Hi, I got accepted to both and still unsure where to attend. Does anyone know the exact cost difference between the two programs and experience with the in-person commitments? Also, does anyone know the orientation date(s) for LECOM this year for the distance program? And please no negative...

Hello All, I am currently in my first semester at LECOM. I have been having a really terrible experience here. The curriculum is terrible with ridiculous scheduling for exams. In addition, their PBL program is practically set out to make a good amount of students fail and end up in their...

I would be grateful to your wisdom/understanding. I am a high school senior and I applied to LECOM EAP. My stats are good (I think) 4.8 weighted/4.0, 31 ACT, I have been volunteering withe convalescent seniors in hospital settings for past 8 years in various roles. I have the...

I interviewed around 45 days ago with LECOM Erie. I have not heard anything back. I heard that decisions are sent via mail. I check the admission status on the website daily but there is no update. I heard some people see some sort of update in the system. Should I send an email to admissions? I...

Great location with walking distance to hospital (0.7 miles) in a quiet neighborhood! Cheaper and convenient place to do your away rotations in a Level 1 Trauma Hospital in a community setting! You will have your own bedroom complete with a fully-furnished double bed, dresser, and nightstand or...

Hello, What are these programs actually like? The pre-matriculation modules seem pretty long, are they necessary? - Are the classes able to be recorded? - Is attendance actually "mandatory" or can you study on your own time? - How well would you rate the curriculum overall? - How are the...

I have been blessed to have been accepted to not one, but two dental schools. I will be forever grateful for this, but now I must make one of the most stressful decisions of my entire life, Temple vs LECOM. I just got accepted to both Temple dental and LECOM dental very recently, now I must...

Hey all, going to be doing an SMP to help boost my GPA and gain acceptance into medical school. Right now, I am accepted to all SMPs listed in the title and I need help weighing the Pros/Cons of each program. Now considering my age and situation, I would *prefer* to get into med school asap...

I've recently been accepted to LECOM Erie PBL pathway. What time of day are the PBL sessions and do they change weekly?

Hey everyone! I'm applying to LECOM's DMD program this application cycle, and I submitted everything pretty early (early/mid-June) along with all of the supplemental applications. However, I just checked my LECOM application portal, and it still says that my letters of rec are "Not Yet...

Hello, I need some advice. I was fortunate to be accepted to both LECOM's and ARCOMS masters program. However cannot decide between the two. Both of these programs have matriculations into their respective med schools if Fall requirements are met. From my research, this is what I've gathered...

Hi! I was recently accepted to LECOM Elmira and am excited! I was hoping for some feedback from current students about what they like about the school, advice, housing, literally anything! Thanks again!

LECOM Distance pathway class of 2025

Thought I'd create a quick thread for LECOM alternate/waitlists since it seems like loads of people are on it and the general thread is getting pretty long. While we wait for movement, maybe we can share where we're waitlisted? and if we're on the waitlist or alternate. Alternate at LECOM SH...

First time on here! Any advice on early admission apps?

Hi! I’m honestly super confused about LECOM and med school in general, so I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I‘m a 24 year old non-traditional Pre-Med (so bio) major anout to finish my first semester of my sophomore year. I have ~700 hours of “shadowing”, but this was...

Hi everyone! 2015 LECOM School of Pharmacy grad here, with a 4 bed 2 bathroom house for rent. Only about 50 steps away from the parking lot of campus (closer than Laurel Springs across the street)! We just recently purchased my life-long best friend's house, and are getting things...

I started a thread for the LECOM Erie (3 year) Pharmacy class of 2023. I received my acceptance on 09/25/2019. Feel free to post questions/comments. Please no negative/derogatory statements/comments or you will be flagged. I started up a Facebook group: Log into Facebook | Facebook

This is a new LECOM school opening in Elmira NY. Does anyone know how the rotation sites are or if they have any input on the pros and cons of this campus? Should I apply to a more reputable location like LECOM-erie, Pennsylvania or should I apply to this new york campus? not sure what to do.

