-How do you like your program so far
No, LUCOM is a private school so they don’t have to adhere to any in-state quotas in their classes. Virginia does have a large representation in each class (probably 40-ish percent), followed by California, and many other states. I’m from nowhere near Virginia, and I know lots of students from Pennsylvania and the surrounding states, and have even met some from Hawaii and Alaska in classes above me. Good luck with your app cycle!
1. I really like the program. The faculty & staff are extremely supportive & committed to our success, and they maintain an open door policy for us to come to them with questions. They take our feedback and make active changes when something is unfair, and I think the curriculum lines up nicely with boards.
I saw there was a question about your parent’s income, did you enter this info in?
I left it blank for now because I mainly just wanted to see the essay prompts but I may fill it out later. Not sure yet.
when did you submit your primary?
I haven't received a secondary
Yea I got an email when I submitted!
Make sure to check promotions and spam, mine was in there.
I had mine submitted through AACOMAS. Do I have to mail them to the campus as well?
No they receive them from AACOMAS! I was just wondering because mine haven’t been checked off the list yet.
Where are you able to see where they are marked?
When I log into the portal and look at the checklist!
is the portal link the same as the link they gave you to fill out the secondary?
In the secondary email they sent, click on claim your account!
I never received one either. My MCAT exam is August 13th
I believe they have minimum MCAT requirements for their pre-screen too. Once you have an MCAT score you can email admissions with an update.
if you go to one of the first secondary emails they sent you, you'll see a button that says "claim your account." in that same email they give you your ID that you need to sign in! i would bookmark that page so you have easy access to it
I just called them and left a voicemail asking the same thing. if they get back to me I'll def post on here regarding what they said!
I am unsure if the school is lenient in general, could try to call and see how they approach those situations. I found this video on youtube, , in the comment section there is some discussion on success stories with previous criminal/arrest situations on your app (could be helpful for how to discuss your situation upon interview invites). I also have not watched the video just thought perhaps it would apply here. Either way, best of luck to you!
Congrats on all of your IIs, looking forward to seeing all of you for interviews! Are they in person this year?
Congrats! When were you all complete?
I applied last year and got accepted into 2 DO schools but deferred to reapply this year. I have a 3.8 cGPA and 3.78 sGPA with a 500 MCAT do I stand a chance of an interview? Who should I reach out to?
You could write out your application information in the WAMC portion of the forums. They'll probably be able to give you a better idea than hidden under LUCOM's thread.
Your MCAT is on the lower side but with the rest of your stats, you should have good chances of getting accepted again. Why did you defer?
