They don’t publish on MSAR so I didn’t think anyone knows for sure but anecdotally I know a few people there who were originally waitlisted
Thank you! Do you think the "374 accepted" includes those accepted off the waitlist?
+1
Scary thing is there seems to be a lot of 1st tier wait-lists lol. We can't all get in 🙁
I'm sure a lot of people just don't post it, keep your head up!
Thank you for the response haha! I honestly would LOVE to go to Hofstra but I'm only 2nd tier WL so I don't have nearly as big of a shot as those on 1st tier. Certainly will be expressing as much interest in them as possible though 🙂!!
Maybe the FA will pull through and you won’t have to withdraw if you really like Hofstra lol! Glad to know I’m not the only one in this boat though 🙂
If you submitted the required information to them and filled out the institutional app (as described in Financial Aid email), they will get back to you. They have been sending estimates over the past month.
honestly, i am trying to figure it out, they mention it's like a post-bacc that will "guarantee" a seat into next year's class
thank you 🙂
Aside from the timing and the binding nature of an acceptance, it's not any different than a typical application cycle, i.e. you need to go through the same secondary, interview and waiting process as everyone in the current cycle.
sort of, like they told me i would do a post-bacc and then start medical school.
Huh, interesting. Ignore me then, my idea of linking is you do a two year program for the pre-med prerequs and then basically apply normally. This sounds like something else even though it uses the same name. Congrats!
Are you on WL?
10000% I agree! Some of the questions that got asked were a little bit over the top in eagerness (just incase anyone is curious someone asked about prematriculation stuff even tho we were all WL people), especially since there were 100+ people in the call. With 99 seats to fill Zucker is definitely a reach for most people!
yeah, but i guess if i accept the offer and go through the post bacc, then no i wouldn't
I could be off, but based off of what they said yesterday, to me it seems the tiers are more of a courtesy to the student in terms of Hofstra indicating how much interest they have in a student. It gives you a very broad idea of where on the waitlist you might fall, but given that they said they don't necessarily have to get through the 1st tier waitlist to accept somebody from the 2nd tier, it sounds like the tiers don't mean anything internally.
Honestly it seems like a lot of schools take liberties with what they do with their waitlists especially if there are different levels or tiers in this case. You could certainly be right about it, and based off the size of the participants the other day in the WL session it doesn’t seem like their WL is huge at all! I would definitely believe that they have some sort of way they rank people for the WL and I would actually assume it’s mostly stats/activity based since they have such high standards for who they want.
For sure, the lack of clear information outside of, "hey, at least your application is still alive!" is super frustrating but yeah wishing for the best is the way to go 🙂
Oh I thought the waitlist was huge when I saw the amount of ppl present. Like it’s more than their actual class, do they normally have a lot of movement ?
No idea about Hofstra's movement, but from the data I've seen (it's available somewhere online, don't remember exactly where but a lot of schools publicly report their waitlist sizes and accepetances, Hofstra is not one unfortunately) There's a 1 - 2 waitlist to class size ratio. So for example, for a class size of 200, they may have somewhere between 200 - 400 people on the waitlist
Oh dang I didn’t know that, thank you for sharing !
