I would not put it past LECOM to be like “hey classes started last week but we are still behind so if you are still interested here is your A”

 

[Keelay]

I got an alternate email over a week and half ago along with the mail letter today.

Submitted my confirmation to remain on the alternate list sometime last week and got confirmation on my portal last night.

Info session over a month ago…. Still radio silence and no update to my portal. I selected decision by Sept 30

Hey! Last minute jitters before recording my interview tomorrow—any surprising Qs or MMI-style ethical Qs? Thanks everyone

Go on Reddit! Tons of prior questions asked during async lecom interviews.

Just completed my video interview. I felt so awkward to speak to the camera. I'm a bit worried because I dont think my video is good enough. 🙁(

 

[matchamighty]

Finished my info session already, but my folder items still all have x’s next to them. Any idea when those get processed?

Right before a decision, after a decision, in the spring, or only in your mind. It’s completely random

[tinkywinky]

Does anyone know where I can send an LOI?

 

[prettyinmedicine]

Hello! I had a question about the early decision by Sep 30th thing. Where did you guys indicate this? I had my interview zoom session on 9/12 and submitted my pathway selection form the same day but haven't heard anything since (all my folder items are still X). The early decision thing wasn't mentioned on the pathway selection form either?

Second page of the pathway form was where you indicated ED or RD. If you didn’t have a second page to your form then you interviewed too late in September to be offered that option.

 

[hopefulapplicant!]

For those that had the info session today, how long should we expect until we hear back? Can confirm no ED option at this point in the cycle. Good luck everyone!

November 15th absolute earliest but unlikely until at least a week or two after that. Then any time after

 

[lejapremed24]

Has anyone reapplied and gotten an interview? Does anyone know if they compare your previous application with your new one?

 

[himikie]

I haven't received the link to record the interview and scheduled my info session for mid-November. when does it typically come?
Also, how long was the info session for you guys?

I had the same concerns too. I called multiple times but no one from the admissions office picked up the phone. However and fortunately I just got my email with the link for the virtual interview this afternoon 10/18. I was emailed my II last week (10/9) and I scheduled my info session for early November. I hope this helps

 

[DOMAN82]

OOS II today!! complete 10/2/23

 

[biomedgirlie]

OOS II today!!

Same! I did not get any information on scheduling the information session?
AIS- 121, OOS

 

[futuredoctorkumquat]

[futuredoctorkumquat]

I didn’t either. Does it usually come in a separate email? I checked the portal and it said there would be an email with further instructions

I didn't get an email about it but I clicked "Interview" on the side of the portal and scheduled it.

 

[Futurdoc2]

Anyone else from the 9/12 info session select the 9/30 decision date and not hear anything back yet? All my documents are still marked with red X’s too. Getting a bit worried that there’s some gap in communication here

I did in my email

What should I expect for the informational session?

 

[macbookcharger]

What should I expect for the informational session?

i had mine with the Elmira campus and they broke us out into breakout rooms and asked us some questions to get to know us better. Basically a group interview where everyone would be given a chance to respond. I heard some people weren't asked questions at all. I guess its a gamble.

 

[amateurbater]

She tryna LECOM my DO until I buss

Yeah same, group interview. Asked a question or scenario, waited for a response and then if someone didn’t speak they would target that individual. I don’t understand the point of it for the interviewer wasn’t taking notes on us only seemed like they were checking a box off. They should be more transparent with the informational session being an innuendo interview

For those that completed their info session w/ the Erie campus, what should I expect?

 

[Futurdoc2]

For those that completed their info session w/ the Erie campus, what should I expect?

A long, long, long, long, long time before a decision is made. I’m waiting for the “sept 30 decision day” decision

 

[Futurdoc2]

Oh I meant like, what should I expect during the session? Sorry for the confusion.

It’s more like a seminar with a bit of interaction but there is nothing to prepare for really. Just have a few questions to ask, if you want to but it’s not necessary. It’s just a basic info session, or at least mine was. Not sure if others had a different experience

 

[professional-chai-drinker]

Almost one month and no update on my portal (ED). Anyone else in the same boat?

I know LECOM-B is a separate process form SH/erie/elmira, but multiple commenters have stated on the LECOM-B thread that when they called admissions to inquire about why they haven’t received a decision even though they opted ED, they were told that anyone who hasn’t heard by now has been pushed to RD

 

[Jose Alka]

I dont understand, it seems like no one has received an A to this program yet this year.

 

[premed_15]

Early decision was October 15 but they’re running behind, every one else who did regular decision won’t know until after November 15

 

[leia314]

They had an early decision program where you were supposed to know 9/30

ED was actually 9/30!

My b! I thought this was the Bradenton thread, I forget they’re not all run together lmao

 

[gallagherspy]

Nw I do the same lolol.

 

[superdesperate]

just got the pre-II R. MCAT 510, 3.3 GPA. Kinda surprised tbh but oh well.

 

[KanGaHru]

maybe they meant we'd receive a decision September 30th, 2024

 

[nontradgogetter]

My b! I thought this was the Bradenton thread, I forget they’re not all run together lmao

If you didn't hear from Bradenton for ED yet, you have been moved to RD.

Rec'd II, Lecom Erie. Email says to submit the video interview with a link to begin. I know the video is due before the information session. Is the info session over zoom or in person? Also, any insight what the info session is like?

My info session was on zoom, mine was through erie so they just gave us info all we really had to do was introduce ourselves at the beginning, then ask questions if we had any. It sounds it’s different for each campus so idk about the others
