hey guys! so there was no thread for the Hofstra EA class of 2020 and some of the admissions decisions are up if you go on the website! So congrats to everyone who has gotten in!!
My D was accepted 
Good luck to all!
Can scholarship awards be found on the portal?
You have to wait for the letter in the mail according to my admissions counselor
Awesome! Thanks for posting. She is in. Now we just have to wait to see if there is enough aid for her to actually go. Hofstra has been her top choice since we visited this summer.
My S just got in yesterday with the presidential scholarship/honors program @ 25,000 a year. Still not sure what he will do though but it is a really good option.
My S got in 12/11 and the presidential scholarship program @ $25,000/year came in the mail. Also received a handwritten post-it note from the admissions counselor. Not his top choice but the most $.
GPA 3.04/4
ACT 30
Can you share their SAT scores?
My son applied for EA I, but we haven’t heard anything yet. Last week we noticed his portal changed his status to say “a decision has been made regarding your admission to Hofstra University for the fall 2016. You will receive a letter in the mail with more information”. As of now he has not received anything yet, and under different circumstances we would not be concerned, however, it seems that the students who have been accepted already were notified directly on the Hofstra portal. Given the notice on his portal, I just went back to previous years discussions, and it seem that Hofstra notifies everyone differently (portal, email, regular mail). My question is, should we keep checking the portal to see if it ever updates to reflect his application’s decision, or given this message it never will update and we just have to keep waiting for a letter to come in the mail? I noticed several people posting the same message, and although the Hofstrarep answers most questions, there never has been an answer to this particular question before.
How about if people provide their credentials too? What did you have that got you admitted?
Admitted for EA II
GPA 3.73

Lots of activities and good recs!
mm100597 how did you receive your decision, portal, email, or regular mail? We are still waiting, nothing yet
Got in. Anyone know where to find scholarship information online
@pulli75 I got an email with a welcome to Hofstra photo. Logged into portal and checked by status and said I was in.
Thanks @bloodythunder and congratulations!
Admitted EA with $22,500 scholarship. Portal showed admittance but scholarship came by mail today.
3.5 GPA
25 ACT
My D was admitted EA with a $27,000 scholarship, Honors College… 3.8 GPA, 1980 SAT, Nat’l Honor Society, French Honor Society, Music Honor Society, lots of extracurriculars (marching band, symphonic band, theater, etc). Not sure where she’s going yet, waiting on scholarship info from Penn State.
anybody who has been, or knows of anyone who has been rejected, wait listed, deferred, does the Hofstra portal up date to say that? Two months ago, the portal up dated to say “a decision has been made and a letter in the with more information should be arriving” however until today we are still waiting. We were told that the portal will not be updating for us until we receive the letter, which sounds clearly like bad news are coming. So I was wondering if the portal only updates for admitted students or if it also reflects rejections, etc. Thanks in advance to all.
I got in - regular decision. 23k $ scholarship - 1770 sat score. I am an international student.
I was accepted. 25k scholarship, plus a lot of aid. All the information is on the portal. I got an e-mail a few days ago about my award summary.
Has anyone received their Financial package in the mail yet?
