Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) Discussion Thread 2016-2017

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Me. But I also just interviewed last week

Ok thanks! I interviewed last week, too. I was panicking that I accidentally chose Regular Decision.

Anyone put Early Decision but not have a change on their portal? Mine still says "Congrats. You have been selected for an interview."
uhhh it was supposed to change after your interview to say "thank you for interviewing. you will be notified when the adcom has made a decision."

If you interviewed at SH it says "Congrats..." until the committee makes a decision.

Yea I am just ready to hear! I saw you interviewed at Seton Hill? What did you think?
I interviewed at Erie but am really into PBL so I ranked Seton Hill #2

I loved it! The undergraduate campus is really beautiful, and all of the faculty and staff were very friendly. I am actually from Florida, so I expected it to be similar to LECOM-B but found that it was a much more relaxed environment.

Great! On my drive back home, I stopped on the campus. It is beautiful. Didn't get to the see facilities though unfortunately.

But compared to Bradenton, I can imagine the cost of living is much less.
 
Just saw that my portal changed. Now it says "The Admissions Committee has made a decision on your application. You will receive an official letter in the mail within 30 days."

LECOM-B appears to give off a more strict vibe judging from posters on SDN, but IIRC their tuition is lower but with COL it could be higher for all I know.

Curious...is that good news or bad? Have read on previous years that this message is not good news. Wonder if any accepted students received this message.
 
I've been calling my parents every morning to see if there's a letter in the mail for me because I'm out of town currently lol. But I thought that if we got accepted they're not mailing letters out until September 30th? So even if the status changed, they might not mail the letters out until Sept 30th.

Last years thread mentioned the letters were post marked on the decision day or the day before .

It would be nice if we could fast forward to next week

This is my biweekly-ish reminder that the Portal timing means nothing. And I'm not convinced the various renditions of the post-interview message mean anything. Hang in there!

Not a fan of snow lol. Scheduled interview late in the year and hoping for an acceptance closer. Will happily give the II to someone else if I'm accepted elsewhere.

Too many draconian rules. "okay" match list. But it is still better than the carribean and the tuition costs are really low.
