Hey guys, I'm super interested in Hofstra University's BS/MD program, but I can't find any solid info on the acceptance rate. Anyone here got any stats for me? I'm trying to gauge how competitive it is and if I even have a chance.
Hello! The Hofstra 4+4 BS/MD program with Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell is quite competitive. While the acceptance rate for the program isn't officially published, it's generally understood to be quite low, with some estimates ranging from 3-5%. This is due to the small number of slots available each year – typically around 20-25 seats. Additionally, the program receives hundreds of applications, making it pretty selective.
However, don't let this discourage you. If you're passionate about pursuing a career in medicine and believe that this program would be a good fit, it's worth a shot. To stand out, you'll need to demonstrate strong academic achievements, extracurricular involvement, particularly in the healthcare field, and have a compelling personal story. Make sure you invest time in crafting a compelling application and essays that show your passion for a career in medicine. Best of luck!
