The school is kinda awkwardly situated in Long Island. There isn't a tonne to do here, but we are 40 minutes from Manhattan. I'd say we go into the city a lot. And as you can imagine, anything you can think of doing is available in Manhattan. There are a couple of bars that we frequent in the area, but that is mostly for a chill night out. Other than nightlife, the students here are pretty outdoorsy. We'll play sports on campus, go hiking and rafting etc. I can honestly say it's never boring here. You can find something to do pretty easily.Thank you so much for your response. I got a really good vibe about PEARLS when I was watching over some of the curriculum videos, for example Structure Lab seems super interesting. Anyways, outside of schooling do you have a large range of activities you can do in the area? Nightlife, extra curriculars, sports, etc?
Apologies if this has been discussed already, but has anyone with an II received confirmation of a guest host? I have friends in NYC I could stay with but I'd prefer to be in LI on Thursday night so I don't have to stress about making it to the interview on time in the morning. I did specify that I was interested in having a student host, I just haven't heard anything back about it.

JFK. Take the Airtrain from JFK to Jamaica to transfer to the LIRR train. Take the LIRR to Hempstead, and from there take a cab to the med school. You can also take a bus (it's about 30 minutes away) or wait for the Hofstra shuttle (free).
The area's not well lit (typical Long Island), so it can be sort of scary if you fly in too dark.
You da best @umbrellaapp. Just to confirm, the Hofstra shuttle picks up from JFK, not Hempstead?
Thanks!

I haven't heard any information at all about student hosting at Hofstra. Is there a separate email I should be receiving, or do I need to just email admissions and ask about it? If it matters, my interview isn't until November.Current student here. They're working on setting up the arrangements for all the October interviewees that requested a student host, so you guys should get an e-mail as soon as it is arranged.
We provide the list for student's to sign up to host one month at a time. The October list has been released, and the school has contacted those individuals who have a host. The November list has not been released to the students yet, that's why you have not heard anything.
Was it the email about them working on finding hosts for everyone but that there's a shortage? I'm kind of worried I need to make alternate arrangements for my stay.
I was complete in early July and haven't heard a thing 🙁does Hofstra send out post-secondary rejections or are they silent on that front? I was complete early august so Im being a little impatient... 🙂
II this morning, OOS LizzyM 75+ and submitted 8/12. The only dates I saw were in late January and beyond.
II this evening!! IS LizzyM 71+, submited 08/25. As ashton said, only open dates were late January onwards. Looking forward to interviewing!
Congratulations! When were you guys complete?
Wow that is good to hear! I submitted mine on Sept 3rd so hopefully I hear back soon.I was complete the same day I submitted secondaries, 8/25
Getting a very strong vibe that Hofstra doesn't go by secondary submission date but by MCAT scores. All my friends with high MCATs have gotten interviews, all the ppl on SDN who have gotten interviews have Lizzy Ms 71+, even those who submitted a month after me and have lower GPAs! Although my friend with a 31 (10,11,10) did get an interview. Is my 9 on verbal holding them off? (11,9,11).

I was complete 7/23 with a 38 MCAT and haven't heard anything from them so I doubt the mcat is the sole factor in that regard.
Literally was about to post the exact same thing. Complete 7/18ish with a 38 and haven't heard a peep.I was complete 7/23 with a 38 MCAT and haven't heard anything from them so I doubt the mcat is the sole factor in that regard.
With an MCAT of 32 I was one of the first to get an II.

Does it not end in February?They're booking their interviews ridiculously far out. Holy crap.
When I spoke to an adcom member over the phone, he said they have a shortage of faculty interviewers, hence the interview spots filling up rather quickly.They're booking their interviews ridiculously far out. Holy crap.

No sense in stressing yourself out overthinking this stuff. It'll happen when it happens, if it does. For what it's worth, I was complete in early August with 3.7/36 and haven't heard a peep. Will let you know if I do though!
I am starting to feel the disadvantage of applying OOS to Hofstra though.
I believe they do, however in their II email they do stateon the website it says inteview invites are until march -- not sure if that means they continue to extend invites that long or if that's just the latest date. with february and march already filling up in early september, i'd imagine it's the latter.
does anyone know if they do rolling admissions? it's difficult to find on their website
