I was complete on 8/21, interviewed 10/5, and accepted 10/14. I'm also currently doing a master's, I sent Annette an update of my current grades in September and was offered an interview pretty much the next day! I would definitely recommend sending a screenshot of current grades and a LOI. They seem to be very responsive to updates and maintaining contact.

That's actually what I did before they sent the email.. They got my letter and I received there email a few days later. Not sure why, I did really well on my first round of exams.

Hi guys -- I am accepted here and am seriously considering matriculating. I am hoping to get some more info from current students about the PBL pathway -- in particular, how often are you on campus? When I say that, I mean how often are you "required" to be on campus? (i.e. not including library time you use for studying)... Is it only for anatomy lab and then the three PBL days? If so, are the PBL days usually three days in a row, or are they spread out throughout the week? Thank you in advance!

II a couple of days ago, will be interviewing 12/4. Anyone who is interviewing there would like to share a hotel room? i am going to be spending a lot of money on travel expenses. lol
 
For everyone who selected regular decision, did you find out your decision yet?
 
How much study time do students get for COMLEX? 1 month?

During interview day they had huge curriculum packets on the tables but I forgot to check out this fact.

Anybody have an idea?

I am a first year student and so far this semester I have been on campus almost every day M-F. PBL is every MWF, OPP lab is Tuesdays and OPP and clinical exam lectures are on Thursdays. It is only for a couple of hours every day but you still have to come once a day.
 
For those who interviewed today, how was it? I know some of you mentioned a panel interview, any advice would be appreciated!

It was pretty low key and painless all things considered. Nothing that I would consider a panel interview. One group interview and one individual interview. Mm I style in that they gave you a prompt to respond to. Overall not too bad. Good luck.

Does LECOM-B have a simulation lab? I loved the school but I didn't see this on my tour (and I'm not sure whether to be concerned about it or not). Do current med students have an opinion on whether this is an important feature for a medical school to have or not?

So are there any lectures at all to cover material, in person or recorded? Or are you just given textbooks and material to read for the PBL?

Anatomy, clinical exam and OPP are lecture based for the entire course. We also have mini courses in behavioral science, human sexuality, health care management, geriatrics, etc that are lecture based or online. PBL itself is reading.

We don't have one on campus but there is one nearby that is used. From my understanding, we don't use it often. It would be nice to have but it's not number one on my priority list. If it's important to you, NSU has a great one.

Hi everyone if I'm still on a pre secondary hold, is it advised to get in contact with the school or is it best to just wait my turn?

Just call them and ask what's up. Be polite.
 
After waiting a few weeks without a secondary, I called in to verify receipt of my application. They sent me the secondary 15 minutes after we hung up.

Did you get an email confirming receipt of your primary? I've been waiting a week with no confirmation.
 
Hey everyone! So I have been accepted to a few schools so far but being a Florida resident I would really like to get an II from LECOM-B. Do you think it would be too much for me to contact the dean of the school by email and let him know how interested I am in attending this school? I would preferably like to stay in Florida and tuition would be cheaper for being instate here compared to other schools and they seem to have a good match rate. I was notified online that my app would be re-reviewed in 60 days and that was about 60 days ago. What do you all think? Too pushy to email him?

It really couldnt hurt to write a letter of intent/or interest in the school!! I was accepted to this school and I am seriously thinking of going, even though I have been accepted to 4 other places!! I think you should definitely try, it never hurts!

Congrats!! How were you notified your app was complete? Also, how long after submitting were you marked complete?

How long after you submitted the secondary did the complete email come through? I got the "We received your supplemental application for the D.O. Program at the LECOMBradenton Campus, a payment receipt with the subject "Lake Erie College Of Osteopathic Medicine Customer Receipt/Purchase Confirmation", will be sent to your mailbox upon completion of the payment transaction. Until you receive an e-mail with this subject, your card has not been charged" email the minute I submitted my secondary-- is that the "complete" email or is it something different? The portal says my app is complete, but I haven't received any emails.
