What are your general comments?
The admissions office needs to be more organized and professional. The whole day, they kept telling applicants conflicting information, which stressed the applicants out. For the tour of NSU, they had a other applicant (who attended NSU) help, which made the admission staff look bad (due to potential favoritism)
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What is one thing medicine is doing wrong, right now?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Looked at questions online... it was a very conversational interview and was very low-stress
What impressed you positively?
The facilities at this medical school were very nice. I liked learning about the clinical opportunities here.
What impressed you negatively?
The price point at this school does not warrant primarily virtual anatomy.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
NOVA-COM should be more up front with wait lists. It wasn't until the end of the day that they stated that the Davie campus was full, and I felt as though I had wasted time and money traveling to the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
I loved this experience, and I loved the student ambassadors, but the admissions office here was enough to deter me from ever accepting an offer. They were disorganized, and I felt as though they wasted our time. Ask them (first thing in the morning), about any wait-lists, because they WILL NOT tell you.
