, both schools being located in such beautiful places. Gook Luck to you!
 
Just want to thank everyone for their support of the website... 😀


Chris
 
Personally I cant wait to see it completed. Thanks for doing this Chris....

It was a tough choice, but I think I made the right decision.

Good luck to you also on your career as a dentist! Or maybe a specialist!
 
The wesite is looking great Chris! We even have our own Yahoo Group! If people get a chance, they should join.

Have a Happy Easter/Passover/Weekend!

Well, the website is almost finished. I did put up a message board and calendar, but I'm not completely satisfied with their functions. The message board is nice, but it seems too difficult to quickly check and post new messages. I liked MSN's message board, but I have to check and see whether they have a good calendar or not. I wouldn't want to set-up a message board with MSN and a calendar with Yahoo because then that would require an e-mail subscription to both websites. So for now, just wait a little before posting to the board because I don't want to get everyone used to Yahoo and then change it to another service. I really appreciate everyone's compliments about the site though and I look forward to its completion. 😀


Chris
 
The website is complete! I changed the message board over to MSN because Yahoo's just wasn't cutting it. Again, the website address is: http://www.geocities.com/nsucdm2008

If you know anyone who will be attending NSUCDM this Fall, please let them know about the site.

Hey kidcanada.....sorry this took me so long! I'm originally from north of Toronto (King City) and i'm now just finishing up at Queen's. How excited are you to be moving to a place where it's not snowing half the year!!?? But I will miss my snowboard.....

So when are you moving down to Florida? I am SUPER excited about Nova.

Chris
 
For the people that are attending Nova, go ahead and post in the offical class thread!
 
Anyone have dates (i.e. orientation, registration day, white coat ceremony, beginning of classes, etc.) or news that I can post on the website?

Chris
 
I think the first day of class is Monday, August 2nd. But don't quote me on that.
 
I see that you put on the site that the first day of class is August 2nd. Did you confirm that? Also, when would orientation be then? I just wanted to know to see when i need to start a lease. Thanks! By the way, the site looks great! :clap:
 
what is the tuition for the year 2004-2005 ?
Does anybody know?
 
In state: $28,325
Out of State: $30220

These numbers will be much higher in Canadian though! 🙁

Ok, that was a big help, thanks Andy!
 
I spoke to an adcom at Nova today... they had a record application from last cycle, 2000+ for the 100 spots. That's 1:20! - Nova must have something making all these people apply.

JRogoff: Thanks for providing Su-Ann's #... she was a big help, and strongly encouraged me to apply next month.

Its easy to get in

You can't make a comment like that and not back it up. Lets hear your ingenious theory.....

In my opinion, no dental school is "easy" to get into. Yeah, it might not be as hard as Harvard or UOP, but its definetly not easy.

No problem Mo, anytime. Tell me when you come for an interview next fall (i'm sure you'll get one) and we'll definetly meet up. Good luck! 🙂

You Bet!, watch out for me this fall.
 
Let us know of your interview date once you get it

I honestly think Nova has more to offer than I originally thought... but yes, I will let you and JRogoff know when the time comes... How far is Nova from Miami?

I'm a Miami native, so i'll take this one. If you're comming from Miami International to Nova, it will take you about 35-45 minutes on average. The drive time varys greatly due to Miami's traffic, especially around the airport. If you are planning on flying, i suggest going into Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood international. This is a much shorter drive, about 10-15 minutes on 595, and flights are uasually cheaper here. If you're asking in terms of night lifw while in dental school, south beach is about a 45 minute drive from the Nova area, again varying greatly with traffic. If you need any more driving times and such, i'm your man! 😀

I drove from Miami through Ft. Laurendale before... I don't remeber how long it took me, but I know it must have been less than 1 hr. How far is Ormond beach from the school roughly?, Nice to hear South Beach is only 45 mins away. 😎

What is the cost of rent like outside Nova?

There you go kevin, you're added to the list. I don't think most of us know where we are living next year. Are you looking for a roommate, becasue i am??? Let me know, and welcome to the class and SDN.
 
Will all those items be sent to us, or do we have to print them out off the website and send them? I ask because the checklist form mentions forms that are not on the web site. Thanks Chris, your a big help as always.
 
How long is Nova's summer break?

is that a yes? - it's so nice out there. Where I am (in Boston), th weather here is sub-zero most of the time... and I'm originally from a country located on the equator and the indian ocean.

I just want to here more positive things about Nova 😉 .
 
Mo....

I don't know to tell you the truth, but i'll find out and let you know. I don't blame you for wanting to hear good things, but just wait till you visit!

From my understanding, all the forms that are on the website will be included in the orientation packet. However, there may be some extra information in the packet that has not been posted on the website yet.

Thats what i thought, thanks for clearing that up chris!
 
^^^^ Anytime 😀

For anyone who hasn't posted to the class message board yet, here is the link to both the website and message board:

Message Board: (link is also found on the website)

Starting this coming week, the process of switching to Nova's servers will take effect (hopefully) since all the required paperwork is complete. By the end of this week we should have a Nova address. I'll keep everyone updated. 😀
