Awesome! I'm OOS so it was the best date for me and I found the best deal for a plane ticket. Still have to figure out the hotel/transportation situation though.

Oh that's awesome! Do you think if you said November 15th they would figure you're not super interested? I'll probably say October 1st, but just curious..
I would hope not because some people simply just can't afford to put down that much money for a deposit off the bat and need a little extra time to save up. Plus, they must know that people are applying to other schools and most schools give you until Dec 15th to make a decision if you are offered acceptance prior to November 15th.
$1500 deposit if you get early accepted (sept 30)
$500 deposit for normal acceptance
Deposits go toward tuition
Where did you get that info from?
Online it says:
Matriculation Fee: $2,000
Nonrefundable fee due 30 days after receipt of acceptance. The matriculation fee is applied toward the tuition fee upon matriculation.
Interesting. I got that from my interview with them on Friday
Maybe they changed it? They've changed some things this year
Does anyone know how rotations at LECOM 3rd and 4th year work? Can you stay in Erie for the majority of your rotations? Or do you have to move away for the last two years?
I believe this was covered on the first page of the thread. From my understanding, there are a couple of sites that allow you to complete all rotations within the general area, aka "13". Otherwise, you may have to move around a bit across PA/NY. Most locations are in state if you review the clinical rotation list on lecoms website. Bradenton rotations are also instate but are more loosely developed than Erie/SH (from what I hear, living close to the campus).
You can move away

I'd rather stay put for third and fourth year as I have kids and my wife will more than likely be working. I don't want her to have to find a new job, would be easier if she could stay put with the kids for four years. Not sure if this is possible though...
See my post on the first page for details.
If you want to stay in one place for four years, your best bet is to pick the Erie campus for 1st/2nd year and then try to get Millcreek or St. Vincent for your rotation site. Millcreek isn't popular, and I'd imagine if you want it, you're likely to get it, although there's no guarantees with rotation site selection. Meanwhile, the Allegheny site nearest to Seton Hill is very popular since it's in an urban area and a lot of students are from Pittsburgh, so I wouldn't put all your eggs in the basket of picking Seton Hill and then not having to move.

So it's reasonable to stay in Erie for years three and four with maybe a few audition rotations out of town? Is the Millcreek rotation undesirable because of lack of variety or for other reasons?

How long did it take you all to receive the secondary?
It took me a week after I was verified and everything.
Thank you, I recently added LECOM so I wanted to know how long I would wait.
Mine was less than 5 days. it was very fast
Any Canadians receive a secondary?
I just submitted my application to this school for the second time. Fingers crossed!

Id be a little concerned if their system is sending orientation emails. Did you apply last cycle?

I got the orientation email too. Not gonna lie my heart skipped a beat when I thought I was accepted without even an interview. Are you guys replying to the email? I don't really know what to say...
Don't reply to it it's clearly a mistake... pretty sure everybody in their system got one. People that applied in 2016-2017 on the WL and such have one too
hmm
I am expecting they will send sorry email to all of us? I have one more year to graduate college so i can't just go to lecom lol..
Omg I would be devastated if I was on the waitlist and I got that email just to find out it was a mistake
+1 anyone going to call them? I was thinking about calling later today after work.

I'm going to email them back. Figured it would look like I'm not very interested in the school if I didn't respond to that at all
Positive thought: Maybe they meant to sent an interview invite email to us and accidentally sent the orientation email instead?
I did too and I was shook! ugh the tease
I submitted my secondary July 1st so it's almost going to be 3 weeks and it's still marked as "under review". About how long after you guys submitted your secondaries are you hearing responses? I thought generally we should hear something back within 2 ish weeks or maybe I am mistaken.

I definitely heard back months after I went through the app last year.

I've been under review since 7/3. Still no word either 🙁
Oh man okay I guess it may be a while then. I submitted the secondaries for pretty much all my DO applications, but I just recently got a DO letter uploaded to AACOMAS. I'm thinking if I should try to get in touch with the schools to let them know I had a DO letter uploaded so they can make sure it's added to my file. It's not required at any of the schools and I have already sent an MD letter to them all, but a lot of them say something like "DO letter preferred"
If you log into AACOMAS there should be an update application button...this automatically sends an update to all the schools you have applied to. I would think that would be the easiest/best way to notify them of your new letter
Okay, so today I got a email telling me to fulfill requirement before the orientation (have to fill out the essay). Problem is I am applying this cycle and not have an interview yet. I think they may have make a mistake. Should I contact them?
the orientation is for ms1 students matriculating this year. It's not applicable to us.
What do you think is the lowest mcat score that they will look at? I have a 3.5 GPA with lots of volunteering, shadowing, international trips and I'm currently a research assistant and working on a Masters degree. I sent in my secondary last cycle and never heard for an interview but I applied late (October) and was a SC resident. I'm not sure if that matters at all but now I'm a PA resident. And just submitted my application. Hopefully I'll get the secondary soon.
If i'm not mistaken they have a 500 cutoff.. could be wrong tho.
