NSU acceptance class of 2011!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Honestly, I don't mind sharing notes. Hopefully, our class will work as a coherent unit. I'd rather have a competent colleague in the future than otherwise. I don't want to leave anyone behind.


That's the Spirit HoD! Let's just all be nice to each other and make our 4 years at NSU memorable...aint no race.. at the end of the day, we'll all be doctors 🙂 No Gunners allowed in the class of 2011!!
 
HoD is the official NSUCOM Class of 2011 Minister of Information 🙂

LOL...Minister of Information... I like that...Hey, let's make HoD our class president. I think he deserves it. When it comes for election time, Go for it HoD!! You'll have at least all the SDN'rs support behind you!

I hope you're all coherent already!! LOL! I think you meant cohesive!!

I'd sleep in too if it wasn't for the the 80% required attendance in certain classes. Blah! 😛 Besides, I retain more information when I'm in class. Good times!

That might hurt you on the coherent potential... :laugh:
Still, if you wear scrubs to class, you can doze off in the back row and feel like you're still in your PJ's in bed... sort of...

It's not a matter of deserving, but a matter of being right for the job. We'll see what happens. I'm not feeling so confident since I'm not coherent...lol. I did mean to say cohesive and Orthodoc was all over my back on that one. Wait, didn't you say you would stay away from the NSU thread? 😛

Very true, especially since the auditorium is so huge, but I haven't fallen asleep in class before. Maybe I'll start in med school, who knows...

The 😍 is mutual! Whatever the case may be, you're welcome.

I think I'll pass on that. That's disturbing. 😕

What about financial aid? School-related? Goverment-related? The general process/purpose of financial aid? I don't want to post random links.
 
All this financial aid stuff is way over my head. I've gotten my fafsa pin and I am now filling out all the info. I think I need to call a financial aid counselor at Nova to sort through all this 😕

Yea me too..... what do i do after the fafsa??

pray to god you're not selected for verification and leave you in limbo until just before school starts, wondering how you are gonna get money for med school cuz fin. aid is m.i.a. and then, just keep praying for those scholarships, and pray some more for when school starts....just pray your ass off!!!!!!!!!! god i'm so wired! I need to lay off the coffee! it's killing my nerves. .. hold on, I gotta go pray they don't fire me for being on SDN lol
 
Does Nova give scholarships? Academic or need-based? I'm thinking they don't.

FAFSA has become more comprehensive since I first started filling them out. If you have a tax return from last year (1040, W2, etc), then it'll be easier because they refer to specific line items. Be sure to retrieve this current year's instructions since the line items may have changed.

Ossari is right. You wait and hope that you're not selected for verification since that will delay the process. It is just like any application, be truthful and the process will go smoothly.

:laugh: Haven't talked to you in awhile. What's up?

Yeah they do. There are relatively few though.

http://www.nova.edu/cwis/finaid/scholarships/index.html

The Financial Aid office may have their own form to fill out for internal scholarships. If so, they will be mailing it out in the next coming months.

If you're looking for scholarships, your best bet is external scholarships. It requires work, but hey, it's free money!

It's when you don't put down your earnings as a Chippendale's dancer. Normally, if the information checks out on your FAFSA, they review and send it on through to the school. Otherwise, especially if something looks fishy, they will review your information with a fine-toothed comb to make sure you're telling the truth about your income and what not. As I indicated, if you're truthful about things there shouldn't be a problem.

Even if you put down everything truthfully, they can STILL choose you for verification.....they're just weird like that.... happened to me a few times in undergrad..but things always worked out at the end... its just a bit annoying having to wait....

Thanks, aishoo! So, kinda like an audit! How much longer does it delay your award? Do they do many of these? I have done the FAFSA thang several times, and never came across this before!

Thanks, DML! Interesting read.

I like the recorded M2. I wonder if they plan to add M1? And I would hope a No Attendance Policy will be soon to follow! Yeeeah!!!! 👍
 
Saw the M1 Fall schedule, and it sure don't look like most class days end by 3pm. 🙁 Which is 7 hours and 🙁 anyways. But a nine hour day of lecture is 🙁 🙁 and 😕 as well as 😡 and really 😴
 
Hey, we get our money deposited toward tuition back in the form of financial aid money in our budget, right?

I'm going down this week to look at housing. The first day of class is August 6th, Medstart begins July 23rd and orientation starts July 30th. I'm not sure if Medstart is mandatory.
 
Do you guys think it's a bit early to be hunting for a place in florida?

Not to start looking to get a general sense of prices, availability, neighborhoods, distance from school, moving costs, etc. I don't know nearly as much as I need to know about this process, so I've been scouting potential rentals online for about two weeks, trying to figure out all the stuff I'll need to know when I get serious about signing a lease in a few months. I figure I'll have to fly down and hopefully line up a bunch of places to check out. I do foresee much pain in the hiney.
 
and miss the chance to be a beach bum and see the nightlife for a month?? nawww
 
Medstart is optional. Orientation is mandatory.
