Nova Southeastern Univ (NSU-COM) Discussion Thread 2014 - 2015

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I called Nova today and they said that decisions have been made and that letters have been sent out (or are going to be sent out). We should know within the week. Admission information cannot be shared over the phone. Good luck everyone!!😀
So no acceptances over phone or through email?

When I was accepted earlier this year (March 20), I received the news via email and mail. This should be the case for you guys as well. Good luck! 🙂 :xf:
Oh ok, when I called today I specifically asked if they were sending emails and she said no. But when I interviewed they said we would get a call if it was an acceptance they also said that would be by May 1st. So I don't know what to expect really.
 
I doubt that they would send acceptances just by snail mail. It seems like we are all wait listed or rejected. I was initially supposed to hear back on April 17th and they kept delaying the committee meeting. I really think that less people declined than they thought they would so they don't have spots to accept people.

Way to be optimistic lol... They told me between 1/8 and 1/10 of the seats were still available on my interview day in April...
 
🙁 Gosh I hope that's not the case. So many people who are so deserving are waiting to hear back. I live in Ft Laderdale, I wish I could just drive there and ask! Snail mail will kill me.

They told me that they had a lot of seats available at my interview in mid-March as well. However, schools typically accept about 2x the class size so they are likely talking about this number rather than the number of seats they actually have in the class. Trust me, I truly hope that this is not the case because I love the school. I just don't know how else to feel when admissions has not answered my calls, my decision has been delayed multiple times, and now they are saying decisions are being mailed rather than saying "decisions will come by phone call, email or mail".
 
Anybody call NSU to check on status updates?
I called this morning and the little automated voice said "your wait should be less than 30 minutes!" and I decided I didn't want to wait 30 minutes to be told the same thing again. 🙁

I feel like we should all just wait lol... We're going to get decisions anyway no point in spamming them with calls :/
 
Does anybody else worry that NSU like, keeps track of these calls? And they'll see that we've each individually called like 30 times since last June? :laugh: I bet when my phone number pops up on the caller ID they all groan.

This whole process has made me the most neurotic person ever. Can't even imagine what med school is going to do to me ..
 
Who wants to volunteer as tribute and give admissions a call today?
 
Update: I called lol...
Letters have been sent out. Now we wait.
 
You guys are great! :laugh: I sure do hope you all get in, you're amazing. I'm glad to be your companion in med school misery 😉
 
The fact that they're doing snail mail makes me nervous
And I agree - I'm nervous about that too. But hey, if we get wait listed, we can hope for some movement. They said that last year waitlisters got in. Fingers crossed they're just snail mailing acceptances too

Did anyone get an acceptance without a call or email? Does anyone have experience with this that can comment?
 
This is such bull
Out if 64 people we were all sent letters?
I kept in touch with everyone I interviewed with just because I'm ocd and need to know everything eveRyday.
And not one person got a call or email.
everyone was just kept in the dark and was told "letters have been sent out on Wednesday" and they should be in in about a week.
Which is 21 days late.....

I find it impossible that they rejected or wait listed everyone.
What was the point of the interview then.

That's why I'm so frustrated. I don't know what to think.
 
No letter in my mailbox, I just now got home from work, and I live right near NSU. No mail at all in my box actually. #unpopular
 
I am really frustrated too....especially since they kept emphasizing being honest and open about the process during interviews. My interview group definitely had very strong candidates in it so I don't see how it's possible for every single person that interviewed since mid-March to be waitlisted or rejected. I don't know how they could have overshot their mark by so much, so early on that they don't have a single seat to offer someone. I am glad that we at least have each other to vent to through this stressful time :/

Well when they tell you they have 30-38 seats left I assumed half of us would get in and the rest would be majority wait listed.

That is exactly what I thought. It gave me false hope and it really sucks.

I am in the same boat. Maybe, though, it's not false hope - we'll see! Nobody's heard anything yet, right? Everybody at NSU Admissions was so kind and I really have a hard time believing they would blanket deny or wait list 64+ people who worked hard and prepped for an interview and all that.

Ok I talked to administration yesterday.

Have it in writing that all decisions accepted wait listed or rejected we're sent via mail.
There is no easter eggs among us who go emails.
Means we are all in the same boat and it's fine to have some false or Real hope.
Cheers everyone

Well, I just got my waitlist letter. Good luck to the rest of you.
 
@GatorsKW14 don't lose hope! I know many people who were wait listed at NSU and ultimately ended up going there 🙂 Sending good vibes your way!

I appreciate it! I am accepted to another DO school (and I am on 2 MD waitlists) so at least I will become a doctor one way or another. This school just felt like a much better fit for me. I am hoping that it all works out for us!
 
I just called and they wouldn't tell me.. They said I was still "under review" but a letter was sent to me.. Does that mean hold or waitlist? Gah
Call the counsellors directly
