All the info about orientation and everything else you need to do is on this website! It has info on important deadlines, when you need to order your white coat, send final transcripts etc.It even has the color of the srubs (which are super cute btw). Congrats you guys!!!!!! Orientation week starts on July 30th and I believe it ends with the white coat ceremony on August 4th!

September for me, but the calls were random not based on when you interviewed at all

When you get your schedules, it definitely is 9-5 (some days even 8-5), BUT that's only on paper. As you go through the first two weeks, you'll get an idea of which classes you can skip (most of your basic science classes which are recorded) and which are mandatory attendance (sim lab for example), so in REALITY you don't have to be in class 9-5. Also, as a D1 you have mandatory clinical rotations where you get to shadow/assist D3/D4 students in clinic from 1-5pm, but even that is only roughly once a month, so if you're not scheduled for rotation that day, it's basically "free time".

Having said all this though, if you're the type of student who reap the most when actually going to classes and see the benefit of interacting with the professors, by all means do go to class 🙂. I sometimes feel bad when I hear professors say more than half the class (including myself) don't show up, but hey, if attendance isn't mandatory and you study much more efficiently listening to lectures recorded online, then I don't see the point in attending lecture (again, my personal opinion).

:joyful:awesome thanks for that! So all classes are pre-recorded powerpoint presentations, except for labs of course? Do you know how the first semester is? for example 8 lecture classes/day with 2labs and clinic? or is it block schedule? ex: 4 classes MWF and other 4 TTh? Sorry for all the questions, I am super excited to start and I would like to get mentally organized to start studying!! 😀

MOST of the basic sciences courses are recorded. Also, it really depends on the professor whether lectures will be recorded or not. I'd say most likely yes, but like I said in my previous post, go to class the first couple of weeks and find out the professors' teaching method, and then decide whether attending class will be beneficial or not.

It's block schedule (definitely not 8 class a day lol).

I also tried, but I think once you start school the administrator of that nova facebook group for the class of 2023 will give us special access. It looks like a private page, so not everyone can join unless invited....maybe? :shrug:

Why is there an iPad requirement? is that where we access our books?
Click to expand...

You need an electronic device where you will take your midterm/final exams, so that's why they ask for the iPad requirements. Can be a laptop though. As long as it's a laptop/iPad/tablet that's not like 10 years old, you should be good.

Yeah I understand what you mean, that's probably what it is. I just wish we had one to help find roommates easier :thinking:
 
What were those "stupid and unreasonable academic reasons" that the D1 were kicked out for?
 
If Nova become this bad, why all the students not doing something about it? like stand up all together report it to the board at once and fight for eveyone right after all we are paying 450K plus for it. I was interviewed last november and got excepted on Dec 3. But fortunately i got 5 others acceptances and one of them is my dream school so i declined offers from Nova. It may or may not be a good thing.

Does anyone know how to register for classes? Looks like the aid already kicked in for the tuition.

Hi! I believe its open file for everyone, but don't worry about it they make you feel comfortable and want to know more about your personality than your academics. If you get an interview, your grades are enough. They want to see how would you interact with patients. Just make sure to add why would you be a good candidate and why do you think you are good fit specifically for Nova.
 
Hey everyone! How much does NSU cost per year? I can't seem to find it on the website
 
The amount of false info on here is astonishing, tuition is 64k PER YEAR people, and then after paying your acceptance and pre registration fee that drops to 62k for the YEAR roughly 20-22k per semester (fall, winter and summer).
