Hey guys! Note on the acceptances LIU has already sent and how acceptances work in professional schools in general:
Nearly every school across disciplines over-accept their classes. Each school does this based on historical data on how many students accept their acceptances. As an example, prior to the class of 2020, Illinois had data showing that 80% of in state students and 24% of out of state students would accept their acceptances. So they had to send enough acceptances out to cover the students that wouldn't accept their acceptances for whatever reason.
It is completely possible 130 people have received acceptances from LIU. They have to compensate for students applying to their program, but choosing other programs due to price (tuition and cost of living), location, newness of program, etc.
As someone mentioned, schools have to follow the universal signing date. There are still months left for LIU to send out however many acceptances they need to in order to fill the class. Whether they do so by sending one acceptance at a time or in batches, it doesn't ultimately matter.
