parentibe1 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Yep, I'm sending in the deposit too. Hofstra's definitely in my top two it's just so hard to know how to pick a school! Such a big decision. I'm from the Philadelphia area! How about you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adjk1229 Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 I'm from upstate NY. Hofstra seemed like a great place to go, it would just be nice to be closer to home but like I tell my family... beggars can't be choosers... Haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disapo11 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Im actually from the philadelphia area also (yardley), living in Israel now, and moving to long island at the end of the year. Parentibe1, what other school and you thinking of? I totally know what you mean... it's a huge decision! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adjk1229 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Living in Israel? That must be quite an experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tme12 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 i was accepted as well! i am having a hard time deciding between hofstra and bridgeport. hofstra has a track record, whereas bridgeport does not, as its a brand new program. but bridgeport is logitically much easier for me. i wouldnt have to move. any thoughts?

disapo11 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 ya it is! have been here the past 3 and half years... I would love to talk to some current students and see what there experience has been like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parentibe1 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 A friend of mine just put me in touch with a PA student at Hofstra. I just shot her an email with loads of questions. I'll be sure to pass along what she shares! :) Disapo11, I'm waiting to hear back from PCOM. But even if I get in there I'm not sure what I would do. I really loved Hofstra's program! And tme12, from talking to current PA's they've assured me that as long as a program is accredited you should be ok. A more established program might have better clinical sights, contacts, PANCE scores and such. Do you guys know when Hofstra's program actually starts?

adjk1229 Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 That's a great idea!! I can't wait to see what they say! Honestly I think that's one of the downsides of Hofstra, they don't give you a heck of a lot of information... It seems like they want you in and your deposit before they tell you anything, top secret! Lol but Nope I haven't found anything on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disapo11 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I cant wait to hear what they say! I have a million questions about the school... please keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adjk1229 Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 I'm not sure if this was one of your questions or if anything might have heard or asked this before, but do they use cadavers for anatomy? And if so, do we get our own or do we get med student hand-me-downs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disapo11 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 they said no cadavers... I want to know about there schedule day to day, tests, teaching styles...etc... and how they are enjoying it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adjk1229 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 That's a bummer, I was hoping they had cadavers. I really liked that about other programs, but so far Hofstra is the only place I've been accepted (not complaining at all) haha just thought it'd be a great experience to learn on the real thing...

danny789 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I have an interview in one week and was wondering if anybody can tell me anything about the interview/ interview process, or questions they ask. This will be my first interview. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adjk1229 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Well theres no writing portion and they ask basic questions such as why PA and your experiences in health care. They wanted to know about your feelings on an underserved area and one of the hardest situations you've been in. Pretty laid back and the two girls I had were really easy to talk to. Good luck!
