Does anyone know the average time it takes between your interview and your acceptance/rejection letter/phonecall? I interviewed on November 30th and freaking out a little bit.

I received my acceptance call 12 days after my interview. I wouldn't worry too much. It is all dependent on when the admissions committee meets. Good luck! 🙂
 
I think you fall into the December committee review. I had my interview on December 3. They review the applications for the whole month and I think the interviews from late November roll over into the December considerations. They had the committee review last friday to review the December interviews and this week is when they will supposedly be calling everyone based on the decisions from Friday. I've been here at work processing claims and staring at my cell phone since yesterday... lol

Can I just say how extremely helpful and amazing Jeff is?! He is one of the admissions counselors from NSU and is so super nice and informative. He is definitely a reflection of the school itself and how great and supportive the faculty is. 👍

They emailed me the interview call letter. I haven't got acceptance yet, they have classified me as an alternate candidate as in the waiting list.

I am a little confused on where to report for my interview on Thursday and am hoping someone can steer me in the right direction. Do I report to building 19E (HDP Admissions)? If so, where exactly do I go from there (i.e. room/floor number)? I know some people complained about getting lost on interview day so I want to make sure I know exactly how to get around.

Thanks in advance!

Congrats! I passed the committee but the dean asked for my last semester grades. Since i dropped Micro in the beginning of the semester, Jeff asked me to retake the PCAT before he shows my file again to the dean. My exam is tomorrow. Lets hope for the best!

Take university until you get to the street that says Nova Southestern. When you turn it, its the building to the left. The parking garage is next to it. WHen you get in the building, the area is to the right on the first floor. You cant miss it! Good Luck!

Thank You! And best of luck to you on the PCAT!!
 
Done! Now the waiting game begins. The interview was not stressful (now that it is over with I can say that…haha). The interviewers did not give me a hard time about my subpar grades, which I thought they would. They were actually very nice and pleasant to talk to. I think I did well and explained myself fully, but felt the interview was rather short. I was shocked when they asked me if I had any questions for them…I thought the interview was just getting started. Soooo, maybe it didn’t go that great :/

Good Luck!

I tanked the second PCAT... I only had 2 weeks to prep so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I'm waiting to hear from Jeff he hasn't replied to my calls or emails as of yet. I'm guessing because they have a lot of interviews this month.

You'll get your call at the end of the month, that's when the committee reviews all the interviews of the month and make their decisions. Best of luck!

Well, from my understanding the committee will be meeting tomorrow (25th) to finalize all the January interviews (although I know some people already got their acceptances...congrats!). For the rest of us, I hope it works out if NOVA is your 1st choice. Please keep posting and let us know (good or bad) what the outcome is and I will most certainly do the same.

GL!
 
I had my interview last week and got an acceptance call from Jeff the next morning!! Not a morning person, but best wake up call ever!!
 
I interviewed Jan 10th and still haven't heard anything. :/ not sure if that really means anything though. I guess I only need one school to say yes!
 
I have 3.8 gpa, have a bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences and minor in Biophysics. I did not do so well on the PCAT 58 ( fist time). Also, had volunteering and shadowing experiences. I don't know if it mattered but I'm also manage a restaurant.
 
Congrats 2017pharm! If you don't mind could you share your stats with us? Also when did you e-submit pharmCAS and your supplemental, and what confirmation emails did you receive before the interview invite? Thanks!
 
hi there. I got accepted into west palm beach campus.
the interview was easy-going so dont be nervous.
if you are applying other schools as well, be prepared cuz' theyll ask if you still want NOVA.

GOOD LUCK:soexcited:

^I've been wondering the same thing recently. I've put in my application in December took the PCAT January and the last thing that I've heard from them was that my PharmCAS was complete last month.

I applied 12/6/12, received supplemental link 12/7/12, received email for document's received conformation 12/11/12, interview invite 2/11/12, and interviewed yesterday 2/21/12. I hope this helps. Best of luck!

Has anyone heard from the school lately?? Interviewed 2/1 and still waiting to hear from them..

They told us yesterday during the interview that the admissions committee met last Friday, and they'll be meeting again next friday, so you should hear something soon.
 
Interviewed on 2/11 and got accepted on 2/26! Like someone said, Jeff called and gave me the best wake up call! 😀
 
Got the email for my interview today. Will be interviewed on 3/15. Any advice from those who have already gone through the interview process?
