LIU Summer Honors Institute Help

Hi, I applied to the LIU Summer program and got accepted, but the program is rather far. I was wondering if anyone had gone to this program and could share some insight as to whether or not it’s worth the trip? Thank you!! ^^

Which program did you apply for? I applied for the careers in healthcare one but heard no news, I think its definitely worth the trip!

@junior010 I applied for business at POST. If you don’t mind, and if you do then it’s okay, can you please let me know your stats? I kinda want to know how competitive this program is… but if not it’s ok. It’s also a 100$ Uber away from me so idk…

Tbh I wasn’t that good, but I think my essays for the program were decent.

If i’m accepted I will definitely make the trip! How long were your written responses if you dont mind me asking? @MiHe2018

@Emoops For the last essay question, around 1.5 pages single space. Once again, if you don’t mind me asking, what program did you apply for and what are your stats?

@MiHe2018 Those are great stats you have an amazing SAT score congrats!!

I just got in!!

@junior010 Post or Brooklyn? Did you get an email or a legit letter in the mail? Congratulations though!

Thank you! I applied and got into Post and they sent me an email informing me of my acceptance but stated I would get an acceptance packet within the next week or two. @MiHe2018

@MiHe2018 How do you know decisions come out this week?

Just got into the Model UN program (I applied late) so I assume it’s not too competitive of a program considering how long the app has been open and how short it was to complete?

So yeah, not as amazing as some of y’all but I’m honest.

Hey guys! i was accepted into Liu Brooklyn too for the healthcare program! Just trying to get to know about the program and what its like.

How competitive is the LIU Summer Honors program? Trying to find stuff but null.

not really sure. i dont really think its that competitive though. are you going this year? and to brooklyn or post?

@fadeaway24SC
I figured it wasn’t, which is why I’m not too hype to go cause what if they just glanced at my app and were like, “Yeah sure.”
Anywho, I’m going to POST for Model UN.
