LIU C/O 2026

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
IS- accepted. Got the call today around noon (didn’t answer because I was at work but it said it was from Brookeville) and the official email around 4pm! Will be declining due to having already accepted a spot at another school! Good luck to everyone else!
You can accept an IS offer and turn down an offer you have already accepted, even though you've already accepted it. I'd strongly suggest going to your cheapest option (which is likely to be you IS school).

LIU is private and doesn’t differentiate between IS and OOS when it comes to tuition. It’s the same for everyone.
 
Everyone who got off the waitlist so far, when did you interview? I’m kicking myself for not interviewing in the first group when I had the chance. They emailed me like 2 days before😿

I interviewed on Jan 7th and I got waitlisted. And I think that was pretty early, but not sure if that was the earliest date.

Yes I think it was. Did you accept? Low key suffering over here with now news haha. How long did they give you to make a decision? Wondering if there will be more people pulled Monday.

Before the interview, I think it was a week to couple of werks and gave me one option for the date and time. I’m gonna pull my name from the waitlist since I’m gonna go elsewhere. But yeah I think it’s kinda annoying they don’t even tell people if waitlisted or not. I hope they do it soon.

We’re you notified of your waitlist? I believe I was in the first or second group of interviews and I was notified around Feb that I was waitlisted and then again at the beginning of April how high on the waitlist I was, and then was pulled off yesterday morning. I’m declining my spot but they gave me until April 20 to send in my decision
 
Yes I was waitlisted in February and the email said they will tell us if we are in the top or bottom half of the waitlist after April 15th. I have not heard anything since.
That’s how my case is too. I was in the last group to interview and got waitlisted in February and haven’t heard since.
 
Is it true that a new veterinary building is opening this fall?

So they were informing people who were high on the waitlist already that they’d be given a spot soon?
 
I got an email today updating me on my waitlist spot! They said to not email them for anymore information…
 
Would anyone mind explaining more about what they said in the email. I’m waitlisted as well but have not received an update on my position or any other communication since getting waitlisted. A little anxious about what that might mean for me😅

Has anyone else not heard anything?

I haven’t heard anything since I was waitlisted. I put my deposit down somewhere else, so at this point I kinda forgot about liu and just not really liking the no communication so I’m gonna email and take my name off the waitlist anyway.
 
Same, they said the class is almost full. Did they tell you where you were in the waitlist? I’m curious how many spots they have left?
How do you know that the class is almost full? I’ve been told i’m in the middle of the waitlist and that I’m probably not gonna hear till summer.

The email just stated whether we were in the top, middle or bottom of the waitlist. And they asked to not ask for any more information.

“The class has not been completely finalized but it is close that means that names will be selected from the waitlist as seats become available”

From the email. I’m definitely rooting for you! I saw your other post and I’m in the same position where I have been accepted to an Island school (Ross) but would prefer to stay in the US if possible.
 
For those who received an email today about waitlist, What was the wording they used to describe your position? They told me I was “high on the list which meant there is still a reasonable possibility I will receive an offer” anyone else get this wording?

Mine said “You are midway down the wait list meaning there is still possibility that you will receive an offer but the offer will not come until later this summer if at all.” I wonder what the bottom part said
 
Just got an acceptance and says to accept by the 26th I will be declining though. Wondered why I hadn’t gotten email about where I was on the waitlist.

Just wondering isnt normal for most schools to not keep you updated if your waitlisted? The school I was waitlisted they never sent any update expected when I personally emailed them.

Oh definitely. But with liu they said in the email to first tell me that I was waitlisted that around April 15 they would tell me if I was in the upper, middle or lower areas of the waitlist. And I saw others here getting those emails the other day and I was wondering why I hadn’t. So I was thinking it’s cuz I was next on the waitlist anyway.
 
Hey everyone! Wanted to pop in and say that the facebook page for the class of 2026 is called “Official LIU College of Veterinary Medicine Class of 2026” 🙂
 
Hey!
I am a current 1st year at LIU. Congratulations to everyone who will be joining us next year. Just pop in and give a heads up on a couple things that may be helpful for your transition/ saving some money while you prepare over the summer.
1.) Most of your textbooks you can find online, so if you spend some time looking when you get your list you will save yourself hundreds of dollars. I know some people need physical textbooks to learn and thats also fine, its just nice to be able to carry them around on your iPad and write notes on the textbook pages. Plus I think it saves you around 400$ or so in textbooks ( maybe more).
2.) You will have anatomy for 2 semesters and there is an anatomy study guide you can purchase by DayDVM ( link will be on the bottom). Its about 30$ ( made by a vet student from Tufts I believe) and it is an absolute life saver. I don't know if it will be on your recommended textbooks list but really was very helpful to a bunch of us this year. She also has a free comparative anatomy book on her website which also comes in handy quite a bit as well.

If you have any questions about the program/ vet school feel free to reach out! 🙂
 
Received and offer off the waitlist! Will be accepting my seat. So excited!!!!!
 
Congrats everyone ! My hopes are slowly dying off as I assume the class is almost full now and i’m in the mid part of the waitlist 🥺

I was in the same boat as you just a few hours ago. I noticed that since the 15th LIU sends out some acceptances from the waitlist and then gives those folks 3 business days to accept/decline. Then they send out more acceptances on the following day, presumably until the class is full. So the round of people who will get pulled is probably 05/03.

Today I had all but given up hope. I finally allowed myself to start getting excited about attending an island school. It will be much cheaper (COL) and there will likely be a greater diversity within the student body. Something I was looking forward to as a non traditional student. There’s still a chance you’ll get pulled, but for now you deserve to be excited about SGU. You got accepted! I’m sure whatever happens you’re going to be a great veterinarian.
 
Waitlist Update: One person in the 2026 group gave up their spot this week because they got off another waitlist, and the Facebook group only have 78 members as of right now so I don’t think the class is full.

I have not heard any updates in the last 2 weeks so I appreciate this

some people may not be on facebook so that would account for a few more seats
 
Hi all! Didn't ever post but I got accepted off the wait-list on April 20th and I will be attending! I'm very excited to get started.

Do any current students have recommendations about off-campus apartments? I've been looking on Zillow and craigslist mainly in Glen Head, Port Washington, and Mineola but I wondered whether there is insider information on what neighborhoods are pleasant to live in. Is it worth living a little further (~20 minute commute to Port Washington or Mineola versus ~10 for Glen Head) for increased access to public transit and a more walkable area? Do most people just go through Zillow or did anyone end up needing a relator? Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks 🙂
 
I previously accepted my seat but will be attending another school instead. Hope this helps someone out!! best of luck
