Hi

did anyone receive a email from Nova concerning financial aid? Thanks.
 
Yeah today, but prior to any secondary... Kind of strange.

I don't think I would say that... Hopefully not. My app. was mailed out the 7th of July, so it has only been a week, how about you?
 
I would say that NSU sending you info on paying for med school would be a good sign that you are getting a secondary...

I already sent in my secondary about a week or so ago and never got the financial aid email...
 
Hey Miss,

I got one too, yeah! Gl with all the extra essays that are way to similar to the PS, hmmm why did we spend all that money and time on the primarys if they ask similar questions on the sec.
 
...it doesn't get any better with any of the other schools. Just be happy that you can recycle essays from school to school.

Last year there were two different versions of the secondary. The "new" version that got sent to everyone later in the cycle had no essays. The "old" version, which only went out to the earliest ppl in the cycle. Don't worry...you're fine I'm sure.
 
does NSU send secondaries without mcat scores (i'm taking mcat in august)?

I am not sure. One of my friends forgot to release his scores, and was actually allowed to interview before releasing his scores. If that is any indication, I would say that yes they do send the secondary before MCAT scores are released.

Keep in mind, this was last year and things tend to change from year to year.
 
is anyone also applying to allopathic schools because the question is asked on the secondary application?
