Hey guys! So I applied to the Elmira campus but apparently, there is no group for that campus. Or at least I couldn't find it on here. After we interview, they send us an email with info regarding the info session and also a sign up to have an in person on-campus visit. Does anyone know if we are required to visit campus? I kinda don't want to because it's a 6 hour drive from me...
There's no compulsion to visit -- especially during Covid times. They will understand if you decide not to visit.
Of course, if this is the only II you received - then visiting in-person helps demonstrate your interest in the school.

Hi! I got an interview invite for LECOM Elmira, but there was no mention of a date for the informational session in the email. Does anyone know if they will send a follow up email with more information?

they usually do email again after a few days, but you can go to your student portal and sign up for an interview date instead of waiting for that second email
 
Can we take breaks during the 5 question interview or does it automatically go to the next question?

You get 2 minutes to read the question before the countdown for answering. After you answer, have to click next after each question. So technically, you could take a bit of a break, but I'm not sure if it would automatically go on to the next question.
 
Did anyone's folders not yet populate, interviewed on the 20th

Hi, you will be sent a form that in which you can indicate that you want to apply early decision. Don't do it until after your information session though.

Thank you! I haven’t been sent any form yet. Do you think I’ll get it sooner to my session?

You are the last date eligible for early decision! The week of your interview you'll get an email with a schedule for the day, a to do list, zoom link, and the pathway form where you can choose if you want to do early decision or not!

Thank you so much for the info!!

Haven't heard anything yet. Info session 8/27. I'd imagine that they've either started to make decisions or will within a week and guess another week for mail to be received for early decision

I sent it to Lisa Kalivoda- the one who sent the email reminders about the info session. But I addressed it to the people who were in the info session.

Quick question! I recently had my post interview info session and they were saying that we need to email them our pathqay selection form by Sunday.

Did they specify how they want us to email that to them? Do we need a specific subject line and do we need to name the pdf document anything specific?

Thanks for your help!

How you get Pathway Form after the Info session. Do they email you something or its on your Portal. And if they email then how long one has to wait for that email ?

Unfortunately, there were people who remained “under review” all cycle last year. I would call and politely ask if everything is complete on your part!

I personally don't have any DO experience due to COVID. But I have prior MD experience with a letter and behavioral health experience.

Based on last year's thread the soonest was around 9/14 if I remember correctly. An update to their portals was made saying that a decision was made and they had to wait for snail mail after that for the result. If it follows the same trend I would hope that begins next week

You are right! That’s my mistake. Just checked the forum, 7/31 interviews did receive decisions by the end of august/early September. Just noticed that the 9/14 date was for around my 8/27 interview date. Thank you for the correction!

My interview was 7/31 I feel like I'm going to go crazy waiting for this decision. 😭 Doesn't help that my mail on informed delivery isn't all being delivered to the house!😭😭😭
 
i wonder why decisions are coming out so much later this year compared to last year, especially considering how so many schools last year were dealing with covid and working around that
