It happens... Perhaps it was because they wanted to remind me about updates and when they expect them. I am in an SMP.
For the second question on the secondary..what counts as an interruption? I did my bachelors in 4 yrs and than I worked for a year and than enrolled in a masters program..that's not called an interruption within my education, right. For the third question, what do you all think its asking for? Its kinda vague..
there was a year gap in your education. i would count that as an interruption and use the space to say something beneficial that happened towards your application/experience/knowledge during that time.
There was a year where you were not enrolled in classes. That's an interruption and I'd use the description there to talk about it.
Interruption usually means a stoppage in the main line of education. Like you took a year off during UG. However you can always use it as an opportunity to tell them more about you
Negative. If I did that, I wouldn't get in to medical school! Some applications even say "excluding traffic violations." Obviously if the traffic ticket included an "under the influence" tag or something like that, then you have to list it.
Is anyone else unable to get to the app status portal?
The link they sent to their secondary has been finicky. Solutions have been to either delete the space that appears at the end of the address or delete the "https://" at the beginning.
So questions 2/3 sound pretty much the same if you are a non-trad who went back for a post-bacc?
Just noticed this was at the bottom of the school specific threads... what gives!
Get excited people!
Anyone else visit the campus? Impressions?
I'm excited but there's a been a severe lack of updates...

Quick question, what is the closest airport to Hempstead?
I have never gone to NY before, so I don't know which to choose!
I am thinking JFK, but I don't know!

I frankly do not know when my application entered review.
Interview invitation today, 8/15/12
After you pick your interview date, they have this nifty little page about areas to stay and transportation.
Did you guys get an email for the interview invite, or did you just check your status?
Received an email.
OOS invite! secondary submitted 7/15. I signed up for the 10/3 interview date.
Congrats to everyone who got interviews!! Hope I see some of you down the road.
It's funny because earlier today I was wondering whatever happened to Hofstra, and then BAM! Explosion of interview invites. Love it. Welcome to the party Hofstra!

complete 7/10 nothing yet
Don't worry, this process takes a year for a reason. Not everyone can get an acceptance in October. Besides, no seats have been taken yet. Just wait and you will get some interview invites soon.
Thanks guys, and congrats! 🙂
I'm getting all nervous I was stupid to not retake the MCAT and apply late with my sub-30 MCAT with everyone around here receiving interviews. Maybe I should take a break from SDN haha.
