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).

Interviews started at 1pm and if you tell Calvin that you have a flight to catch he can arrange for you to interview first (at least that's what he offered to my group) ... would be done before 2 if you work that out! FTL airport is also pretty close to Nova's campus
 
I received an interview from Nova today but never got an email/phone call from them prior to this saying that my application has been complete. Should I be worried?

Congrats! The fact that you got an interview means they reviewed your app and thought that you were suitable for their program on paper… nothing to worry about
 
Does anyone know what the acceptance rate is for interview candidates? Just curious… Really love this school

Their interview was probably the most laid-back and conversational interview that I’ve been to. Not much to prepare for, just know your application and why you want to be a dentist. You’ll do great!

can you tell me how much time the interview lasted with the tour, lunch and everything, It would be super helpful because I have an event the same day as my interview in the late afternoon and it would be super helpful to see how much time it lasts overall

From my comment above to a similar question: "Interviews started at 1pm and if you tell Calvin that you have a flight to catch he can arrange for you to interview first (at least that's what he offered to my group) ... would be done before 2 if you work that out! FTL airport is also pretty close to Nova's campus."

So we all got there and eventually found the room by 11:15ish then things didn't start until a little after 11:30. An info session then lunch with 2 student ambassadors in a classroom was then followed by a (slightly chaotic tbh) tour by the 2 students. Interviews started right at/after 1. There were 14 of us and 5 interviewers each with 2 or 3 assigned students... there's no allotted time or limit. I was the very last one called back (around 2:45) and was done by 3:12 pm. Some interviews went an hour but some were 20 minutes. But I second the flight thing, all people with a flight were first up even if it wasn't until late evening.

for those of you who didn’t get in, don’t feel bad. This is the first year NSU is holding the MDS program which guarantees a seat in the incoming class at a certain GPA, narrowing it down to about 60 available spots to the general public. Sucks that it is this way but God has a plan for everyone!
 
Received an interview invite from Nova yesterday. I will most likely decline it because I was accepted somewhere else.

I am asking this question for a friend, who really wants to go to this school. From what I've read, Nova accepts a little over 120 students. What do you mean 60 seats are available to the general public? Does that mean half the school must go through that masters program? What's the catch? Is that masters program an extra year on top of the 4 years of dental?

yeah i looked into it but don't know necessarily... looks like a 1 year master's progrsm and you only have to maintain a 3.6 🙁
 
Hello! I'm a current student and I made this group chat for you all to get to know each other before the start of dental school. Please share this with other accepted students 🙂
