Has anyone that has completed the LECOM Post Bacc program been granted admission into an MD program?
Anyone who's been rejected willing to share stats?

Yea I don't have a good trend. I generally just had crappy grades (b average) throughout undergrad. If I didn't have research i wouldn't hit the 3.0 markAnyone get in with a downward trend in grades?
Can you please post the link to the fb page?Join the fb page! There are some people looking for roommates I think.
Just search for lecom post bac 2016-2017
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 guess it would be similar to the average ages of med school. I met some people in their 30s and one guy in his 40s, but the majority were early 20s/recently graduated from undergradwhat's the average age of students in this porgram?
Did anyone receive a student email yet??
If anyone needs an apartment, message me. I am not longer attending the program
If you dont mind me asking, why did you decide against it?
I got accepted to medical school
how old are you if you don't mind me asking?
Student loan refund checks are available 14 days after Sept 7 (start of semester), but my rent is due Sept 15. Anyone else having this issue or am I misunderstanding something?
Thank you for replying. I just remembered that I payed prorated rent for Aug 26 - Sept 14 upfront. My next rent is due Oct 15.That probably means you have to pay your rent out of pocket before you get your reimbursement check.
Thank you so much for this!To those that got in:
Good luck in the post bac program! Study hard everyday but also develop meaningful relationships and make sure you have time for yourself. You don't want to burn out during the post bac program and you're all in this together. Remember to keep your head low during this program because the main thing is for you all to get into med school (don't do anything stupid).
If you have any questions, feel free to message me. I'm not at Erie's campus anymore, but my post-bac classmates will be and they'll have a multitude of information for you guys.
I mean ThursdayThank you so much for this!
It's really kind for you to think of us.
What is orientation like? There is a full day of orientation on Wednesday. I'm just surprised they would need that much time.
I mean Thursday
Will we need to bring a book bag, laptop or notebooks?Orientation is going to suck. It's all administrative stuff. Make sure you guys know where your heart is for the pledge of allegiance (we got chewed out for this last year) and don't laugh during the God Bless America video.
Hey everyone,
Looking into this program, but don't have the MCAT for the entrance requirement (493 instead of 495). I received an interview to the DO program last year tho through the AIS. I was wondering if we could use that for our acceptance into the postbacc as well as acceptance into the medical school class the following year if we get the 3.0 in the program. I remember browsing the forums last year and they said anyone with a 3.0 in the program is guaranteed an interview and "basically" accepted to the program. I was wondering if any of that has changed.

I'm currently in the post bacc at Erie. You DO NOT need an MCAT score for acceptance into the DO program if you are accepted with your AIS into the post bacc. Once you're in the program, all you have to do is get the 3.0 (and not act like an idiot) and you're pretty much guaranteed in MS1 the following fall. I used my MCAT score to get in here, but my roommate never even took it and he's tops in our class.
How difficult is the program vs undergrad? Vs the actual MS1 year?

I am also in this years post bacc program (your class). How do you know the ranking system of our class. just curious...
Hey, do guys happen to have any information for the dental track students? I know they also have to get over a 3.0, but is it more difficult to get in even after they have the interview?
I don't know about how difficult it would be post-interview, but I do know that the interview is not in-person. I think it is via skype with instructors from the Bradenton campus.
Oh that's interesting. I heard that they may be saving seats for both the dental and medical track students, but I can't get a concrete answer.
Dang. Good for him! What's the secret? Lol.I don't know the ranking system (although there definitely is one). I'm just pretty sure no one has better grades than him. I think his lowest is 97 or 98%.
I can't attest for the MS linkage, but basically if you get the 3.0 in the post bacc, show up to class on time, and have a good interview, you are "guaranteed" a seat the next year.Does this program offer better linkage than the MS?
Also, this program takes the AIS score right?

They only guarantee an interview, not a seat. But, as you said, you get a 3.0 and give them no reason to not accept you, then your golden.I can't attest for the MS linkage, but basically if you get the 3.0 in the post bacc, show up to class on time, and have a good interview, you are "guaranteed" a seat the next year.
