Okay I released my 11/15 date if anyone here wants it. Unfortunately now my 1/10 is no longer available so I'm currently holding 1/26 and will hope to get back to my original 1/10.

[cptnjack]

Nothing needed. It's an easy day, albeit long. Good luck out there!

 

[zbrittingham]

Submitted 7/7. LORs in 9/6. Marked complete last night. Finally.

 

[Zelk]

Is there any MS1's or MS2's I could PM to ask a few questions?

 

[milkweed2112]

interviewing tmrw, any tips guysssss and galsssss?

oops sorry, i'm a bit late. hope it went well though!
for anyone interviewing in the near future - i think the best advice i can give is the standard know why you want to go to nova (in moderate detail) and why you want to pursue osteopathic medicine etc. the rest of the interview questions come from your app/experiences. and i second beachblondie... they day is quite long so make sure you get some sleep!!

 

[jhg1232]

yup^ know your app, why nova, why DO, the basic questions for an interview

 

[cptnjack]

that lunch was...the bombbbbb, fingers crossed for good news

 

[kwright26]

I read somewhere (maybe even this thread?) that Nova suspends further interviews through the month of December, so after this wave there will likely not be any more interviews until January. Is this true? Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Can confirm (source: admissions member told me). They are booked for the remainder of this month and have been scheduling into next year for couple of weeks now.

 

[Doggowar7]

Interview here, 1/19, kinda bummed out about the later date but this is a top choice for me.

 

[slim_pickens]

Was interviewing in January, but will be cancelling due to being accepted by UIW here in Texas.

Hope it goes to a deserving candidate!

[kazekage2016]

Does anyone know how many people are on the pending list?

 

[thehappydoctor]

I was accepted here last week as well! Congratulations to other accepted, and good luck to those pending decisions!

Is there any type of group for the accepted to find roommates/ housing/get to know new classmates?

 

[Zelk]

I'm still waiting to talk to a current student to ask some questions.

 

[NotAMorningPerson]

You can PM me.

 

[Doggowar7]

congrats! when were you complete?

I think october.

 

[NekoBeats]

If any applicants or current students have questions about Nova, especially related to clinical rotations, applying to residency, opportunities to pursue the specialty you're thinking of, and matching, then there are a couple upperclassmen including myself, and an alumni floating around. We don't check the thread all the time though, so it's better to just send us a PM.

As for application related questions (waitlist, #interviews, etc), I usually defer to the M1s and M2s as the application cycle changes every year and it's been four years or more since some of us applied to medical school. Wow I can't believe I just typed that. Four years..

 

[tacticalmilk]

Is there a class of 2021 FB page up?

 

[oogieboogie123r]

Did anyone else get an email saying the deposit was due today, even if it's not due until next month?

same here! i wouldnt worry about it, they made it clear many times its due december 14. i think their automated system just had a glitch

Okay, hah, thank you! I was starting to freak out because I'm waiting for another result (probably a rejection, but we'll see) and didn't want to double-dip with my finances.

Holy crap did that scare me though.

 

[crazycattoday]

Hey guys when is the due date for the acceptance packet? Is that also december 14? and does that packet mean that you accept going to that school or is it just to basically reserve your seat - just like we do by paying the deposit

 

[mfisch333]

Accepted last Weds! Go Sharks!
Submitted primary 6/6, Secondary Submitted 7/11, Interview offer 7/20, Interviewed 10/5.
Took me a week to sort out some things but I'm accepting the offer! Can't wait to see you guys in August!!
P.S. Anyone know when classes start or when white coat is???

 

[member212121]

Has anyone had luck emailing the admissions office? I've sent at least three emails over a couple of months now and haven't heard anything back. I got the complete phone call in August and nothing since.

I usually don't have a problem getting a hold of them, I get a response within 24 hours usually.

Waitlisted here for interview. I'm out of region though, from the Pacific northwest. Makes sense.

[nat0326]

Has anyone received a decision who interviewed 11/3? I assume I'm waitlisted/rejected at this point unfortunately.

 

[oogieboogie123r]

So does anyone happen to have access to a school calendar for last year? Trying to plan things in July/August.

 

[bondi12]

I wouldn't be too concerned yet. I interviewed 11/15, and they only said that we'll know sometime before Christmas. So that's a potential waiting period of over a month. And looking back, it looks like some August/September interviewers found out in 8 days, and others in a month. Hoping the best for you!

 

[Doctor_Strange]

Looks like I got rejected pre-interview. Oh well, good luck to everyone else.

cheer up. I got a hold early on, but I'm not holding my breath. good luck on your other apps!!

How did you find out?

 

[Doctor_Strange]

How did you find out?

Without going into too much details, through a faculty connection.

 

[Mr. D.O.five]

Cool. Did you attend NSU for undergrad? I hear having "connections" doesn't really help for this school.

I did not.
