Waitlisted by email, info session 10/27 does anyone know if the waitlist is binding?

Waitlisted by email, info session 10/27 does anyone know if the waitlist is binding?

If you agree to be on the WL, you still have the choice to say yes or no if they later offer you admission.
If you turn down the waitlist, you’ll take yourself out of consideration.

Did you have a status on your admission portal that admissions made a decision before receiving the waitlist email ?

When was your info session

 

[romeobdarija]

When was your info session

9/19, portal updated 11/16 with 14 day message

 

[coupleofbumps]

9/13 info session. Selected ED. Still have the “thanks for interviewing” message.

Maybe i was being a silly goose and was supposed to read 9/30 as 11/30 so my results would come in after thanksgiving!!

Or I genuinely believe my application got lost at this point.

 

[irishdoc28]

Just withdrew my application. Best of luck to everyone. Rooting for you all!

 

[Frankie0330]

I just emailed admissions; did interview 9/19 and received "I do apologize, the application process is very extensive and takes a great while to get a definitive answer. Your application is currently in the final review stage of the process. We cannot estimate when the decision will be made, however, once the review committee decides you will receive an email as well as postage mail. We hope to get decisions out within the next month. If you do have any further questions, do not hesitate to reach out!"
So we will see!

If you scroll through this thread you’ll see that quite a few people have already been accepted since LECOM has rolling admissions. No timeline for hearing back- days to months. Dress professionally and don’t be late for info session- ask questions.

Finally, the mail arrived! Alternate list!

Anyone know if Lecom accepts updates/letters of intent?

 

[wolverine1923]

My portal now reads “The Admissions Committee has made a decision on your application. You will receive an official letter in the mail, typically, within 14 days”. Does anyone know if there’s a point in checking the portal and/or my email for my decision before I get the letter? Or do I just have to wait for the letter to arrive?

Idk but my portal never changed with a decision even after I received a waitlist letter. It did change now though after I sent my letter in to remain on the waitlist.

Yeah I got my decision via email a few days before the snail mail arrived! Portal updated about a week after that lol.

Damn didn’t need the attitude. Yes or no would suffice

It has been mentioned lots of times in this thread, & I perceived no “attitude “ in the factual reply by your fellow applicant.
The waiting is hard on all of you

[wolverine1923]

If you google informed delivery you can sign up on the USPS website

 

[wolverine1923]

Just got my letter and I’m an alternate. What does this mean exactly? Is it the same thing as waitlist?

 

[drdrphil]

I read somewhere that waitlist is a higher priority than an alt, but they didn't have a source so it could be complete bs

 

[gallagherspy]

Yeah SDN replies seem to suggest it's identical to the WL but Reddit replies seem to suggest it's the backup to the WL so honestly who knows D: (and on both sites people state that that's the answer they've been given by admissions soo )

 

[chrusb]

It is bull****. The words are interchangeable. Same exact thing

 

[imanurse]

It is bull****. The words are interchangeable. Same exact thing

During my info session, I was told the opposite—WL>>alt

 

[BrettMontana]

felt like i butchered my interview. Got cut off by the time limit for almost every question.

 

[YareYare]

OOS applicant, just received WL email. Are there any numbers to around how many people are usually accepted off the waitlist?

 

[futuredoctorkumquat]

During my info session, I was told the opposite—WL>>alt

Same thing for me. They made it clear they review WL first then AL

 

[chickenlittle78]

anyone from the 9/28 info session hear back?

 

[jjfoury]

Anyone know how many people are on the alternate/ waitlist or the capacity of it usually ?

 

[Jenmjfan]

This is a stupid question but how do you see your status in the portal?

 

[kb2711]

Go to portal click admissions, then scroll and you should see admissions status

 

[Jenmjfan]

One more question sorry! Does this school accept update letters?
