What batch!?

Not sure. They received my app in late July.

 

[BYU4you]

Why are people not listing the school they're interviewing at? It essentially makes your post useless...

So last night I got invited by email for interview, then two hours later they changed their mind and told me to disregard previous email.
What a tease

Did they tell you the reason for rejection?

 

[DrHJ]

Absolutely! We almost have identical stats and I have 2 interviews so far. Be patient and interviews will come your way 🙂

Thanks for giving me hope. But what I see here is telling me something else. Everyone who has received an invitation has good DAT scores. I feel that mine is very bad. I don't have any scores less than 17 though.

 

[DrHJ]

U have a great gpa buddy and ur a dat isn't that bad. I'm sure ur moment will come!

Thanks. I keep my finger crossed.

They did the same with me, but I sent them my unofficial score report. Maybe their decision is more based off your LORs, and personal statement

I'm so jealous of the Western U folks!!! I also got the email stating that my application is still with the admissions committee. I think it's nice that they're letting us know the status of our application instead of keeping us in the lonely, silent darkness like other schools lol.

I don't think their invitation is a mistake, it's very rare when that happens (like it just occurred with A.T. Still, according to these posts.) Maybe your score is not on the AADSAS system, because it hasn't updated yet? And don't worry about your GPA! I have a higher GPA than you, and just got my rejection from NOVA. GPA isn't everything!! 🙂

If you chose Nova as a school you're applying to when you applied to take the DAT, the score would have been sent directly to them. That could be why!
