Re: Hofstra 2011
I'm going to go. I'm not sure if I'm going to attend in business attire (I have to leave immediately after work and I don't feel like making any quick changes in the car).

one soul saved =)
In my own personal case, I'm already accepted at two other schools. Hofstra is my backup and there was no application fee. I don't see how it hurts me to see what I can get, and to have some options..
I agree. I have been accepted to a number of schools already and have gotten full scholarships (some with almost no stipulations). I recently got accepted to Hofstra and am waiting on their scholarship offer. If they offered me full tuition with realistic stipulations, why shouldn't I "consider" attending?

Re: Hofstra 2011
Quick question. So if there is nothing under mailings about "Honor's Scholarship," or whatever, can I expect to receive no money? Is there anyone who received money that didn't have this under mailings?

Re: Hofstra 2011
Hey Ya'll!
2 questions:
1) I applied 1/7 with a 158/3.95 to the part time program. Do I have a chance at acceptance/scholarship money? If so how much?
2) Is it even worth it to go to Hofstra? Being that its bottom of tier 2, would you have a decent chance of getting a good job from this place?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Hofstra 2011
I can't speak with considerable knowledge on this subject, but can say that I have a good friend ranked among the top 10 students at Hofstra. He does in fact have a big law job lined up, but I imagine he is the exception to the rule. Still, that should tell you that getting an elite job is at least "possible" in the broadest sense of the word.lawfreak wrote:Hey Ya'll!

If you only want biglaw it surely sounds like a huge gamble, but if you wouldn't mind working in a mid-sized / smaller NY firm, I imagine it is a solid choice.
Edit: To the first part of you question - I have no idea, sorry. Just got in today and no word on funding yet. Your numbers seem fine for admission though from what I've gathered.

Re: Hofstra 2011
Hofstra sent my admit packet on the 18th, but I still haven't received it. Seton Hall sent theirs on Friday and I got it today... maybe I should call?

Yeah I think so. It said I was accepted, and the next day it updated and said they sent a honor's scholarship.cartercl wrote:Quick question.

My status went from complete/under review to blank? Does that mean they're making a decision?

Congrats!
Do you mind me asking your stats? Also did your status go blank before it said admitted?
