I'm not sure if they will ask different questions for internationalnstudents but from my interview they basically had your file in front of them and they will ask you about why you had poor grades or exam scores etc. So be prepared!
 
They grilled me on why my reading section of the PCAT was so low :laugh:, but I still got in. Don't stress it too much and try to think the possible reasons as to why if they asked about your poor grades/scores.
 
The reading section is a headache. I was actively trying stay awake throughout the reading section.
 
For anyone still waiting to hear from Nova. I withdrew my acceptance today since I have been accepted closer to home. My seat was at the Ft. Lauderdale campus. Good luck to you all!
 
Hi, I've been accepted for the 2013 entering class and already sent in my reservation request to nova. When or will I receive further information on registration or orientation? Thank you

Seemingly, everyone applying to Nova has a BS degree. Should I even bother applying with just the prerequisites?

I applied with only my pre-requisites and got in. If you get the interview then your grades are good enough, so just nail on your personality and you will have no troubles!

Congrats on your acceptance! I was accepted back in October and I still haven't gotten anything about registration and orientation. I think they will send it to everyone when the time gets closer.
 
Same here future. I got accepted in November and haven't heard anything yet. Except for an email about proof of FL residency.
 
Had my interview today and at first they seemed intimidating but the interviewers were very nice. They said the admission committee will be meeting today 3/15/13 and later in the month on 3/25/13. So anyone still waiting on a response these two dates may be crucial. Good luck to all
 
Hey guys, I just recently withdrew my spot.. Good luck to those who are still waiting!

I got the same email and was confused so I called them. They told me that they don't know why I got that email but the dean will send an official acceptance email soon. I'm pretty sure you got in too 🙂 Congrats!

Just be yourself, confident and thoroughly truthful. Spend time with yourself and answer the following questions (Introspection will help you take interview with least anxiety):

Why 'Pharmacy' now?
Why 'You' as a best candidate?
Why NOVA?
What do 'You' have special in you to offer NSU?
