Ok, so like many of you, I haven't heard a peep from these guys since I was complete in September..
So today I got a Holiday/New Year's card from NSU!! Now that was totally unexpected...I haven't been on SDN for a while, so maybe there's already a thread on this...But dang, that was funny/nice of them! Especially surprising given (A) I hadn't heard anything, (B) everyone talks about how they are a big school and you're a "number" kind of.

hahah yes I got the same card! At first I was so excited thinking it was an interview invite and then i open it and see the card. As nice as it is...I'd rather the interview invite that would def make my holidays happier.

Never received a card, but I did get an invite from them (not today. ... but a week or 2 ago i think?)

anyways, for whatever its worth, good luck.

 

[premed2007]

Really? I got in and got no card...lol

 

[HemaOncoDoc]

Yeah, same here. I did get a thank you letter for paying the deposit! lol.

Nova sends interview invites via email, so keep checking your inbox!

 

[premed2007]

Yeah, same here. I did get a thank you letter for paying the deposit! lol.

lol. guess I should be expecting something in the mail then.

 

[HemaOncoDoc]

Yeah. It's cool though since you get orientation information and the information to set up your email account, though they don't allow you to pick your own account. At least it gets you into the list serve

oh I see..thanks...hoping for that e-mail. 🙂

That's funny I thought they send the card to everyone but I guess only to pple who haven't heard from them yet...strange....ud think it'd be the other way around. 😕

I know someone who got the card AFTER they were already rejected

 

[tigre21]

yes my friend told me that happened...which of course both freaked me out and i found unusually cruel. but id assumed it was just a large mailing to most applicants.
oh the mystery of the nova holiday card 😱 😱

 

[112258]

I've been complete for a few months, my file has not been reviewed as of last week, I have not heard anything, and I have not received a holiday card...👎

 

[Hardbody]

I haven't heard anything either. I have been complete there since mid-October and in case you are wondering:

Cum: 3.5, Science: 3.7

MCAT 29 (10,9,10)

 

[FutureLegend05]

Ditto. Cum: 3.7 Sci: 3.6

MCAT 32 (10, 11, 11)

 

[tigre21]

although of course 🙄 it's not just the numbers they look at...i hope 🙂

maybe they consider you too good for their school and youre simply using DO as a backup??

if you said u applied to MD schools in your secondary .. they may be thinkin that

I think lots of people apply MD and they still get interviews... mayeb they r just really behind on their interviews and we'll be hearing from themm reallllly soon! 🙂 (crosses fingers)

I know i did apply MD ... but, i dont have those MCAT stats ...

tha's my point, they could consider him applyin to DO only as a backup, which they may not like ...

yeah, i listed md schools also. maybe that's what they were thinking. they don't know what they're giving up though. not to be cocky. i just have a sincere interest in do.

wow, this makes no sense ... i got the invite a few wks ago for feb. and called a few days ago to see if theres any for dec or jan and they said there wasnt. 🙄

 

[FutureLegend05]

wow, this makes no sense ... i got the invite a few wks ago for feb. and called a few days ago to see if theres any for dec or jan and they said there wasnt. 🙄

yeah. they said someone cancelled. otherwise, i would have to wait until february. sorry about that.

 

[Dr.Inviz]

well, dec wouldnt have worked for me anyways, but i seriously would like a jan. session if possible.

See all of this sounds a little weird. I took the August MCAT, applied to NSU, got their secondary on 11/19, completed it the next day, but I did not pay them them cause I did not have my credit card on me at the time. I went back to their site later that week to pay and I could not see where to do it, so I emailed them asking, and they emailed my back with an interview invite on Feb 22. It was real cause I got the packet in the mail about a week later. But that is soo weird that you guys are waiting for so long, and its not like I'm from Florida, I live in Indiana.😕

they must have liked what they saw. congrats. i waited awhile and got my invite a week before my interview.

 

[cst23]

I received a card last week and then received two today in the mail. Not sure what that's all about...i haven't paid my deposit yet so maybe that's why they keep sending the cards.

haha. maybe. i haven't received one yet! what's up with that? maybe i have to interview first.

 

[HemaOncoDoc]

Maybe. I don't know the qualifications behind it. I haven't received it and I have been accepted already. Is this just another example of the randomness of this process?

Probably or maybe the card got "lost" in the mail. lol.

it doesn't matter so much. it's a good gesture, but you're already accepted hemaoncodoc.
