Has anyone received the correct link for the supplemental application for Nova? I was informed that the link on CASAA is not the right one.

Did everyone use the same personal statement as the one from CASAA? I'm not sure if I should just use a summary of my personal statement for the supplemental application.

I just put refer to CASAA application. I thought about doing the same thing back when I filled it out, but realized that would be kind of silly. It sounds like they will be using your essay from CASSA (Check out the short discussion on NOVA text box personal statement) so no need to have it on the NOVA application really. If your essay from CASAA fits (which I doubt it would) then go ahead, but I wouldn't waste my time trying to whittle down the essay. The CASAA text box is already small enough, lol.

Is the supplemental application link on NOVA's website incorrect too?

Yes, that one is incorrect as well. I know because I already had mine filled out and ready to submit from the CASAA website when I was told it was incorrect. When I went through Nova's website to find the correct supplemental application, it took me to the exact same application I already had completed. Right now it's a waiting game for Nova to be able to download the CASAA applications properly

I don't think this is correct. I submitted the supplemental application found on CASAA/their website and was told that they were correct. I can now log into the application and see what materials of mine they have received. It is true that they are having trouble with CASAA applications. However, I am positive that the link on CASAA is correct.

Do you know who told you this? Because I did speak with the Tampa admissions counselor who told me it was correct, but when I double checked with the Ft. Lauderdale admissions counselor she stated it was still incorrect. She said she was apart of the committee that created the new supplemental application and that admissions in Tampa might not be aware. I've had my supplemental applications ready, but I haven't submitted them because the Ft. Lauderdale counselor suggested I wait. I just want to make sure nothing has changed since the last time I've spoken with them.

I spoke with two people at Ft. Lauderdale last week and they both told me my NSU application had been received. I asked if they were sure it was the correct application and they both told me yes. I wish there wasn't so much confusion! They told me they were working on fixing the CASAA problem and that I shouldn't worry. Please post if you hear anything else.

I spoke with someone else today and he stated that the current link on CASAA isn't necessarily for the "incorrect" application, it's just for the outdated one. They created another newer application that is much more simplified, but hasn't been fully approved through the university yet. He said to go ahead and submit it since I already filled it out. He stated worst case scenario would be that those of us who completed the old one early would have to fill out the newer application once it's approved through the university and our fee would be waived. Best case scenario is that their system will still accept the older, longer version of the supplemental application and they won't need any more information. Also he said he could see my detailed CASAA application with my stats and everything, so hopefully they have that figured out now. Finally, he also stated that if admissions gets their act together they should start looking at applications and sending out invites for interviews as early as next week. He said the interviews would most likely be scheduled for late August/early September. If there are any more snags with downloading the CASAA applications he said it might delay the invites by a week or two. Sorry for the long-winded response, but if anyone has had my experience I've heard so many different things from different people. Hopefully this clears it up a bit and gives a better timeline of what to expect!

Wow thanks for that! So helpful. Quick question- now that you have submitted your supplemental application- when you log into it does it say they've received your CASAA application? NOVA told me that they can see my CASAA stuff but when I look on my NSU application in received materials it does not say that they have received my CASAA application. Just wanted to see if this was the same for everyone.

No, it still doesn't say they've received or downloaded my CASAA application. It also says they haven't received my LORs, resume/CV or transcripts. I know my LORs and CV are in the CASAA so hopefully that's all taken care of together. As for the transcripts, has anyone told you a specific timeline for when to send those to campus? Do they need those to even consider your application for review? Not sure if I'm making this up, but I thought they could be sent after you interviewed.

I think kdice is probably right. If the current NOVA app really wasn't the right one then they would surely send out an email to say so since they have our contact info from CASAA. It wouldn't make any since for that to be the wrong one and them to not have said anything at this point. You shouldn't have to call there to figure that out, they should send out a mass email if that is the case. At the end of the day submitting the current app shouldn't hurt you any way so no harm done if you do.

The admissions coordinator for Ft. Lauderdale informed me that the correct link will be sent out by email after they have reviewed your CASAA application. However, she also stated that they were having difficulty downloading individual CASAA applications for review. Hopefully it's fixed soon!

You got to be kidding me. I haven't submitted the supplemental application but I already finished it. How can it be the wrong one? You would think they would send out a notice to people who had started on CASAA or their application if that's the case. I guess I'll have to call down there to see what the deal is. Hopefully they can get this straightened out. CASAA has been having a string of problems it seems. One of my professors got 25 of the emails they send out in his inbox and the for the other ones I had to call for CASAA to send it since it wouldn't go through. At the end of the day it's not a huge deal, but still reflects poorly on the application service and the schools for not being prepared and not properly testing the system out. Well I guess they're getting plenty of testing now,lol.
