I paid the full price (I forgot how much it was), but I didn't ask Mr. Murphy for a discount or anything. TBH I don't think they'll hook you up with oneDo we get a discount on the background check or do we have to pay the full $134?
Is our academic calendar available yet? I haven't seen it on the portal.
Yea it is. I just think of it as part of tuition, as a coping mechanism. I came from a large public school that had zero transparency when it came to the use of certain funds, so I just kinda got used to it.Just wondering. The price seems kinda steep.
I didn't enroll in it, but I also didn't have to show proof I was otherwise covered (like I did for undergrad)Is it mandatory to enroll in the student health insurance plan? My understanding is that it is mandatory, unless covered by spouse's or parent's plan.
I applied on 6/20 but my professor just wrote my letter and I mailed it out 7/21 so hopefully I'll hear back soon. It's getting pretty close.has anyone applied recently? i am wondering how long it usually takes for the admission office to review an application?

You get access to it while school is in session. And I gotta say, it's pretty sweet!As post bacc students do we get access to LECOM Medical Fitness and Wellness Center? Or would we have to sign up separately?
Nice, I can cancel my LA fitness membership.You get access to it while school is in session. And I gotta say, it's pretty sweet!

main campus
Just found out today that I was accepted (applied 6/29). Are there stats as to how many people (assuming you maintain the 3.0) get accepted into the fall med school class?
Hey everyone! Just got accepted and am really excited! My roommate and I are currently looking for a 2 bedroom apartment or house that allows my cat! Anyone know of any affordable places near campus that would allow him?
My folder is complete now but it's still 'under review"ohhh. im basically in the same boat as you. they sent out my letter on 7/21 too. has any documents appeared under Folder Items for you? cause nothing is listed for me yet, even though I know my transcript arrived.

I JUST saw that a decision has been made today! It's so nerve wracking. Good luck to you, I'm going to go wait by my mailbox now lol.i was under review also since 7/26. the status changed today to decision made! hopefully its good news.
did your status change also? since our letters went out at the same time.
Hi Everyone!
For those of you who are beginning the fall 2016 post bacc program, do you know where we can find our class schedule?
I checked the student portal but was unable to find it.
Thank you!
Sweet!There's a schedule available that is just start/end dates for the semester. At the open house they said they would try to have to schedule with which days we have which classes up by the end of July, so hopefully soon!
I emailed Maricely (the admin assistant for the post bac) and she said that they're hoping to have the academic schedule up on the portal by the end of next week.There's a schedule available that is just start/end dates for the semester.

First time posting. I just got my acceptance letter today!
So nervous about the classes and stuff though!!
Thank you!
Now I gotta figure out where I'm going to living
I believe it was made last Wednesday or Thursday. I was finally able to get my letter of recommendation in (professor had been out of the country at conferences) turned in last Monday or Tuesday. So it seems like they decided pretty quickly once I actually had everything in! The rest of my application had been complete since April. Jamie Murphy had emailed me saying they just needed the letter to make a final decision.
oh wow, it took a long time for the mail to come in. how did you stay sane from the long wait lol.
how are you gonna approach finding housing now?

lol whether or not you check that you want to be on the roommate list or not - you're going to be on the roommate list.Well. Once my application was totally complete (letter of rec got submitted finally), it only took about a week to a week and half for them to send the letter. I don't think that's too long of a wait all things considered.
I will admit, once I saw that online status change I was practically running to check the mail all week! Haha
As for housing. On the form they sent with the letter of acceptance, there's a checkbox saying you want to be put on the roommate list. I'm either going to try that or I'm going to hunt for a studio apartment. I've been looking at apartments online, but its hard to tell what's actually a good fit or not! I really really want a place within walking distance to campus. I'm from Texas, so I have very little experience driving in lots of snow. Plus, my car is kinda low to the ground, so I'm not sure how it'll deal with snow.
Thank you!

Also, unless you're looking at a house, there are (I think) 3 apartment complexes within walking distance. Laurel Ridge, Laurel Springs, and then the super nice Hammocks at Millcreek. From what I've gathered from others, most people end up driving every day, but when it snows (and it snows hard - lake effect snow), it's just easier to walk to campus
If you have a small pet (small dog/cat/bunnies) I recommend Tanglewood Apartments. It is in an extremely safe area, really quiet, great management, beautiful inside, and ALL utilities are included. 2 bedroom 1 bath, including all utilities and internet it's only $970 a month. Split that between 2 people, you're looking at less than $500 total per person. It's about 10 minute drive to campus, but I don't really think that makes much of a difference at the end of the day.
Btw...there are a TON of hills....everywhere.....you'll want snow tires for sure.
Me too!!! congratsJust found out I got in!
I just got my acceptance letter yesterday! Anyone still looking for a roommate?
Uhh looks like. I applied with a 3.0 (without grade replacement). Keep in mind if you do make an aacomas application and you make another one next year you might be classified as a reaplicant when you apply to DO schools. You would have to contact each school and let them know,"hey I am not actually a reaplicant."I want to apply next year but I want my GPA to be calculated with grade replacement.
I've read through this entire thread and it seems they will only calculate your GPA with grade replacement if set up an AACOMAS application and then send a screenshot of your GPA from there.
So would I have to apply to some random school with AACOMAS in the fall and then use a screenshot of that GPA for when I apply to this postbacc next spring?
i messaged you!I just got my acceptance letter yesterday! Anyone still looking for a roommate?
