"Where do you see yourself in 10 years? " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Why DO? Why Nova?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What would you do if you didn't get into school this year? " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"We see here you have applied to X number of MD schools and X number of DO schools... where are you at in the interview processes for all of these? Any acceptances? Also asked some personal questions about my file and what I've been doing in my year off since graduation to prepare for school." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"None, all were expected. The most difficult thing was that they tried to play "good cop/bad cop." One person was all smiley and the other seemed very critical. But it was also obviously an act, and if you can break them and stay confident, you'll have 2 good cops at the end!" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"A couple mock interviews with some doctors I work with, SDN forum for NSU, re-read my AACOMAS application & personal statement, SDN INTERVIEW FORUMS, thought about the major points I wanted to work into the interview and how to always get them in." Report Response
"Everything. I absolutely loved the school! Everything is brand new, gorgeous new gym and pools, perfect weather, close to Miami, West Palm, and the beach, students very positive, free MPH combined program that you can work into your schedule over the years you're there, lots of places for rotations, Nova's outstanding reputation in South Florida for turning out great doctors, Medical mission trips to Peru, Ecuador, and other places in South/Central America, there were a lot of really cool people interviewing with me (attracts a good group of people to the school), surrounded by other health professionals from the other schools (dental, pharmacy, nursing, optometry) so there's tons of people around you to meet. This school is great :)" Report Response
"The $950 deposit I have to put down really, really soon. Just in general the lack of responsiveness of the admissions department when trying to contact them." Report Response
"Housing would be so expensive down there!" Report Response
"I recommend staying at the Comfort Inn Suites in Davie because it is a 5 minute drive from the school. The hotel offers free shuttle to/from the airport and Nova. The hotel staff is very friendly. Usually you can find that a handful of interviewees are staying at this hotel, so it's comforting traveling over together. Also don't freak out- the 8:30am shuttle WILL get you there before 8:45am! You'll also probably wait around for a little bit anyway when you get there. I just wish this hotel had a pool! This is such a great school, as I'm sure you can see from all the positives I listed. Good luck to all of you and hopefully see you next year!" Report Response
