Nova Southeastern Univ (NSU-COM) Discussion Thread 2013 - 2014

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I completed secondary on 7/19, still haven't heard anything yet. Called them and they said decision pending.

Is there anyone have the same situation? I am getting very worried. I live 20 miles away from Nova, this is my first choice......
 
Interview Invite!! Interviewing on 10.31. Stats: 3.6c, 3.5s, 29MCAT. Submitted secondary on 8.3.
 
Just got an II as well! Scheduled it for the 29th, anyone else going to be there?

Same situation here, submitted 7/19 and nothing either. Hopefully we will get good news soon.

II today was complete July 20th!! So excited for those wondering I have mcat 27 cgpa 3.29 sgpa 3.45 and my post bacc gpa was a 3.95.
 
aw man. I did not know the dates would fill up so quickly. I was hoping to think about it for a bit before scheduling the date. You guys are fast.

With all these ii's, the Nova webstar registration e-mail I received today was the biggest tease ever. :uhno:

Congrats all!
 
I have never posted in these forums until today because I have to thank you for your 9/10 interview spot. I opened up my link at around 4:30 PM, saw no spots available, and called the office to see what was up. They told me to call back on Monday, then I opened the link and saw 9/10 available and I snagged it immediately.

So again, thank you!

Anyone else withdrawing from an interview date in September or October?

glad I could help!
 
Anyone thinking about rescheduling their 9/10 date? I have an interview on 9/9 at lecom-b and would really like to get a date at nova around this instead of a month later 🙁. Flying across the country for this.
 
I'm scheduled for 10/10 but thinking of moving it to 10/31 or 11/7. It's for financial reasons. I got laid off from my job and need more time to save $$ for this trip. Does anyone think interviewing this late will compromise my chances? 🙁

Quote from a current nova student was that as long as you interview before Christmas, your chances are significantly higher.
 
I had previously sent Nova a DO letter, 2x Science and a Philosophy LoR. I have recently gotten my MD LoR loaded up to Interfolio, should I send it along as well or will that be overkill? Both MD and DO letters are very strong.

Definitely send it in. Idk if they'll see it before it after your interview but can't hurt.
 
I read in the other secondary page that there is no essay questions for the secondary for NSU. I was wondering if the question about "how did you learn about osteopathic medicine" be a part of the Essay part?

I can't seem to find the secondary topic and I got the request for their secondary =/

Sorry for sounding like a novice. Hope you guys have a great day

Some responded by writing a paragraph or two and others by answering it with a sentence or two.

I answered that question with one sentence. I have an interview scheduled next month. Seems to me that either way you respond to this question is acceptable.
 
I'm a 4th year at nova. If u have any questions feel free to message me. Good luck!
 
interview on 10/24!

supp sent on on 7/17

good luck to people with earlier interviews!!
 
I decided to get a room to myself as it will be easier getting ready in the morning etc.

Holiday Inn Express, right near the school has a Nova rate of $69.99, so anyone who needs a room, this seems very reasonable.
 
Anyone else interviewing oct 17 th??
 
Hey guys, I got an II last Friday. I scheduled my Interview for Nov 21, but haven't gotten any email confirmation or anything. What do I do?

It's only Tuesday. Give it some time. I had a phone call about mine because it never went through.
 
Does anyone know this school's policy on sending additional letters of recommendation?

I just sent them an additional LoR last week and I interview on the 27th. I hope they are fine with it 🙂

Check your spam folder. The confirmation is sent from a weird sender address, so it gets categorized as junk. I remember freaking out last year because I didn't get a confirmation email and it was sitting in my spam box the whole time. If it's not in there, then definitely call them to confirm.

Thanks for the room info! Live in Tampa but driving over the night before. Interview on Sept 19th!
 
Just cancelled my ii for 8/26. Going to withdraw tomorrow. Hope someone else can grab the earlier date. Good luck all!

LECOM-B over NSU? What factors came into play for you?
 
Tuition and COL. I have a wife and two kids to think about. Also I felt like PBL was a good fit for me.
