Lake Erie - Bradenton (LECOM - Bradenton) Discussion Thread 2015 - 2016

[spenguin]

I dont understand why they couldnt email the acceptance or rejection. Or at least put it on the portal. If im expected to pay the deposit 30 days from now then i should find out 30 days before, not however long it takes to get the decision in the mail.

Alternate listed. Wonderful

 

[Intomidate]

Did anybody who chose to find out in November get alternate listed?

I don't think they will know until November ...

 

[GameNameJames]

I agree, nothing came in the mail today...

 

[superfrogpoke]

Full disclosure....I called because I really wanted to know whether I could cancel my interview or not. YMMV.

Same here, rejection in mail preinterview. It's strange, I had an interview at LECOM-Erie. Bradenton must be looking for something else.

So they send out denial stuff through snail mail, but...do they send out interview invites through snail mail, in addition to e-mails / phone calls? Paid for the secondaries for both Erie and Bradenton around mid-September, so I kinda wanna know what to expect if there's no correspondence except for physical mail (in which there are only denials).

Called and got ACCEPTED!!!!!!!

No II are just through email and text.

Bump for this. I submitted around 9/20. Under review at E and SH. Would really like to go to Florida.

im at work right now, so I can only cry secretly in my heart.

That's probably for the best. I audibly sobbed on the phone....they're probably reconsidering the decision.

 

[mathnerd88]

Now...should I choose CUSOM or LECOM-B?

 

[JuxGiant]

No II are just through email and text.

It's weird (to me, at least) that they send out rejections, pre-interview, through snail mail. Guess they want to be formal in their rejection process?

 

[DrPatriot]

Guess they want to be formal in their rejection process?

Yep that is my thought too

 

[DrPatriot]

I'm not going to call I'm just going to wait for the letter to get here in the mail. I'm not going here regardless of the decision so I don't mind waiting a few extra days. Congrats to everyone who was accepted though!

 

[GreenEyedGirl]

Now...should I choose CUSOM or LECOM-B?

I always make a pros and cons list to make decisions like that.

-----

Congrats to everyone that got accepted do you guys have any interview tips? I'm interviewing Oct 12 and starting to get a little nervous (still very excited though),

 

[mathnerd88]

Wow, now my decision is even more difficult...CCOM, LECOM-B, or CUSOM?

 

[cma116]

Did anybody who opted for November 15 decision call them and get their decision over the phone?

 

[Prairiepalmeri]

II just now!!!!!

 

[TUVIX]

Did anybody who opted for November 15 decision call them and get their decision over the phone?

They told us that if you chose 11/15 and you hear nothing this week you are likely accepted because they would reject or wait list you early and not make you wait that long to know.... so I am hoping that is true.

Anyone 11/15 decision people wanna be the Guinea pig and call them and find out if they will tell us now (Only kidding). Let's be patient.

 

[sandstorm223]

Interview Monday. Gonna ball hard on this one.

 

[spenguin]

Got accepted!!! First acceptance.

Just got it in the mail

 

[sandstorm223]

In Bradenton. Anyone else got here yet?

 

[eyesfeeltired]

was the late decision option for Nov 15?

 

[spenguin]

was the late decision option for Nov 15?

Yes.

 

[PreMed Pam]

Also accepted! Who else is seriously considering going here? I'd love to get a group of us going!

If I don't get accepted to my preferred in state MD school (and I'm in NY, so it's a huuuuuuge long shot) this is my school. I've been actively withdrawing apps from most other schools. I just really like PBL, the cheap tuition, and the thought of studying in paradise. I'd love for a group to get started

 

[AvrgPreMedKid]

Also accepted! Who else is seriously considering going here? I'd love to get a group of us going!

Waiting to hear from a couple of in-state MD schools, as well, like @superfrogpoke

Otherwise, LECOM it is!

 

[TUVIX]

Anyone with the 11/15 decision get waitlisted or rejected?

 

[Prairiepalmeri]

Interviewing on November 11th...anyone estimate my "odds" of getting in?

I still haven't heard anything, 11/15 seems like a long time away

 

[mayo33]

Wait listed with a LizzyM of ~69 -_-

 

[JuxGiant]

For the people that got an II or a rejection - how long was the turnaround from secondary being paid for, to the II/rej?

 

[abcjmz]

Accepted today! Interviewed 8/17

 

[john_stamos]

final review for interview today!

 

[DrPatriot]

ACCEPTED today by letter! I was in the very first interview group. I will be declining but I was really impressed with the school and area. Hope one of you gets to take advantage of my spot!

 

[rogergoodell]

For those accepeted what did it say on your portal?

A decision has been made and you will receive it in the mail in 30 days.

mine says app under review, most likely assuming its a rejection?

I've known where I was going for a long time so I haven't researched trends on here so I have no idea. Although I don't think anyone on here can tell you for certain. Sorry.

Edit: I think you may have said you already interviewed- sorry! The portal can be wonky anyway.

 

[rogergoodell]

yeah post interview, well see this week tho.

 

[john_stamos]

interviewed!

 

[superfrogpoke]

Did you pick Nov 15th or Oct 1st as your decision date? My portal said what yours does up until a few days before October 1st and I was still accepted (I chose Oct 1st). If you picked Nov 15th it probably doesn't mean anything. Also, the portal system is super glitchy.

 

[TUVIX]

11/15 decision and just got the decision in the mail update on the portal. Assuming it's a waitlist... shucks. I really loved this school.

 

[mattman20]

Did anyone else with an 11/15 decision date get a status change?

Mine still says "Your file is in under review by the Admissions Committee post interview. You will be notified by mail of the decision by the Admissions Committee."
