Hey guys!

I applied to the NSU biomedical program for Fall 2021 and was wondering if anyone has heard anything back from the admissions yet.

Members don't see this ad.
 
Unfortunately I haven't yet! I emailed Nikki on 2/16 and she said this: "The committee has not sent out any notifications. Notifications should be sent out with the next couple of weeks."

This weekend I got an envelope in the mail and almost freaked out but it was advertising another one of their masters programs... :eyebrow:

Its hard to tell because the deadline is August first so decisions will come intermittently I expect some to come late marchish. If it helps my friend was accepted last year he applied late May and got an acceptance early July.

I tried calling just now. I’ll try again in a bit. In my experience, it’s easier to get ahold of Nikki via phone call than email lol. I’ll let y’all know if I get an update as well
 
I was able to get ahold of her. She said that there are no updates as far as she can tell. She acknowledged that they are taking a little longer than normal and she recently checked in with them. No definitive timeline yet, however. She’s hopeful we will know something soon.

Did you submit the application with an essay? When I called to ask about details I was told about writing an essay, but my online application didn't have the option so I'm freaking out a little!

After you submit your application there is a section called supplemental items and documents. That's where you submit your 2 personal essays, transcripts, and LOR

Thank you, that's what I thought but for some reason I only have the option for transcripts. I emailed them so hopefully I get an answer soon.

I got an email... not a call. Which I assume means “maybe” since it didn’t say I was accepted, just being considered.
 
OMG i got an email just now saying i was under review with other applicants . I pray i get in!

For the people who got in, Does the letter of acceptance tell you how long you have to decide before you put a deposit down?? Like two weeks or something?

I would quantify the hours if you can. Sounds better and let’s them know what 2 years looks like. 2 years could be 5 hours a month for 24 months. But 1,000+ hours in unmistakable in how much you actually did/learned from it
