Members do not see this ad.

I noticed everybody submitted their secondary early July to receive and interview, would an early July mcat delay/hurt me even if I submit everything June 1st then send in scores as soon as they come out and the secondary? Do I need an mcat score to receive Nova's secondary?

 

[dudeliness]

Yup. Email at 6:54 MST or I guess it's MDT, huh?
Oh and to whoever that was that said that my earlier story about the phone call with the admissions lady being wishful thinking, all I can say is BOOOYAAAHH!! Lol

I'm interviewing Aug 30... If any other girls are interested in splitting a room let me know. I also have a car and don't mind giving a ride to anyone that needs one. Anyone interested in pre-interview dinner? I'll be heading down from Orlando (UCF) after class on Wednesday and hope to be there by 6.

Interview on sept 6. I'm going to LECOM-Bradenton on the 24th of August, so wish I could get an aug 23rd interview! Glad to get an interview either way though.
Now I just need to check if they will accept me without a non-science prof letter of recommendation. I have 2 science, a DO, and a pre-med advisor. I wonder if the admissions people could even tell me if I could accepted with that?

Hi! I am also interviewing on Sept 6th! Congrats and hopefully I will see you!!

Its just stressed out people on the site. I dont blame them too much. If I didnt have an interview already I would be neurotic as ever. Stay strong everybody its all just beginning!

Ummm.... Seriously? It's a tongue-in-cheek expression of enthusiasm. Nothing more nothing less. No need to get offended.

why the heck would someone be happy for some random people on the internet getting interviews when they would be struggling to get interviews for themselves? im sure if you had no interviews right now you wouldnt give a rat's booty about other people's fortune

Even though I have never met any of them in person, whenever I read the regular posters getting invites, I feel very happy for them. And , I have had no interview invites of my own so far. Does it make me more impatient when I read others getting invites? Yes. But, it also doesn't make me despise them.

Interview invite for my sorry 3.1 GPA! (32MCAT with lots of EC's.) My first, but hopefully not last, invite.

Will there be any disadvantage if I select a later interview day, around late October?

 

[docgirl17]

Anyone interviewing on September 13th?

Yep

 

[EvenStevens]

I read somewhere that this is one of the medical schools that leaves you with the most debt. any truth to this?

The earlier the better with rolling admission... I wouldn't wait too long if I were you, def not later than oct.

Hi! I'm also scheduled for aug30th. I'm flying in from Boston the night before. Where are you thinking about staying? Feel free to pm me so we can chat!

Im interviewing the 28th but the Hampton Inn has a shuttle to/from the airport and NSU

 

[toxicwombat]

Yep. $290,000 to be precise.

Contrast that with LECOM-B's $165,00.

It's for this very reason that I would need a very strong desire (and/or military scholarship) to consider attending Nova if accepted at both.

Why is this though? The tuition doesn't really blow anyone elses out of the water does it? And the area can't be more expensive to live in than say chicago or ny. I just don't see how it could be so high.

I have no idea why their tuition is so high, but I know that living there is not more expensive than NY. Don't get me wrong, it is very expensive to live there, but NY (NYC) is outrageous. My gf goes to NSU and lives at Sunforest right across the street, and she pays ~650-700 a month with utilities.
