I have interviewed at both schools and really liked both. I'm having issues deciding. I learn best via conversation, talking things out. So the Lecture style at VCOM versus the PBL at LECOM isn't as cut and dry a choice. In the lecture, I am listening for hours. In PBL I am reading all day...

I heard that in LECOM 3rd year - one has to take the rotation, and then shelf exam and then also an internal exam worth 20% of marks. Has anyone heard that? Is that a good practice? Has the rotation issue been all sorted out at LECOM - Erie? Seems form other posts that there used to be an issue...

Ask me anything, I am glad to help with any questions you have of LECOM.

Hey guys! Haven't seen a thread for this yet so figured I'd start one. Has anyone else applied for the post bacc yet?

I have an interview in February at the Bradenton campus and was wondering if there were any current students or applicants that had anything to say about the school/interview process positive or negative?

I just got an interview at the Bradenton campus scheduled for February. Does anyone have a link for an interview thread for LECOM or know what the interview will be like?

Since the beginning of December, I've been in a bit of a bind. I received acceptances to VCU, LECOM, and Nova. Obviously, only one of them can be chosen, but I suppose it would be best to get other opinions. Despite being a Florida resident, VCU seems to be the cheapest option since LECOM and...

Hi all, Recently accepted to LECOM-B. Curious about the quality of rotations as of 2017 (and if anyone knows if it's improving). I'm determining quality by likelihood of getting out of the Bradenton area, and into a decent hospital. If anyone can share ideas on which sites are available/good...

Hey everybody, I've been an long time on/off lurker here but I need your help and wasn't sure who else to turn to, this late in the game! I've been accepted at TouroCOM Middletown (I was part of their master's/postbacc program) and even put in the deposit. However, I just got off the wait list...

What do you suggest I do or ask during the LECOM open house to show them I am interested in medicine?

I was wondering if anyone had any input to help me make a decision between COMP-NW in Lebanon, OR and LECOM-Seton Hill in Greensburg, PA. Originally, COMP-NW was my first choice because I'm from Washington state and it would be nice to stay in the Pacific Northwest, but I was put on the...

Hi :') I wanted to start a list of alternates for this cycle to vent our frustration or excitement if we don't hear or do hear from them. I called today and I was ofered and alternate position and my admissions satus changed to "The Office of Admissions received confirmation of your position on...

Hey guys! I was invited to interview at LECOM for their EAP program, and I am planning on doing it in a couple of weeks. For those of you who have interviewed for any of their EAP programs, how long did it take for LECOM to notify you of acceptance/rejection? Thanks in advance!

I'm a longtime lurker, first time poster. I applied to dental schools for the first time this year and was looking for some advice on what to do to improve my application if I have to reapply in June. I graduated from UF with a 3.89 GPA last year but didn't take my DAT till the end of July, so...

Fortunately, I've been accepted to both Wayne state and LECOM schools of pharmacy. Unfortunately, I have no idea where I want to go. There are pros and cons to both schools For one, I live about 10 minutes away from Wayne State and about 3 and a half hours from LECOM. Wayne state is a more...

Hello, I recently was accepted to the Erie campus of Lecom and am in the preliminary stages of looking for places to live. Can anyone recommend places or areas to avoid? I've heard the east side can be rough but I've also heard conflicting things about areas closer to the lake (North West) and...

Hey everyone, I'm currently a Florida resident getting my undergrad degree at USF in Tampa. I am wondering if someone could explain how the PBL structure works, as well as how the rotations work at LECOM-B? My main question is time in class/on campus, because if I go to LECOM-B I would prefer...

I am at a bit of a cross roads. I have only gained acceptance to one dental school so far and its LECOM. I got my acceptance early January so its almost time for me to submit my deposit to hold my seat. That being said, I don't know if I want to go there. I have read a lot of negative things...

I have been accepted to both schools and I am trying to decide which one to go to. From a lot of what I have heard, seeing how the 3rd and 4th years are structured should be considered when making a decision on schools. I'm looking for some genuine responses with cons as well as pros. I know I...

Hey everyone! I started this thread due to not finding any related for this current cycle. My application for this cycle is currently under review, but I am hopeful. I was accepted last cycle, but unable to attend due to graduation issues. I was surprised though because I had read a lot of...

Hello all, Can a current student confirm that the rotation sites listed online (link below) are up to date? Are there more sites available in NY? Thank you for your help, enjoy your breaks...

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, but I'm currently in the Master of Medical Science program at LECOM. We have the same guidelines as the post bacc students (get 3.0 or better in the fall semester and don't fail any classes), which if are met will grant us an interview at...

I need help deciding what to do! My deposit for Shenandoah is due on Thursday. I really liked the school and the area, but I don't know if it's my number one choice. I interviewed at LECOM last week and really like it there as well. The admission people at LECOM said they start sending out...

Hey guys! I recently interviewed at the school and was thoroughly impressed! I couldn't find any recent thread on the subject so I made a new one here. Can anyone comment on their experiences with rotations? I've heard some mixed reviews and would appreciate more input before I make up my mind...

Hey guys! I have an pharmacy interview at LECOM-Erie next week. (11.1.16) I'm really nervous! Has anyone already interviewed with them already? If so, how did it go for you? Did you hear back right away if you were accepted or not?

Hello guys: Have anybody been accepted into this program with a low 3-3.1 GPA. Also, please share your experience on the difficulty of the classes in the program, because I did notice that they make you take about 6 courses per term. Thank you

I've already applied, anyone else? I have a lot of information on it if you have any questions.

I have been through quite a few forums that speak very negatively about LECOM-E experience but many seem to be from grad years around 2010. What is the big deal? Is the education that poor? Is there any alum from last year or two years ago that can attest to the rumored atrocities associated...

I am currently a Junior in high school interested in this program. I would like to participate in the Dental school EAP, however, is it worth it? The requirements are i believe maintaining a 3.4 sgpa, and a 16 on the DAT. The minimum requirements to be considered into this program are a 26ACT...

Hi all, I've just finished my sophomore year of undergraduate, and am starting to look into medical schools that I would be interested in applying to. I just found out that my college, in the last 3 months, started a early acceptance program with LECOM. I am very on the fence about this...

I am finishing up my spring semester of sophomore year in undergraduate school, and I am in the early assurance program affiliated with LECOM-Erie. I will be attending LECOM DO school in the fall of 2018. I was wondering if anyone has been kicked out of the early assurance program before...
