Pain and DESTRUCTION.
that, or relief and euphoria
(i hope the latter)
Pain and DESTRUCTION.
Really getting sick of the way Hofstra is dealing with the application process, particularly all of the delays. If this is how they're going to run the medical school I am particularly worried about their ability to get things done. What do you guys think?
why is everyone upset with them? i've still got a few schools where i submitted a secondary in july/august and haven't heard a peep. you've nearly made it through the winter people, don't crack now.
Yup just gotta keep it together people!!
I predict, using all my psychic power that the next batch will go out on....
NEXT FRIDAY! (with no evidence base)
If I'm right I expect to be showered with snacks. (soft snacks)
NO PANICKING UNTIL THEN.
Comparing admissions to "how they run their medical school" is ridiculous. They have to be even more cautious than other schools, which they've made very clear throughout the cycle.

I'm voting Friday March 11th because I will be heading to Mexico for the weekend and can drink Tequila either to celebrate or mourn. And obviously the decision will be timed around my travel plans 🙂 How's that for a prediction?!
Ha well if you're in San Diego like me you could hit up Mexican tequila whatever day you get news! Just a hop, skip, and a jump away, although a little rougher these days. May be safer going to Old Town.
I too live in San Diego. I would say going there and having a fun time is cool, but the line to get back in the states will take half a day
are you a UCSD student?
Was. Graduated in June 2009. Revelle pride!
so what have you been doing for the last 2 years? if you don't mind me asking
...The Hof! (yes that should be the school's nickname)
The Hof! That's awesome. However, until I hear from them about admissions, they're the Ice Planet of Hof to me.
So, I was reading on this forum that Hofstra was done interviewing, but I just got an interview invite today. The only available date was March 11th. Anyone else in the same boat?

Congrats on the invite! Hopefully it turns out to be a good day for us.I was also invited today for March 11th!!
I got the invite via email. Before today I thought my chances for an interview were done too lol.Wow, I thought the likelihood of getting an interview at this school was done! I'm still waiting and under review....how did you get the invite? Email? Status Update? Phone Call?
Goodluck!
Wow. Now this whole thread can regress a month backwards into panic and speculation, lol.
This is absolutely insane...I interviewed on 2/11 and they said MULTIPLE TIMES that we were the very last they would interview.

It is pretty crazy that they are handing out more invitations since the ratio of interviews to spots available was so extreme to begin with. This is making me just a touch uneasy...😳 Did they not find enough good candidates in the first 900? I strongly doubt it. I guess it's either that or the people they are interviewing now were too awesome to pass up (which I am sure you all are🙂). Very interesting move by The Hof.
My take on these March interviews is this (and Mrs. Snapp feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)...it's a glitch in the Matrix. So we should all not pay attention to it and keep on living our lives or else Agent Smith is going to show up at our doors 🙂
This is absolutely insane...I interviewed on 2/11 and they said MULTIPLE TIMES that we were the very last they would interview, and now they are going into march...it honestly makes no sense at all to me. I was thinking a lot of us would here something this Friday....but now it appears it is still going to be a very very very long wait.
This is what I was talking about. What kind of school sets 2 HARD DEADLINES for interviews and then renegs twice? Again, I'm worried that Hofstra does not have its act together...
I have a hypothesis:
By releasing acceptances later on in the year, you weed out people who are using Hofstra as a safety/2nd choice.
People who get into any other school they would choose over Hofstra, will probably withdraw or turn down an offer. Making Hofstra's choices easier. Anyone who considers Hofstra a top choice, will wait patiently.
People who are super impatient, and withdraw from frustration, wouldn't survive medical school (especially a new & intensive curriculum) anyhow.
I highly doubt this is WHY they are doing things so slowly, but its an effect anyhow. More importantly, its not all that odd, given that some medical schools have accepted NO-ONE yet (they wait until the whole interview season is over).
I am surprised if they are in-fact still interviewing (but again, just because one person says interviews are ending, doesn't meant the school has to abide by that rule). Its not official unless its on paper. I'm sure you would all want to have the best and brightest classmates, and more interviews means better quality students in the end.
On a side note, the accepted students I've heard of are all genuinely excited about Hofstra, even with other great acceptances. Hopefully that means the first class with be strong, and the school can recruit top-kids every year.
