I chose Nova over 7 other medical schools simply because it was overall a good school. Everyone, from adminstration to the students, were very friendly and on top of things. If I had a question, someone was eager to answer or find out for me during my interview.
Like others have stated with their own medical school experiences, I saw this as a place where most of the students were very happy. I received very few complaints about the school. This was one of the few schools where the Dean actually sat down with the interviewees and had a nice, lengthy conversation. He actually took the time to learn our names during the interview and talk to us about where we came from.Dr. Slivgani is hilarious and an amazing person. In regards to the education, I have heard from many physicians that this is an outstanding school. Great clinical sites to train at as well. Furthermore, who wouldn't want to go to school in South Florida. 😎 😎
In regards as to why there aren't too many NSUCOM posts, I can tell you my personal experience. Being an Ohio resident, I intended on going to an instate school rather than out of state. I applied to NSUCOM as a shot in the dark. Didnt really know to much about the school other than it's GREAT location (Fort Lauderdale 😍 ). I recieved an interview and went down there. Truly amazed. Quickly, it supplanted my in state medical school as my number one choice. I considered it a "hidden gem." Some people shun away NSUCOM due to tuition. I had a friend from Alabama who turned down NSUCOM for University of South Alabama...a difference of 21,000 a year in tuition. He told me if he would have gotten the same tuition at NSUCOM as he did at USA he would have came in a heart beat. Yet, there a lot of people who really don't know aobut it till they come and visit. Once they visit, they are amazed. I guess you just have to see it to believe it. 🙂 🙂
