2017-2018 LECOM

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Has anyone applied to the APAP program or had an interview?
Yes. I applied first thing this spring. Interviewed on the first of this month...was the only PA there that day interviewing, the rest of the applicants were traditional students/applicants.

Sorry I can't answer your question, but did you get a good vibe from the school that would make you want to not attend other interviews? I'm kind of on the fence about this interview and canceling it because everyone is saying what a terrible place LECOM is.

Unless you're sitting on an acceptance, go to the interview. If you finish it and decide LECOM isn't for you, that's fine-- not every school is for everybody and that's especially true for LECOM-- but it would be a shame to give up your shot at medical school based solely on internet rumors instead of personal experience.

How long does it take LECOM to send the secondary application?

It can take a couple days but I believe someone posted the portal link in this thread somewhere. Fill out a secondary there. There are some people that filled out and submitted a secondary before they got the official email. It's a questionnaire so it won't take long. Good luck!

If I am granted the fee waiver should I forward the email I received from AACOMAS to the admission?
 
Anyone else have it showing as no items received under the 'view folder items' button for LECOM Erie, but still received an interview?? I also got an email from LECOM - Brandenton asking for AIS scores even though I already sent them.

Lecom Erie said a while back to expect that. They said it will be all good to go before your interview. No worries, breathe. You got this.

I already interviewed and mine still says no items received. I called to confirm, and they have all my stuff. I guess they just never updated the portal.

I interviewed at Seton Hill 9/11. I wonder if it says the congrats thing for those that interviewed at Seton Hill and Thank you for those that interviewed at Erie.
 
Been complete since Aug 28th. 3.4 cum gpa 3.87 post bac gpa 511 MCAT. Was hoping my MCAT would make up for my lower cum gpa from 15 years ago... but getting worried now. Very non Trad student.

Erie does silent rejections, bradenton will notify you - if that helps. Consider also that GPA might not be the factor - maybe PS or extra curriculars, or maybe they just haven't gotten around to sending out more invites.

You haven't even been complete a whole month! Remember, thousands of people are applying. Patience 🙂
