Nova Southeastern University
Fort Lauderdale, FL
What are your chances of getting into Nova Southeastern University?
Nova Southeastern University is a large private research university in Fort Lauderdale and Davie, with a very health-professions-heavy identity and a broad mix of undergraduate, graduate, and professional study. It is especially known for dentistry, osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, optometry, law, psychology, business, education, computing and engineering, plus marine science through its oceanographic work. With a roughly 73% admit rate and middle 50% SAT range of 1030 to 1300, it is comparatively accessible while still offering specialized, career-oriented programs. The campus setting is suburban South Florida, so students get a warm-weather, urban-adjacent lifestyle with access to the Fort Lauderdale area rather than a secluded college-town feel. Student life is active and practical, with more than 200 organizations, small average class sizes, and a community that draws students from across the country and internationally. The students who tend to thrive here are self-directed, professionally focused, and open to a large, diverse university where many peers are already aiming at health and graduate careers.

Is this the most accurate college admissions calculator?+
Counselly's chances calculator runs on real, current admissions data, the actual admit rates and SAT/ACT ranges colleges report to the U.S. Department of Education, not averages scraped from forums. Our algorithm weighs your GPA, test scores, and extracurricular strength against each school's admitted-student profile the way an admissions reader would begin, which makes it one of the most reliable free tools for seeing where you'll get into college.
How does the calculator predict my chances of getting in?+
It compares your academic profile to each college's real admitted class. We look at where your GPA and test scores fall within a school's 25th to 75th percentile range, combine that with the school's overall admit rate, and factor in your extracurricular strength, then translate it into a clear percentage and a Safety, Match, or Reach label. Everything recalculates instantly as you add schools or adjust your stats.
What counts as a good chance of getting into a college?+
Roughly above 60% is a Safety, you're comfortably ahead of the typical admitted student. Around 30 to 60% is a Match, realistic and worth prioritizing. Below 30% is a Reach, still absolutely worth applying to if it's a dream school. The strongest college lists balance all three, and Counselly helps you build exactly that kind of list.
Which colleges can I check my admission chances for?+
Hundreds of US colleges and universities, from Ivy League schools to large public flagships to smaller private colleges. Just start typing, MIT, UCLA, NYU, Michigan, and pick from the suggestions.

Can a calculator really tell me where I will get accepted?+
No tool can promise an outcome, and you should be cautious of any that claims to. What Counselly does exceptionally well is show you, honestly and instantly, exactly where you stand academically at each college, so you can build a smart, balanced list instead of guessing. Your essays, recommendations, and story do the rest, and your free assessment is built to help you strengthen all of them.
