So even though all we can do is wait now until we receive our letters, I wanted to find out more about the shark link theory floating around. I called the help desk and they said everyone gets a provisional sharklink id in case you do get accepted to a program. It doesn't really mean anything lol
The only thing we have going for us is that we weren't told we were rejected when we called.

I called today and they told me my decision should be in the mail. Also, I may have an idea as to why our NSU pins were released. Mine opened up on April 9th, the same day I submitted my FAFSA and I received a letter about financial aid from Nova today in the mail.
Is there anyone left who has their decision pending? The lady on the phone doesn't even see that I was invited for the interview, lol! I don't know if I should laugh or cry.
Don't worry that same thing happen to me they told that if the committee extended an ii I would receive an email. This was over a month after I had my interview lol. I really just don't think they have any access to anything so they just say random responses that they probably have written down on a sheet of paper
I'm starting to think that Nova uses some sort of carrier pigeon mail service, because I literally live 10 minutes away and this letter was sent last Friday.
I live about 2 hours away and no letter either.

My wait is over.... my letter arrived yesterday... while it would have been nice to stay around, I am fortunate enough to matriculate elsewhere (and still pending another decision). This process is ridiculous and one go around is enough for a lifetime! I wish you all the best.... Nova has a lot to offer.
Hello good people of Studentdoctor, is there a facebook group for the entering class? Thanks.
Are you serious? I thought they don't reject post-interview. I am so sorry, I can't beleive it...
Yep straight up rejection...I ripped up the letter right after I read it lol. I hope you hear good news soon

Rejected here too. Guess thats the end of this unsuccessful cycle for me.
I was extremely impressed with the school, but admissions this cycle seemed to be less than ideal. I mean, waitlisting everyone at the beginning, accepting most applicants in november and december, then a three month wait from January? Hopefully next cycle will be smoother.
At this point I am happy my decision is still pending, I have a tiny glimpse of hope, but I agree that the admission process this year is so unexplainable. I really feel bad for the people who have been waiting all these months to find out they have been rejected...
welp, add me to the list of rejects. very sad. also shocked that they dragged it out like this. just could've emailed me my rejection in march. not that hard.
did ANYONE get accepted/waitlisted that interviewed in February?
here are my stats..
3.4 cumulative GPA
3.93 post-bacc GPA
31 MCAT (after a 25)
interview went great i thought
sent a solid LOI
off to UNE for me

So I interviewed in middle of January and found out I was waitlisted in February and today I got a letter in the mail saying my application will no longer be considered. Is it normal to be denied post wait list, months before the cycle is actually over? I found this very odd since I wrote two letters of intent and submitted an additional letter of recommendation, so it wasn't that I wasnt remaining interested in the school. Has anyone else experienced the same thing?
You are a pretty competitive applicant especially after the retake. Yeah, it sucks they dragged everyone along for so long.
I'm sorry to hear all these rejections 🙁 . It was a strange cycle indeed. I remember following this thread since I submitted my secondary. It seemed like August-September interviewees were waitlisted for the most part. Then the October-December interviewees seemed to be accepted mostly. Then January-March.... just complete silence and rejection/WL. Weird. Don't lose hope guys, you all have amazing stats!
I agree with chillywilly. Many of us aren't first time applicants. I had to reapply this year as well. I found there are many places to get good advice on what one should do when getting ready to reply. This is one place I leaned on for guidance http://medicine.osu.edu/admissions/md/tips-and-advice/pages/index.aspx . I hope you guys don't give up. Resilience is just another thing you're tested on in life.

Wonder if they have some anti sdn list, haha. I was also rejected by mail. Not too heartbroken because things worked out very well for me in the end.
Best of luck everyone
edit: Also wanted to say that my interview sucked so I am not surprised by their decision. I wouldn't have accepted me either!

Rejected post interview. The interview went incredibly (I told a story that actually made one of the interviewers cry).
3.5 cum gpa
3.3 sgpa
31 mcat
Interviewed feb 6th
Amazing extracurriculars and have been working in a hospital for the past year. And I've been accepted to several better schools. I'd say Nova has been really sketchy with their admissions process

I didnt get anything yet, and I live 7 min away from the school. No decision on file yet, interviewed in the beginning of Feb.
I interviewed the same day and feel the EXACT same way.....
I'd say that is good 🙂 Fingers crossed for you!
Thanks🙂 I still have hope, although realistically the chances are slim...
Same here. I think we could say we are unofficially wait listed..
I hope we are not going to be rejected in a second batch. Do you have any other acceptances?
Keeping my fingers crossed for us! No I don't, do you? Nova was my first choice and I'm patiently (ha) waiting for an acceptance 😉
I don't have any other acceptances either, it was my only interview. I will be crossing my fingers for us, too🙂
Yes, I was taken off the waitlist and offered an acceptance to attend NSU but it was too late. I had already 3 acceptances from other schools and paid the deposit fee for one. Waitlist is moving.
Do you mind sharing when you were offered an acceptance? And how did they communicate with you - via phone, email or snail mail? Thanks!

When did you interview? Sorry to hear that
What do you mean by better schools?
The person is going to DMU.
