Do they no longer do the group interview, and this is what is replacing it?Well that interview was fun! Nice meeting several of you.
Just a heads up to those interviewing over the next month. You are going to see the words "MMI" in the itinerary. That is the individual interview. They ask you two questions and you have 8 minutes to answer them.
Don't freak out like we did haha

Hello all! Congrats to those who have received IIs! So I am coming into this a bit late in the game. Due to some transcript processing troubles, my AACOMAS application was verified on 7/21. Is LECOM still sending out secondaries or have I totally missed out on any chance of going here? Thanks in advance!
Idk, if you can answer this, but were you asked about the current issues in medicine?
Okay thanks. Just making sure.
Just for future interviews and possible secondaries..its preventive not preventative medicine
Oh guys..also...Well that interview was fun! Nice meeting several of you.

Put any medical term into any grammar or spelling checking system and it'll tell you its wrong. Preventive medicine is the term for the fellowship programs and overall field of medicine. I don't think its a big deal to say preventative, just know a stickler may call u out on it!
Hey I'm someone who doesn't have your stats , lower to be honest, but I've been doing the same all the time. It's only July I just got an II from BCOM. Be patient. It's not just about GPA and MCAT so keep that in mind. Good luck hopefully we both get an invite!
Me too man, I know I probably come off as arrogant or a jerk, but I'm just anxious. my biggest fear is that after all the hard work I put in and extra courses i took to make my application appealing to these medical schools that I just get glossed over and waste my money but even more importantly a year of my life only to end up no where at the end of the cycle. I don't really have a back up plan, this is all i want to do
Buddy you sound exactly like me! You will get in somewhere you have an amazing MCAT how many schools did you apply to?
17, but the issue I'm having is that my 32 MCAT is 3 years old and so it is valid at some schools such as LECOM, but other schools say that by the time I matriculate it will be 4 years old and therefore invalid. This splits my school list about half way and so im forrced to study for the new MCAT to complete my application at these other schools. It sucks because the new mcat is harder and I only gave myself 8 weeks to prepare because I found about this in mid june and I'm scheduled to take it on Aug 20th. I wont get scores till sept 20th and so i didnt want to wait any longer than that for fear that completing my application late would hurt my chances.
Haha I did horrible on the old one....19 retook the new one and did okay...but it is all basically biochem. Seriously. Know your biochem. I never took it before so I had to learn it myself. This is horrible anxiety inducing and stressful I know this is my second year applying to schools
Most of the questions on PS and Bio were geared towards bio chemistry. Know all the amino acids , structures, pH, 3 and 1 letter abbreviations. Biological pathways, literally everything. I used Next Step practice test and they were very accurate. The CARS section completely side swiped me. It was so much longer than any practice that is out. So I messed up on that cause I couldn't keep up. Psych is all vocabulary so get some note cards and start now.
Thanks man, i really appreciate it. I'm self studying and feel a little behind, not just that but I don't feel like I know things about the exam itself quite like other people. Your advice is much appreciated
I felt like that the entire way. It always seemed like people knew more. Best advice I can give you is buy the 6 practice test from Next Step take 1 exam per week and go over every question, take notes and review it almost everyday
If I were you, I would get off SDN until after the MCAT and focus on that, looking at these threads on and off to see who got IIs will add further unnecessary stress haha
) at this point take as many practice tests as you can, best of luck and try not to worry about this cycle since it is very early still!
From what I've read it can be a week to a year lol I think someone said there's still said that from last year
I will be travelling from NY. Still trying to find our a cheaper way. I am thinking of taking megabus to Buffalo, and renting a car from there. Or just driving down there.. For me, flight is too expensive to afford. When is your interview? may be we can do something together?II this morning!
Is anyone traveling from NY and know what's the best way to get to Erie? There are no direct flights, Amtrak only runs once a day to Erie, or an 8 hour drive.
Mine is on the 12th. Most likely going to drive from NY to Erie. Flights are too expensive and aren't direct flights.
Got another question if you are still willing to help?
So I was checking out the area today (Interview tomorrow). I was completely blown away by UPMC-Hamot and St. Vincent. Mill creek looks good but doesn't look as comparable. I reviewed previous threads and I know there has been a problem rotating students at these sites.
Can you comment on anything you've heard about this or have any idea if we can still rotate at these sites?
Thanks again
Oh my bad I thought II meant secondary. But I did get an interview invite this morning.
That is very disheartening
