What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

"Not hold in-person interviews if the dean is going to be completely paranoid the whole time rather than getting to know the applicants." More from this Member | Report Response

"keep up the good work" More from this Member | Report Response

"Please make some change! Please improve on your program as you expect the same thing from students" More from this Member | Report Response

"Give us more tour guides. the group was big and it was hard to hear what the students were saying a lot of times if you are in the back of the group" More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing" More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing at all! Everyone was so nice and every time I call or email I get a very fast response. And for those that are traveling for the interview they ask if you have flight restrictions so you get to be seen faster. Super accommodating. Always a pleasure to be at NOVA :)" More from this Member | Report Response

"Keep doing what you're doing! Every school should have their interview like Nova!

About the LizzyM Score

LizzyM, SDN Moderator and medical school admissions committee member, is the inventor of the LizzyM Score. The score allows you to see if you are a competitive applicant at a given school. If your LizzyM Score is far below or above the average, you may not be a good fit. If your score is far below, your application may be screened out due to numerical cutoffs. If it is far above, the school may assume they are your “safety” school and that you won’t attend if they offer an acceptance. This score should be used only as a guide to help you select schools and is not a guarantee of acceptance at any school. If you use this as your sole criteria to select medical schools to apply to, you don’t deserve to get in anyway.
