2023-2024 Hofstra

[sparky21]

Does anybody know what the mini skills session is?

It’s super relaxed, they basically give a case like they would be presented in class and you as a small group just kind of pitch your ideas and it’s facilitated by one of the med students. They specifically say it’s not part of your evaluation at all just a way for you to get a feel of their curriculum

Hey y’all, my interview is in a couple days. The application portal and emails say that phones, tablets, and safari are not supported, but I actually don’t have a laptop. I’ve been using my iPad for all my interviews with no issues so far, and i’m thinking that if I use Google Chrome on my iPad Pro I shouldn’t have any issues - anyone know anything about this?

Your best bet is probably to reach out to them and let them know of your situation and see what they say

Anyone think it's bad to only write a thank you to one person (the traditional interviewer)? I don't know if the other ones can see eachothers' since we are supposed to upload it to the portal

this is what my advisor recommended. I sent one to the trad interviewer and a general thank you to the adcom

 

[Lemonlime109]

does anyone know when they're scheduling interviews to? I'm OOS with strong ties to NY and trying to figure out if it's worth sending an update in the next week

The last interview date of the season is 1/26

 

[6'0 OGFLYERCI]

I saw dates into February. Pretty sure this is wrong

I'll check for you right now
Edit: the only date I saw, besides my scheduled date, is 1/12 am.

 

[Lemonlime109]

Was told that it was 1/26 by the office of admissions

 

[6'0 OGFLYERCI]

Was told that it was 1/26 by the office of admissions

Ahhh you are most likely right then. I really thought I saw February dates

I saw dates in February as well when I signed up.

Wait, how did you see that there’s one for 1/12?? I would love to interview sooner cuz I’m scheduled for 1/17 even if it’s only 5 days sooner!

anyone know how they release decisions need to mentally prepare myself

Sorry I might've missed this, but I have my interview tomorrow and I thought it was an MMI circuit? Is there also a traditional interview?

one station in the MMI is a longer traditional interview

I was an early November interview and I'm not sure if I'll be in this batch or January, so I'll just be nervously checking my email.

Like Sparky21 said they have a traditional interview station that lasts around 15 minutes! If you look at the stuff they link in the interview section on the portal it might say there but if you google stuff about ZuckerSOM interview they have plenty on their website about it!

 

[sparky21]

Looks like mass pre II R's went out last year on 12/16 (so probably tomorrow this year).

As far as A's, I think 12/20 was first day last year so I'm guessing 12/19 this year (the Monday after classes end). Looks like they came out around 8:50am by email and that you accepted via portal so I assume there were changes in portal too.

So, I'm expecting a round of pre-II R's tomorrow, and a round of A's on Monday.

Good luck to all!!!!!

well I guess I’ll be avoiding my email all morning 😅

Good luck to all!!!!!

12/19 is Tuesday and 12/20/23 was a Tuesday (I'll still be checking my email neurotically Monday as well though)
keeping my fingers crossed for everyone!!!!!! see you on the other side 🫡

 

[purdey]

Why? Looks like you are doing amazing! 4 A's already, no WL and no post II R's. You got this!

sparky on 🔥

Thank you, just saw it! What did you all think of the Hofstra MMI?

 

[Pre-Med-PCT]

Thank you, just saw it! What did you all think of the Hofstra MMI?

I haven’t done mine yet! I’m scheduled for January 17th which was the earliest date I could

 

[theofficialnumber13]

Are we expecting that they'll release post-II Rs / WLs next week as well? Or only As? 11/10 interviewer here trying not to freak out lolll

 

[theofficialnumber13]

I think only A's were reported last year and Pre-II R's the Friday before A's.

Oh. Don't see any Pre-II Rs today though so does that mean it might not be Tuesday for the As?

 

[Guggenburg]

[sugar_n_splice]

OOS A, interviewed 10/20 and sent an update 12/11 (not sure if it helped but wanted to note that)

 

[Reanox24]

OOS A interviewed 10/20

 

[sparky21]

Congrats on the As everyone!! Does anyone know if there is a chance we will get an A later if we didn’t hear today or is it most likely a WL or R?

 

[Arbiter604]

Wondering the same thing

 

[oatmilkplease]

Damn hope they trickle in throughout the day

 

[purdey]

On interview day, I wrote down that they told us we could receive a decision anytime between mid-December and March. I think today is just the beginning.

I wrote that down too. Who knows what happens that people don’t post on SDN. maybe some people from earlier interviews do go straight to an A down the line

 

[sparky21]

Some people seem to have gotten “continued review” emails in January too and have gotten As after that that interviewed early on from what I got from last years

 

[theofficialnumber13]

OOS A! Interviewed 11/10 and received the email at 9:32 AM! This is my first A omg omg

[The Lorax]

[premadbaddie]

OOS A, interviewed 10/20 and sent an update 12/11 (not sure if it helped but wanted to note that)
