I have a friend who graduated from Erie who visited the school this past week and spoke highly of me but they said that they didn't have a file for me even though I've been complete since Oct 31. I wonder if that means if I am just waiting for a rejection letter? I just got a rejection letter from LECOM-B yesterday. This application cycle has been depressing.
I'd keep an eye on the portal. If they send a pre-interview rejection, you should see a portal change to something like "you should receive the decision within xx days".
I think you're fine, just wait and see.
Can anyone speak to how the way you rank pathways affects your acceptance? I know I initially read it doesn't but at the interview it seemed that you are evaluated based on that pathway.
According to them, the rankings have no bearing on acceptance. You are accepted first and then they look at the ranking. Only adcom memvers would know if this was completely true.
I got my letter today about 3 weeks after I interviewed and I am an alternate. Does anyone know what kind of movement the alternate list has?
LECOM usually has a lot of movement, but you might not hear anything for a few months.
Does anyone know the policy to defer acceptance for the next year?
Unless it has changed, they don't allow deferals. Contact them to be sure.
been complete for about 3 months now. LECOM-B rejected me after like a week. should i take this as a silent rejection or just hope that they are waiting till after people put their deposits in?
They are waiting for deposits and will be calculating out how many spots they have left. Unfortunately at this point its a waiting game. Don't read too much into the LECOM-B rejection, they have completely different admissions. To give you an idea, I was rejected from LECOM-B the same week I was offered an interview in Erie.
Has anyone recently been accepted to the lecture pathway? I just got my DO recommendation in (about 4 weeks after my interview) and am wondering what the situation is like.
LDP is usually the last to fill up. Its possible they have already offered all the acceptances they can, but that is a dynamic process as deposit deadlines are constantly passing, so seat availability is changing.
Submitted my secondary 12/2. I received an email 12/2 saying they received my secondary. I received an email 12/9 saying that my secondary had been processed and I could check my status on the portal site. I have not heard anything since.
Are there any chances I still may be up for an interview?

Current students: do you sense a general attitude among the student body as reflected on the website posted by this banned user? (

I'll be attending lecom-sh in the fall, and I hope not...lol?...
The administration is tough, strict, constantly monitoring you, and there are lots of rules. Beyond that, I like LECOM. Most rules are not any more overbearing than rules in pretty much any job I've ever had.
The education (pre-clinical - which is all I know) is solid and grading tends to be fair enough most of the time (as if pre-clinical grades even matter).
The price is amazing, and it was the least expensive school I applied to. The students are great, and I don't really feel that competitive tension that pre-meds have.
As long as you pass and keep your head down, its really fine. If you don't think you can handle the rules or don't like the idea of having security cameras around you while in school, then you might want to reconsider your school choices.
Occasionally some things with exams are annoying, but unless you are obsessing over it, you complain about it briefly to your friends and then its over. I personally find cold weather more annoying than the rules, but I've worked in the real world before, so I guess I'm used to them.
