jenimc Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I just got an interview invite for Dec 3. Yay! Has anyone interviewed at this school yet? Also, if any Hofstra students are reading this and would like to tell me what they like/dislike about the school and why they chose it, I would really appreciate it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centosan Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Hey jen, may I ask whether you ever did the supplemental? Seems like some people have gotten invites without even doing it. And how long did it take them to get back to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenimc Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Centosan, yes, I did the supplemental. I received it Aug 22. I don't remember exactly what date I sent it in but it was probably around a month ago, mid september-ish. So three, four weeks? I don't remember paying for Hofstra's secondary, so maybe they don't always send it out. If they have applicants they definitely want they may just invite them to interview without a secondary.

PANY123 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hey to whoever did get the supplemental application- did you guys answer those two questions with a full essay or just a paragraph? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLStoPA Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 PANY123, I responded with two decent sized paragraphs to each question. Hope that help, but I'm sure you're done with it by now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keferraro Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I also got the same two emails (one in August and one in October) saying my application is under review. Anyone have any ideas as to why this may be the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAhockey11 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Hello, My first post on these forums. Just got my acceptance e-mail today and very excited to have been given the chance by Hofstra University. I'm leaning towards Hofstra at the moment but haven't made my decision quite yet. Anyone else get a response back from Hofstra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA0920 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 This is my first post as well, but I also received an acceptance yesterday. I am super excirted and I am pretty confident that I will be attending their program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenimc Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 PA0920, how was the interview process? I spoke to some students at another school and got mixed reviews. Some people had a really bad experience and said that the interviewers were mean/a little nasty, while for others it was fine. I guess it depends on the interviewer? Was it very formal or more conversational? Were there any oddball questions? Thanks. I have my interview Dec 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it very formal or more conversational? Were there any oddball questions? Thanks. I have my interview Dec 3rd. I can give you my experience. The day was split up with a Tour at the beginning, a Q/A session with the director while you're waiting to be called in for your interview. I had 2 people interviewing me. For the most part it felt pretty casual. The questions I had felt pretty straightforward, no major curve-balls or trick questions. Just be yourself show your serious about becoming a physician assistant and your willing to put in the effort. I felt like the interview was a chance for Hofstra to get to know me a bit more but it was also a chance for me to learn about them and whether they could get me where I want to go. I'd suggest looking over your supplemental application answers once again if you can. Make sure you have some questions to ask. Just be yourself and have confidence in your abilities. I hope that helps and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA0920 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 My one on one interview was very formal. To be honest I didn't get a feel for my interviewers at all, they were hard to read. They just continually went through their list of questions (rapid fire) and it wasn't very conversational. My only guess is that they were trying to see how fast I could react under pressure and give good solid answers. Half of the questions they asked were situational and the other half were about my own personal experiences and why I want to be a PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBarbaccia Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hi, I submitted my CASPA in July and received an e-mail mid-October that they received my application. I have not heard from them since. I called yesterday and left a message but they have not yet returned my call. If anyone else happens to get in touch with them, please let us know! Good luck!

CBarbaccia Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 They called me back - she said they cannot discuss the status of my application over the phone for security reasons but they are still reviewing applications so I should hear within the next few weeks...

MLStoPA Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 I got an email in July saying they received my application and to send in the supplemental, so I did. And I got another right away saying I will be contacted after my application is reviewed and I still haven't heard anything from them! I emailed about a week ago saying that I still haven't heard after I sent my supplemental app and still haven't heard back from them. I'm just getting anxious!

PAhockey11 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 From what I understood that October 26th interview session was the first group of candidates they were interviewing in case you wanted to know the time frame. I just mailed my tuition deposit today so hello any future Hofstra classmates out there :) . Good luck to everyone else applying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenimc Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I interveiwed on Dec 3 and found out I was accepted on 12/10...they got back to me in a week, which is extremely fast. I'm so happy to have an acceptance! I have two more interviews so I'm not sure if I will be attending Hofstra, but I loved the school and the people there, so I would be thrilled to attend. Congratulations to everyone else that was accepted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
