GAgirl22 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I just received an e-mail for my supplemental application. I am just curious if there are suppose to be essays on this application? I saw that someone was asking about essays on one of the nova forums. If there are essays I do not see them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the left was the question and on the right was a text box to write your response. Is that what you saw? Maybe different campuses have different supplementals?

NewChristine Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I just had my interview this past Friday and I am already driving myself crazy with the phone checking. They said I would hear back in 2-3 weeks, but I don't know how I am going to stay out of the looney bin between now and then. :;;D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAgirl22 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Yes that is what I saw! Thank you! Also, do you know about how long after you were asked to attend an interview after you submitted everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewChristine Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I submitted to CASPA on 8/31 and my supplemental the next day, CASPA verified on 9/13, CASPA mailed on 9/16. Nova emailed saying they received it on 9/19. On 9/22 Nova emailed saying all of my documents were being sent to admissions for review. 9/27 was when I received an email invite to interview. The next available time to interview was 10/21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmmuelle Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I just received the long awaited interview invite yesterday and took the earliest appointment available today. Who else is interviewing on December 5, 2011? I am super excited, yet a little nervous. I was wait-listed last year and hope to be their first choice this year.

Whitney711 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I hope someone can help me with this: I applied to all four NOVA PA programs, and received interview invites from two of the programs (Davie and Fort Myers) a few weeks ago. Is it safe to say that since I did not receive interview invites from the other two programs (Orlando and Jacksonville), that they are not interested? Does NOVA tell you if they are not interested? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnmclane Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Congratulations on getting interview invites. I interviewed on 9/16 and was offered a seat on 9/27. If you have any questions about the interview process feel free to send a private message. I was accepted to several schools, but I had the best overall experience at NOVA Jacksonville and I'm excited to be attending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kblackshear Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Nova does send a rejection letter via regular mail if they will not be considering you, so it's probably safe to say that you are still under consideration at the other two campuses.

Whitney711 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Thanks, kblackshear. I'll keep my fingers crossed that they are still considering me, and that I don't have a rejection letter coming in the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmattson Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Can I get in with a 3.2 overall, 2.8 science and 1420 GRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natacha Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 mmattson: With such a high GRE score, if you have a good amount of healthcare hours, a good narrative, and good rec letters, I would imagine you have good chances on getting in.

artyler Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 @mmattson: Perhaps Natacha has some inside knowledge that I don't have, but while the GRE is required at many schools, they realize that a large vocabulary and knowledge of geometry are not the tell-tale signs that you will be able to complete PA school. That 2.8 GPA in science is going to be a huge hurdle to overcome and be overlooked. Most people in my class were A students in the vast majority of their classes and when they arrived at PA school found that an "A" was no longer the norm for them, many pass tests with "C's" and low "B's". If I were on the admissions board knowing that, I would have to take that into consideration, if typical "A" students drop to "C" students, how would a "C" student do? I wish you luck on your trek toward PA, but your GPAs are going to hurt you a lot, especially when you look at how many people apply for the limited number of seats available.

jkentp Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hello, and congratulations to everyone who has been accepted! I applied to NOVA-Jax and everything was received at the very end of October, so I probably applied fairly late. I got an email about the supplemental app and that I'm past initial review, but I still haven't heard anything back yet as far as an interview or anything else. I did notice a couple of weeks ago that in my processed application on WebSTAR under requirements it says "Interview", but no date. I was wondering if this may be something they put on everyone's status or if I may have missed the letter or something. If anyone knows where they are in the process that would be great. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewChristine Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Jkentp, I never remember seeing anything on my webstar about "interview", even after I scheduled my interview. I got an email asking me to interview. Search your inbox? And if you still have any doubts, maybe call Lindsey? I called her with a question about my webstar not showing my GRE scores as being received and she was happy to help. :) Turns out they had them, it just didn't say so on my end. Glitches happen. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwebb37 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I have my interview this Friday and would really appreciate any tips or advice specific to nova jax.

If preferred, feel free to private message me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they are mostly get to know you type of questions if you don't get that one. If you can articulate something on paper at 830 in the morning, you'll be fine. It's handwritten and you are given 20 minutes, so allocate your time accordingly. I kind of got lost with my thoughts and kept writing so just watch timing it flies by.
