They ask for all the dental programs I apply to. And if I received interviews. What’s the reason?

they want to see if other schools want you as well. NYU asked similar questions. I had 5 interviews at the time, I told them I didn't want to disclose that information (and I was still accepted dec. 15th). To me, it feels as if you had only one interview with NOVA, and no others, disclose it. If you have multiple I wouldn't as they might not put you near the top of the acceptance list and you could be waiting for a while if on the waitlist before they accept you.

It's a game some schools like to play. If they're asking this early in the application, I wouldn't lie, but if you are able to not tell them I wouldn't disclose that info.

If you absolutely have to, then do it but it's so early in the cycle you can say no to the interviews portion.

They also don't give you enough characters to list all of the schools and the status of each one (200 characters). Can I list just a few schools?

How will NOVA know that I submitted my supplemental? It doesn't ask for a DENTPIN or CAS ID. Will they just match up the names and birthday? Also, in AADSAS, it shows my application is under review. However, on the NSU website, it says that they haven't received my letters of recs, official DAT, etc.

Same!
 
I submitted my ADASSAS app and supplemental a week ago, but they still sent me an email telling me to fill out the supplemental application two days ago.

Why their portal link on their website doesn’t open? Where can I pay for the application fee?
 
I have already submitted the supplemental and paid the feel, but I keep getting emails saying I need to submit the supplemental. Can I ignore these? I did get a voicemail saying my application is being reviewed.

Call them and ask. I submitted a few weeks back and have not gotten any additional emails regarding submitting a supplemental app

I completed the supplemental on June 7th but it still shows my transcripts have not been received on the NSU portal. Does anyone else's portal show this? Everything else from AADSAS has been uploaded

This can happen with portals. Did you ever receive an email from Nova about your app being completed and ready for review? Or does Nova only use their portal system for tracking your application?

Your app should have been sent as one file, so your transcript would have been included with your application. Chances are they haven't confirmed it on their end but it should be there. Have you contacted them if you didn't receive and app complete/app received email?

For some reason, my supplemental app still says I am missing my AADSAS application, DAT scores and Recommendation Letters even though I already cross checked with AADSAS that they have sent everything almost a month ago. Does anyone else have this problem as well?

Is this the email we are supposed to contact with any issues regarding our secondary application: [email protected]?

Anyone know if the NOVA interview is group or one-on-one? There seems to be conflicting answers.
 
It looks like their letters of evaluation requirements differ from most schools. They ask for two from science instructors and one from a liberal arts instructor. They highly recommend a fourth evaluation from a dentist.

Wondering if anyone can speak to the required liberal art instructor evaluation?

Did they fix it? I'm having the same problem and I don't know if I should call them and ask

Hi, I emailed and they fixed it soon later. They said they fix it closer to the time it is to review your application so I would just wait! If you do have any questions you can email [email protected] not the email I reached out to above. The only thing that still hasn't updated for me was transcripts but I believe that look at that later.

It’s super laid-back. The interview itself was very conversational and 1-on-1 with a faculty member. The rest of it was pretty much like any other school (tour, lunch, convo with students, hear about different parts of the school, etc).

For those who got an interview recently, did you receive a call about your application being considered complete and ready for review? I received an email but its been a little over a month and my portal still shows that everything hasn't been received, but says I submitted my $50 fee.

Edit/Update: I got an email saying that my application is under review 🤣. Everything now says received with the exception of the transcripts. Is this normal? My AADSAS portal should have my transcripts.
