I haven’t gotten a call asking if I was still interested in the Alternate List. Then again I did switch my preference from Seton Hill to Elmira a couple weeks ago so they I guess they know that I’m still interested. I also submitted an LOI last week. I wish we had a way of knowing how the alternate/wait list was ranked. I’m wondering if MCAT or GPA has an effect on the ranking at all.

Spoke to them the list is not ranked and they didnt want to disclose how many people in total they have on the list. Also the waitlist and alternate list is merged into one. So there is basically no legit answer for what’s going on

Just got my letter, and I’ve been added to the alternate list.

Anyone know what the odds of acceptance are? I feel like it’s kinda late at this point and they probably already have their class picked out.
 
I just received my letter in the mail that I was offered Alternate Status. My portal had changed last Tuesday to the 14 day notice that a decision had been made. A month ago LECOM had called me to see if I was still interested in attending. I said yes and was surprised to hear from them. I interviewed back in December and thought maybe I was just rejected because I had not heard back in so long while others had. 🤷‍♀️ I also wonder what the chances of getting off the alternate list are currently?

Exact same thing happened to me. I interviewed in December, heard nothing until I got a call asking if I was still interested and not till Saturday did I get a letter saying alternate list. I'm very frustrated and if I interviewed in December but they didn't answer me until the end of May does that put me at the bottom of the alternate list? Because that doesn't seem fair.

Aside from the details about campus preference and some red-tape stuff like your preferred name, there is no essay or portion you have to write, which is nice.

sorry to thread hijack but for the question they include w/ their primary app ("Please list any educational or employment experiences that followed your undergraduate graduation") what do I do if I literally just graduated a few weeks ago, and the only experiences/jobs I have now are ones I started before graduation? I already talked about these in the activities section. It seems like they want info on new things you've done since graduating but that doesn't really apply to me, so should I just talk about the same old stuff? Or not answer this question since it's not technically required?
 
Talked to them via phone. They expect more movement this cycle. Can accept students up until 7/21

Just an FYI, I asked if it mattered that I interviewed in December but didn't get alternate list answer until last week with regards to where I would be on the alternate list and they said that they have a subcommittee meeting weekly to review everyone on the alternate list so it does not matter when you were placed on it chronologically. That was a relief to me and I thought it may help others here.

HI! I got accepted to LECOM-Elmira and PCOM-Philly campus. Can someone help me? Which do you think is a better school?

PCOM Philly

I’m sorry that was a bad answer. In my opinion PCOM Philly, but it ultimately depends on the type of physician you want to become and the type of community you would like to serve. Both institutions are amazing but offer different things and are located in drastically different areas. It really depends on you.
