2019-2020 Hofstra

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I'm a neurotic monkey, so I looked at last year's thread - they sent out another wave of acceptances in mid-January as well, followed by a wave of WLs I think. So it really isn't over yet. Keep your heads up!

I interviewed that week as well and haven't heard back, and I know someone earlier in this thread interviewed on 11/25 and didn't hear anything. Wondering if maybe our week hasn't heard back yet.

Interviewed on the 26th as well (11/26) and I have not heard back either. A bit worried seeing acceptances going around and with the holidays approaching so quickly it doesn't seem like ill be getting the acceptance :( willl most likely get the R or WL in mid jan unfortunately.

Hofstra is like a dream school to me I would literally cancel all my interviews and just pay their deposit if I got accepted hahahah ugh. but alas here we are. Hope my fellow 26ers are doing well out there!!

Anyone who has already interviewed - can you give me an outline and what you did the entire day? And how many stations at the MMI/were there traditional MMI stations? I can't seem to find any information online. Thanks!

2, 16 minute standard interviews with a faculty member.
5, 8 minute MMI stations (2 minutes to read/prep, 6 minutes to talk)

You start the day off with an informational session about the curriculum. Next, they split you into two groups. One group does an interview, while the other group does some Mini Skills Lab to get a greater feel of the curriculum (nothing to stress about). Once finished, the two groups switch. Then, you eat lunch and talk to medical school students. Then a tour followed by a financial Aid session, and final comments. Think I left around 1:45

Got accepted like 4 days ago. Made some jokes about jeopardy during my MMI so just do that and you are in there 100%.

I think the NDA was more about the content/questions of the actual interview not the structure of the interview.

On the other hand, it give me more (maybe false) hope, since it seems like they're sending out As on multiple days spread out instead of just a couple of days like last year.

If anyone shatters my hope, I will kill you, or more realistically, just be kinda sad.

where did people stay for the interview? i'm staying with a friend for a few days in manhattan, but i'm wondering if i should look for a place closer to campus for the night before since the drive from manhattan can be long/unpredictable.
 
The drive is unpredictable and long but you might have good luck using the LIRR system! I'm not gonna tell you that the LIRR is a great rail system that never has delays, but the trains usually leave on time unless you get really unlucky. Grab a $10 Uber from the train station to the campus and you're golden.

I stayed at the Long Island Marriott which is close to the school. Hofstra has a discount code for it you can find on their website, but it’s still rather expensive.

I'd recommend an Air Bnb.

If you really need it, you can request a student host by contacting admissions. It's not advertised though, because there are only a very limited number of volunteer hosts.

I requested one, filled out the form and no one got back to me n=1
 
Are any current Hofstra medical students able to comment on the merit scholarships offered? Is Hofstra generous with offering these scholarships, or do only a select few receive them?

No idea, but last year they had a wave of acceptances on the 14th, which was a Monday. Is it sad that I know this off the top of my head? Yes, lol.

So basically the people who interviewed early and didn’t hear in December should expect R/WL in the January wave, right? That’s at least how it looks to me based on last years thread.

I'd rather have a little hope than none at all! It means there's still a chance?!

there must be some chance, considering the extent of that R wave, and the range of complete days from the casualties. Suggests all those who have yet to be rejected are in some kind of hold as back-ups for ppl who drop.

True! Sadly I'm in the always the backup slot with most of my schools as of now. Gotten 1 II, 5 R, 1 pre II hold, and nothing from 14. Let's hope that 1 II turns into an A.
