Accepted today!! By the way, quick note from my interview day experience and my time in the town.... I was beyond impressed. I honestly did not have this school high on my list, but it quickly shot up to my top D.O. school. I found the city of Lynchburg incredible compared to many of the other towns I have explored during my other interviews. It's not too big and not too small and it seemed to have everything that people of all types and personalities would enjoy (outdoorsy activities, shops, restaurants, etc.). I personally love college towns and with several other colleges also in Lynchburg, it really fit that mold for me. The school itself was also great! It's separated from the undergrad institution so you don't have to deal with parking crap, BUT it's close enough (a couple of minutes) that you aren't isolated from the rest of the students. Facilities were excellent... nice libraries, study rooms, anatomy lab, lockerroom with showers, and everything looked brand new (because it all basically is). But the most important thing, at least to me, was the people that I met there. I've been on several interviews before going to LUCOM, but the faculty and even the students all seemed to deeply care about, not only each other, but us applicants interviewing that day as well. It wasn't forced or fake and it was honestly took me by so much surprise as I had assumed I had just gotten a feel already for how the culture at med schools just tended to be. If any of you all are on the fence about LUCOM, I'd take a second look. You might end up like me and even with other acceptances, yet still choosing Liberty when you weren't expecting to. Good luck you all!
Edit: Interviewed 10/28
. I didn’t think much about this school until I went there and interviewed, but it’s now on top of my list. They have a very strong curriculum and genuinely want to offer the best to their students. It definitely is a nurturing environment And I encourage anyone to strongly consider this school.
