No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN-answered every possible question that students reported about this school, read over personal statement and the literature about Nova, asked a lot of questions of the tour guide during an Open House visit

What impressed you positively?

The D1's who gave the tour were very open and honest about their experiences at Nova...and they seemed to LOVE their school and the education that they were receiving.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour was kinda rushed...one of the D1's kept pressing us about how he had to get back to class, so we couldn't stop and look around very long at each stop.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You have to fight for chairs during rotations, and you have to recruit your own patients.

What are your general comments?

It was so laid back, do not be nervous! You should still prepare so that you don't look like an idiot, but I ended up laughing and joking during my entire interview. It was more like hanging out with new friends than being before an intimidating panel.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
