*** The Official Nova Class of 2024 Interview/Acceptance Thread ***

I haven't gotten an email, mail or call yet and my AADSAS is still invited for interview. At this point is it still possible to receive an acceptance call or would it most likely be a waitlist? 🙁 I just assume they must have called the acceptances earlier in the day

Edit: Waitlisted

Did anyone interview with someone other than Dr.Lippman and received an acceptance? I feel like all the waitlisted students interviewed with someone else.

That is not true. Plenty of people of other interviewers got accepted.
 
I could be wrong, but it seems like every person who has interviewed thus far was either accepted or waitlisted. Doesn't seem like there has been even one rejection from someone who has interviewed, so the waitlist must be crazy long
 
how many times did you guys refresh your email/this thread today? think i refreshed somewhere between 3 and 4 thousand times

Don't think that's the case at all, interviews are expensive to host for the university and it would be a waste of their time to waitlist every person they interviewed. A little less than half of all interviewees will get declined.
 
My status is still showing invited for interview... Not sure if this means rejection...Did anyone get a rejection notification yet?

I've also heard from friends who currently attend, have been accepted/waitlisted that they waitlist everyone who don't get accepted. No one gets rejected. Their waitlist is huge but they don't do post-Dec interviews.

Also, they give you a cold sandwich for lunch. They don't have to spend any money. Just need to dedicate some time.

Based on last year's thread seems like students who interviewed in December get priority review before waitlisted pre-dec students? Then pooled together after Jan 3rd?

I think you are generalizing a bit. It's an interview... ...not everyone's goes perfectly.

All I'm saying is thus far it seems 100% of people who have interviewed were either accepted or waitlisted, prove me wrong if that's not the case. There hasn't been one person who interviewed that got a rejection thus far, not one. Also what? As someone else said the interview costs next to nothing aside from a sandwich. So I'm sticking with my original point that the waitlist seems to be crazy long because everybody who interviewed that didn't get accepted has now been waitlisted

I am pretty sure they Waitlist everyone as well
 
The interview days cost them more than a sandwich lmao. They are paying those people that ask us questions and show us around the school lololol. Why don't they interview everyone or more people? Time is money. Yes, not everyone is qualified, but it costs money(more than the sum total of application fees); that's the bottom line.

100% of the people waitlisted on this thread, not 100% of the people interviewed overall.

Exactly. Don't think many people that got outright declined are very incentivized to post on this thread either, whereas many people who got waitlisted are very much incentivized to post/read.

You disregarded the fact that somebody posted that they have heard from current students that everyone interviewed is either accepted or waitlisted in December. Again, find me one person who was interviewed that was rejected yesterday. It would be beyond extraordinarily unlikely that not even one person would post that they got rejected on the thread when we have literally 100+ people who posted about getting accepted or waitlisted. Find me just one...
 
Well, my status is invited for interview, not waitlist, and the other two people from here who interviewed with me on the same day Nov 22nd, are showing the same status


I don't even know if this means rejection, or our group just has not been considered yet

Dude chill lol believe whatever you want our opinions on this are equally irrelevant.
 
I interviewed today (should hear back on Jan 3rd). They said that they called about 150 ppl yesterday for acceptance offer, about 315 ppl in the waitlist atm. They're expecting about 50% or less from those 150 to accept the offer so everyone in the waitlist still has a chance. Hope that helps for those who are waiting

omg 150 people accepted? that is a lot

Yes but keep in mind those ppl probably got accepted to other programs too. That's why Dr. L said that they only anticipated max 50% of those 150 to actually take the offer

How many more interviews they are going to hold? I wonder do we come before waitlisted people because we are still under review?
