Members don't see this ad.

Oh yeah, I forgot that those that got rejected from NOVA may not have a liberal arts letter of rec. That is one of the requirements to apply to the school.

 

[Confused1617]

So do schools typically send rejection letters after interviewing before dec 1 or is it only nova?

 

[msrandomheart143]

Maybe they mean lower than 21 in the TS?

I'm not sure, they weren't specific so I assumed academic average

 

[msrandomheart143]

I don't know why everyone is so hung up on Nova. If it makes any of you who got rejected feel any better, I have not heard very good things about Novas clinic situation.

I don't think anyone is particularly hung up on Nova. I think people are just discussing because it's the first rejection for most. I'm just speaking for myself anyways.

You mean the first rejection posted on SDN lol. Otherwise I don't think it would've gotten any attention.

 

[kimball]

Does Nova tend to have more lenient requirements toward in-state applicants?

definitely seems like it

I got an interview with Nova. 21 AA and 3.85 Gpa. But i don't have a liberal art letter of rec. 2 of my recs are from proffessors in engineering school, 1 from dentist, and the other one from the place i volunteer.

Congrats!!!!

congrats!! I interviewed last year with them as well in February and got waitlisted. Just curious as to what you did this past year to strengthen your app? I am still hoping to interview again with them but still no word.

Would you mind sharing your interview experience? How was it and what did they ask??

 

[Blapo]

Congrats!!!!

I feel like some people misinterpret the purpose of sdn threads. Although we are all in this together, the purpose of the threads on sdn is not to comprise our integrity to give us an advantage over non-sdn applicants. That is why you will not see answers to these type of questions on sdn. However, we all can share our overall experience and use the thread as a support group. Am I speaking incorrectly?

There's nothing wrong with talking about how your interview went or what questions were asked. In fact there is an entire section of SDN dedicated to interview feedback including specific interview questions. Students should feel free to take a look because it's not as if they offer some insurmountable advantage. If someone tries to memorize and reiterate answers to these questions, it comes across as very obvious to an interviewer and not in a good way. The interview is all about getting to know you as an applicant and how you present yourself in person. Knowing a few of the questions they may happen to ask ahead of time doesn't change much about their impression of you. There is no 'integrity' being compromised here, sit down and relax.

You haven't been to the interview feedback section of SDN, I take it?

I don't see how seeking out info that non-SDNers do not compromises our integrity. It's doing our due diligence and researching info that is already available; not my fault (or my moral dilemma) if others choose not to do the same.

Did you never read the DAT Discussion section either?

Just sayin...

[Mycoalwin]

Not to sound sassy at all, but the "Interview Feedback" link is at the top of your screen.

I think sass while answering that question is well justified 🙂

LOL. So I have never actually noticed that button.

 

[apicalforamen]

To end the whole NOVA dilemna, im pretty sure they're looking for high GPAs. 22AA 24TS 3.38 ogpa got denied a few days ago.

Eh....I have a 3.92 sgpa and overall gpa.....19AA 19TS....rejected

 

[Legacy382]

[trimethylxanthine]

Would it be too late to add these schools:

Indiana
Nova
UDM
Michigan

CA resident, 3.2 Sgpa/Ogpa 23AA/24TS

How about adding UNE? They didn't take anyone from CA last year

[Barenom]

Any Canadian applicants got interview invitation from Boston, NYU, Pitt or UPenn, or Case Western Reserve??

Same here...have not heard from any school, other than file under review/application complete

Hi,

I have gotten interview requests from UPenn and NYU. But I am not going to either of the interviews. I got an email from Case Western saying that they would consider me for an interview in Winter or Spring. I have not heard back from Boston.

When was ur mail out date?

 

[Mycoalwin]

Would it be a bad thing to move my NYU interview from mid-October to early-mid November? Is the general consensus on interviewing to interview ASAP?

 

[trimethylxanthine]

it's still early, is all I read when one asks about interviews. When does one need to worry about not having an interview of just have one interview? I'd like to have at least three-five.

 

[DetermineDent]

I would begin to worry if you didnt have any at the end of October.
