i was accepted there back in jan, really wanted to go. loved everything about the school and program, but couldnt justify living off of loans in the most expensive city in the country. and also tuition is high there. 
sucks, bc it seemed like an awesome program.
sucks, bc it seemed like an awesome program.I have an interview there Friday 3/8. Worried about the cost, but they are all high. Have you looked at housing yet? They offer graduate housing, but it says 9k/semester which seems really high if you have to pay for the summer too. Have not looked into off campus housing yet.
I'm interviewing on 3/8 also. I looked into a little bit of off campus housing and it's defintely cheaper than 9k/semester. The tuition is crazy though, I calculated $140,000 for the program not including housing. Oh well, I hope the program is nice cuz I would probably end up going here if accepted.
Yea, they advertise the $10,000/year scholarship like it's given out fairly easily which would take it down to approximately the same price as the majority of schools unless they have really cheap in state rates, but I will definitely be looking for roomates off campus...just in some quick browsing I found a number of apartments within a couple miles/ short subway ride for 6-800/person/month, and most even include the majority of utilities in the rent. If I am accepted I am going to attend, a lot of the other schools I am looking at or accepted to aren't even on real campuses.
If you don't mind me asking, what was the interview like? How many people did they interview? Did they say when you will hear back? This is my first interview after countless denials, so I am very nervous. Any help will be appreciated.
It wasn't bad, there was only an hour session for the interview and it was in groups of three (which I didn't like). Very informative overall, but as far as the interview goes just make sure you have a good answer for why PT and why LIU. My group was also asked what do you think will be the hardest to transition from undergrad to grad, and what were the most important things when deciding on schools. They have A LOT of time for questions throughout the day and the interview so make sure you ask everything you're interested in knowing from the students and faculty. Told us 2-3 weeks before we hear anything, and maybe longer this time because its spring break this week. Good luck
Thanks again for the information! Is this your top choice?
Yes it is my top choice, I applied late (2/15) so not many schools that I really wanted to go to were still accepting applications for this year. If I don't get in here I am taking a year off to save some money up because I refuse to settle when I am going to have to take loans for all my expenses plus tuition.
Congratulations Mah241, maybe I will see you over the summer, fingers crossed!!

Hi! I see a number of you who interviewed last month were accepted, congrats! I'm interviewing with LIU on April 8th and being that this is late to interview I'm wondering how many spots will be left... Any thoughts on that?

sorry, I just read above and saw that they didn't tell you guys how many spots had been filled. I guess I'll just give it my all at the interview and hope for the best! On three waiting lists so far and no acceptances...
Yea they didn't give us any idea when we were up there, but I just crunched some numbers and as much as I love Brooklyn and LIU, I am probably going to give up my spot and just take a year off before applying to Slippery Rock for in state rates. The salary does not justify the amount I would have to finance even after the scholarship. I cant put myself in debt the rest of my life just to go there.
Me too!
I didn't get the official letter in the mail yet, but I'm going to put my deposit down soon.
I interviewed on the 8th as well.
Make one

Hey, I'm going to be interviewing at LIU in a little over a week (for the class of 2017) and was wondering if you guys could give me some insight on what you think of the program? Are you satisfied with LIU? Would you recommend the LIU program to a friend whose applying to PT school?
