Members don't see this ad.

Well I think people do it because it might be an effective way to change the school? Maybe the school will read something about it and change for the fear thst they are getting a bad rep?

I can't tell if you're being serious..or sarcastic.

 

[zoner]

?! did that sound like I was being sarcastic? My s/o is an admin at a large university and said that they regularly check online forums for mentions of their school name.

Has anybody heard back about interviews in the last few weeks?

I applied long ago and am still being reviewed. I know that they filled up their interview dates and are now trying to open more up so they can send more interviews.

Anyone know anything?

 

[zoner]

Yup. Schools care more about the internet's opinion than the opinion of people actually associated with the school. +1

 

[selttiks288]

Whatever floats your boat.

 

[argo18]

Good luck everyone with applications/interviews. Has anyone from the Sept. 20th interview crew heard anything back yet?

Doubtful. However, the Dean is back so there may be some movement in the very near future. You guys would know more than me.

 

[tulipan]

what day of the week, do they usually release acceptances?

Mine was a Friday, I'm not sure about everyone else.

Thanks, have you been accepted here yet?

Dang I just saw that bad autocorrection in my post. I meant to write there may be "movement" haha. Hope you guys hear back soon. You all would know better than I would.

I'm a student here.

Yes it is and I will! If you we're asking about Florida heat, it was nice today. Low 80's.

Nah I was talking about AZ. When I was listening to the news this morning somewhere had a projected high of 108. Couldn't see where because I was making breakfast but daaaang. 108!?

Well that should be fun. Lol. I like the heat more than the cold so I guess that's good.

I'm still waiting for my acceptance packet in the mail. I'm hoping that its just taking a while for my USPS mail forwarding to work. I moved and hadn't updated my new address with Nova yet. If its not that, then maybe I haven't really been accepted! 🙁

How do you know you were accepted, was it via e-mail? I'm sure it might take some time, regardless definitely contact Nova about it because you have paperwork to fill and submit a deposit by a certain date.

Took mine a while to come.. it actually got returned to them even though they have the right address on file. You have a ton of time, don't sweat it.

I hope so!! The wait is slowly taking years off my life. I interviewed on 9/25 and fell in love with the university. I hope it is true that they will start sending acceptances this friday, 10/5.

why did you fall in love ?

 

[Abi123]

My DO application was verified yesterday (took 6-7 weeks) and I received my supplemental application request today. Is it too late to apply to this school? I see that some interview invites are quite far out.

My stats are:
MCAT: 32
cGPA: 3.8
sGPA: 3.88

Thank you.

I think you're good with those stats they're awesome. People are starting to cancel when they get accepted to schools higher on their list so there's always a chance you can interview earlier.

Interviewing Nov 6, anyone wanna split a room

Weather was great, interview went well I feel. They said we will hear back by Oct 26 at the very latest. The tours were boring but I enjoyed the sim lab!

Same. The packet let me down. I was so excited but there's nothing cool in it.

Do we get news today?👍

 

[qwerty4550]

why did you fall in love ?

I immediately got a very good vibe from the university. The facilities are very nice and all of the medical students and faculty were extremely welcoming. It also seemed like the faculty will do whatever it takes to ensure you succeed. Some of the community service activities and early clinical exposure are pretty cool as well. The main reason why I fell i love with the university is I feel I can thrive there. While location and all other factors are a plus, the main goal I had when going into the interview was to make sure it was a good fit for myself. Hope this helps!

Holding my breath! I have seriously been rushing to check my phone every time I get an email to see if it is from Nova.

I interviewed on 09/25 too. I wrote down that we wouldn't hear a verdict until Friday, 10/12.

how are the summers in southern Florida? is it unbearable? i am from SOCAL, so used to a little bit of intense heat in the summer, but is it better? worse? or about the same? I love the rain though...

You'll do just fine then. It's pretty much the same, only South Florida may be a tad more humid.

No, but I've visited Cali several times. Definitely more variety in climates and environments than Florida.

No, but I have visited both in the summer. SoCal is a lot less humid, and is hotter.

Don't ignore the humidity factor. To me, humidity is horrible. I would rather it be 100 degrees and low humidity than 80 degrees and high humidity. In the last month I interviewed in both Florida and Arizona. I liked the temperature/humidity combination better in Arizona.

Don't get me wrong. I am accepted at Fort Lauderdale. I will attend there if that is my only acceptance. But I think I would go to Arizona over Florida after experiencing my interview days. I also think I will go to either Florida or Arizona over an acceptance in Oregon (OHSU or COMP-NW).

Also, the rain in Florida is different than I am used to. I am from Oregon where it will rain for 24 hours constantly, but only get 3/4 of an inch. In Florida it rains EVERY DAY at 3:00 pm. You can set your watch to how regular the weather is. It will rain for 20 to 30 minutes, give about an inch or two, then STOP. The sun will come out and it will be fine for the rest of the day (with increased humidity from the water on the ground).

The day before my LECOM-B interview, I was eating lunch in BurgerKing. I was parked in the closest spot to the door. It was raining when I got done eating and I thought "What the heck, I am not afraid of a little water." DUMB DUMB DUMB. It was like I walked into a swimming pool. I proceeded to go to WallyWorld and buy the first umbrella that I have ever owned. I was not going to risk my suit getting wet the next day. Ha ha.

The traffic is another story... but I think the freeway is slightly better than LA, but the side streets are worse. It took me about 45 minutes to get to my interview at Nova when the GPS said it would be 10 minutes from the hotel to the school. It is a good thing that I left almost an hour early. I left the hotel at 7:35 and got there at 8:20 for the 8:30 start time.

Traffic is pretty bad down here. It takes me 20-30 minutes in the morning and I live less than 3 miles from campus.

My advice is to find a place South of the interstate. That's what holds up the traffic in the morning.

it does feel kind of humid in florida, when I went to alabama I noticed it really felt a lot less humid...
