Waitlist at Nova

How many on wait list for admission 2019. And what percentage are accepted. Wait list is cleared June 1 or are some exceptions

According to their 2018-2019 Common Data Set - 6821 were placed on the waiting list. 2856 accepted a place on waiting list and 47 of them were admitted.

I heard I forget where that if you were waitlisted for Nursing or any science major that you had almost no chance of getting admitted. Business and CLAS applicants normally get taken off the waitlist. Last year they took so few people off of the waitlist but I’d bet that number will grow significantly this year because last year they won the national championship in basketball and that probably played a huge role in many of last years’ applicants decisions to choose Nova over other (maybe better) schools.

When I say CLAS I mean only the arts majors within CLAS and not the science majors.

Last year they were at least a couple nursing students that made it off the waitlist so not impossible.

I graduated 2nd in my class from Nova, Summa Cum Laude. Now an accomplished Orthopaedic Surgeon. Son was just waitlisted for Class of ‘23…

SAT 1410
GPA 5.02 , w/16 combined AP + Honors classes.
Rank 10/150s at one of the best high schools in PA.
2 year starting QB and elected captain.
Baseball, basketball, lax.
Community service record extensive.

My brother also graduated from Nova. So, legacy status appears to matter little.
He’s been accepted to superior southern schools, but would have strongly considered Nova.

Please don’t call me for any donations…
