Can anyone in the know confirm?

Can anyone in the know confirm?

I went to UG at NSU. Happens a lot, esp w/ their own UG students.

Ummm how do you know if your complete at this school? They have all my stuff (LORs, etc) and I called 2 times and they said my application was sent for review. That was like a month and a half ago. LizzyM score is 70. Maybe it's cause I'm Canadian?

 

[cptnjack]

the wait for decisions is killllling me

If you got the call that your app was forwarded for review, that means your app was complete.

any Canadians hear back from this school? Acceptance, rejections, waitlist?? My application is complete here but I never heard anything back

I'm on the same boat, but NOT Canadian. Got a complete call ~10/20 and silence since.

EDIT: NOT CANADIAN LOLOL

 

[Clarus]

Withdrawing my interview and application from here, good luck everyone!

 

[gamieg]

officially withdrew my acceptance here today.
good luck and happy holidays, everyone!

 

[NorthFlorida]

Thankful for everyone declining acceptances, because I got my II just today! Submitted my application 10/05

Nice! I sent my secondary in around that time and was marked complete mid October. Still waiting patiently!

 

[SikhWitIT]

Hey guys. I just got an interview for this school today. Pretty excited. What should I be expecting? Thanks.

 

[bondi12]

Has anyone from the 11/15 interview heard back yet?

 

[MDspartan]

Congrats! Did you ever receive a 'pending applicant' letter in the mail?

 

[cptnjack]

im from the 11/10 group and I still havent heard anything

 

[NorthFlorida]

Nope! Just an e-mail. However a friend of mine who was rejected pre-interview received a rejection letter in the mail

 

[nat0326]

I interviewed 11/3 and still haven't heard either. It seems some people heard really fast and others are still waiting. I'm wondering if they are waiting until the 14th to see how many accepted students put deposits for that first cut-off, but I could be totally wrong. I hope I'm wrong because the waiting game is rough lol

 

[MADD!!!]

Is this your top-choice school so far?

 

[Zelk]

Just rejected their offer. Hope one of you get an early Christmas gift

 

[cptnjack]

Is this your top-choice school so far?

one of them yes

 

[mfisch333]

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

i'm looking for this too!

 

[holdthemayo]

I also declined my acceptance today. Best of luck everyone!

 

[TDO3]

Anyone in 10/20 interview group receive a decision? So eager to hear back already!

 

[EnigmaticScale]

NOVA is a great school but I'm going to cancel my interview and withdraw my application.
Hope it goes to someone in need of it.

The entire SDN community has been of utmost help!

Jan 19th Open

 

[NecrotizingFasciitis]

Does anybody know if you can apply for the DO/PhD program after you've been accepted? I don't know if I'd be competitive with my undergrad stats (first couple years bringing me down) but maybe after a year in med school?

This is completely theoretical, I don't have an interview here or anything.. but it may help me decide whether or not I send an academic update (I got pre-interview wait listed.)

 

[AJMAQ94]

Hey guys~

JUST submitted AACOMAS -__-
I had to wait until the end of this semester before I could submit...
I applied here (IS) and 4 other schools. Do you think I am basically SOL? I know how important it is to apply as early as possible, but this was the earliest I could do.
I know Nova's deadline is 1/15 and all the other D.O. schools I applied to are in march/beginning of April. I really hope there is still time to get secondaries and hopeful II!
Thoughts??

Both of your GPA's are really, really good. And it sounds like you have a lot of great experiences. I'd say your MCAT would be the only thing to hold you back a bit-but that doesn't mean it can't be done!

 

[Aleezah451]

Locked in here!

yes, i'm sure you can. they make it easy to start all sorts of dual degrees during M1.

 

[deleted795531]

i don't remember exactly, but it was definitely a little longer than i expected.

Has anyone who received fee assistance from AACOMAS gotten a reimbursement from Nova for the secondary fee?

i've called a few times for the last few months and each time they told me to wait....it's actually getting annoying

I feel you, same here. And I dont want to keep calling and sound desperate for $50 (even though I kinda am lol)
