I applied to Hofstra University through a Select Candidate Application on January 26, 2017. my counselor, my teacher, and my supervisor sent in a letter of recommendation for me. I was wondering if I would ever have a good chance of getting in. I was a straight A and B student until I had gotten a F in my first semester in senior year for French III. All of my classes are at standard level. I have 7 extracurriculars and 2 volunteer experiences (One of which I am currently doing as of today). My SAT score is a 980 and my ACT score is a 21. Due to me failing French III in my first semester, my GPA dropped from a 3.7 to a 3.64
Just wanted to give an update for anyone who cares to read this, I got accepted to Hofstra on February 8th! :3
Congrats!!! May I know when you applied?
Dear TheBeautifulDuo : Hofstra University has been downplaying the importance of the SAT/ACT in favor of High School academic performance. Based on my reading of your profile (980/21), you should consider your acceptance to be the gift of a lifetime as prior years would have seen your application rejected out of hand. You have been given the chance of lifetime - best of luck.
@Karangyl I applied on January 26th.
@scottj Um thank you? But then again, no thank you. I worked hard like every one else and I got in. I am very grateful that I got accepted but you basically just called my scores trash and I don’t like that. Have a great day.
