[Ditto1114]

My status changed to decision pending too... but I haven't sent my letters yet because I'm waiting on my liberal arts letter.

 

[MightyMoose]

same here...lol...

Mine too! About time something on one of my apps changed. haha

 

[dna8577]

I am glad yours changed. This is my first time posting here but I have been reading this thread for a while. My application says "Pending"also, but its been like that for 2 weeks now and nothing =(. I hope to hear from them at some point (this is my second year applying to NSU)

Good Luck all

 

[vmorel1]

Just got the biggest tease in the world. I checked my email and lo and behold an email from NSU! 😀

However 🙁 it apparently was just an email informing me how to check my status lol. No interview yet, but my status has changed to "decision pending"

 

[BigBoosting]

Ha I got that e-mail too. Man I was sad when I opened it and saw it wasn't an interview invite!

 

[Lukat]

I just got the same email... when I saw the first line, I thought it was a rejection so it was a relief for me 😀

Same here. I thought I got the e-mail because maybe my letters got there since my committee letter was sent recently. Seems like the e-mail was sent to everyone?

Good luck fellas!

 

[seap3]

My heart dropped when I got it. Since it didn't say interview invite, I immediately thought it was a rejection or hold email. I also happened to be watching the NSU student testimonials at the time and was thinking how much I would love to go there. Definitely at the top of my list.

I hope they are quicker with this batch than the last batch. It looks like they got their emails and status changes on the 9th - so it was 2 weeks until invites went out. I might lose it if I have to wait that long with the constant email checks.

Good luck to everyone. I hope to see you all at an interview soon.

 

[DbDan]

Mine has been sitting on decision pending since the first day they changed statuses and they still have no decision made for me. ****ty but whatever. I have to send them an update letter about grades anyway.

[dna8577]

I really hope we all get an opportunity to go to Nova

Me toooo, gosh I almost flipped out haha. The email says "Applications will not be reviewed until MCAT scores have been received." Does everyone's say that (i.e. is it generic)? I don't know why they wouldn't have my MCAT scores already, every other school does...

Cool =) we should all be good then ...now NOVA invite us for an interview pls!

 

[oar2386]

now when you guys say you are now 'decision pending" do you mean your application screen has switched. Mine still says processed applications and list 2 different applications or is that what you mean?

When you click on the applications one of them will now have a decision box. I think it's the second one.

 

[twocentnews]

I got the same thing about MCAT scores being needed, but I already released them. It might just be a generic thing.

 

[MightyMoose]

Yeah, it looks just like that, dna8577. Thanks!

Yeah, but did yours say this in big red letters across the top!?

PLEASE DO NO RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL *


Haha. Do no respond... Gotta love it for a mass email to applicants.

This one must have been for all those people who worry about being judged for typos on their secondaries.

Wow, I didn't even notice the typo. Years of conditioning does that to you I guess....lol

 

[drctother]

Hey guys I have a question about the secondary. For list all health care related activities.... did you list with or without a description of the activity? I tried to describe shortly each of my activities but i ran out of room. Was there a format you used for each activity? Im quite lost so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

I did the smallest explanation I could =) since they have the AACOMAS app anyways with a full description.

 

[BigBoosting]

Just got the same status e-mail again.

Nova's going to be the death of me. Interview me already!!

Me too. Are they trying to torture me?

 

[BigBoosting]

I noticed my Decision Pending moved to my other application. It was on the one that said Osteo Service Application. Hope that doesn't mean I got put at the back of the stack lol

I noticed this too. I thought it was weird. I really just wish they'd stop teasing us and send out some more invites.

If I get a 3rd status email I'm really going to start believing there are some evil admin people watching SDN and laughing at us every time we freak out about the emails & weird status changes.

 

[BigBoosting]

I just like to think of it as someone at least saw that I applied lol gotta take what I can get!

I know!!! They need to start showing some more love. Definately one of my top schools. I will trade someone an AZCOM and SOMA interview straight up for a Nova haha

Check yo Webstar, people! Mine says "Decision: Invited for an Interview" now. 😀 Haven't gotten an email yet so I'm guessing it just happened today or last night (didn't say it when I checked yesterday morning).

 

[BigBoosting]

Nah, every school just wants you really bad They all probably have some wager amongst themselves to see who you'll pick

No surprise 😉

Congrats!

 

[AutumnChild]

Aw no love for me yet

me neither. my decision is still pending...

 

[drctother]

I just realized that NSU requires FOUR ref letters not three, i didnt realize they need a non-science one on top of the TWO science prof ones🙁

I might have to withdraw depending on if i can get non-science one...which sucks cuz NSU was in my top 3

Im assuming the reference letters have to be in before interview is offered? Any ideas?

 

[crazynate]

interview dates will be every tuesday and thursday starting sept 9th....just so y'all know when you receive the interview invites 🙂

 

[twocentnews]

Pretty sure letters have to be in before they'll consider you. I got an email saying they needed my DO letter in order to move forward. Can someone else confirm this?