I know LECOM Elmira set a goal to start 2020, and I assumed it would be like LECOM-B and involve a separate application. Anyone know if there is word about a common application (as Erie and Seton Hill are combined)? Or better yet, any word that there were indeed no delays and will open on...

I'm sort of at a crossroads here and I'm not sure what my next move should be in terms of preparing for my dental school application. Any advice/tips is greatly appreciated... Undergraduate GPA: ~3.1 (I had one semester where I really f*cked up, for various reasons. I had 3 F's and a W this...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if I could get some general advice on my situation. I have a number of conundrums. Any constructive advice is most welcome. Thank you! My Stats: B.S. in Biology from University of Wisconsin Madison (2017) Certificate (Minor) in Classical and Near Eastern...

Hi everyone, I've been blessed to have been accepted to both programs for the fall of 2019. I'm trying to decide for sure which acceptance I want to take and would appreciate any thoughts anyone would like to add. I am leaning towards PCOM for many reasons at the moment. Would appreciate any...

Hello! I'm a current MMS student and most likely going to go the LECOM-B next year, because of the conditional acceptance that's tied into the masters. Just to clarify the 3rd year the school sets up your rotations for you and they are going to be your core rotations. 4th year you pick elective...

https://lecom.edu/content/uploads/2018/08/LECOM-2018-Match-Report-updated-8-1-18.pdf This is the most recent match results for 2018. I see that a decent percentage of students matched into allopathic residency positions. Does LECOM have a history for putting student into a good position to...

Hello everyone, I am a rising junior and am currently on the fence about LECOM's Early Acceptance Program. The program would guarantee me a seat at the school as long as I finish the required classes and keep the gpa at the level they want. However, the program also requires that I do not take...

Hi! I'm a fresh LDP Medical student at LECOM, and i'm absolutely terrified. I just need some advice. And to know I'll be okay. I want this so, so bad. And i'm so scared I'll lose it. I want to be a doctor. I've wanted to be a doctor for a long, long time. And I don't want to fail. It's my...

Hey, I was hoping to make a thread specific for coordinating some travel expenses together for hotels, transportation, etc. I guess I'll start off by noting that I am interviewing on 8/16/2018, and am interested in splitting a room with one or more people to minimize costs.

hi, I am reading that others recieved an interview offer for LECOM SH where they got to pick a day in August they wanted. However, I got offered an interview about 2 weeks ago and they automatically told me to come 7/20. I’m wondering why my experience was then giving me an exact day this...

I have a 3.1 GPA and I scored 80 on the PCAT. What are my chances of getting accepted to LECOM's distance pathway? Should I retake the PCAT and try for a better score?

does anyone know if LECOM requires a DO letter post interview? It was mentioned years ago on an old thread but there website says it is not required.

Hi all. Was hoping to start a conversation about LECOM for those of us planning to apply during the upcoming cycle (summer 2018 start). I am coming at it from the perspective of a non-traditional student looking at the distance pathway, but would love to hear conversation from all sides.

I applied to LECOM last year, to start this year, and got a rejection e-mail. I decided to apply again this year (to start next year, 2019). I completed the AACOMAS application, and got verified, a few weeks ago (in May). Well, today I received an e-mail from LECOM telling me to submit a...

Which is better?

Hey guys it's that time again! To everyone applying to LECOM, good luck and I'll see you guys on the interview trail! LECOM begins interviewing in July* and conducts most of their interviews from September through January with smaller waves from January through March Acceptances typically go...

Hello everyone! Does anyone have any recommendations or tips for PBA? I think I will be accepted to be part of 2022 class. I’m between PBA, NOVA and LECOM. Which one is better?

Hello everyone, I have a decision to make and that is to attend LECOM-B Pharmacy's program or FAMU's pharmacy program. I only applied to these two schools and kind of limited myself but since these are my options now that I was accepted to both, I am not sure which school is best. Obviously FAMU...
