I love it here the environment is great and I'm not just saying Florida beach and whatnot since we really don't have time to go out but definitely amazing ... The M2 are super helpful and so are the master students (they took the main sciences classes during their masters so they tutor us the M1)

Btw I saw a few of you on Tuesday some of you dropped by the OPP lecture which was nice Dr. Boesler is awesome and super nice and said hi to some of you ... Another group that was touring with Tyler saw our biochem lecture (sorry u saw that!) People don't like to go to biochem plus everybody is crazy studying for the anatomy test which is coming up on Monday!!!! >.<

Anywho lol nova is awesome and with great resources! 🙂

This is for everybody feel free to PM with any questions don't chat me because it goes to my alerts and I can miss the message ... Ur free to copy and share anything I say to u but I'm just asking for this so I don't miss ur msg 🙂 happy interviewing!
I saw the biochem lecture with Tyler and Zach! I thought it was pretty amusing tbh, and your professor seemed super well-meaning but just a bit dry.. but then again, biochem tends to be a bit dry anyway. 😛 goodluck on your anatomy test!
 
hahah why do you say that, you bright ray of sunshine, you? [emoji12]
I'm all too familiar with the "overpromise and underdeliver" aspect of interview decisions. No matter how soon they actually get back to us, it won't be quick enough to satisfy our neurosis. And I also speak from personal experience.

Who knows. Maybe I will be wrong this time. I certainly hope that's the case.

fair enough, we'll hope for the best and try to keep that neurosis in check. (;
 
Did anybody else get an e-mail saying that a date was missing from their application, and they needed to sign and return some form?

Also is the secondary they e-mail to you afterwards supposed to be password protected? Weird
 
Got a rejection via snail mail. Oh well! I have one acceptance already and several interviews other places.

Any reapplicants have any success? I applied last year pretty late in the cycle (complete in December), 3.6cgpa, 3.9sgpa, 503 mcat., 2,000+ clinical hours. Nova is my #1 so I'm hoping this cycle works out 🙂
 
For those who got acceptance or rejections, what was the time frame between your complete call and this correspondence? Trying not to have unrealistic expectations.....

First interview Group was this week so none of us have acceptances.

I got the complete call 7/5 and II on 07/22.

Its still really early in the process so I wouldn't worry until at least early November.

Thanks for the info! I only got the complete call on Monday, so I'm not worrying yet, just trying to figure out what to expect for my own (neurotic) peace of mind haha

I submitted my secondary and all documents late July. I called the school and they confirmed that everything was received, however I am yet to receive any sort of complete phone call or email. Anyone else in the same situation?

Same thing happened to me. I called them because I received an e-mail saying I was missing my MCAT, despite them receiving it a few weeks prior, and they said not to worry, my app was under review.
 
are we allowed to reschedule our interviews? i don't think the interview website gives us the ability to change the date ourselves.

Yep. Spoke with a rep last week and he told me that I should take the fact that I havent heard anything as a good sign, though.
 
Should I pull the trigger on applying here? I have a 3.42 cgpa and 3.3 sgpa with a 25 MCAT. I am retaking the MCAT on Sept. 10th so I was wondering if I should apply here now or wait till I get my score back and apply here?

Tough. I'd personally wait, that is if you are consistently testing at your target score.

I would agree with the group to wait.

If you submitted in June with that mcat score I could see you getting by to a II with a smaller applicant pool but now it's getting to the MD caliber apps coming in and a 28 equivalent will be required

So I didn't realize I got my NSU secondary until today... a month after I got the invite. I don't know how I missed it. Would it be late to send it in by this weekend? I know people already have interviews for this school. I have a LizzyM of 63
