I am sorry but you win some and loose some. I am sure you will get in somwhere. When did you interview there?

 

[dentaldreams2021]

Is Nova one of your top choices?

Btw congrats on your SIU acceptance!

Thank you! And no it's not. Primarily bc of the cost and how far away it is from where I live. I live a little over an hour from siu and I live almost 22 hours from nova.

OOS and giving up my seat-- hope one of you get it!!

For accepted applicants - will they be sending the admissions package via mail? Dec 1 is a blur.

 

[bilbany12]

I received my letter yesterday, so everyone's should arrive soon as well

Does anyone happen to know how long the wait list is? Or how many applicants typically get off of it and get an actual acceptance?

 

[Alpha Centauri]

I interviewed on December 2nd. However I can assure you not to worry if you were waitlisted and are awaiting a response. It was announced (on my interview day) that acceptances for Post december / Waitlist interviews would come in on Janurary 1-4, whenever Dr. Lippman returns from his well needed vacation

thank you for letting me know, that takes a little bit of the worry off my mind!

 

[sixkid]

Has anyone received their acceptance package in the mail? I have a couple semi-urgent questions about prerequisites and mine hasn't arrived yet!

 

[eldmd_32]

Hey guys! I turned down a January interview since I've received a couple of acceptances. I hope that another hopeful applicant gets chosen soon for it!

 

[bilbany12]

I got the acceptance letter in the mail, but it basically just tells you to login to Webstar to see your prereqs, so try that for now @sixkid

Thanks!! Just did I cant seem to find this anywhere, but is there someone I should contact regarding any issues?

 

[drhandsome]

[nebuchadnezzar90]

Anyone know where I can find how much tuition and rent is for the 4 years?

Rent depends on where you live but I added up a total of about $447,000 including everything except interest. Living in a townhouse for $1,650 a month

Little ole me is a little late to the game, but any further advice on interviewing? Why Nova?

I have an interview in a couple days. I read the previous posts about the relaxed interviews and how they see if you'd fit into the environment. I want to do well on my interview because I'm pretty serious on attending here. It's a place I see myself in the future, and mom and pop are most likely moving there in a couple years (reminds them of our motherland lol).

I'm assuming the townhouse is on the higher end of rent?

 

[MaryL]

Hey! I'm from Toronto as well and I hadn't received the letter. I called Su Ann Zarrett (You can easily look up her info). She said Toronto might take a while and she scanned my letter and sent it by email

Is equipment and books being 43k an overstatement, or are we really going to be spending 12-18k per year on instruments? This is the most ive ever seen for any school I have applied to so far. For what it's worth, I can count the number of books I have rented from Nova (I go to undergrad) and actually needed for class on one hand

whats the chance of moving off the waitlist?

 

[dentalpulp]

Should I even both taking my january 11th interview? Do they do rolling admissions? I might save the money.

If you want to attend the school then I would go to the interview.

u can select later date in jan for an interview and meanwhile wait for acceptance from other schools in mid january.

 

[predentalstudent9]

For the ones who are accepted, did you receive an email about doing a background check through adea facilitated website? Do you know if it is required for Nova? Because Nova isn't listed under the schools that participate in it so just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

Have you called the school about this? As far as I know this was not one of the listed requirements to-dos besides sending in the official transcripts and paying the deposits

 

[theAngler]

Nova does their background check via Castlebranch.com
At least that was how it was for us 2020

Hey guys I'm new here. Been reading through the thread and wanted to join and say I'm one of those people who got an interview for January 4th. I thought I read somewhere that there's only 9 spots left in the class? Correct a brother if I'm wrong on that. Any pointers or things to note before the interview? Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Well nobody knows yet because it's not like everyone who gets accepted will go to nova.

Gotcha I visited the page, looks like you have to be accepted to see that though, sent the join anyway.

Very true, just trying to verify what I read from someone's post.

 

[JeepinDDS]

Just rejected my acceptance! Good luck everyone!
