I had my interview around December 4-the very first group interview of the cycle. I heard back a week and a half later. It is around 4 hours but it was honestly pretty great. They divide you up into groups, they give a presentation each 45 min or so, one about student life on campus, one introducing the faculty, one session was a Q and A with current students with no faculty present so they could be more honest, then they do group interviews. I was with 2 other people and we were interviewed by 2 of the faculty members. We each took turns answering each Q. They were so warm and friendly, so I felt very comfortable the whole time. Then you go on a tour of the campus. Good luck!Hello, first I’d like to say congratulations on your acceptance to LIU. I am considering both LIU and Touro. I was accepted to Touro Bay Shore Campus and I’m attending the open house next week. I am going to put down a deposit for Touro but I also have an interview on 3/2 for LIU. Any insight on how the interview day goes? I know it’s scheduled to be a 4 hour day.

I'll be there on the 2nd as well!
I don't remember all of them. But some were along the lines of: 1) What can you bring to the program? 2) When in some experiences in your shadowing or elsewhere have you experienced diversity? 3) Why do you want to be a PT? 4) Why do you want to come to LIU in particular?

@nyc_dpt I don't think there is a truly better program, but you just have to figure out which school is best for you. From what I have seen personally, LIU therapists really seem to think outside the box and that is important to me, and definitely a reason why I'm leaning towards LIU. But you have to figure out what is most important to you and then try to figure out which school would be best for that!
Happy to answer any other questions you have between the two programs
I have my interview tomorrow, and i’m actually really interested to see how I’ll like it there.
Thank you so much for the feedback!
I am curious to know what everyone thought as well. I enjoyed speaking with the students, and I felt like they were straight shooters about life there. The faculty seemed very nice, and their student centered approach is intriguing.Hope it went well! Let me know what you thought!

I wouldn't assume that. They will tell you one way or another.I haven’t heard back at all...i guess i should just assume rejection?
I was accepted about a week ago, but my deposit is due the 10th of April, I think I'm going to do it!!Anyone here going to LIU DPT class of 2021? Got accepted and made a deposit and really considering it! And anyone deciding between LIU and Touro with any insight?
They charge the tuition by credit, so each semester will be a bit different I think. The email I got said to expect the end total to be about $145,000Just got accepted! 90% sure I will go here, so exciting
I was wondering if anyone had an accurate cost of tuition? The website isn’t too straight forward and I know they gave an estimate in the e-mail but looking for as much info as I can before making this big decision!
Me too! Off of the waitlist!
Yes same! So excited
