I asked Dr. Eason about this, this was her response: "Those with a deadline and application, generally students will not hear until after the deadline so we can review all applications. However, the other scholarships non-application based, for newly accepted students we aim to notify individuals prior to April 30th."Does anyone know when financial aid is supposed to be released? Or has anyone received a merit or need-based scholarship at all?
Someone was accepted on Wednesday...there’s no definitive timeline! You either get accepted or you get a rejection email during the summerHas anyone been accepted or rejected from the waitlist and how long does is take to find out? Or are you just indefinitely on the waitlist once you’re placed?
Yes same as waitlist, I interviewed in October!Congratulations!! What is the alternate list? Is this the same thing as a waitlist?
No I didn’t send an update or receive additional emails from them since OctoberDid you send any updates or get any additional emails since you were added to the waitlist? I also interviewed in October and havent head anything beyond being placed on the waitlist.
The second look happened this past Monday 4/19, but it was recorded so hopefully they will email it out or post on the admitted class Facebook pageA couple questions for any accepted students/current students!
On my acceptance letter it noted:
As a condition of your acceptance, you will be required to successfully complete an online pre-matriculation program designed to strengthen your foundational knowledge in Biochemistry and Immunology. As noted, the program is entirely online and the required materials for the course will be offered at no additional cost to you. Further information regarding the details of the pre-matriculation program will be provided to you in the coming months.
I was just wondering if everyone has to complete this and if anyone’s received information on the length/start date of that as I was hoping to travel most of the summer before starting.
Also on their application timeline it mentioned the second look being in April, has this already took place and what did you think if you attended?
I am stressing a little bit about having to make a decision on this school by April 30 so any insight helps
There’s 28 members in the Facebook with 3 admin, so 25 studentsHow many seats are currently filled and how many more do they plan to fill for the incoming class?
I asked the admissions committee this around March and at that time they had about 45 seats filled and had sent out between 60-75 acceptances. In 2020 I believe they sent out 150+ acceptances in total which I'm guessing over half were from WL movement. fingers crossed tho, whatever the outcome is we'll all prob still be fine and be successful whether now or laterHow many seats are currently filled and how many more do they plan to fill for the incoming class?
+1Waitlisted. Interviewed a week ago.
I think they're gonna start movement after the May 7th alternate list deadlineAny waitlist movement?
Thank you! And yes, I got the email recently for the alternative list and immediately replied.Congratulations!!! So exciting!! Were you on the alternative list?
Congratulations! Did you send a LOI?Thank you! And yes, I got the email recently for the alternative list and immediately replied.
If you want to live in the Miami-Dade area, it's going to be quite expensive! Maybe you can really search hard for a kind hearted soul to rent you a room for cheap, like some of my friends have done in the past, but it's not going to be easy to find, you'll work for it.Does anyone know how this schools compares to Albany in terms of tuition and cost of living? I’m from FL. I have a lease to sign in Albany but kinda hoping I get off the alternate list at nova?! Idk?! I’m losing it. Help me! From the previous threads, seems like nova is more expensive.
not sure what you're used to in terms of rent, but I think you can get a decent place to live that is affordable if you sign with roommates. Now, in general, yes Miami-Dade area is more expensive in terms of restaurants, stores, etc. but it's a beautiful place to be! Like mentioned above, if you do your research, you can find a place to live that is affordable for you.Does anyone know how this schools compares to Albany in terms of tuition and cost of living?

Isn't NSU in Broward county though? like in Ft-Lauderdale?not sure what you're used to in terms of rent, but I think you can get a decent place to live that is affordable if you sign with roommates.

yes!! more Davie/Ft. Lauderdale, but that area (from my experience of living in south Florida and looking for apartments) is still on the upper end. but again, having roommates will bring the cost downIsn't NSU in Broward county though? like in Ft-Lauderdale?
Yes, and in it I emphasized family tiesCongratulations! Did you send a LOI?
I only see 38 right nowIt’s looks like they admitted a lot of people recently because the facebook group is filled. Anyone have any insight from admissions as to how many seats are confirmed and how many are remaining?
I think it’s 3 admin and 1 MS4Are there only 3 admins in the Facebook group and are the rest incoming students?
The roster likely won't be settled until the week classes begin.Is class full?
Absolutely. I'm surprised someone hasn't posted an update from the admissions office on here yet actually.Are we allowed to contact admissions to ask how much more waitlist movement is expected? I’m assuming some of us on the waitlist here are expected to put down a deposit soon at another school, so if you’re in the same boat, wanted to know your thoughts?
No idea, there was no groupme and Facebook was pretty quiet. So it’s either 15 open seats or that many people don’t have Facebook lolThanks for sharing. Do you know if there are others in the class who haven’t joined the Facebook group or if there are still 15 open seats?
Did I hear Nova MD is not accredited yet? Shouldn’t this be in big, bold letters somewhere?
Oh thank you for explaining this. Should i be worried about this? I am very conflicted choosing between NOVA MD and Albany? Does anybody have any advise? I would appreciate any info. Also didn’t they graduate their first class this year?It's currently provisionally accredited by LCME. It's a 3-step process: preliminary -> provisional -> full accreditation. Provisional is the highest status that a school can have that hasn't had a graduating class yet.

Albany all the way. Don’t even think twiceOh thank you for explaining this. Should i be worried about this? I am very conflicted choosing between NOVA MD and Albany? Does anybody have any advise? I would appreciate any info. Also didn’t they graduate their first class this year?
Ok. That was informative. Thank you. So do we get federal loans normally with the provisional accreditation?The first graduating class will be the class of 2022. I wouldn't really worry too much about the accreditation thing. Most new US MD schools that get to provisional status reach full accreditation. NOVA should get theirs in 2023, I believe.
As for NOVA vs. Albany, I'm not too sure. It really depends on the financial aid offer, location preference, hospital affiliations for rotations, research opportunities, etc. Newer schools are still in the process of working out the kinks and establishing connections. Hope this helps and good luck.
Albany for sureOh thank you for explaining this. Should i be worried about this? I am very conflicted choosing between NOVA MD and Albany? Does anybody have any advise? I would appreciate any info. Also didn’t they graduate their first class this year?
For NOVA specifically, yes you can take out federal loans.Ok. That was informative. Thank you. So do we get federal loans normally with the provisional accreditation?
I picked Nova over a more established MD program. Happy to PM and talk with youOh thank you for explaining this. Should i be worried about this?
