NOVA is my first choice and I heard they start their interview pretty early in the cycle. Good luck to all of u!
you sent everything through PharmCAS already?
I am probably going to submit it tomorrow after someone finishes proofreading my personal statement. Do they send you the supp application right after you submit or does it take some time
I submitted my app but they haven't calculated my GPA yet, so either NOVA hasn't sent the supplementals yet or they are waiting for my app to be confirmed. Once my GPA is calculated I will let you know
It asks for so many things that are already in PharmCAS...
I also got a call, but it was to inform me that they have not received my PharmCAS application (even though it has already been verified). I will speak with NOVA again on Tuesday to see if they got the application, if not, they have to speak directly with PharmCAS to solve this problem...
UF is my top choice, hoping they call me for an interview.
I was shocked I got an interview let alone accepted. What campus are you shooting for?
When is your interview?
Do you currently go there? If so how do you like it
Same here
the earliest date to pick for me was oct 3damn... when do the interviews start????
My application got verified 8/25 but just today I got an email from NOVA saying that they just received my PharmCas application....
I sent my supplemental on 8/27. Hopefully I hear from them soon
At what time ? I also picked that date lol
I believe it was at 8:15am
Haha me too, I'll see you there man!
Some people don't sleep at all in pharmacy school. Lolthat's wayyy too early for me lol... I need to get it later in the day so that I can at least sleep 2-5 hours
just got an interview invite too!
is it just me, or the only available date and time is October 3rd at 8:15am?
I guess i will also see u guys there
it looks like this is the first group of interviews, which is great for us!
It depends, it only took them 5 days to verify my 120 credits. But I have seen people here that submitted at the begging of August and are still waiting. A friend of mine submitted his application just a few days before you and is also still waiting
Also, after PharmCAS verified my application, it took NOVA over a week to receive it...
they told me the same thing when I called them, that it would take 4 weeks, but they did it in 5 days... That's a way to make people stop calling them lol...
for those that might want to know!
Oct 17 will be the 2nd interview date
I interviewed there last year and did end up liking it. Its a big school with plenty to keep you busy. I mostly liked the classroom building. Something about the fact that you will be taking classes in the same building as the med, dental, PA, and nursing students stood out to me. Its a good way to make connections and at the same time learn about other healthcare professions. Couple of students I interviewed with last year said they love it and are learning alot.
anything that is not science, is liberal arts, including math. I myself did not get a liberal arts LOR. I had 2 science, 1 pharmacist and 1 pre-health adviser. A pharmacist can replace any LOR, including the liberal arts if you can't get it.
just go here: http://schools.studentdoctor.net/school/nova-pharm/survey/29 , scroll down and read the questions there. Thats how I have been preparing. I was also there last Sunday for a mock interview, and the questions they asked me came from here. You also need to pay attention to your pharmcas. Since its open file, they can ask you about ANYTHING they see.
Thanks! I decided to apply to pharmacy school on a whim in August so I haven't really looked into interview questions or the format yet. Since this would be a second career for me, I am sure I will be asked about that. I guess what I was more interested in was the format of how the interview is structured, i.e., group setting, individual, number of interviewers, etc., as well as the demeanor of the interviewers.
I asked that too lol. It will be two interviewers asking you questions (you will be alone during the interview, but during the rest of the day it will be a group). NOVA loves the good cop/ bad cop interview format, but it doesn't mean they use it for everyone. I was also told that it's really important that you apply early. The earlier you apply, the more laid back your interview will be.
Thanks, you really have provided a wealth of information since I started asking questions on here! I just submitted the supplemental application yesterday, so hopefully that is considered applying early enough. I graduated from Nova's law school a few years ago but there was no interview process for law school. Hopefully, I am offered an interview. I hope your interview goes well, although you seem extremely prepared so I don't foresee you having any issues.
thank you! And you applied really early too! Just prepare with the questions I sent you and you will be fine. If you just sent your supplemental, you will hear from them soon. I think you are still in time for the Oct 17th interview, if not, next one is November 3rd
