Timeline for future applicants:

• Hofstra received my application 6/14/2018.
• Did not hear back from them until 1/18/2019 that they are starting to review my cohort of applications and all spots have been filled, but were still conducting interview for a spot on the waitlist. Asked if I was still interested.
• Got another email 4/17/2019 stating that they still have not reviewed my application and was wondering if I was still interested. 
• Received interview invitation 5/7/2019 for 5/13/2019, which I declined.

I was quite disappointed to have paid an application fee only to find out that they would not have reviewed my application for ~10 months and spots were filled up. Also upset at the fact where they asked me twice if I was still interested. If I was not interested anymore, they would have disregarded my application and kept the money.

**TIP: If Hofstra is one of your top schools, APPLY EARLY!

Hey! I received an email this cycle that they received my application on 6/17. Does this mean that essentially only those that get that email in May are the ones they review and offer interviews for? Because applying in June is still considered early for most programs. Just don't want to create expectations to hear back soon and have that not be the case. Thanks in advance!

I also received an interview offer for the waiting list on 5/8/19 for 5/13/19, which I declined because they said if I were to be accepted from the waiting list I would need to retake my a&p 1&2 classes but I wouldn’t have time to retake those courses before the program starts.
