Interview went well! At least I think it went well lol wasn't intense or anything. Everyone there made us feel comfortable so it wasn't that bad. They say the committee meets the day after interviews are given

I'd say give it a few days. LECOM seems to be pretty good at keeping you up to date on what's going on. If you get really worried just give them a call

Best of luck, I think as long as you get an interview, you should have a really good chance of getting in. I was super nervous before pretty much about everything.

My interview is this thursday, i'm super nervous because of my low PCAT...do you mind sharing your stats? And what should I be expecting from the interview? Should I prepare a few questions to ask?

Well, Lecom does not have minimum pcat requirement. In my case, I will have BS before matriculation, so I can be exempted from having pcat. You are in a very early cycle and you are already invited to interview, so you shouldn't be worried about it much. For interview questions, they asked general questions like "Tell me about yourself, why pharmacy?, something like that". My interview was vey relaxed and the faculty members are very nice. One thing, at the end of the interview, you should ask them questions. I asked about three questions and my interviewer really took time to answer them. Hope it helps. Good luck.

Don't worry too much about you Pcat at this point, I was on the same boat. I did horrible in the Pcat since I work and go to school all day everyday. So I was able to study for it the night before, but that didn't help much. With that being said, try to hint that to them during the interview (if there is any reason why you got that score). As many people have said, don't tell them your negatives instead turn that into something positive. Also expect this question: "Tell me about yourself" It's like listing your resume pretty much, and tell them about your passion(s).
As for my stats: GPA: 3.56 sGPA: 3.3 -3.4 (I did horrible my freshman year but since then, it's an up hill trend). over 500 hours of volunteering total.

I think the only reason that i got in was because I was honest with them not my stats. I basically told them everything about myself and my struggles (they asked a question about this).

But yeah, you got the interview, now show them who you are and why they should pick you. Also, forgive me for my grammar errors and stuff like that, english is not my first language, hope you can read what i wrote without much problem.

Thank you very much!!! ... I will have my bachelors by the end of next spring but I took the PCAT as well... did not do well on comprehension and verbal ability ( English is not my first language) so my percentile was not as high... did you applied to any other schools?

I applied to ROSEMAN in Nevada since it's close to home and I want to go out of state for my grad, but i do like Lecom because of the cost, which is one huge factor for me. Which state are you in right now?
 
Well, I live in Florida just an hour away from Lecom... I have also applied to other schools, USF ( closer to home) and NOVA ( which is very expensive) and I would really like to avoid it ... if possible... however the real truth is getting accepted to any of the schools I applied is what matters the most......
Trying to stay positive!!!!

I'm at the Orlando campus. It's awesome and I love the school. Def the best in the state of florida hands down. Even in Gainesville where you can attend live lectures there is usually on 20-30 since attendance is not mandatory. The test scores are on average the same no matter what campus you are at.
 
Good luck everyone for tomorrow! I'll be there at 7:45 sharp.
 
For everyone that have an interview tomorrow, best of luck :cool:
 
Good luck everyone today..very soon actually...:D

Yes as long as your science is above 2.7 gpa. I met someone with lower stats and a 37 on pcat and she got in...just nail your interview
 
I had my interview on the 17th as well, and I didn't call, but just got my acceptance letter in the mail today. Congrats to everyone who I met there! Are any of you guys planning on accepting or are you waiting to hear from other schools? I just got my interview invite from UF for 11/19, so maybe I'll be seeing some of you there? I hope!

For anyone asking about the interview -
Like everyone says, just be yourself - but the most confident and comfortable version of yourself. Everyone was really nice and genuine. The biggest complaint appeared to be the professional dress code and no eating or drinking in classrooms.
 
I have my interview 11/17 ..I'm soooo excited...hope everyone did well yesterday! Happy happy...who else will be going on the 17th?
 
Congrats! Interview was very laid back and a great environment. Just use SDN as your guide and you will be successful.
 
Yeah that would be me. Best 36 dollars spent in my life. How'd your interview go?
