<p>It seems that there have been many different means that Hofstra has been notifying candidates of their admission decision. Some have been notified online, others through mail, some both ways, while still others are getting different messages on their Hofstra portal page and haven't been notified at all. The Hofstra admission's blog seemed to have insinuated that all EA1 decisions were mailed out on Friday, but my portal says you will get information in two weeks. It would be great if the Hofstra Rep could clarify this confusion. This makes a very stressful situation worse.</p>
<p>Our portal updating is not considered a ‘notification’.
They told us we would know our decisions by December 15th only by mail and it is only the 13th.</p>
<p>The ‘two weeks’ thing was probably updated several weeks ago you need to stop being concerned with when other people are notified; it could take time to the mail to arrive depending how far you are from the university.
Just be patient, you’ll know within the next few days.</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply. It appears you are connected to Hofstra by your response, it is hard to be certain. In any case just to clarify, many people are reporting that they are getting an “accepted” status right on their portal page. This indicates if true, a notification online. I know for certain of a notification by mail around the corner from me which came a week ago, while I am still waiting. It would be great if all notification could go out at the same time and I am still unsure why different people have different messages on their portal. FYI I live on LI so the mail should not be an issue.
Thanks.</p>
<p>Not connected to Hofstra; by our portal, I mean the applicants.</p>
<p>What I don’t understand, though, is when Admissions told me that all EA I notifications will be mailed out on the 15th…How could that be if so many people have already been accepted through the mail? I’m close to the school so I don’t think it has anything to do with how long the letter takes to get to the applicant. Guess we’ll just have to wait it out.</p>
<p>I checked my account online on Tuesday and coincidentally that same day I got the package in the mail!</p>
<p>i havent gotten a letter and i dont know how i can tell on the portal? other kids in my town found out on monday…i thought we would know by the 15th</p>
<p>There’s definitely hope! I just got my acceptance envelope today and just checked my portal…it still didn’t update to say congratulations or anything.</p>
