Hi everyone! I just had my interview today and I'm truly impressed with NOVA! It was such a positive and exciting experience. The faculty members that we met were very nice and friendly. Jeff, the admission counselor, is amazing! Wanted to wish everyone with upcoming interviews good luck! 🙂 Very anxious to hear back! Fingers crossed!

Just wondering. Did they happen to tell you how long it'll be after the interview until you hear back from them?
 
VTL said:
Yes, the interviewers said 4-6 weeks but it shouldn't take that long, hopefully. I received an e-mail from NOVA today and almost fell out of my chair, but it was an e-mail about their open house lol.

lol thanks! i'm the same way too every time i see a pharmacy school email
 
for those of you that just interviewd with NOVA this cycle, do you mind sharing your stats?
 
I had my interview yesterday. Everything was going well. Everybody was nice but my interviewers were not. I guess i was not that lucky as many. I feel he was mean and he was cutting me off when i was answering the questions. He asked me what would I do if I don't get accepted. That question made me doubt 🙁 they said it will take 4-6 weeks to get an answer but i am scared 🙁 i have great grades n overall i answered all the questions. If any of u get an acceptance/rejection letter anytime soon please let us n good luck on ur interviews

I have friends who go to NOVA now and they had mixed feelings about the interview process too. Some said the interviewers were nice and made you feel comfortable and others said their interview was pretty intense and intimidating. I guess we all have a 50/50 chance when it comes to this. Did they happen to ask you to write an essay during your interview?

No. They did not ask me to write an essay. They asked me about genomes in pple. Which i did not get the answer bcause i was nervous and of course i was not expecting that type of question.

Hi all,
I submitted my application in July,2013
My stats are

3.45 overall same as science
4+ years of being a certified tech for walgreens
300+ community service as a youth group teacher.
PCAT 29% (very low I know 🙁 )
Do you guys think I will have a chance of getting an interview with Nova?🙁

It looks like your pcat is below the cut off. If it is 55, then I would think you may have a chance.
 
Had interview today.
It went alright hopefully I will be one of you guys classmate...
 
I got an interview here on Monday but not sure if I want to drive the 16 hours. How's the school? Is it a nice area?

That was such a fast turn around! Congratulations on your acceptance! Would you mind sharing your interview experience with them?

The interview was really nothing to be afraid of. I am a person who's always nervous in any interview but this interview was very relaxing and they just ask you really basic questions.
My only advice is to apply early and if you get interview early you guys should be fine.... Good luck

You have to take into consideration that there is a lot of competition. If I were you, i would retake the PCAT and try to get a better score! At least above 50 to better your chances. It happened to me last year. Jeff called me in september and suggested to retake the exam. I did and thats when they offered me an interview. A month later i was put in the alternate list and finally accepted 2 weeks before orientation...
Keep trying because if it happened to me it can happened to you too 😉
Good luck!

Jeff called and told me to retake the PCAT in September. I think we are on the same boat here 😉 I am definitely retaking the PCAT 🙂 thanks for the insight.

Ha trust me the interviews are not bad at all and thank you!
 
For those who had their interviews already how was the group interview portion of it all? I think out of the individual and group interviews I'm more stressed about the group one more
 
how long does it take to hear back for an interview invite after you have submitted your app?
 
Interview's all done. And now comes one of the hardest part.....waiting. I really liked this school and nova has always been my top choice to go to. The program itself is something I admire & of course the location is gorgeous as well. Hope I get in *fingers crossed*

I interviewed on Thursday and they told me that they'd probably be making calls today, but I also haven't heard anything. I'm so nervous.
