Figured I would start a thread for this years LECOM Post Bacc/Masters program. FYI recently found out that the Erie Post Bacc has made the switch to a Master of Medical Science.

Hello,
Where and how did you specifically here that the Erie Post Bacc has made the switch to a Master of Medical Science? Last I checked they did not do that. The Post Bacc and the Master of Medical Science are two separate programs.

Direct email from the admissions coordinator Mr. Jamie Murphy, I had applied some weeks earlier and received an update 1-11-19.

Well that is interesting to know. Do you mind send me the attachment Mr.Jamie sent to you? I would love to know why they changing it.
Congratulations on your acceptance! Wish you the best of luck!!Further update, accepted today with a cGPA 3.72, sGPA 3.64, MCAT 495.
Congratulations on your acceptance!! Do you mind sharing your stats? Also, yes everything you stated is correct. In order to matriculate into the medical school you would need to haven taken the mcat by then (it would be required). Don't fail any classes- the lowest you can get is a C w/out "failing". However i'm not sure on how rigorous the coursework is anyway. Guess it depends on the person, right?Hey everyone! I got my acceptance as well. I’m just trying to figure out the logistics of the linkage. Is it if you get above a 3.2, don’t fail any classes or get in trouble along with 40th percentile or 110 AIS score and acceptable interview you will matriculate into the medical school (or whatever school you prefer)? I know they can’t “GUARANTEE” but basically what the “guarantee” requirements are?

This should be in the post-bacc section not the Osteopathic School-Specific Discussions subsection ... all of the other ones are at the post-bacc. I dont think people will find this thread otherwise ... (just a thought!)Thread moved to the Osteopathic School-Specific Discussions subsection.

There is a few laying around, so I’ll go ahead and look into it! Thanks for the suggestion!
For 2019-2020 there are two now... one for LECOM-Bradenton-MMS and one for LECOM-Erie-MMS, which used to be a post-bacc (hence the "E" for Erie). 🙂 Would be nice to have them in one sub-section. Thanks! 🙂
Also accepted into this program recently, I was wondering if we had the option to go to Bradenton instead of Erie for the MMS?
This program seems pretty straightforward, get good grades, don't get in trouble, and have the required test score before and you're solid.
I'm debating between this program and a few other programs.

Also, no. The Bradenton MMS program you have to apply separately. They have their own requirements, admissions and process. Hope that helps!
They have recently switched the post bacc in Erie to be another MMS program.From reading through last years Post Bacc thread my general understanding is that for the Masters in Bradenton it is an entirely separate application, so my assumption would be it will be a separate application this year as well. But as always you can email Mr. Murphy for a direct answer, he is extremely responsive to any and all questions.
My stats are 3.8 gpa 3.6 science gpa. Had a terrible MCAT (didn’t know you didn’t get a calculator dumb me lol) but I used my AIS score which was a 118. I’m confused on if AIS is eligible considering you can use it to regularly get into the med school don’t see why it wouldn’t apply here as well through the linkage but getting mixed signals. I’m going to call Jamie tomorrow to verify.Congratulations on your acceptance!! Do you mind sharing your stats? Also, yes everything you stated is correct.

The MCAT is seemingly my worst enemy. I do very poorly on standardized exams. I’m taking an MCAT prep course and retaking it in March but if I don’t get a good score I’d like to use this as a fallback to know I can have a seat somewhere even if I go an extra 40-50k in debt lol.With your stats, I would just retake the MCAT and apply directly to M.D and OD schools. Your stats are great! Why are you doing this program? Just bc of the low MCAT score? You could retake in May and reapply - I am sure you will get in. At least from what I see ... 🙂
Can you please send it to me too? Do you know if the tuition will increase like the Masters in Bradenton?
Yes it did, it is like the Masters in Brandenton.Can you please send it to me too? Do you know if the tuition will increase like the Masters in Bradenton?
No, you cannot review it online, you would have to wait until the letter comes in the mail. I believe it usually comes within a week or so. What were your stats/resume if you don't mind me asking?Is there any way to view your admission decision online? Or we just wait until we receive the letter in the mail? I received an email this morning saying the admissions committee has made a decision but cannot find anything in my portal.
Does this program offer an MCAT prep as well? Does anyone know what the minimum score is to matriculate into the DO program? I PMed you @KalisMedGirl

Oh wow! I know they used to say 50th percentile was competitive but you only needed a 497 to apply or something like that. It was only 40th percentile to apply this year, but maybe the change is for next year.They recently pushed it to 50th percentile now.
I'm still waiting on my formal letter in the mail. For anyone who was accepted did the letter outline next steps? Like orientation or what documents they may need from us?
Also, could I submit my application then put my personal statement in at a later time?Hello everyone,
So I am currently applying as well for the Masters program (dental track). Just wanted to ask, how long were people's personal statements? I don't want to do too much or too little.
Hello everyone,

Ok so when I submit the application, just to be clear, there will be a folder with tabs like for personal statement, letters of rec etc?Roughly a single page single spaced I believe was the most common? I kept mine to roughly that based on opinions of others. The directions on that are ambiguous due to the mention of "scrolling" however that seems to change depending on screen size and browser adjustments.
Also in regards to the Q on the personal statement, it requests it in the first part of submitting to get the ball rolling. So you (unless told otherwise) need to do it once the application appears in your portal (after you submit the inquiry). After you submit it, you then get the folder items in.
Before I saw this thread mention the program being merged, I applied to both the post-bacc and the master's (and the master's in Bradenton). Fairly trivia in the greater picture, but if the programs are being merged, why are we still allowed to pay and submit an app for the post-bacc? I find that odd as it makes more juggling of submission of letters and other required materials, and one could essentially double apply as I did.
