AMAZING school!!! Students were very happy and friendly and the faculty was great. It was such a positive atmosphere and I want to be a part of that. I'm very grateful for the opportunity for an interview. I am glad I attended, because it really made me want to attend the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Keep doing what you're doing! Every school should have their interview like Nova! Having a relaxed, conversational interview with super friendly faculty let me be myself and show who I really am, and I think that is important so that the admissions can see if I am a right fit for the school.
