Anyone know if its true that NOVA rejects a lot of people if they apply to more then a certain number of schools? NOVA and UNLV were they only schools that asked where or how many schools you applied too.. I am hoping I don't get rejected from schools just because I applied to 18...


I was told by a friend that got rejected from NOVA last year that they will reject you if you apply to more then 5 schools?

Go on predents and click on Nova and ppl who have been accepted to that school. count the number of schools each student applied to. if u r right, i am Screeeewed.

That's not accurate. I know of someone that applied to more than 18 schools and got an invite to NOVA last week.

You're stats look strong. Keep up hope for the interview!

Believe me. It is not true.

agree. I applied to more than 5 schools and got an interview from NOVA last week.

just because u apply to 20 schools doesnt mean you would have written 20 schools. what if you only wrote 6 schools? then they wouldn't know that you applied to 20 obviously!

someone from last year should comment on this, rather than just give speculation

 

[tmirchel]

Thanks for the info. I am just wondering if anyone else has heard the same. I had two friends not apply there for that reason...

If it doesn't affect admissions, then why would they ask us to put it down.

I applied to 15 schools and got an interview pretty fast last year. I wasn't accepted though. Withdrew my app after i got in my top choice, TuftS 🙂

Because NOVA interviews so many people, only about 4% of the people they interview will be given acceptances! Smile and look around, because 96% of the people around you are screwed 🙂

According to the ADEA handbook, last year ~3400 applied, they interviewed 400, and accepted 110.
3-4% of applicants got accepted, but 27.5% of interviewees.

I stand corrected lol!

 

[budda10000]

Well I hope not! I applied to 14 UNLV being one of my favored choices.

Don't sweat it. I'm starting at UNLV this year and applied to 13 schools last year.

 

[jhanago]

I applied to 24 schools and got an interview. I wrote down every school.

my interview is tomorrow matter of fact

I heard the number is 17+

Nova is suffering from the new school complex and doesn't want to be at the bottom of an applicant's totem pole.

Is it 110 accepted or 110 enrolled? There is a distinct difference. If Nova is not a first choice for most interviewees, then they have to keep interviewing to fill up the class size.

I thought schools could see all the schools to which you applied on the AADSAS app, no? Thus, this question could also be a trap to see if one is lying lol.

110 enrolled. They accept a lot more I imagine. They have a pretty large class, and being that they are private and don't show heavy preference to Floridians, they get a ton of people wanting a good school to apply to "on an even playing field" I would guess.

Also, the more than 5 or so schools thing doesn't seem to matter. I listed 11 schools and still got an interview.

 

[PilotG2Pen]

I applied to 33 schools and received interviews from both schools. Pretty sure they don't care.
