I emailed about this and was sent a form to complete and send back.
Anyone from the late September interview club hearing anything yet?
I dont think anyone has heard anything post II
I was told earliest decisions will go out December at my interview but I don't think they specified when exactly.
Heard the same thing. They said Nov/Dec at my interview. Hopefully that implies *early* Dec
damn

Hey guys,
Current Hofstra medical student here. I'm involved in the admissions process here and just wanted to respond to some of you who have felt like there were some tough interviewers. I want to reassure everyone that as interviewers, we all get a set of suggested questions and the same instructions. The goal is just to get a better sense of who you are beyond what's on your application. We're definitely not instructed to grill anyone or to throw you off your game-- I promise that is not Hofstra's way at all! That said, all the interviewers are individuals and have their own style, so your experience with the two interviewers may vary; that's unplanned and hard to avoid, but the admissions committee is aware of it and does take that into consideration.
Best of luck to everyone this cycle!

So since you’re privy to the process here... what significance does it have if we have yet to be rejected and yet have not heard anything since submitting in July?
Signed up for an account so I could ask this. Any female interviewing on Dec. 1 and want to split costs for a place to stay and maybe transportation? Lodging is super expensive in the area and trying to make attending this interview a little more affordable. PM me if you're interested.
Cant exactly help, but I will endorse the red roof inn. Quality hotel. 100$ a night. the cheapest i could find.
Yeah, that was the one I was looking at. But figured if there happened to be someone out there to split the cost, it'd be even better! 😉
What was your experience with the interview and impression of the school?
ooh - wish you were going just a week or two later. I’ll be there Dec 11 in case anyone (female) wants to split a room the night before. I am planning to stay with a friend who is a resident, but he has kids and it might be easier on him if I split a room with someone.

Actually wish I were going Dec. 11. That date would work so much better for me! Was difficult to convince my boss to let me off those 2 days next week, since we're really busy at work. Monday's are our least busy days and then I'd only miss 1 day of work.
Plus, I've seen you a lot on SDN and think it'd be interesting to meet you. Good luck with the interview! Seems like you've been doing well this cycle.
I almost went Dec 1, but I had a two finals right after and thought better of it. I would loved to have met you! Let me know how it goes - I hope you have a great interview!!

Anyone know the post interview acceptance rate?
8
878956
I think it is around 35 to 40%
do these rates include WL or just straight up?
nothing since july
Has anyone heard back yet post-II?
No they release their decisions at one time somewhere around mid December

I am guessing a big single release and then fewer decisions as the cycle goes on.
haven't heard from 90% of my schools that i submitted several months ago

That would have to be the case since they offer interviews until February.
Just got an II this morning and I've been complete since early July so there's still hope if you haven't heard anything in forever!
Is there a dinner the night before the interview? I’m assuming not, but wanted to check just in case!

I don’t reckon so!
(My interview is tmrw and I’m not planning on any dinners so I hope not lol)
No there isnt
Sorry to hear about all the rejections 🙁
This is a super long shot, but I was wondering if anyone who is interviewing on Dec 15th, 18th, 19th, or 21st would be willing to switch spots with me. I'm currently scheduled to interview on Dec 20th, but I can't actually do that date (it was one of the two dates available, and I can't do the other one either, so I just put my name down for this one temporarily per the admissions office's suggestion). I'm from the West Coast and am going to be in New York for winter break, and am really trying to cut down on travelling costs by scheduling interviews during this period
If anyone is willing to switch, I would be so so grateful

II today, complete in July. Declining though!
I would not do that because it may come off as "desperate." I sent a combined letter of interest/update letter after I was put on the waitlist in March and then was ultimately accepted here in June.

So they’ve said their first round of decisions come in mid-December so I think I speak for everyone when I say IS IT MID DECEMBER YET?
Still sitting in silence :/
Us MS1s and MS2s have exams this week. Maybe they're holding off until we finish to release decisions. Be patient, and good luck!
Bless you for still being on SDN with us neurotic prospies while you've got exams.
