ACCEPTED!!! Congratulations to everyone who heard back today 🙂
Which week in Nov?
First week
+1 MD/PhD acceptance! So excited 😀
So it seems the turn around time post interview is roughly 2 months for most. This is going to be a long wait...
Early December
Congrats! Do you mind sharing your stats?

Did anyone else whos been accepted have their portal change? Mine used to have like 10 things listed for things to do before orientation and now there are only 2.
OOS, LM ~74
There are only 2 more interview days left (and they are next week). So I'd say probably not.
I don't know if you could possibly do this, but I was wondering if you had any knowledge / could figure out when we should hopefully expect movement if we're on the 1st-tier waitlist. I really like this school, and it's frustrating not having more information on the whole tier system.
I think I mentioned before that I'm new to the tiered WL system, as I believe everyone who wasn't accepted outright last year was placed on the WL in March. If I were to guess, the most movement will probably be after traffic day, whenever that is this year. As for WL movement, I think it's generally decent as a good number of my classmates were accepted from the WL. Again, I can only to speak to my experiences from last year's cycle and cannot give more information regarding the tier. Good luck!
Agreed on the same vote, but nevertheless still feeling good about the cycle!
i interviewed mdphd and looks like most mdphd people have heard back (at least acceptances) they said they’d be out mid january but i havent heard anything. anyone have any thoughts?
Same - 1st tier waitlist - interviewed in Oct - got an email on Jan 12th
Probably shouldn't expect movement until May 1
Just got accepted! Very excited! Interviewed mid december, LyzzM ~71
Oh wow, they’re fast! That makes me excited and nervous. I was a January interviewee too and I’m waiting to hear back. But huge congrats to you!! 😀

Sorry no- Pre-II. I've just been waiting for the R to hit
Rejection
Just withdrew from my acceptance. Best of luck to y'all still waiting for the acceptance!!
Hi guys! I'm an OOS student, accepted and planning on attending in the fall! I'd like to start figuring out the living situation. Is anyone else in the same boat? Or have any advice on finding roommates/recommendations on location? I apologize in advance if this is the wrong thread for this post. Thanks!
First-tier waitlisted today, LM~68, nontrad, interviewed Dec. 11
I am also interested in learning more about the living situation at Hofstra! I think people live in surrounding towns and find roommates on the fb group but idk anything more than that.
One of my friends from undergrad goes there now, and she lives in a house with 5 other people. It's a really spacious house though - 3 stories! She lives with other Hofstra grad students, though none of them are med students. She said that the whole finding roommates / housing is pretty seamless though! I think older students pass down places as they graduate / leave for rotations. And I'm sure there's more info on it at the Second Look weekend! It also seems like lots of students live in clusters, so that makes it easier too!
1st tier waitlist today. Interviewed mid November.
1st tier WL as well today. Interviewed early Jan. Seems like it’s the first year they’re doing tiered WL
About 30% of our classmates lived in Hofstra dorm 1st year, but everyone moved out by 2nd year. You WILL need a car to live in long island, and by that virtue, nearby apartments work just fine.
If anyone needs a good realtor who can show you apartments to rent in nearby area, shoot me a message. Happy to share info. Unlike downtown Manhattan, price near Hofstra are reasonable (I guess reasonable depends on where you are coming from, but).

Anyone who interviewed in mid-Dec waiting to hear back?
I interviewed late December, still waiting
Later October, still waiting.
I interviewed in mid November. I got the continued consideration email, but havent heard anything since.
Is anyone going to the Second Look weekend and wanna share an AirBnB on Sunday night? My flight doesn't leave until Monday, and I found a great AirBnb for $100/night that has two queen beds. I emailed admissions and they don't have student housing for Sunday night.
Or- alternatively, does anyone live nearby/ in NYC area and would let me crash with them on Sunday night?
