Hey guys! I'm Canadian, and was wondering whats the difference between LECOM in Erie Vs LECOM in Bradenton? Are they both Canadian-friendly? Which one is more Canadian-friendly?

Thank you so much :D

Same, good luck :)
Did either of you also apply to the Erie campus? I did and I got the Bradenton secondary this morning but nothing from Erie yet. But when I go in the portal, the option is there to submit the Erie secondary. Not sure if I should wait for their email invitation, though.

I also applied and see that same option to do it. Not sure if acting proactively in this case would be good or bad :unsure: but I'll probably wait and see if we get an email from Erie today or in the coming days

Yeah, I was planning on waiting to see as well. Hopefully we'll get the email sometime this week

In my portal the request was there to submit to both despite getting the email for one. Is this the same for you all?

Did anyone not get a receipt for Erie submission? Like I hit submit and when I check it, all the sections are ticked off.

Yeah that happened to a few of us, personally I'm going to wait until I get an email from the Erie campus before I complete that secondary

I got the secondary from Erie an hour ago, it was in my spam folder though. To the others I was talking to above, make sure you check your spam!

I only received an email saying that they received my application and that they will review and contact me regarding the status of my application. Is this a bad sign?

Mine wasn't in spam even though I applied to both and got one from Bradenton. Still have the option to fill out and pay for Erie's. Do you think its worth it to contact them or should I just wait?

To those that received the secondary app, did you have an MCAT score already?

Have you guys noticed if you go on the portal and check your admissions status, there is both erie and bradenton application on it on the selection bar and you can see your decision so far for both campuses?

I was poking around the portal: there's a form for your pre-health committee so that they have instructions. Does anyone know what happens if your committee doesn't include your AACOMAS ID (I'm applying MD and DO so I never provided either ID's to my letter writers)?

I haven't taken MCAT yet, but I did send them my SAT scores so that I could move the process along, especially since I can then send my MCAT score once I have it. I did that last evening, and this morning I woke up to emails with links to the secondaries (for both campuses).

I put my ACT score in my AACOMAS app but my AIS score is a 109 so maybe that’s why

Was anyone that received a secondary verified in early May? Verified 5/13 and still haven't gotten a secondary from them, but got one from CCOM.

Applications weren't transmitted until 6/15, so it doesn't matter how early you were verified, because the earliest schools could've gotten your application was 6/15. Looks like the schools are sending them out on different days, LECOM was earliest, Campbell has sent some out too.

Same boat. Received one from Erie campus actually but not Bradenton.

I applied to both campuses but I cannot find the bradenton secondary link. I only have one for Erie, which I just submitted. Anyone else have this issue?

It's the same link. You go to the portal and you should see both listed under admissions tab.

Only got one yesterday from LECOM in my spam, didn't get another from Bradenton yet.
I assume you just didn't get it yet. I don't know their screening process though.

That's kinda my assumption too. I don't have my MCAT yet (taking this weekend) but I submitted my ACT to get off their hold so I assume I'll get it eventually.

I would greatly appreciate it if you gave them a call. I am in a similar position to yourself in that I received the secondary from LECOM Erie but have yet to receive one from Bradenton.
