They are probably sending you the secondary on the condition that you finish all required requirements before matriculation.
and good luck to everyone this cycle!!How strict are they with the "no MCAT section score below 125"? My score will probably be a score of 505-509, but I may have a 124 in c/p.
For lecture it's not! And I personally think they try to consider GPA and MCAT evenly. I had an average MCAT score, based on LUCOM's stats from previous admissions. And my GPA was a 3.6. I think my essays caught their attention the most though. I love the school's mission.
Well I applied with the old MCAT, but I can still give you some great news. On one of the sections, I scored below their recommended level (got a 7 instead of an 8). Because of this, I didn't receive a secondary application. The school sent me an email saying that I did not get past the initial screening, but they would have a committee review my app in 30 days to finalize their decision. They must have changed their minds after taking a closer look at my app (and personal statement) and I got the secondary! Immediate interview. And acceptance call the next week.
Did they send you an invite today??Got an interview invite! Will be there August 29th. Anyone else going then? I'm very excited

Yeah in general for christian schools they admit non-christians, as long as your secondary answers their question. Can be faith based or not.
Dang that gets me worried. If you dont mind me asking, what were your stats and were you instate?
Called LECOM. Got a quick email reply saying my test scores are showing as N/A. Called AACOMAS next and apparently AAMC hasn't sent my MCAT information even though it was checked off on my application.
I did do that, but it was last cycle when I did not finish the application. So it was either over a year or the score release did not carry over from the previous cycle. No big deal but thanks for clarifying as this completely slipped my mind!
Do you know where the schools is at concerning 3rd and 4th year rotations? Which sites are available?
Oh...and why is there no mandatory attendance for anatomy labs?
Sorry I forgot about anatomy lab so I will update that in my post. It's mandatory unfortunatelyOh...and why is there no mandatory attendance for anatomy labs?
How are interviews performed? Any information on rotations? Are they ward based? I understand you're not at that point just yet, but maybe you have some info to share.
Also, in general at what level is your satisfaction with the school's curriculum? I understand every new school has some hiccups, and I'd like to hear how you feel about it all
Thank you!

Sorry for the late response. Yes, talking about your faith even if it is not Christian is fine. They are very open-minded. I don't know how they would react to an essay about applying atheist values to the school tho.
