How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over my application, read the SDN page of feedback(very important) and did a few practice interviews.

What impressed you positively?

The academic structure of the program is well laid out. Nova gives you the freedom to do your fourth year rotations anywhere you want. The faculty and students are very friendly and the day was well structured. Plus, the food at lunch was amazing. As of December 10th, it was 80 degrees outside and the sun was shining.

What impressed you negatively?

That Nova is pretty much just a graduate school, not much of a collegiate atmosphere, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That traffic in Ft. Lauderdale is horrendous.

What are your general comments?

On the whole a great experience. A very academic atmosphere, a friendly and open interview. They had solid answers to all my questions about the program and its future. The students are great, the faculty are acessable, the weather is beautiful, and the facilities are top notch. Overall a very positive experience.
