For my friends on the WL, I asked admissions about the interest survey and how it plays out. They reminded me that it is optional, and that if you are really interested in Hofstra that you should send a letter of intent, sooner the better. She basically told me that they treat the letter as a strong interest letter bc they know it's non-binding and FinAid offers play a huge role in where students end up committing too. Hope this helps and sending love to all the WLed homies

I checked the my hofstra portal and I saw I had an email from the financial aid office, and then I checked that section of the portal and then clicked award (or I think also you can click "award summary by aid year"). It was a little confusing but I could see my scholarship.

Edit: also the email came it at 12:30pm according to that section which is funny because I checked it not even an hour later.

Edit #2: it's also an email to your hofstra email so at least for me I didn't get an email about it to my regular email.

Thank you for the info! I haven’t gotten an email yet, so I wonder if they are releasing it throughout the day
 
I got my financial aid package. Looking to live on campus, does anyone know how much on campus housing cost for med students?

When I went to the visit day, many students told me that no medical student has ever lived in on-campus housing since the medical school opened. This is because the price is the same or a bit-less as off-campus housing and the graduate housing is super super “dormy.”

I see! Thank you. Any word on where people usually live? In Houses or any apartments near by. Sorry, not familiar with the neighborhood and can’t find much about it

There's houses around the neighborhood that a lot of students in the past have split, and renting an entire house is usually cheaper than an apartment (can be like ~800/mo/person). In terms of apartment complexes, there are "luxury" apartments like the Avalon Westbury (which is actually within biking distance from the school), the Moderna Mineola, and Metro 303, which are pricier, but splitting a 3bd/2ba with 2 roommates makes it more affordable to the tune of like ~1200/mo. There's also an apartment complex at 115 atlantic ave in Hempstead which a lot of students have lived in the past, which is not as "high end" as the others but more affordable.
 
For the interest survey, did people basically fill out like essay style responses when checking off the boxes (financial, curriculum, location, etc.)? I don't know what they want lol
