Does NOVA send you an email inviting you to submit your supplemental application or are you just supposed to send it in ahead of time? My application has been mailed out for over a month and I haven't received a single email/phone call from them. FL resident.

I just did it without them emailing me to do so; there is a link on their website.

Does anyone know how long the interview takes? What would be a safe time to schedule a return flight on the same day of the interview?

Answered from their web page: about 5:00 PM ending time.

Can anyone confirm?

Can't confirm but on a traffic heavy day it'll take around 30 minutes to get to FLL from Nova.

Let's say your interview does in fact end at 5pm... I'd play it safe and schedule a flight past 8-8:30pm (assuming your hotel is nearby so you can pick up anything you brought, and you uber everywhere)
 
When you submitted your application, did Nova ever send a "we've received your application" email or something along those lines?

How long after submission did it take for you to receive that phone call? I submitted 6/24 and haven't heard anything from them.

I submitted on July 13 and received the call the following day. Then on July 18th I received the interview email.
 
Is anyone having trouble scheduling an interview with NOVA? I clicked on the link but can't find an open date to select the date I want. Thanks in advance!
 
what are my chances of getting an interview with NOVA (mother went there and sister currently going there for psychology masters)? haven't taken DAT yet ... but if I manage to get 20s across the board on it what are my chances? I know my stats are low but im wondering if i should take a gap year and make sure i get great DAT scores, do mission trips, shadow, etc or if i should bother applying this cycle ... (just graduated this week)

sGPA: 3.28
uGPA: 3.39 ( might take a couple courses to get this over 3.40 ?)

It depends partly on your dat score. No way to predict before then.

No one can predict your DAT score. And even with that, the chance is hard to know as well cuz there are so many ppl who have the similar stat as you haven't got an interview so far. So if you really wanna get an interview, aim for at least 23 AA in order to make up for your low GPA.

When is your DAT scheduled? The longer you wait, the more interview requests that go out before schools even have a chance to look at your application.
 
I received the "application is complete" phone call today. Just so everyone knows, you must submit the secondary application before they will even forward your application to the adcom. Don't wait for an email from them to submit the secondary application!
 
Got my application complete phone call today. How long did after did most of you hear about interviews? Hoping to interview before December 1st!!!

I heard someone on here that nova average dat is 21 and average gpa is 3.7, but I think your ECs are way more like way more solid than mine and I got an interview, so I think you have a chance! I would say apply 🙂

You can apply, but your dat is not very competitive. If I were you I would retake.

Thanks for the feedback, I do not have my ADEA handbook with me but online it said the average GPA was a 3.25 and 18 DAT. Do you mind sharing your stats?
 
Has anyone still be under review since late June? I honestly think they may have not received something from my end but I got the call that everything was complete on june 27th so not sure. It just doesn't make sense seeing some get invites literally 2 days after completing app. I might just call and see what my status is.

I don;t think that is recent information. Nova's AA average is 21 and a gpa of 3.68 from 2016.

Hey, I was checking my NSU webstar account about my application status and it only lists three out my four letters that I sent through AADSAS. Did anyone else experience this as well? Should I be worried? I only have one of my science PROF LORs listed and two EC but not the 4th letter.
Click to expand...

I would call AADSAS and ask. All my letters were listed on there at once, but I got a committee letter.
 
Interview #1!

Application submitted 7/6. Application completed 8/8. Supplemental application submitted 8/8 (no email). Phone call for completed application received 8/10, invited for interview 8/11. Interview 9/15.
