Lol you have got to be kidding me. It is mind blowing how horrendously disorganized the entire process of admissions is for LECOM.

For a school that brags about prioritizing professionalism...

A yesterday, interviewed early January. Needed a deposit by February 24th, but letter came yesterday. It’s a good thing I’ve been accepted elsewhere

Did they update your portal with the 14 day or 30 day decision prior to you receiving your A?

Tbh I have no idea. I was really turned off during the interview and stopped checking my portal

 

[Dr. Al Koholic]

Anybody that attend the info session on 1/24 receive a portal update? My portal still says they will update me when a notification is made.

I called and they said "its moving along". No definite timeline was given, super frustrating.

 

[FTW2345]

Anyone know when the waitlist starts moving

 

[medizzy]

Just got an II - is it worth interviewing at this point in time?

I don't think they would send you an interview if there was no chance of getting accepted or at the very least getting waitlisted. I would definitely go for it if it's a school you're excited about attending and if you would pick it over any other places you've been accepted to so far!

 

[NatSciProf]

Hi All!

For those who sent update letters post interview, what is the email address? Does LECOM accept updates? Haven’t heard back for almost two months and getting a little anxious.

 

[Moonlight001]

II received yesterday. I will be withdrawing my application for another offer so I truly hope it goes for one of you guys. Best of luck and hope our paths cross one day!

Attended the information session today. I was moved up due to an opening. Going to complete the question part of the interview this weekend. For those that have interviewed already, do you remember the types of questions they ask during the interview? Just trying to get an idea of how specific or broad the 5 questions will be.

The questions were pretty straightforward, nothing too challenging! Also, isn’t the video interview due before the info session? Not sure if that’s still the case tho since they moved your date up

This is technically the case but at my info session she said it *could* be done that afternoon. But I think they review it as first come first serve so it may be beneficial to do it early.

I interviewed back in December and was told we would receive a decision in 90 days and I still have not heard anything. Is anyone else in the same position?

I interviewed in Jan and was told I would receive a decision within a month… im not sure why they are so behind

Yeah, they are allowing me to complete it after the info session because they gave me a day's notice for the switch.

 

[elppaelgood123]

Anyone hear back from a February Interview?

+1

 

[BlackLotus95]

My info day was 1/20 and I just got the email informing me of my decision. I was accepted but will be declining. I thought for sure it would be a WL or R due to taking so long. I didn't realize they were so far behind this year. Hopefully this means that everyone still waiting will hear back soon.

I had my session on 1/24 and haven't heard back :/ When did you submit your interview?

 

[student2023@]

Submitted the interview on 1/24 close to the session. I have been told that they only look at it after the session anyway

 

[elppaelgood123]

Anyone get in with an AIS score?

 

[brandi87135]

Has anyone had their status updated to “thank you for interviewing” but hasn’t had their folder items added? My initial info session was 3/17 but I got moved to 1/27.

Yep! My info session was 2/7 and my portal changed to that 2 days ago. No clue what this means or if there will be a decision soon though

 

[Michael Ze]

For those who had their info session on 1/10, has any of you received a decision yet?

 

[Beater5712]

2/14 info session
portal not updated

 

[kcpd0110]

i had my info session 1/3 and still have not hear back. anyone else from this time or earlier not hear back yet?

 

[NatSciProf]

I was part of the 1/24 interviewing group. Just got back a 30 day notification when I checked the portal yesterday. No email.

From what I have read, that's likely an R. Anyone ever gotten an A or WL from a 30 day?
