I am also only seeing December
Did anyone have their interview already? How did it go?
Yes! it went well and was very relaxed. Everyone is super nice, and the MMI was straightforward. 🙂
can you say how many rounds the MMI was?
Any tips?
ooh last question lmao - are you allowed to take notes during the 2 minutes thinking time for the MMI?
I think there were 9 stations, with one being a rest station. The stations were 8 minutes each (2 minutes to read the question/think and 6 minutes to discuss). One station is twice as long (16 minutes) and is more traditional-style.
For the comment below about tips, maybe do a mock MMI so you are used to formulating an answer within the time limit. Other than that, don't stress! They were typical MMI questions, with none of them being stumpers. Good luck to all! You've got this 🙂

for people who completed, are you sending thank you notes at all? I'm not sure if the expectations for MMIs is different.
I personally didn't

LM 68.8 / WARS 81 / 4Q Casp3r / In-state / URM
Mythical 4Q Casper score. Congrats!!!
Congrats! When was the earliest interview date?
Earliest I saw was Jan 4th!!
Just wanted to calm some nerves for future interviewees -- I finished interviewing recently and this was my 5th MMI circuit. This definitely ranked first. It was the easiest and most fun MMI and I believe that every school should model their questions after them. Very straightforward and you should look forward to interviewing here instead of fearing it!
Seconded, it was my first and only MMI thus far but was very easygoing and I was able to make great conversation with my interviewers despite the little time we had together.
I'm not sure if I am reading this right, but did you apply to 74 schools?!?!!?! HOW? So much writing....

Thirded! I was blown away by Hofstra as a whole and the MMI even made me think I'd like MMI's until I did them at another school lol.
Agreed, and ironically this was the most "conversational" MMI. Instead of the generic follow-up MMI questions that a school usually asks somebody, they specifically tailor their follow-up questions to your responses. They critically think about what you said instead of directly reading a piece of paper telling them the next question to ask. Don't anticipate, just let the conversation flow
I began early July and finished the very last in September. I work full time so it's not like I did it all in a short period of time. Spreading out and prioritizing quality despite the quantity has proven dividends in my success so far!

I just addressed mine to the whole admissions team
Does anyone remember when they said they'd start getting back to us with decisions post-II? I feel like it was December but did they say anything more specifically?
I wanna say that it starts December 10th but I could be making that up. Can’t remember for sure
Interviewed yesterday and they said they start rolling them out in December (around the holidays) and go up to March
Didn’t give us a specific day in December tho

any chance for thanksgiving time decision release???
II received 11/4. Complete 7/6. OOS. Love this school and hoping for the best!
Congrats!! when was the earliest interview date?
Most dates seemed to be in Jan. I was lucky to get a much earlier slot, my guess is a vacancy opened up/last minute reschedule.
Rolling decisions starting December before Christmas till ~May

Complete 9/14, II 11/28, and my MCAT is farrrr below the median. Like below 515 far. Hofstra is my first choice though, so God may have put His hand in this fr. Does anyone have any advice on how to get the acceptance at this point beyond acing the interview and submitting an LOI?
When do decisions get released?
Congrats !!! Thanks for the info. I completed secondary in September also.

I am in the same boat as you now, and I am just worried because I feel like on here and reddit I have seen so much about people getting an II--> asking for feedback from school as to why they got denied post II --> and then the school said if was because of low GPA or MCAT or whatever. So just curious to see what will happen
I hope we both make it and our personalities show through more than a number ever will. Of course, that's wishful thinking, the MCAT score does matter. The 519 accepted MCAT median is nothing to sneeze at. There's nothing we can do besides put our best foot forward. Good luck on the interview!
