[probablygonnagoSMP]

I was complete in July, got VITA last week, and II just now.

That being said, they likely do not go through the APPs in purely chronological order so I would bet you still have a good chance.

VITA yesterday, II today! Complete 09/09

Edit: Earliest date available was 12/16

 

[TriWinning]

seems like hofstra is almost done booking interviews sadly

based on?

 

[Mcath8er]

they are booking for mid december and they stop interviewing in jan

I don't really think that means it's over. Because of interviews being online this year people are probably accepting all their IIs. Probably after Oct 15 when A's are released more spots will open up.

sorry if this is a dumb question, but why will acceptances on Oct 15 help open up spots?

If people get into a school they'd prefer over a school where they still have an interview, chances are that they'll reject their interviews since they've already been accepted somewhere. And then those interview spots will go to other applicants.

the assumption being made is some applicants will receive acceptances and withdraw themselves from interviews they have received elsewhere

That's definitely my plan!

 

[deleted1054719]

That's definitely my plan!

Ditto! Good luck to everyone here interviewing for ZSOM! I interviewed a while ago and the school is fantastic

 

[eartharte]

That's definitely my plan!

12 interviews... my god share your secrets

 

[probablygonnagoSMP]

They are inteviewing into feburary according to their website/email

Hofstra doesn't release any decisions until mid-Dec sadly :/

 

[Martin van Nostrand]

Does anyone know if the school prefers that we upload Thank You notes to AMP, or emailing them directly to our interviewers, or email them to the admission office?

I certainly hope people will be kind enough to do this! 🙂

They said during my interview the preference was the portal

VITA invite today, LM 76, OOS no ties, complete 8/5

 

[back2skewl]

Does anyone know if Hofstra will begin sending acceptances Oct 15th?

 

[sweetpotater]

Has any MD-PhD applicant here had their interview day yet? Just curious what the form of the individual interviews are with selected faculty -- assuming its a combo of traditional and specifics on why I liked their research. Not stressed, just curious. Thanks for any input!

 

[deleted1054719]

Does anyone know if Hofstra will begin sending acceptances Oct 15th?

No. First As will be December

 

[citymedhopeful]

Can any current students speak to any very cool standout programs or pros of attending Hofstra that they couldn't find anywhere else? The website seems a bit bare bones but I want to learn more about the what made you choose it over other places?

 

[lopsidedegg]

Also got the VITA invite today (complete 8/12). If I already did VITA, do I have to do anything now?

Nope! The II came in the next day for me, so it's coming soon for you!!

 

[GrayArea]

Vita invite today, complete 9/26.

But I still have to wait until HireVue send me the email with the link right? And I get two weeks from the time that I get the actual link emailed to me?

I have not done a VITA yet. Were the questions asked tricky? Or were they typical interview questions such as "why medicine, describe a challenge,etc"?

[Persaudirabia]

VITA invite on 10/20, complete 8/14, IS, LM 75, WDARS C, ORM I think

 

[2.9GPA]

When I scheduled my interview yesterday, they were up to mid January, so with all these II going out, it definitely looks like their interview season is going to be way longer than usual.

or they've sent out the majority of their IIs

 

[2.9GPA]

I think last year they were still sending IIs IN January

For those of you who have had/are having interviews: were you stuck in the waiting room for awhile past your designated check-in time?

Yes but only a few min

AAMC VITA invite! Does that count as a II?? 🙂

I'm pretty sure it does!! Congrats 🙂

 

[eelsauce]

Does anyone know if they actually reviewed the VITA before sending for an interview invite? Trying to gauge how bad I had done on it.

Not likely. I got II after 15 mins of completing VITA. So have many others.

 

[GrayArea]

Hey so we have 2 weeks to complete the vita from when we got the HireVue link right? Got the invitation a week ago but haven't been able to do it because of other interviews this week. But I'm planning on doing it this weekend. I should be ok, right?

 

[applicant20]

Do they accept pre-II updates?
