NSU-COM Discussion Thread 2011-2012

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
hey, just wondering if we can send the letters through interfolio electronically? or did everyone did it by mail from interfolio? Thanks

electronically.. it's way faster
 
Does anybody know what days of the week Nova does interviews?
And what their December dates are?
 
Anyone interviewing this Thursday and staying at the Holiday Inn?
 
does anyone know if NSU sends you "pre-interview rejection" updates/emails?

I've been complete here since August/September and the lady I e-mailed says I've been complete and under review... but haven't heard anything since.

I hope my application didn't "get lost". In-state, My GPA is, okay... 3.42s/3.42c and >10 on all sections on my MCAT.

Should I call for status check?

Yes, you should call. You should've gotten an interview with those stats.

Thanks, I just called.
The lady I e-mailed in September said she received my new MCAT, but webstar might not update.
The person I spoke with on the phone said they received everything it's a waiting game from here. He was very nice and offered to take a look at my file (as I probably sounded worried). I double checked about my new MCAT score. NADA!

He then retrieved the new score and now it's with my file. Hope to hear back soon...

Thanks again :laugh:
 
I was curious if you needed to have a DO rec or a committee letter. Has anyone gotten an interview before they submitted their DO letter. My reference is taking their time writing it for me:meanie:

I had a LOR from an MD and I was interviewed/accepted- so I would say no...

😱 Oh WOW!! Really????? I thought that they stated you needed a DO rec? I have a strong MD letter. What were your stats if you don't mind me asking. I am applying with 3.8/26m. were your numbers high to where they did not care? Should I call them to verify?
 
I think the committee is meeting today to make decisions for the applicants who interviewed a week or two before. I'm one of them.

For the people already accepted, how long after the committee meeting were you guys notified via email, mail, webstar, etc?

Crossing my fingers...
 
does anyone have an email for someone that has actually responded that they could post or pm me? I need to update them that I won't be completing two planned courses I listed. I emailed anastasia and the hpdadmissioninfo email and got no response. I called and was told it was ok but i would really like to have something in writing.

Any help is appreciated. Congrats to everyone and good luck to those with interviews coming up!

Try just [email protected]. It usually takes the guy answering this address 2-3 days to respond, though, but it's the only one i've had any luck with.
 
Interview invite!!! Anyone else interviewing on 12/9?

that's awesome man and gives me hope. I just fully completed my secondary and LORs two weeks ago. I have a 3.67 cGPA and 3.74 sGPA with a 27P MCAT. Also have very strong ECs, so that def gives me some hopes. I was afraid I submitted waaaaay too late and that I was screwed. Good luck to you!

That is good news! I was also in the same boat. Just finished submitting a little over a week ago. 3.8, 26M. Hope t meet you all in the class room this upcoming year!:xf:
 
Withdrew my app from NOVA. Nov the 29 is now free for an interview. Good luck!

I also submitted my secondary about a week ago, oh man....if CMED12 didn't get notified 'till now, does that mean we will not hear for many months?

Some postings from earlier years mention being invited about a week after submitting the secondary. All my letters, signature page, and secondary were in on Friday....I guess nothing I can do now but wait 🙁

CMED said he wasn't fully submitted until a couple weeks ago, so he heard in about a 2 week time span. Hopefully we hear something very soon!
 
Recieved an invite to experience day on 12/9. I am so psyched.

I submitted the first week of October and just got word yesterday, don't give up hope
 
For those of you who have done your interview or are currently M1, M2, etc...... What is the surrounding area like? Any of you have a family? Good area's to purchase a house or rent a decent house? Elementary Schools in the area. Obviously the palm beach-Fort Lauderdale- Miami area is quite big so I don't mind driving a little ways to allow my family to be in a good area. Thanks in advance!!!!

I called today to check to make sure they had everything and they said that they said that my recs haven't made it to my file yet.

Anyone who is going to the experience day on 12/9, what's the difference between this and the traditional interview day? and Are you getting there early on the 8th?

PS. I'm a girl
 
I've been complete since August... and I called to confirm everything was received. still no word. I'm pretty sure they skipped over my app

:scared:
 
Complete 10/14, have not heard anything
stats: 3.46 GPA (both s and c), 37M MCAT, Ivy League grad, Drexel Medicine postbac (in progress)

I've been complete since AUGUST!!! 27Q mcat 3.8 cgpa and 3.6 sgpa. Masters program and tons of EC's.

I've called twice since august.

I emailed an update and sent in an additional LOR. They are still telling me i'm "under review" and have to wait 😕

Some people hear within a few weeks and some don't. sigh.

hey for people who've been accepted, do we send in the money electronically or mail them a check?
 
Hey guys. So this past weekend I received an open container citation which is an infraction here in California. I have a scheduled court appearance next month in which I will be pleading guilty. For this question would, I just answer "No" for now and update NSU about it later? Thanks.

Disclosure:
Have you ever been convicted in any state or country of:
a criminal offense (other than a minor traffic offense) where you have been found guilty by a judge or jury or entered a plea of nolo contendre (no contest);
any offense where the records have been expunged or sealed;
any conviction that you are currently appealing regardless of adjudication.
 
No Prob,
I guess I would be considered an Underdog of this group. I submitted 9/30 but wasn't complete until two weeks ago.
sGPA: 3.2
cGPA:3.9
MCAT: 24Q

Congratulations Cmed12!!
I am an underdog as well and I am filled with hope that there might be a chance for an interview for me! Thanks for sharing your stats and best of luck to you!

Thanks. I'll let you guys know how it goes!!!
 
Hey folks,

SDN is awesome. I was where you are right now, but I was there a year ago. I know that it won't do any good for me to tell you to relax, but relax.

I debated whether or not to identify myself as a student of Nova on my blog where I remain anonymous, and I finally decided to do it. Check it out at followmygutblog.com

I just posted what I consider to be an awesome post about the student culture at Nova. I'm a pretty prolific writer so I will be posting a lot more.

Please feel free to ask me questions. I just don't have the time to check this forum every day, but if you guys have a question that remains unanswered please, someone ask me then post the answer here for everyone to see. Please don't ask me any application process questions. You guys are able to share that type of information with each other. I can help you with specific questions about Nova with an understanding that my opinions are just my opinions, and I do not officially speak for Nova.

I wish you all the best!!

Do I need to do anything else if my letters are on Virtualevals?

You're all set. Once it's up and your undergraduate committee releases it to the schools you requested, schools can then access it anytime they are ready. But I would email them if webstar doesn't reflect that within a few weeks of submitting secondary
 
Is there a thread that states some of the interview questions that were asked so far this cycle? I am trying to go through some mock interviews to be a little more fluent while interviewing.

At the top of the page is the interview feedback link, you can find school specific pages with questions asked in the past. Just click on view survey results
 
For people who have interviewed at NSU and stayed at the Holiday Inn, how far from the Terry Building does the Holiday Inn shuttle drop you off?
 
Directly in front of it if you mention the Terry building.
