Did anyone else receive an email from Nova saying "we have received the necessary documents to review your application," but the Nova portal shows not received for LORs and official DAT scores? My email suggests my application is complete, but the portal says otherwise. Has this happened to anyone else? Should I email the office for clarification? Help needed! Thanks guys!

Does anyone know till what time NOVA keeps calling for acceptances?

I've been waiting since today morning and it's almost 11:00 🙁
 
still waiting too! When were you guys interviewed? also what is the initial of your last name? Maybe they're going in an alphabetical order?
 
Just got an acceptance EMAIL and then a call
