Looking around at the other students here, I assume all you need is a 2.5 GPA and $200,000.
In all seriousness, I got in with about a 2.8 GPA and a 1790 on my SATs. Not a very difficult school to get into, which is NOT a good thing.
I'd consider Hofstra a "safety school."

I was a transfer so it was easier. It shouldn't be hard to get in. Just be involved and visit.
