Master's programs aren't enlisted with AAMC that's why lol. You either print the report and mail it physically which the address is listed on their website (that's actually how I did it) or save it and send it by email amsqc @nova.edu

Hello Applicants!!!
I am from Miami FL, I was wondering, out of curiosity from which states are you guys applying from?
Thanks

 

[KeepFighting95]

Has anyone called to see how the process is moving along? 🙂 I’ve seen on the previous years’ threads that they began calling for interviews in late March.

I called last week and they said my application is under review. Yeah i don't think we will hear back until the end of March

 

[j31]

Did anyone had interview for nova mbs ?

 

[nicnic221]

Did anyone had interview for nova mbs ?

Haven't heard back yet

 

[happylilbuzz]

I'm waiting also. According to last year, people hear back almost at the end of March and early April.

 

[drsita]

Yeah, my bet is that interviews won’t be sent out until the first week of April. I believe last year e-mails were sent April 6th or so...

 

[j31]

Can previous student share classes timetable for this program please?

 

[Team D.O.]

Heyyyy guys current MBS student for MED route. We have been swamped with exams lately and hopefully we can get some more MBS students on this thread to give feeback. Ill spread the word to the group and even try to get a dental MBS student on here too.

I heard that interview invites should be on the same schedule as last year. With that said, you should start hearing something by the end of March to the start of April. Last year invites didnt go out all at once. So if you dont hear anything when people start posting. Then dont freak out. They go out in batches through the month of April.

Feel free to message me with questions and ill try to respond as quickly as possible. But like I said we have exams weekly. So its just been a bunch of non-stop cramming. So I apologize in advance if it takes me awhile to respond or see any new posts.

Classes started at the end of July and went till about mid December. We started Winter semester January 2nd and we end May 4th.

The Fall semester exam schedule was more clumped together; on the other hand, this semester has the exams spaced out weekly basically 2 weeks after the start until we finish.

Hope that answers your question

Hey have you heard anything back yet??
I applied too and am eagerly awaiting some response!

 

[nicnic221]

No, not yet! I hope we hear back this week or the next!

Do u guys know in application 7/7 means application is completed?

 

[FutureMD0312]

Do u guys know in application 7/7 means application is completed?

Does anyone else’s say 5/5 ? I’m confused as to why some people have 7/7 ? I applied for the MED route this cycle as well

I believe it depends on how many transcripts you have to send in. 2 letters of recommendation, application fee, MCAT score, or DAT if you are dental, and at least 1 transcript would mean 5 items to be complete. Any more transcripts will just add to the total number.

Hey, I was wondering if you could specify the exact requirements needed to be accepted into the NSU DO school after? Also, are there any stats on how many students from MMS actually make it into the DO school?

How do I know my application is completed ?

I believe they are the same as the MBS program in terms of pre-reqs needed to be taken before hand. The only difference would be the MCAT score in my opinion. The MBS program is intended for those who are still competitive applicants but may have scored lower in a section on the MCAT or may have a slightly lower GPA than what the NSU-COM requires you to have. It doesnt say online, but it has been stated numerous times while being in the program that it is 100% guarantee acceptance to the school of medicine as long as you get an 80% or higher in all classes as a final grade.

This has been true as well in previous years. The students who got the grades were able to matriculate in and the students who were unfortunatley under the 80% had to repeat another year of MBS. During the 2nd year you would retake the class you got a C in as well as a few new classes; as well as research I believe.

You DO NOT have to retake MCAT nor retake anymore classes outside of the MBS program once completed. We are actually dressed in the same color scrubs as the DO students and we take all the main science courses with them and take the same tests. We dont take their electives. So this program is to see if we can handle medical classes by getting 80% or higher.

Did anybody get an email about their pharmacy program but didn't apply to their program, and didn't mention anything about being interested in pharmacy school in the application for the MBS? I got an email from them about their pharmacy program but I didn't request any info.

Yes I got one too.

 

[Paigester27]

Yes I got one too.

Me too!

 

[Minji14]

ok I just wanted to make sure. Anybody get an interview yet?

 

[Dr.Prada]

ok I just wanted to make sure. Anybody get an interview yet?

nope! From what I lurked from past years threads, it could start tomorrow or next week..... Anxiety is definitely kicking in lol

 

[brendenhuynh]

Does anyone know when the classes start? Is it in the fall or summer?

 

[drsita]

Does anyone know when the classes start? Is it in the fall or summer?

Classes for the medical school begin July 30th this year. For MBS, if they do as they did last year (where we start off the Tuesday of the first week), then classes would start Tuesday, July 31st for MBS.

Don’t quote me on this, but for sure expect to start at some point the week of July 30th if you get accepted!

 

[EDNightOwl]

I’ve been lurking the past threads, hopefully we hear something back in the next few days. The anxiety is killing me! Good luck all 🙂

 

[pdent2022]

Do they have rolling admissions?

 

[Drmalex]

Hi just wanted to share this because I know everyone is wating impatiantly but I spoke to someone at the university and they said that they have groups selected already but emails will go out the week of the 18, I’m not sure how accurate this info is, but that’s what they told me...

 

[Minji14]

Thank you for the update

 

[nicnic221]

Time to anxiously wait another two weeks

 

[j31]

Time to anxiously wait another two weeks

I agree it's very hard to stay clam now

 

[KeepFighting95]

I’m freaking out. I check my email everyday.

 

[Drmalex]

I’m freaking out. I check my email everyday.

Lol this week it not going to happen, maybe next week tho

Question is everyone here pre dental ? Because I noticed that this is under pre-dental forum🙄

 

[med__gal]

I’m freaking out. I check my email everyday.

Don't freak out, be patient. I spoke to one of the professors responsible for the mbs program this week and they said they still had a significant amount of files to go through. No official date has been shared yet on when interviews start but I would think e-mails should be sent out at the end of next week (the week of April 8th), if not then some time the week after (the week of April 15th), or unfortunately even later if they can't go through them as quickly... That is just an assumption based on the amount of files they still had to go through. Anything earlier than that I would be a little surprised. The best of luck to you all, both dental and medical! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out, but please keep in mind we may not respond right away since we're in the middle of studying for exams.
