Hofstra University evaluates applicants based on academic performance, standardized test scores, and extracurricular involvement. A strong high school GPA, typically 3.5 or higher, is preferred. SAT or ACT scores are considered but are optional for most programs due to Hofstra’s test-optional policy.
Applicants must submit high school transcripts, letters of recommendation, and a personal essay. Some programs may require portfolios, auditions, or interviews. International students must demonstrate English proficiency via TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo scores. Transfer students need college transcripts and a minimum GPA of 2.5. Specific programs, like nursing or engineering, may have additional prerequisites.
