Kelly,
Yes, Nova has a dress code, but from what I've experienced (I'm an M1), it is rarely enforced, if at all. Men must wear a shirt and tie; and women can pretty much wear anything that looks decent, so there is tremendous leeway. OR, both men and women can choose to wear scrubs instead of the aforementioned. 90% of the student body wears scrubs every day. (It's just easier, especially in the Florida climate. But every once and awhile it's nice to throw on a shirt and tie.) In addition, both men and women must wear or carry their white coat.
I've read posts from others saying they didn't consider Nova because of the dress code. That is ridiculous! It really is not a big deal.
Good luck with your future medical career. Feel free to post any more questions about Nova.
