Congrats on the interview! I didn't have the most amazing GPA but I had a lot of work experience in fields in which OT's serve. You will meet with the professors in the program and be split into 2 small groups. The professors will ask you some questions and then switch, so you can meet all of them. They were really nice and it was pretty lowkey. I am a generally nervous person and felt comfortable. There was the basic tell me about yourself, where do you see yourself in the future as an OT. Then there were some morality questions. Then there was an opportunity to meet with everyone and ask questions about the program specifically. I would use this time to really show you did your research about Hofstra's program specifically and ask questions pertaining to it. Then some current students come in and you can ask any additional questions like housing options, etc. It was about 2 1/2 hours long. Good luck!

Hi! Do you mind sharing your stats? I had an interview in early December and was placed on the waitlist. I’m really eager to find out if I’m accepted
 
Major: Psychology
Minor: History
Undergrad GPA: 3.40
Post Undergrad GPA (prerequisites): 4.0
Observation Hours: 25 inpatient rehab, 20 pediatric
Experience: TA for kids with autism 2 years, mental health counselor 2 years, AmeriCorps member 2 years, camp counselor 3 years, captain of undergrad rugby team
 
In the group interview, did they ask the same questions to all the candidates in a group? or was everyone asked a different question?

Hi everyone! Just curious how long prior to the interview you all were notified that they wanted to meet with you? I got an email inviting me to an interview only 2 days prior to the interview date so I’m not sure if that’s the norm for them. Thanks!
 
congrats to those who got in! I emailed about the waitlist and was told they’ll let me know if there are any updates. I got into another school but Hofstra was deff a top school for me
 
Hi! I was accepted to Hofstra can anyone who is currently in the program give me some information and any pros and cons?

Hello! I was wondering if this was a group interview or was it an individual interview?
