Nova Southeastern

It means you get an interview. As with any limited access program, applicants are screened through the application process, if you meet the criteria, an interview is granted. Then the admission committee will decide out of the interviewed applicants who is granted admittance. Depending on how many spots there are to fill vs number of applicants/interviewees, likely there are more people seeking admittance than there are spots for, so yes, people may have interviews and not be admitted. On the other hand, everyone offered admittance may decide not to attend, so usually there is an alternate list so someone may get in because someone else turns the offer to be admitted down. This is generally how a limited access program works.

Hope this helps.

ahhh! i sent all of my stuff last week... i hope i at least get an interview... it seems everyone wants to be a nurse all of sudden, and its becoming harder to get in. Id love to go to a school like Nova though... keeps fingers crossed, how long do they usually take to let you know about the interview...

I applied in December and in Feb. they called me to set up an interview. Good luck to you. :)

I have my interview tomorrow! I hope I get in, any advice about the interview process? I applied to the South Fort Myers campus. Anyone else?

does anyone know what the sample writing section is on? or about?

Don't stress about the interview.. they only ask like six questions. They will give you a tour of the school first. It's really relaxed so don't worry. I applied to the main campus but hoping to get the baptist scholarship. Good luck!!!

Thank you! I was okay until I started reading all of these threads I am the only person I know who is applying to the Fort Myers campus, even though I would love to be there in Davie, but can't afford to pay for housing and classes at the same time! But, I hope you get in and I do too! Thank you.

As far as spots and interviews, I started last fall, they had 100 spots and 150 interviews. I don't know what percentage they are interviewing this time around, but one of profs who is interviewing seemed to let on they were doing a lot more interviews this time around.

How did your interview go?

The interview went fantastic! I love how it is the actual professors interviewing you. I think I did quite well, so hopefully I will be there in the Fall.

The essay wasn't too bad, it was more of a "Why do you want to become a Nurse" question with a lot of filler! Good thing I had the answer practiced :)

Now the very long wait for that acceptance\ rejection lettter to come!
