NICE. It managed to snow in NYC this morning. So much for Spring. 👎
I really hope you get in so we can crush it in beach next year.
LOL idk how conducive Jones Beach is to that....

Well hey, if we get in, we're the pioneer class shaping the Hofstra program. So one of our first orders of business will be "shaping" Hofstra medicine by installing a sand area for volleyball in that grass lot next to the med building. And perhaps a badass adult playground or something of the sort.

I believe that is the football and lac training field lol
Well if they can play professional football with a professional baseball field in the middle, they can play, whatever division Hofstra football is, with a volleyball sand pit in the middle
No football training going on at Hofstra these days. They discontinued the program last year. (The consensus on campus is that it they wanted to put the money into the med school.)
As for surfing... there's always Montauk.
i know we say this every week, but i have a feeling this is the one! lolz![]()
There's a good shot that some will go out if they want to heed the recommended march 30th deadline, my guess is it's only 20 though, or maybe 20 + however many from the first batch declined

Did anybody decline their spot so far?
i wonder how many other accepted students are out there that haven't joined the accepted student forum....cuz if there's only 6 people on there then maybe we can hope for more than 20 acceptances this next round!!!
I really don't want to be the bearer of bad news... so much so that I went back and forth with even writing this... but I figured people would likely rather me share this info now than sit on the edge of their seats until April 9th expecting some big round of acceptances that just isn't coming.
I was at the med school for a lecture this evening (unrelated to admissions, it was part of their lecture series but many administrators attend them) and it was clearly stated (no middle-man involved in this whatsoever) that they were required to send out 40 offers of acceptance by March 15th and that they had in fact done so. So, there is officially no truth to the "only 20 acceptances have gone out theory." (I even said, "Listen can you clear something up for me because this is what I'm reading online..." and that's how I got an explanation of what's going on on their end.) They will slowly offer acceptances as people decline their offers of admission and the typical situation of "we'll have a better idea of how many seats are filled after May 15th" still applies.
I was as bummed by the news as I'm sure most of you waiting to hear from Hofstra are. Wish I could've had better news for you all. Good luck!!
Ummm that doesn't exactly make sense since AMCAs states
"By March 30 of the matriculation year, March 15 for MD-PhD programs, each school or program have issued a number of offers of acceptance at least equal to the expected number of students in its first-year entering class and have reported those acceptance actions to the AAMC Section for Medical School Application Services."

well that just ruined mywednesdayany time between now and July.
It is indeed true. I heard two different people in the school yesterday say that they received deposits for the 40 spots already.
That seems odd. We didn't get the same surge of people claiming to be accepted on SDN. When the first 20 went out we had 7 people on SDN say so. How did they let out 20 more and just 1 person here got it?
Also, how the heck did they get their deposits in so quick, it took them over a week to acknowledge my deposit (even after the 3 days it to took me to find my damn checkbook, write a check, find a stamp, and mail it in). These are all very complicated tasks apparently given my filing system (insert t-shirt, folders, snacks and alarm clock into the same pile).
If they do have 40 acceptances, and everyone accepted, that's great for the school. Its a good sign, and hopefully they'll send out a ranked WL soon too. Giving out all the acceptances implies they've scored everyone.
I don't understand this at all. They've already decided on the 40 and are waiting until May 15 to see how many decline then. So why not start handing out alternate list spots or waitlist spots are whatever they want to call them? Even if they give them to everyone who has interviewed, I think people would still want SOME response to let them know that the admissions committee hasn't completely forgotten about them.

you're absolutely right. although the news really sucks, thanks for telling us and i'm sure no one blames the messenger. now we can stop refreshing this forum page and just stick to stalking our inboxes.
Yeah, it's strange that only 1/20 newly accepted people posted on SDN. Maybe they are telling us these things so we calm down a little
...When the first batch of acceptances went out, we all assumed that there were 20 at that point, whilst in reality, it could have been 30 or even 35...
I called today. I asked if all acceptances had been sent out and was told that this could not be confirmed or denied because he did not know. There was nothing to read in to it (in case I am not describing the conversation clearly). He simply did not or could not share that information over the phone. He reiterated the mantra, so familiar to us all, "anytime between now and July."Yea a lot of this just doesn't make sense but then again we probably don't have all the info. Has anyone else called in the last 2 days?
maybe today is the day we will hear something....? it is a friday after all
indeed it is...
