NSU acceptance class of 2011!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hmmm, good point! I wonder how much of a factor school preference affects admission to a program? I am pretty keen on getting out to California, hopefully San Francisco. Got a lot of good friends out there. Not to mention an abundance of great food and kung fu masters! Especially my teacher's teachers! WaaTaaaAHH!!!!

Are you Asian? Huge Asian population out there in Cali. As far as school preference.. I think it plays a minimal role, but it might be wise to ask someone who has either gone through the process recently or is about to.

I'm having the same thoughts about school reputation. UNE graduates are all over New England, but NSU doesn't have a high representation in New England. However, what truly matters is where you do fourth year electives. I feel fairly confident that I'll be able to secure a few in New England. Of course, this depends on a competitive COMLEX and USMLE score.

Speculation doesn't cut it, but I'm considering all possibilities.
 
if u feel equally happy at 2 schools..but one is where you want to do residency...go to the closer school!!!..however if u feel that the other school would make you significantly happier and the school is a "better fit" then i suggest go to that school...being happy while in school will likely allow for you to do better in school..relatively to the other school and therefore a better residency at watever location u please..this is my theory anyways ..i'll let u know in 2010 if it works 🙂

No, not asian: goofy white guy! 👍 Love San Francisco though! Great diversity, no snow and no garish humidty! Beautiful place. WaaTaaahHH!

Thanks for the advice! *balance shifts to NSU* :laugh:

You remind me of my friend - she's from San Franciso and loves doing Kung Fu!

I'm also looking to move out to northern CA after my stint in Florida.
I love no humidity. 😍
 
welcome aboard the crazy train... Alllllll Aboard!!!!!!!!!!!

I can second the recommendation for Palm Trace. Everything mentioned before is completely true and just what I would have said. I live there now in a 4 bedroom and my rent is only $520, thats after splitting the total 4 ways. This is the only complex around the school that has 4 bedroom apartments, at least we didn't find any others. If you are looking for just a single or a double though, I would look elsewhere.

Also, if you do end up going with Palm Trace, try to get one on the third floor. Sure it'll suck moving in but you have vaulted ceilings, which make a huge difference.😀

Sweet. THanks for that info!

Nice. I'll be around at the end of January. Is there a possibility that I can check out the interior?

No problem. Just shoot me an e-mail when its gets closer to that time. ([email protected]) The leasing office will give you a tour but I don't know if they have a model apartment to show.
 
Thanks! Toothless, *tag* you're it. I sent you an email.
I was thinking about sending an email to the 2011 listserve to say hi and introduce myself. Think that would be stupid? I just want to meet others who are not on SDN that are planning to matriculate to Nova.

not a bad idea, except that most of our classmates haven't been accepted yet

We both did. If you have your NSU ID, you can get your PIN. There are multiple ways of retrieving it. You must provide a combination of identifying information such as NSU ID, email name, date of birth, etc.

I just got accepted on Friday 🙂

I'm still going to see what happens at a few other schools, but I would be extremely happy at NSUCOM.

I'm so excited!

Thanks! I haven't received anything in the mail yet, so I don't know. I just got the phone call and they said I should get something in the mail soon.

Where is the 2011 listserv? I signed up, got my nsu email address and all I can see are all of the student organization listserves.

Thanks!

PS: Congrats to recent acceptees 🙂

you have to send a specific e-mail to SSimpson to get put on the listserv. It's in that letter they send you with instructions on how to set up you're e-mail.

Ahhh that may explain it. I paid by phone and all I received was a letter that had my NSU pin.

I just followed the online directions to set up my email address.
 
wat up all!!

here's a lil advice from a 4th yr at nsu who is originally from chi-town(chicago). I got into many schools near home and around the midwest, but I found NSU to be the best fit for me and had the best facilities and rotations that I was looking for. Its reputation is excellent in the midwest and we have grads in Yale, Johns Hopkins, NYU, Boston University, etc....so I think u don't have to worry about its reputation anywhere. We got grads from coast to coast, whether u like snoop dogg or notorius...it dont matter. I am gettin interviews from all over the nation including Brown U., Wash U in St.Louis, and plenty of midwest programs(all allopathic, in case u care). Dont worry about what people say ...ask the 4th years and residents who graduated from NSU for the real advice. Email me if u have any questions...send me a private message and I'll give u my email. I have no regrets. And I got plenty of friends going into competitive specialties such as anesthesiology, ER, surgery, etc...who are getting interviews at top 5 allopathic residency programs. Good luck to all of you who come here!!!

Well, boys and girls, looks like I may be one of the latest additions to NSU. Jusst got that ubiquitous phone call from the adcom, congratulating me on getting in. Did any of you interview on the 7th?

Anyhoo, I look forward to meeting you guys soon. 🙂 Congrats to everyone else who got in.

Hey, congrats on getting thru your first semester of med school! Yeah, I'm really looking forward to next year: beautiful school, great program (worried about excruciating humidity though)! Do you have any impressions/ advice for first semester, or things that you learned that you found out were different than you expected in med school? Do you feel that you had enough time to get everything done and still have a life, etc? Thanks!
