Congrats! Were you on the waitlist or the alternate list?

Thank you! I was on an “accept/hold” list, or the ranked waitlist in other words.

Interviewed at bradenton last tuesday (3/20)...portal says It was a pleasure interviewing you at LECOM Bradenton. The Admissions Committee will make a final decision on your application within 30 days and notify you of the decision. I was told that letters would be sen out monday (3/26). is there anyone who has had this portal status?

I interviewed 5/15 and my status is the same
So can you tell me if you got accepted after that or not and how long did they take to give you a decision

Has anyone heard if they expect to move through all of the ranked waitlist?

I called Ms. Ballinger last week about my status and she said “we always get through the ranked waitlist”. I wonder how many more people are on the ranked list.

I was accepted yesterday off of the ranked waitlist I'm so excited! If you're on the same list I'm sure you'll hear soon!

The insurance they want us to buy sucks a**. I use my own private insurance, I don't want to switch to their insurance.

Their insurance somehow is more expensive than my insurance, their insurance has a higher deductible, and the copayments to visit a specialist are ridiculous for their insurance!!!!!!

Also their out of pocket maximum is ridiculous. I don't want to switch over. How do I tell them that I don't want their crappy insurance that costs more than my current one? The only way it'll let you opt out is if you're a dependent... ugh.

Yeah I asked about that during the interview and I was assuming they had great insurance because of it. I would be pissed if I had private insurance but had to also buy their insurance for no reason. Do they even offer a ppo?

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a third female roommate for Yacht Club in Heritage Harbour. Rent will be <$500. Please PM me if you’re interested!!

(Yes I know there are roommate forums and an FB page but maybe newly accepted folk will look on here too!)

Anyone know if there has been any alternate list movement yet?

I feel the same. I called Ms. Kerris to inquire about whether there was any exception and her tone was so demeaning and rude. My own personal plan has a $0 deductible and low copays so it’s leaps and bounds better than the plan that they offer. Oh well! 🙁

I just called couple days ago and they will only pull students from the list if there is a withdrawal

 

[FP2013]

Anyone else have a number appear next to their name when you click View Admission Status? I just noticed it a few days ago

 

[Red_Alert]

I just checked my admission status and there is no number next to my name.
Are you on the waitlist or Alt-list?

I’m on the Alternate list

 

[Red_Alert]

If I were you , I would call Susan Ballinger and ask about this number.
I am also on the Alternate list and I don't have it.
It could be your ranked spot if someone withdraws or it could be nothing.

I called yesterday and was told only a handful are under consideration, myself being one of them. However, even then I was told that chances are slim because there has been little to no movement (1-2 people/week the last 3 weeks have withdrawn). They did mention in-state residents would be prioritized in the coming weeks if any spots open up.

Did you speak to Ms. Ballinger? Also are you in-state and on the alt-list or WL?

 

[Red_Alert]

Thanks for the update.
I hope that you get in , even though the chances are slim.

I spoke to her and Mr. Shively, and I'm in-state and on the alt-list. But I don't think they're distinguishing btwn the two lists anymore, since they finished the ranked list

No problem! Hope you're one of the few they're considering as well

Thanks for the info! Sent you a PM!

To those of you that interviewed, did any of you submit a letter of rec from your advisor versus a committee? Was this accepted?
