JD2012 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 New thread for the upcoming cycle opening April 25th 2019. Any questions or concerns ask them here! Just a heads up it is almost finals beginning 4/29 and ending 5/10 so there may be some delay in answering questions. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia5827 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I’m reapplying this year so fingers crossed! I toured the campus today and I liked it. Met with Judy and she was kind of discouraged about my gpa but everything else is good so I’m still gonna apply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to PM you if you don't feel comfortable discussing it here. Awesome opportunity for you for early feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia5827 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I don’t mind my overall is 3.2 and science is 3.15. I just emailed her and asked if there were open houses. She said no but offered to set up a time to meet and then her assistant took me on a tour. I definitely suggest it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been two years for me but if memory serves me right the link will be sent at a later date around June 1st or June 2nd and it will go out to everyone who has already submitted at about the same time. Word of advice, save all of your responses in a word document in case you have to reapply the following year. It will cut down tremendously on time.

rach6195 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 @JD2012 any truth to the requirements of a 3.4 science GPA and 40th percentile GRE and above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was accepted with a 3.2 GPA for both cumulative and science. When I applied their website only stated GRE percentiles, but if their website is now saying 3.4 Science than there's probably some truth to that requirement. The GRE yes! I would seriously try to shoot for at least 150 in each category. I personally had a 151 math and 158 verbal with a 4.0 writing. I had a good friend apply with a 3.8 GPA and 297 GRE and denied an interview. They wanted him to retake the GRE and would have given him an interview, but he refused.

No just last year a friend said she called them last cycle and they told her that they didn’t offer interviews to people below a science 3.4 as for my GRE my math is 150 but was in the 38th percentile. So I’m concerned lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I’m concerned lol What was your score for verbal? If that is higher you might be okay. You can always email Judy Dickman, she will be straightforward with you. I had to really beef up the rest of my app as well my 2nd time applying. If it's a program you really want to attend, I would apply. Judy Dickman told me the first time my GPA was too low, at that time it was 3.1, so I took a few post-bacc science classes, got it a tad over 3.2 plus doing extra things to add to my app and was granted an interview.

Yeah my verbal was 156. But my science GPA is 3.12. I was a psych major doing only the prereqs and ended up failing Orgo which really dropped my science GPA. I submitted my app already but I guess if my science gpa is too low oh well lol. Thanks for your input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your input! Same thing with me I failed orgo 1 the first time I took it. I think when I applied the 1st time I had a 3.16 science GPA. I took a couple of orgo labs in between cycles, got A's and my GPA went to a 3.21. Good luck and hang in there.

ETfuturePA94 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Truthfully, if my GRE score was 292, do you think I should still apply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine95 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Curious if anyone has received the supplemental yet? I submitted my app 5/18. I thought the supplementals would be coming out the first of June... but I still have not received anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way to know is to ask Judy Dickman. She is pretty much the gatekeeper to interview invites and she will be blunt if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I say to copy your responses to a word doc and save them in case you are applying to other Nova programs or if you have to reapply the following year.

The Orlando supplemental and Tampa supplemental questions for NSU are similar but slightly different! I found that the Orlando NSU supplemental was way easier and did not require as much info in regards to documenting dates and hours for extra curricular and community service compared to ft Lauderdale. But I agree!!!! Type your answers on a word doc this way you have it saved! It even says on the website for the supplemental to type your answers separate since the website will automatically close after an hour and if you don’t save your responses, you’ll lose them!

Also, I would really like to know why are they asking about how many schools am I applying for? I feel like it is some kind of game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the exact reason but at most might be to get an idea of what programs you're interested in, or if you are just applying to any random program. Will that question hurt your chances of an interview invite? Not at all. Just a heads up some programs will ask you this question during the interview without any warning. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
