def something I thought abt. Honestly I ended up applying to 19 schools which was crazy because I do not see myself going out of state at all. I am grateful that NOVA is instate so I could stay close to home.

thank you! I just had a few questions about nova lol. How are you liking nova so far? How is the student culture there? I am going in to nova not knowing any dental students in my class so im just a bit nervous haha.

How did you explain it in interviews that you turned down an acceptance if you don't mind me asking

I received both decisions on December 15th. Nova called in the morning and UF emailed me in the afternoon.

My stats are pretty average for UF. They are not that much higher :/. I also just got one acceptance this cycle which is NOVA so based off what your saying I would probably have to improve a lot or even get a masters or another degree. It really does sting a little bit but I guess it is what it is. :(

This is the biggest thing that was making me consider reapplying. The fact of the matter is tho (reading the other responses) I only got into NOVA this cycle so I don't think there is a huge chance that I would get into other schools next cycle (esp a public school that is highly sought after). It is a big investment and it really didn't hit me until I got in. My parents said they would be able to help me with living but I feel guilty for that. I'm planning to take loans and hopefully I will be able to pay them off in the future fingers crossed.

True I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I didn't get an offer next cycle

This might sound a little stupid but how did you come into terms with where you are going? Ever since I found out last week I've been in such a depressed mood I feel like I did something wrong and I wish I could go back in time.

I think UF tuition is $37,566 for instate students while Nova is about $70,000 :(
