because the early decision crowd was supposed to hear back by the end of september, so in order to be eligible to select the early decision timeline, you would've had to interview earlier. I believe the last group to be eligible was early possibly mid september.
Update: I was placed on the alternate list. It seems like almost everyone here has been placed on it so far too. I know LECOM's alternate list is pretty active and they're constantly moving students to accepted, but does anyone know how soon they start to move on the list? January, February...?My info session was 10/9 for Elmira, my letter is coming in the mail today according to USPS Informed Delivery! I'll update soonPraying for good news!
I was accepted to SH before my MCAT was released. I applied back in June and I’ve been a PA for 7 years. Chose early decision. cGPA: 3.7, sGPA: 3.9+. AIS 118. Incidentally, my MCAT is 506.
This was very helpful, thank you
It changed on 10/15. I got the acceptance letter 10/18. The return address was from LECOM Erie and it's a pretty thin envelope.
$1500 due within 30 days then $500 due in April 2021
are you from west coast by any chance?? i’m in cali w/ portal change on 16th and still waiting anxiously for mail xD
I was hoping they'd take into consideration west coast and mail us our letters earlier lololol, guess not.
How do you know that they are moving students off of the list?
Yes, they will confirm they have received your letter (through email).
I didn't get a confirmation email for Elmira, but my portal updated to something like "We have received your confirmation to accept a seat on the alternate list... you will be notified of any changes in your status"
Why are all DO schools so expensive with their deposits? Touro is $2000.
Previous LECOM threads, the interview info session, plus current LECOM students I've spoken to have all stated they constantly move students off the alternate list
That's good to know!!
Mine just changed yesterday from the same session. You got this!
none here
Same. To the point where i forgot I even applied here. Luckily have an A already.
Do you think it was the lack of participation? I feel like there wasn’t much opportunity to participate in the first place besides the mock PBL session and the Q/A. Even then, during both, it was the same 5 people talking out of 29.
Seems like most people are getting alternates, I feel like they might just be holding out intentionally to take a look at the applicant pool. I’m Anxiously waiting for the likely let down.
Size? No. But, based on last year, the accepted one is thicker while the alt list has a single page.
I had 55 in my session!
Same...did we have the same section lol
same as well, there were about 50+
Whoa 😳 they must be offering a lot of interviews then. That must be why there’s a lot of alternates.
. Good luck everyone!Waitlisted for Erie, 507 MCAT, 3.3 undergrad, 3.8 Grad, OS. Little disappointed, but I'm praying for some upcoming waitlist movement
P.S. for those of you who were waitlisted, was there anything in your letter discussing "your application was looked at favorably" and anything about a $500 deposit? I read some people got letters like that in last year's application cycle.
I interviewed at SH, but listed Erie as my first choice since I was most comfortable with the Lecture pathway.
