ME! :) i got rejected for the fall term so i'm not giving up so im applying for the next semester ! Are you done with all your classes? Whats your GPA?

Mhmm, I just finished all of my pre- req classes this past semester. How about you? My cumulative GPA is a 3.33, but 3.67 in the required courses. I'm hoping that's good enough to get accepted to the main campus :uhoh3:

I'm still not done with my classes I'm taking 3 now during the summer my cum gpa is 3.4 and might go up to 3.5 or stay the same but i know it won't go lower than that. Off the top of my head my pre req gpa is a 3.5 ish . I have confidence because Ive seen people getting.in with as low as a 3.1 so I think we both have a shot at getting in . But from reading the threads on this forum submit ur application as early as possible and that'll help your chances . What campus are u applying to?

Yea hopefully I'll be fine! I have read soo many of the threads on here about Nova and it seems doable to get accepted- unlike other programs in the state appear to be! I'm applied to the Ft. Lauderdale campus on Wednesday, so now I'm just waiting for them to receive my transcripts. I hope thats early enough :eek: lol when are you applying?

itsnicolee · Jun 13, 2011

yeah it does seem really do-able ! Well im trying to figure out if i can resubmit my application online. and then ill send my transcripts now and resend them when i finish my summer grades are in. but im still super nervous!

And you're applying to the main campus, right? If you get accepted are you going to apply for the Baptist scholarship?

itsnicolee · Jun 13, 2011

Nope Im applying for kendall campus. and i want to but i;ve also heard that nurses that were on baptist scholars get paid less not sure if thats true or not but either way i think i would want to do it anyway.

Hi! I'm hoping to get accepted to Nova for Spring 2012 as well- I applied for the main campus. I know that the deadline just passed but I'm already anxious to hear back haha

itsnicoleee · Sep 11, 2011

hey guys! i'm not sure if you were aware of this, but there was a chat session with nova admissions and financial aid representatives last thursday (you should have been notified via e-mail or your vip page). here are some of the points that i found useful:

- nova does not select applicants on a first-come, first-serve basis. they said they used to do this, but not anymore

- you must have all of your pre-requisite classes completed before the application deadline to even be considered

- for financial aid, if you already have a bachelor's degree, you are eligible for stafford loans. they advised us to look for external scholarships

- nova has a 97% pass rate for the rn-nclex exam on the first try

- clinical rotations start 2nd semester

- # of students chosen each semester: 80 (main campus), 50 (ft. meyers), 60 (kendall)

- those who already have a bachelor's degree have no priority over other applicants

- 3.4 cumulative gpa is considered competitive and a 3.2 science gpa (pre-req sciences only) is considered competitive

- scholarship info @ http://www.nova.edu/financialaid/scholarships/institutional.html

- we take about 12 credits a semester and are automatically registered

- average class size: 30 students

- we get days off according to the academic calendar; our only extended break is from dec 12 to january 8th

hope this helps answer any lingering questions that you might have had :)
