Same. Got email this morning
We got Kaplan last year, classes before that got combank. Dedicated for level 1 is 4-6 weeks, level 2 is much longer depending on if you start rotations in July or august. I will have 12 weeks of dedicated, but I’m not taking that much.
It’s pretty casual & will be led either by a student ambassador or a member of staff. I think they try to get you some face time with current students if possible, so if you’re interested in asking them questions try to avoid the weekend after thanksgiving or winter break for your dates (Dec 16th is our last day).
Thank you! That’s what I figured.
No particular scrub color, wear what you want but the first year you’ll only be using scrubs for anatomy lab, so I don’t recommend spending a lot on them because you may not be able to get the smell out when you’re done. You’ll be given a lab coat and white coat at orientation.
Thank you! That's really helpful information.
Any from October interviews hear back yet? Still waiting. It’s been almost 2 months.
Such a confusing email!
I emailed for clarification
Thank you!! So the check in dates in the email are just what they recommend we complete some of the task by?
About the hard due date: if you start a vaccine series (like Hep B) and need an extension, or can’t get a vaccine due to shortages, just email LUCOM. They’re nice about that kind of stuff, but get it done on time if you can.
As with most DO schools, they have rotations at sites that are not directly affiliated with the school. Below is a link to their rotation sites.
OMS-3, there are several rotation sites in Virginia, and sites in Mississippi, Texas, Illinois, & Pennsylvania. One site is local and takes about 50-ish students, 50-ish are spread across the other VA sites, and 50-ish go out of state. There’s a lottery system to determine who goes where, and they take exemption requests for couples to stay together, students with kids or working spouses, or health issues that require certain locations.
Excellent question to ask on interview day. I was only involved in a little research there, but I do know they are building the research dept, they offer a research year now between 2nd & 3rd year, they’ve created their own online journal, host a research day each year, and provide opportunities to present at local & national conferences.
I have been accepted at KCU, RVU (Rocky), Marian, PCOM (Georgia), waitlisted at CUSOM, and one MD decision that I will find out in about a month. I will be visiting these schools in early January, but right now having not scene the schools in person I would choose between KCU, LUCOM, and Marian. I will let you know post visit thoughts. If it makes you feel better, I have talked to a couple 3rd-4th year students and no major concerns of liberty as of date.
Current 3rd year, ask here or feel free to PM me.
Sent over a PM, thank you!

I was waitlisted in November and accepted this week.
Submitted my app in July and just got II! So they still are
If you don’t mind sharing, please what interview dates are available?
I could choose from March 6th, April 3rd or April 6th. All virtual. 10 spots for march, 15 for April 3rd and 5 for April 6th.
Ok, thank you. Best wishes on your interview.
I also just received an II, and I’ve had other acceptances from schools so I’ll be declining as well. Is there an official way to let them know you want to be removed from consideration, or did you just let the 14 days run out? I could try emailing them, but I’ve emailed them in the past and I’ve gotten no response, so I’m not sure if they’ll see it.
what are your stats if you don't mind sharing?
. It’s been almost 2 months.
