There's always questions about rotation sites, so I'm quoting this post of mine from a previous thread.

I'm a 4th year, and I'm happy to answer questions about life at LECOM Seton Hill, but I can't answer WAMC questions or portal timeline questions.

Good luck!

LECOM-Erie/Seton Hill
THIS HAS BEEN EDITED SINCE THE ORIGINAL POST

Length at each site: all of 3rd year, 4th year depends on site

How is site determined?: match “lottery” organized by class government. One site reserved for GPA >3.0. GPA <2.5 are "alpha" and generally go to Elmira or Erie, although as of Class of 2019 there are additional sites with "alpha" spots. I've heard rumors that the alpha cutoff is going up to 2.8, but as of now this is not confirmed.

Do students have to set up their own rotations?: For electives, selectives and family medicine but not other cores.

Freedom to do rotations outside of designated site?: Yes for electives and family medicine. I'm not sure about selectives. Not for cores unless you're military (HPSP).

States/Sites:

Home Hospital: Millcreek Hospital/LECOM Health in Erie, PA

Residencies offered Many sites have some AOA and/or ACGME residencies associated with them-- number of residencies and which specialties is highly variable.

True Academic University Sites (Residencies): I guess-- Millcreek Hospital/LECOM Health in Erie, PA

Community Sites (Residencies): (a lot of these have residencies but I don't have details offhand)

Pennsylvania:
Allegheny Health Network - Pittsburgh
Aria Health - Philadelphia
Butler Health System - Butler
Clarion Hospital - Clarion
Conemaugh Memorial -Johnstown
Guthrie/Robert Packer - Sayer
Indiana Regional MC- Indiana
Meadville MC - MEadville
Memorial Hospital - York
Millcreek Community - Erie
Penn Highlands - Dubois
Pinnacle Health- Harrisburg
Saint Vincent HC - Erie
Uniontown Hospital - Uniontown
UPMC Horizon - Farrell
Washington HS - Washington

Ohio:
Adena Health System - Chillicothe
East Liverpool - East Liverpool
St. Elizabeth - Youngstown
UHS Cleveland East - Cleveland
UHS Cleveland West - Cleveland

New York:
Arnot Ogden- Elmira
Niagara Falls MMC-- Niagara Falls
Our Lady of Lourdes- Binghampton
Samaritan MC - Watertown
Sisters of Charity - Buffalo
St. John's Episcopal - Far Rockaway
St. John's Riverside - Yonkers
United Memorial MC- Batavia
WCA Hospital - Jamestown

California:
San Diego Regional - San Diego

Michigan:
Beaumont- Trenton

3rd year rotations: 3 internal medicine, 2 surgery, 1 family medicine, 1 geriatrics, 1 psych, 1 peds, 1 OB/GYN, 2 electives, 1 vacation
4th year rotation: 1 "clinical development", 3 electives, 1 surgery selective, 1 medical selective, 1 primary care selective, 2 emergency medicine, 2 ambulatory medicine, 1 rural/underserved, 1 vacation

Notables:
--most sites have a mix of hospital-based and outpatient rotations
--Many, but not all of these sites, are associated with residency programs. I'm not going into details by site because I don't know all of the details and don't want to spread misinformation.
--you rank your top six programs and top four schedules (out of 13 options) and student government attempts to balance student happiness with meeting clin ed's requirements. Some years this goes better than other years.
--if your site doesn't have a certain rotation (e.g. several locations don't have psych) you usually go to Millcreek for that month. Housing is provided.
--our schedules have been organized to have (pro) multiple elective months in the fall of 4th year for audition rotations and (con) a mandatory month in Erie for a geriatrics rotation 3rd year
--You can make limited changes to your schedule in fourth year to allow for extra auditions.

Mine has been under review for two weeks now.

Same here, I think Seton Hill might do their interviews later? I doubt if we expressed our interest there then we would go to Erie for an interview, what do you think?

I'm thinking the same thing. I'm assuming they are doing invites by geographic location first since it seems like the surrounding state/in state applicants have gotten interviews.

According to last years thread interviews at Seton Hill did begin later than those at the Erie campus, closer towards the end of July (the 27th I think?). Also with the trend being that they try to interview you at the campus you selected. So since SH hasn't begun giving interviews out according to the other LECOM thread, I thin we are all doing okay! 🙂

 

[vd0917]

This is currently my top choice school so I'm anxiously stalking all these threads guys

 

[Stuck on CCL2]

Anything yet?

 

[Vin Diesel333]

Anything yet?

Nothing on my end. Do you known when II's were sent out last year for Seton Hill?

 

[vd0917]

Anything yet?

Everything has been super quiet regarding LECOM-SH this cycle so far 🙁

They were sent out in July last year for mid August interviews I believe!

Gotcha, they're probably just running behind this year...i hope haha

According to the admissions site, it seems that their first round of Seton Hill interviews are on 22-Sept-17 with the next one being a month later in October. Maybe we just got a few more weeks before we hear anything?

You're looking at the interview schedule for affiliated college/early acceptance program participants. Not regular admissions!

 

[vd0917]

In the cycle before that they didn't give out SH interviews until August though, so I guess we'll see haha

Cool! Thank you, looks like we're on the same schedule.

Since they want letters after interview invite... Does that mean we need to send another way than through AACOMAS?

Thanks for answering my questions! You rock!
Do you know if LECOM will contact us if letter requirements are not met? (Long story short, but issues with a couple of other programs)
I also noticed that for LECOM-B they marked pre health comm and sci prof 1 met but not sci prof 2 in the "Folder" tab. However, I did not submit a pre health comm letter. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks in advance.

I do not believe they will contact you. I'd call them if you have questions. I find the Erie admissions personnel to be particularly friendly. And, there's actually a statement on the LOR portal document/Lecom website that states that if you do not have a committee, then you are to submit 2 science professor LORs.

If anyone is interviewing the 24th, I booked a hotel with 2 queens 3.5 miles from campus and a car from PIT. I'll be back at the airport by 8:00 pm on the 24th. Message me if anyone is interested in sharing costs/rides/hanging out. We'll talk!
