How hard is NSU to get into? You have great scores so you'll have no problem, but why did you decide to apply to NSU?

According to the admission officers at NSU, the incoming student stat for 2015-2016 was GPA 3.7 and 21 DAT. Metric is just number, and I have an interview to be testified my non cognitive factors, thus I will save that comment until Dec 1st. I decided to apply to nova since it is 4 miles from LA fitness and 1 mile from costco and chick-fil-a. I cant live without the chick-fil-a and hotdogs from costco.

 

[DC206R]

Those Costco hotdogs are deals.

 

[sharkteethdentist]

I always thought the pizza was the best, at least by me, they have the biggest and cheesiest slices lol

That does not come with a free drink. Costco hotdog is $1.50 with unlimited refills of soft drink. However, I agree their cheese pizza is the best. I also recommend their chicken bake too.

 

[Toothout]

The pepperoni slice is also amazing lol, and hey unlimited soda is cool and all, but were all gonna be dentists here can't be enjoying too much of that tasty sugar filled disaster were all so fond of hahahaha

Costco?

 

[Toothout]

yeah they have like a food court usually in the front of the store

We don't have those over here. Never heard of it

 

[TrueMenace]

We don't have those over here. Never heard of it

Costco is everywhere, and definitely in CT. lol
Put your zip code in and let us know if there is a close one by you. This is super interesting man. I need to know this lmfao.

Will NSU ignore me if I don't have a liberal arts LOR? Anyone get an interview invite without one?

 

[1070752]

That's the only reason I didn't apply there.

 

[AZborn]

I never had one and i got an interview.

 

[DMDDDSHopeful]

ADEA AADSAS guide has their average at a 19 - also contacted admissions for clarification (I was interview wait listed last week) - I was told that only 4 people or so get pulled off of the list (typically they are the ones who retook DAT) - so I'm basically counting this as a rejection since I have no intention of retaking

Then it must've increased. I was waitlisted last year too with a 19.

She "Maybe that's why he became a dentist" is a quote from The Office. Just a huge office fan.

You can still apply, it's not even that late!

 

[1070752]

Eh, it's okay. Already applied to 9.

 

[DMDDDSHopeful]

Eh, it's okay. Already applied to 9.

Just 9?

 

[1070752]

Just 9?

Yeah, all the ones that seem to accept Canadians at a good rate. Figuring if I don't get into 1/9 at least, then I won't be getting into any others. Plus 9 is already a **** ton of money.

I only applied to 6 Midwestern schools (IU, UMich, Case, UofL, UK, and MW-IL), and unfortunately that means I probably won't hear back until very late July or early August.

I expected a rejection from MWU AZ cuz of my lousy DAT lol, but got waitlisted for interview today, hopefully get an interview after i retake the DAT.
sGPA: 3.22 oGPA: 3.35

Check the new thread that I posted regarding MWU Arizona. Hate to burst your bubble but "waitlist" for an interview is a nice way of them saying "rejected," as one SDN member kindly pointed out regarding last year's cycle.

I don't want to accept that fact either, but their selection process seems very haphazard. I would put my hopes into the other schools that you've applied to.

Yeah, not sure if you were referring to me, but I was waitlisted for an interview last year. It goes nowhere. Even with above average stats. Not sure how they select people. Some people have 2.something GPAs and get interviews. Oh well. Look at other schools like he/she said.

 

[Dentistry.masterd]

Do schools send you their supplemental application after we pay the requested secondary app fee? (If they're still interested in us)

When you are notified via the portal, does it show up in "school decisions"? Or you get a message?
