Has anyone been accepted off the wailist at Nova Ft. Lauderdale?

Posted by FutureAnesthetist User icon on March 24, 2013, 2:22 pm

I was told that Nova Ft. Lauderdale's final interview session was last Monday, and that they'd begin accepting applicants off the waitlist around that time. I'm on the waitlist myself, but I haven't heard anything back. Have any of you guys been accepted off the waitlist for Nova Ft. Lauderdale? Or have they not started accepting people on the list yet?

This location has another interview scheduled for April 1st, and the tampa campus has another interview day scheduled for April 2nd. I'm expecting there should be movement after that, but this can not be a reliable statement as they could add interview days throughout April. Hang in there.. We are all in the same boat.. The waiting-boat.

I talked to someone at Nova the other day and was told that they will be making decisions regarding the waitlist after next Monday.

In the meantime, do you know how far up your name is on the waitlist? Also, has anyone heard of anyone turning down their acceptance offer so far?

Which monday is that? Monday the 1st or the 8th? And I am 'High' on the waitlist. No other information than that

Monday the 1st. I have been told that I am in the upper half of the waitlist, so we'll see how it goes. I think he said that it has 10 or 11 people on it right now.

Just out of curiosity -- why do you think we were waitlisted? Does it all come down to poor interview performance, or could it be that we performed just as well in our interviews as the applicants who were accepted, but we had lower GPA/GRE scores than they had?

I have no idea why we were waitlisted. I really hope, as we are both active followers in this cycle, we do both get in. Best of luck and I guess we will have our answer here in a few days

Thanks, I hope you get accepted as well. Although honestly, at this point, I'm beginning to consider CRNA school. Have you thought about going that route, or are you set on being an AA?

Just giving the thread a quick bump... has anyone on the waitlist heard anything from Nova's Ft. Lauderdale program?

Also, I am curious to know if anyone heard how many people are put on the waitlist.

I just called and spoke with Mr. DeBruin yesterday, and he told me that nobody had been accepted off the waitlist at this point because nobody had turned down their offer to attend. He didn't say how many people were on the waitlist, but I was past #5, so he told me I would probably be better off making plans to re-apply rather since my chances of getting off the waitlist are pretty slim. Good luck...

I turned down my offer to attend at fort lauderdale, and Ive heard of a few others doing so, so there may be some movement in the future. also UCdenver is accepting applications until may 1st if your set on starting this year. itll all work out

I am just curious, but can you tell me when you turned down the offer to Ft. Lauderdale?

I wonder how far into the waitlist they typically go to in the past.
