I don't think you need to. On the Casper site you can just add LUCOM to your list of schools and they will send your scores to them directly

I was on mobile. Thanks
I'll be there on 9/17 too!
Nice! So excited.
I remember that mine went to my junk mail for some reason. If it isn't there after a month (I know, it sounds like a long time, but you'll be fine), then I'd contact the adcom and tell them you're really interested in the school. Last I heard, we've already had 1800+ applications, so the turnaround might be longer than expected.
I would give a grade of 85% on quality, and again it would be higher but my class is still going through those growing pains and working things out, so it should be even higher should you attend. LUCOM staff really works hard in real time and adapts things to help the students, they are very supportive. The only reason I don't give it higher is because of a particular physician I was stuck with for an entire month that was really bad (this was the case for every student with that physician, and again, those things get filtered out and made better as years go on). LUCOM offers multiple sites in multiple states including VA, PA, Indiana, Texas, and others where you can attempt to select to spend your entire 3rd year (3rd year is spent for the whole year in 1 LUCOM affiliated and run site), in addition to the option of staying home in Lynchburg for your entire 3rd year (which is what I did). 4th year, you can travel all over the country as 4th year is basically set up by you, and even the world in multiple countries where LUCOM has rotations set up, or you can stay in Lynchburg and a coordinator helps set up your Lynchburg rotations.
you can read my post to basically this same question around July 18. New medical schools all receive accreditation right before they graduate their first class, a formality. The match rate for that class was 98%
Does this include Latin American countries??
I heard that LUCOM had a school dance with an open bar last year, and students were allowed to drink? Does LUCOM just put up a hard front, and then let you do whatever you want? If so, I think I’ll be more interested in going there, knowing that they won’t be micromanaging.
I know someone that attends LUCOM and they said ~12 people had to remediate, not counting those that flunked out completely (around 8 more). That’s what, almost 15% of the class that couldn’t make it through the first year? I wonder how many will actually graduate...
@Jjilikers , is that necessary?
Interviews start on 09/10 and occur 3-4 times per week until March, omitting our fall & winter breaks.
Why were they rude? Explain?
This was well said. The school has flaws, but all of them do. One thing that I love about LUCOM is that they aren't afraid to change and try new things. Sometimes those ideas don't work out, but instead of being stubborn, LUCOM will see that the efforts were not fruitful and try another course of action. So yes, there are still growing pains, but I believe that this school will continually get better because they are open to change. I'd rather have complaints that I see being fixed in later years than having the same issues as the classes that came before me.
