Has anyone heard back from NSU? Applied to 7 other Florida schools but Nova is my top choice. Have they ever accepted students without interviewing them first?

 

[jlconner2]

When I called they told me that Nova only does phone interviews when necessary. Usually they just accept and decline based off of the written application. That is what I was told. I received a letter in the mail and I am a "hold" candidate and they are re-reviewing my application in the next meeting. I have never been to the campus but I have been in contact with them a lot and really have grown to love the program and what they have to offer. If you hear anything let me know!!!

NOva has some open house info sessions coming up you may want to call the dept and sign up for one and get a chance to meet faculty . Can you please share why you feel Nova is your first choice and your opinions of the other schools you applied to .......Thanks

 

[mnDPT2015]

I got an acceptance letter in the mail today!! I really wish the best for everyone in this process, it's so stressful. I hope to hear good news from you jlconner!

I know their passing rate is high, their professors are really well trained in what they teach, and their school is really nice as well as the area around it. I feel comfortable there, and I have family in the area too which would make the move less stressful for me.

I interviewed at UM a few weeks ago and I loved the school, staff, and students, but I wasn't too crazy about the area, I felt really uncomfortable. As for the other schools, I'm not sure. I planned on learning the really in depth details about them as I heard back from them.

 

[jlconner2]

MnDpt2015, thanks so much for the update and I have high hopes. I think that the school has so much potential and I am not giving up yet 🙂!!! I will keep you posted!! Would you mind posting your stats? I am just curious. I know my gre is low and may be holding me back but we shall see!!!

I wasn't notified that I was going to be interviewed when the professor called. She just asked me if I could answer a few questions. I thought it was about my application but she gave me an interview on the spot. I received a letter in the mail stating my application was on hold. Not very happy about this.

 

[jlconner2]

Kin 2010, I am also a hold candidate. I called them early on in my application process and they said they call people when they want to hear more about the candidate. I am surprised you were not aware about the interview but i wouldnt get to discouraged. I think being a hold candidate is better than being denied. Best of luck to you. Keep us posted on your application process!!

 

[jfox]

When did you guys apply? I am also waiting to hear back...

 

[MrDPT120]

Do you have any idea how much tuition is?

David:

Those are damn good stats. Until I saw them I thought I had a chance at NovaSE. Sounds like a terrific program. Congrats.

If applied today, do you think I would still have s chance to be accepted or is too late?

 

[jfox]

Does anyone know if they offer everyone the supplemental application after the PTCAS application is sent?

 

[IndianKid]

Hi jfox,

It is stated on http://www.ptcas.org/NovaSoutheastern.html that an email will be sent to potential applicant.

Once the PTCAS application has been received by Nova Southeastern University, a supplemental application will be made available online. An e-mail will be sent to potential applicant.​

​

Best of luck to you and everyone else!

 

[NewTestament]

The supplemental application takes about 20 minutes. Registration can be hassle, but you just fill in a series of forms. No big deal.

 

[jfox]

Yea I just filled it out and submitted it. I was just wondering if it was made available to all applicants or if they were selective at all on who got the supplemental application also.

 

[Kin 2010]

haha Thanks! Much appreciated! Good luck to you too!

 

[aas88]

looks like there are a few of us that are 'hold' candidates...let me know if you guys get an update and good luck!

 

[MSR0307]

I'm just curious, has anyone applied to the hybrid program in Tampa? If so have you been accepted?

 

[BrittDPT]

Yes, I got my acceptance letter early December. I accepted the offer!!

I see a few other people have been accepted already... can't wait to meet you guys!!

 

[BrittDPT]

And by the way, I didn't read the post above mine. Just to clarify, I got accepted to the Miami campus! Good luck to everyone!

 

[tjvoll86]

Hey guys, I was accepted to the Occupational Therapy program at Nova starting this June and I am looking to move to Ft. Lauderdale sometime in April. Looking for a roommate, preferably a male, since I'm a guy. Message me if your interested

 

[aas88]

congrats...I was accepted to the Hybrid program for PT at Tampa...anyone else?

 

[jlconner2]

I still have not heard back any new information from Nova. I was considered a "Hold" candidate back in October. I am planning on calling them to see what the updated status of my application is at this point! Let me know if you guys hear anything new!

 

[lucy2345]

I submitted my supplemental application at the end of December and received an acceptance e-mail today.. they never called me for an interview or anything so I wasn't expecting it at all haha but hope this helps!

 

[Kin 2010]

Same with me. I have not heard and am still on Hold. Just called and got a voicemail. =(

 

[jlconner2]

I called them yesterday and pretty much as a "Hold" candidate we are waitlisted. Anytime a spot becomes available they review EVERY "Hold" application in alphabetical order and then make a decision. The ladie I spoke with said I could hear back as late as the end of May and the program starts in June. They will call if the status of a "hold" candidate changes. She said it's all about the waiting game now and that's really all she could tell me at this point. I don't even know if they have filled all 50 spots yet but she said THEY WILL fill them all before the class starts in June. They are paying for materials for 50 students and will find a way to have a full class of 50. Hope this helps a little bit.

 

[em12384]

Anyone else in yet? Message me! Can't wait to meet everyone.

 

[adw253]

I just found out today that I have been accepted to the Ft. Lauderdale DPT program! 🙂 I can't wait to meet everyone!

Also, for those of you that have already been accepted, did you send your letter confirming your desire to attend NSU via email or through snail mail?

[ACECPT]

For those who have been accepted to the Tampa program, what are your thoughts on it? Dr. Riba called me yesterday and told me I had to choose which campus I prefer before my application could continue to be reviewed...I went with the Tampa due to the flexibility of the program with working, etc. Thanks and good luck to everyone!

 

[BrittDPT]

If you are accepted and attending Nova Southeastern DPT program in miami we have made a Facebook page. Look up "Nova Southestern DPT class of 2015" and join! Can't wait to meet my classmates!

 

[ACECPT]

Just found out this morning I was accepted into the hybrid program in Tampa!

 

[MBenigno]

When I got my Master's (I graduated in 2009), I attended FIU, but I had a friend that went to Nova and loved it (the SE campus, not Tampa). I just recently became aware that they have a really good DPT program and that the tuition isn't too bad for out-of-state students (same as in-state, roughly $26k/year). Since I gave up my FL residency after I left FL following the completion of my Master's, I have to keep that in mind when applying to FL schools. Can someone tell me a little about why they applied to Nova? The program seems great but there is only so much you can tell online. I am due to be back in Miami in May to visit some family and I am thinking about maybe setting up a tour....Just wanted some insight. I currently live in SC and will realistically be applying to MUSC and USC (Columbia, SC) but I wanted to keep my FL options open as well, as long as price isn't a limiting factor (FIU, Nova, and I wish U. St. Aug wasn't so expensive!)...

Thanks so much for the help!

 

[biopt]

Has anyone been accepted yet off the waiting list? I received a "hold" letter back in late November and have yet to hear anything.

 

[jlconner2]

I have not heard anything back either. I got my "hold" candidate letter at the end of October. They told me it could be as late as May before we hear anything. It all depends on who declines acceptances and when they decline.

 

[kjo11]

I just received an acceptance email today. I applied in September an had not heard anything about my application until today. So excited!
