How did you prepare for the interview?

Spoke with as many students at the campus as possible. Spoke with friends going through the same process

What impressed you positively?

Every student I spoke with seemed to enjoy going to school there. They almost all were smiling and dressed very professional. Most of the students were accepted to other MD/DO programs but they chose Nova.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing I wouldn't find at any other school. I had a great experience. I was able to sit in on a full day of classes (get permission before the start of each lecture/lab) and was able to see what classes were like. I enjoyed each one and look foward to attending if accepted.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There were no real surprises. A packet is sent out prior to interview date. If you were unaware of something then you didn't do your homework ahead of time.

What are your general comments?

Excellent. They said from the beginning that it wasn't going to be a high pressure interview where they try to trip you up. The interview was a full day though (8-4) b/c it is mostly a tour and explanation of the program and facilities. The actual interview was only 20 min or so, but how much more do you really need? I was able to discuss everything I wished to address and leave with a positive attitude. I think Nova is a good school with an incredible campus with very up to date technology....and the women are gorgeous!
