Tampa NSU interview

Posted by st User icon on November 21, 2012, 1:35 pm

I just received an interview invite to the nsu tampa program. The dates are december 11,13, and 14 if I remember correctly. Has anyone else already interviewed there or are these the first scheduled interviews?

Hi, these aren't the first interviews for tampa or the other campus. I believe the first interviews were around Nov 12th.
Did you had a choice to pick one date from those 3 above? I'm also waiting to hear from Nova. Best of luck on your interview, and please share how it went once you come back.

I recently read that the recruiter for Tampa only offers interviews to applicants with a combined GRE of 310. If you don't mind me asking, what is your combined scores? Mine is a 309 and have shown to be competitive at other schools but, if this info is true, I guess not Tampa.

I have the older GRE score of 1150. A few others on here have mentioned they have recived interview invites from South and Emory over a month ago. However there's very little news on interviews for Nova. I keep hearing that those who have applied to Nova, South and Emory, have heard from South or Emory but no word from Nova yet. I'm hoping they are just taking their time with the interview invites. Which schools have you received invites from?

Keep in mind, too, that both Emory and South have early application deadlines whereas Nova does not, plus their final deadline, I believe, is the latest of the three. So it makes sense that Nova is the last to be heard from. It's probably not in and of itself a bad sign.

Recieved invites from South and Emory. I only applied to Nova-Ft. Lauderdale (whom I have yet to hear back from). I was going to apply to Tampa soon but i'm hesitant to do so being 1 point below the GRE cut-off.

Apply anyway. The only thing you have to lose it the application fee. When I was at the Emory interview, they had a presentation with averages from last year's class, and the lower range of the GRE scores seemed to be below the 55th percentile they say they require. It's always possible that they will overlook a 1 point difference in light of other things they like about you.

Do you remember from the presentation how low the lowest GRE scores were that they accepted? Also, do you recall if those low GRE scores were balanced by really high GPA's? Thanks...

I really don't remember details, other than being pretty sure the lower end of the range given was a bit below 55th percentile, which surprised me. But it was the first thing we did that morning and I was more nervous about the interview itself so my memory could be off.

I think I'm going to pass on applying there. This was directly from Eric DeRise (Tampa Recruiter). "In the Tampa program 310 is the minimum. If it's below that I don't forward the application to the COA for review because it doesn't meet the minimum requirements which qualify you to apply."

Did he mention what the minimum GRE score is for the Ft. Lauderdale program? Do you know if it's also 310? Thanks...

He didn't say. He only does the recruiting at Tampa. I don't know who the recruiter is for the Ft. Lauderdale program but I presume they have a similar minimum requirement.

RT, any update from Ft. Lauderdale? All this time waiting is kinda starting to get to me.

How did your interviews at South and Emory went?
Have they notified you of their decision?

Nope, still no word from Nova-Ft. Lauderdale. At this point I'm guessing that we won't hear from them until after the holidays... I was wait listed at Emory and my South interview isn't until january.

Hello! I just got through with my interview at NOVA Tampa and it went really well if anyone has any questions.
