Does anyone know how the campus rank preference works? Like will you be considered at all for your second choice? I ranked Erie first and Elmira second and am realizing that might’ve been a mistake. As a NY resident I probably should have selected Elmira first.

You're first considered for your first choice - so PBL-Erie (and if it's full) then your second choice PBL-Elmira. If you are interested in Elmira, I'd amend your rankings!

Elmira has more PBL seats (if that's what you're interested in) and you'd be more likely to get an acceptance sooner.
 
I just received an II for LECOM Erie. I have a few questions. For others who received interviews to Erie around this time, are there also no interview spots available until February in scheduling area? Also, does anyone know what the post-II acceptance rate is or the number of people they offer interviews to?
Thanks.

Any 10/16 portal change? I hope they get it done before thanksgiving
 
Hmm. I did my info session 11/5, so seeing the September and October people still not get a decision back makes me worried on how long it’ll be. I’ll probably won’t hear back until 2021 then, especially with the holidays coming up.

Do you mind sharing your stats? Im still waiting on a response :/
 
The earliest information session I could register for was in March. Is there any advantage to submitting the interview video now vs a day before the information session?

You’re joking?! I got an invite in mid Oct and the soonest I picked was first week of Nov. Interviews are filling up this quickly?! I feel like with most interviews being virtual and no travel/hotel costs this year, no one is declining their invites.

Do you know if there’s a way I can change the rankings on the portal? Unsure of how to do so, or I guess an email might suffice.
 
II received, secondary sent 9/15. I'm trying to do the interview ASAP but the first date available to schedule the zoom was March 5th. Should I try and ask admissions for an earlier information seminar date or does this not affect my completion status?

My understanding is that you’re not complete until you do the info session.

Portal changed today. My zoom was 10/16 Elmira. Does anyone else have a new "supplemental application status" underneath their "view admissions status" button? Or has that always been there lol.

Just to clarify, all statuses will be sent through the mail? So waitlist or rejections are also through the mail? All we get on the portal is a decision has been made notification?

All statuses are through mail! However, a few people have been lucky enough to get their acceptance via phone call (but not always).
 
So, I was waitlisted here last year. I’m wondering what the chances are that I’ll be waitlisted again. Has anybody here been waitlisted 2 years in a row?

Me too! Fingers crossed we get in this time! I did hear of someone being waitlisted twice here and getting in the third time, but that’s just one person, not sure how common it is.

Hopefully this is our year! I don’t know if I can take another cycle of being stuck in waitlist purgatory.

Same! I was waitlisted at both Bradenton and Erie last year! But it’s important to stay positive!
