“I did well in High School and was veryJul 15 2007Psychology
I did well in High School and was very active, the typical well rounded student... My SAT scores were not all that great but I feel that my essay and letters of reccomendation were a big help. The school will read EVERYTHING that you send them with your application. If you show an interest in Hofstra, then they will show one back. Come for the day and attend classes or have lunch (call admissions and set up a Hofstra UpClose). Go to the information session and tour and speak with the admissions counselors. The more you do the more the University will remember you.

Be well-rounded...research the culture on long island, not that it helps you get it, but it will make the transistion easier if you're not from LI. Write a good essay and make sure you visit the campus and speak with someone, all that stuff is good to do anywhere.

“I had pretty good SAT scores, in fact sinceDec 04 2005Undecided
I had pretty good SAT scores, in fact since I scored above a 1200 I was admitted to the Honors College, which is a great resource & opportunity. I would recommend that students make sure they have good faculty recommendations, and that if they are uncertain of their SAT scores, they make sure they are involved in a lot of extra curricular activities and write quality essays.
SAT: 1270 Female

I showed up one day, filled out an app, and since essay was optional, I didn't have to do one. DON'T COME TO HOFSTRA if you want to actually learn and be surrounded by intelligent students. Do come to Hofstra if you want to party, get drunk all the time, and engage in anything but scholarly work.
SAT: 1150 Female
