  1. Does anyone admitted to LIU Post want to make a group to talk, given the recent developments?
  2. I’ll DM you in an hour or so. I had similar concerns but accepted and am excited.
  3. I'm still waiting. I'm assuming it's a no, but I could be wrong. Also I keep answering robocalls from California numbers.
  4. While there are changes happening, I think the program is well-established enough that it's not really in mortal danger. The faculty are experienced and well-respected. Many of them have been with the program for a long time. They are making changes in response to the situation, and to me they seem protective of their program and committed to advocating for students' best interests. Also, it's not like the class size is changing THAT much. I know they aren't accepting as many students (28) as last year, but I can't remember what number I was told during the interview. Either 23 or 25 students this year? The talk that's going around here definitely makes me nervous, but it's also clear to me that there are people on GradCafe who straight-up, maliciously lie in order to influence other applicants' decisions or to inspire doubt... I think the students in the program who I've talked to are being really honest about the situation. The fact that they aren't sugar coating it makes me trust them more. I'm going to PM you.
  5. You are very welcome I’m glad it made you less nervous. At this point it’s my only offer, so I’m a little biased in terms of optimism. I sent emails asking the admissions director and a current student more questions about recent changes. I saw that rumor about accreditation on here but I haven’t heard anything to back that claim up, nor have I heard about it from a credible source. Why would they lose accreditation? What was your impression from last night? (Opposed to what you’ve heard on here)?
  6. Yes, it’s a discussion group. there are prompt questions, but the professor in my group was not attached to the prompts and let the conversation flow organically. I thought I didn’t do well, but they ended up offering an acceptance. They said this is the first year they’ve forgone individual interviews and wanted to try this out. One thing I was thinking was that maybe they’re not weighting interviews as much compared to other factors in their decisions? Or they just want to make sure the applicants they already like on paper are okay to be around, can be collaborative, etc. ? another thing I thought was that they might end up making offers to the majority of people they interview, so it isn’t necessary to take the time to grill every person in an individual interview (which perhaps isn’t a great representation of some applicants anyway). Good luck! I *really* like this program and am strongly considering their offer, but I am trying to talk to more people about the large recent/upcoming changes to the program that have me a little nervous.
  7. I was just invited for the second round of interviews and I’m wondering if anyone who interviewed on the 2nd can comment on the format of the group interview.
  8. I’m in a similar position and pretty sad about being waitlisted. Do you know where you are on the list?
