NSU waitlist

I was wondering if anyone that is currently enrolled or who is applying has been put on the waitlist. I was wondering what the odds of getting in off the waitlist are? I dont have too great of a feeling, but im also not a stranger to waitlists, so I may be biased.

Any input would help.

Thanks,

Really, it depends on where you are on the waitlist, and whether or not the people who were accepted are likely to accept or decline their admission. I was put on hold at both Emory and South this year during early admission, then later admitted to both. Emory was my first choice, and luckily I think a few people who were admitted chose Case over Emory, making room for me. So it could happen. I didn't apply to Nova so I don't know how many people are applying and would prefer to go somewhere else. Try feeling out what the general consensus seems to be from other applicants or on these boards, or if you feel confident, maybe call and ask for more specific details about your relative height on the list, etc.

From what I can see on the Forums, more people are choosing Ft. Lauderdale over Tampa, which I would LOVE since I am waitlisted at Tampa. So people, if you are on the borderline between Tampa and Ft. Lauderdale, PLEASE go to Ft. Laud. haha. I have contacted the director and he said there wouldnt be too much waitlist movement until after interviews have been completed.

During the 2011 admissions cycle, I was waitlisted at the Tampa program (I didn't receive an interview offer from the Fort Lauderdale campus). Unfortunately, I never heard back from Nova after that, but that's not to say that your experience will absolutely mirror mine.

Do you mind telling me your stats (GRE, GPA, health care experience, etc.) along with which program you were waitlisted at? Also, why do you feel you were waitlisted? Did your interview not go as smoothly as it could've?

Good luck on getting in off the waitlist.

Re: NSU waitlist

3.0, 317 GRE 157/160, and plenty of healthcare experience (years in a hospital setting, and a year in PACU/maxi-F-facial surgery). I am pretty sure I was waitlisted because of my GPA, I think my interview went alright, I really just tried to be myself and not use high diction or anything to impress them. I would reallllly like to get in. I am really passionate about the occupation, and also about the campus I was waitlisted.. Are you currently enrolled in a program?

Re: NSU waitlist

No, I'm not currently enrolled in any program. I have interviews scheduled at both of Nova's campuses for later this month. I have a somewhat low GRE score (a few points under 310), so if I end up getting waitlisted again, it will probably be because of that (unless I weird them out at the interview).

Re: NSU waitlist

Ah, so im competing directly against you! ha. Well I do wish you the best of luck.

Re: NSU waitlist

Thanks. Eh, I wouldn't say that you are competing directly against me -- I was waitlisted before, so it could happen again! But I hope not, LOL. Did you apply to both of Nova's programs? If so, did you have interviews at both?

Re: NSU waitlist

No, just applied to the one program. My heart is really set on it. And when it comes to academic acceptances, I usually tend to think everyone is in direct competition.

They have added interview days.. including April 2nd. So it looks like the waitlist may be a tough list to get off of.

That's too bad. I'm waitlisted at the Fort Lauderdale program, and I know that they have at least one more interview session coming up as well, so I'm not keeping my hopes up on getting in either. At this point, it would probably be wise for some of us to consider becoming CRNA's, LOL.
