Sorry I think I fixed it! You have the same settings where no one can message you either so if you click on my profile there should be an option.
Gotcha. Well hopefully I get accepted! Sent in my video response this weekend. LECOM is currently my top choice. Thank you for answering all these questions in the thread!
As long as you’re even just average (sometimes less tbh), LECOM is great at giving some underdogs their chance.. l’m for one grateful for this. They definitely look past some of the numbers and see great potential. So best of luck! Pm me if you have any ?s.
We didn't have to do a video interview. From the time I submitted my application to my acceptance letter in the mail was 5 days
I have to be brutally honest...why not just take the MCAT again? There is nothing wrong with your GPA
Yes, I’ll PM you.
I hope its an acceptance ! When did you apply? and did they input all your requirements?Oh God, I had been keeping away from the portal but I checked today and it says a decision has been made. No clue when that status was put up as I never received an email regarding a status change. Fingers crossed its an acceptance
Applied March 9th and video interview submitted March 13th. I'm not sure what you mean by requirements. Is this something that shows in the portal after an acceptance?
Its in the Admissions Required Letters and Credits tab. I'm asking because I emailed them my resume and DL, but they only uploaded the DL on 03/24 and the resume was left as (not yet received/entered) :/ So I was not sure if they wait to review your application until they have all materials. I have yet to hear from the admissions committee and I applied March 5th...
Oh gotcha. I had already applied to the DO program and this was my backup. So my letters and transcript were already with them before I applied to the MMS. I would email them just to make sure they received it. I'd hate for you to wait only to find out it was a clerical error on their end. Besides its been 3 weeks so it would be fair enough to just double check with them that they have received your DL.
Thank you, will do ! I hope you get in 🙂
You as well! Good luck 🙂
This was earlier in the thread. This is also consistent with what I've read elsewhere. It sounds like LECOM does not turn down its own students as long as they meet requirements, display professionalism (don't get in trouble with the dress code, food policies, and the obvious behaviors), and don't absolutely toss the interview. I wouldn't assume the interview is a formality, you still should be serious about it, but so long as you are confident, seems like you'll be fine. @asa0009 correct me if I'm wrong.
Awesome. I can't wait; super ecstatic for this opportunity!!
This is right, and is very similar to first year medical school. If you do well there’s absolutely no reason why they wouldn’t want you. Of course if you do any of the above stated (get in trouble, are horrible in interview,etc) they of course have every right to not matriculate you. You are screened in the interview process the same as every other applicant from the general pool with group interview and individual interview. They aren’t going to go easy on you just because you’re in one of their programs.
This is true. This is a masters program. You do not need to have them to be admitted just like you don’t need an MCAT to be admitted to masters of public health or masters of education. People can do this program without wanting to go to medical school. However if you want to matriculate into the medical school you will need to have the required MCAT score by I think the last test they allowed was in Jan. So several people take the MCAT while they’re in the MMS program.
Technically yes but it’s not recommended. Quite frankly during your first year of medical school you can’t start in anything until after first semester. But after that there’s plenty of opportunities.
First day is August 10th
I did not apply to Bradenton. From what I know the two campuses operate independently, so their requirements may be due to slightly different coursework. Just guessing though.
I would definitely start. A lot of the good stuff goes pretty fast.
If I understand your question correctly, then yes. You can take the MCAT during the school year as well. If you're using AIS then that will be squared away prior to the school year beginning anyway. There's no gap year after the MMS. Students matriculate into the following class. If you start the MMS this August, you will begin medical school next August (all requirements met, of course).
I wouldn't worry too much to be honest. You can probably email if you don't hear back by Monday. I think due to the pandemic things are just taking a little bit longer.
Hi! I’m also wondering the same thing!
Yeah same here. Would love to get a head start. Great idea!
and am matriculating LDP-Erie this Fall. I always got a ton of help from prev students through these SDN posts so I want to return the favor. If you have any questions about Erie, LECOM, MMS, etc. please feel free to ask. I was looking around and someone from your class made a thread for the 2020-2021 program if y’all wanna hop over there and meet more future classmates!
