I was a little confused because I usually hear schools refer to applicants in "phases" and the actual interviews in "parts" if there's more than one. So you'd be in Phase 1, Part 2 of the interview. Just trying to make sure I've got the lingo right LOL.

 

Hofstra does Phase 1 and Phase 2 

Phase 1 EI 

Phase 2 clinical 

 

different schools call them different things

I can see that considering I'm used to seeing it called something different as I mentioned previously 🫠

Does anyone know how many applicants get invited for the phase 2 interview

16 per interview day I think, I forgot how many interview days they had last year. Maybe 4-5?

OK thank you so about 64-80 applicants will get a phase 2 interview. Good luck to all

I had my phase 1 interview this Friday-mid afternoon. Still waiting to hear back.

Did they tell you at the end that you should be getting an email from the admissions coordinator within the next week or 2 regarding the next steps?

Yea at the end of my interview they said the admission coordinator will send next steps by next week.

Do you mind sharing any information you have about the phase interviews? How many are there? Also, congratulations! Thanks!

2 phases. Phase one is pretty much a standard interview more just getting a feel for who you are. Phase 2 is clinical base.

I def submitted 2 payments. One to NursCas and one directly to Hofstra.

Thank you for confirming! Someone asked about the fee but another asked what fee. I tried to find the link last night but was unsuccessful because I was so tired.
