sorry to be a downer....but has anyone been rejected post-interview yet?
2011-2012 Hofstra Application Thread

I haven't heard anything back from them (interviewed in Nov.). According to last year's thread, people started getting wailist/rejection letters in mid-March.
I think there's a lot of people on the uc list. Kinda sad they have a wait list for a wait list (in essence)...
For anyone interested someone made a facebook group for the class of 2016
https://www.facebook.com/groups/315211971861794/

Why is it not an open group? Is this how other groups are also?
I don't know, I didn't make it. I had to request to join and then was added to it.
Yes, all groups are like this.
Those who have been accepted, please join (via request) the facebook group. One question that i think most of us who are sure/pretty-sure about going to Hofstra is whether to live in dorm (yuck) or in apartments.
and if so... where? Chime in guys.
I definitely think I would prefer to get an apartment rather than dorm, what I heard from the students during my interview is that is the better option and there are a lot of towns close by that are only a short commute away.

Rejected. Interviewed in October. Oh well, a unique school but I don't think it would have been a good fit. Also, a lot of driving required. Nonetheless, good luck everyone waiting.

Hey, another reject party I'm involved with. Not as inclusive and big as the Columbia Reject party, but still a party.
Rejected today as well, Interviewed less than two weeks ago.
Basically, It seems that they are starting to weed out their possibilities and with just 60 seats, we all knew it was going to be difficult to get in.

rejected..interview early december..#1 choice since the school opened and my only interview..
RRRREJECTED yesterday. Post interview (October). Not all that upset as I later realized the location probably wasn't the best fit.
Looking back, I probably shouldn't have spent the money on the interview. Flight, hotel, cabs, and food were all very expensive. And the acceptance rate just isn't all that great. Oh well, it was a nice experience and I got some great NY pizza.

I also would like to know. I'm currently in the "have heard nothing since my interview in November" category. Anyone else with me? I'm hoping it's a good sign since I didn't get the ax yesterday, but who knows....

I'm a little frustrated that this trip cost as much as it did (this was about my most expensive and didn't even include a flight) when they interview so many applicants for so few spots. It's a nice school and probably in 10 years will have built up quite a good reputation but it wasn't a good fit.

Rejected as well post interview, getting rejected after interviewing makes you feel shi**. but 800 interviews for 60 seats, I was using it as an excuse to visit NY.
My interviewer was a weirdo though, 80 year old radiologist who asked me strange interview questions (Define Triage) and had some senior moments in the middle of the interview. School did seem to have its stuff together though, we'll see how it pans out in 3 years when their first class graduates.

I think this is the most motivated staff I have seen. They seemed like they are really committed to becoming a top medical school. I believe that Hofstra will have an excellent reputation in the coming 5-10 years. I also think they will have some great residency placements, particularly within the LIJ system. It's just going to be extra hard to get in until they increase their number of seats.
Just got accepted for 2012 class. First choice. Will be attending this fall
Did you find out by email? Also when did you interview? thanks
and congrats!

Does Hofstra give out Merit money? If so, when? Just got Penn acceptance, if Hofstra is no cheaper, heck, I'll go to Penn.

Really... for a school that is trying to make a name for itself, the sound coming from them is DEAFENING. Knock knock... you there Hofstra ?
Published tuition at Hofstra is already cheaper than at Penn, then Hofstra also gives an additional $5000/yr for any admitted students because it is the second class. I don't know of any other merit aid, though.
