A first-year undergraduate applicant is a current high school senior, a high school graduate with no postsecondary coursework, or the recipient of a
high school equivalency applying for matriculated (degree-seeking) status at Hofstra University. First-year candidates may apply as Early Action or
Regular Decision.
Early Action is a nonbinding early application and notification process for fall semester first-year students only. Students accepted via Early Action
are not required to withdraw other college applications, but are required to notify Hofstra University of their intentions by May 1. There are two
rounds of Early Action as indicated in the chart below.
Regular Decision candidates are considered on a “rolling basis.” While there is no deadline for regular decision applications, students are
encouraged to apply early so as to receive the fullest consideration. Once your application and all supporting documents are received, the
application is reviewed by our admission committee.

STANDARDIZED TESTS
Submitting standardized test scores to Hofstra is optional. This provides students with the ability to decide for themselves how to best present their
academic strengths and abilities to the Admission Committee and allows each student to decide whether the standardized test results accurately reflect his or her
academic ability and potential.
The mid-range of admitted students submitting SAT scores is 1120 to 1320 and the mid-range of admitted students submitting ACT scores is 25 to 32. If you choose
to submit scores from the SAT or the ACT, official test scores must be sent directly from the testing service. Once the application form has been submitted, that choice
cannot be changed or rescinded. Need help deciding? Visit hofstra.edu/testingpolicy.
Please select one of the options below:
❑ I would like my SAT/ACT scores to be considered as part of my application.
❑ I do not want my SAT/ACT scores to be considered as part of my application.
If you select that you do not want your SAT/ACT scores to be considered as part of your application, please explain your decision here:
