WELL THEN... this chat just got really awkward really fast lol! As a current student, here’s what I’ll say to all of this:
Not everyone who applies to LECOM does it as a “gimme in hopes to get better offers.” This school was in my top three and I’m here. So yes, there are plenty of people who want to be here! To those who didn’t get the results you wanted, I’m so sorry. I know this process is hard, but it is a part of life that you don’t always get what you want, unfortunately. No matter what happens at the end of this cycle, please keep going and don’t give up. I’m sure where ever you end up, you’ll be a great dentist! As others have stated, LECOM is a great school and has its positives and negatives just like every other dental school, but let’s keep this thread upbeat please. I understand this process is frustrating, but I hope you can try to see the positive in your situation, whatever that may be. There are plenty of applicants who spent thousands of dollars who didn’t even get an interview this cycle. Please count your blessings to even be selected for one, and realize there are people reading who wished they were in your shoes, whether that is the waitlist or even an interview. Trust me when I say that your day will come, and I promise you will end up where you were meant to go! Moving forward, can we please keep this thread on topic and professional.
