[The REAL Doc McStuffins]

Did anyone get an II and want to reject it? Like I already paid a deposit to a better school IMO. Do I just email them?

I appreciate you all for doing this. It gives people a chance 🙏😭

Anyone else not hear anything and had their info session in August? Feeling ghosted…thankfully I have an A at a better school but very sh**** of LECOM to do this to people

Cross posted to Erie too

Was wondering the same thing tbh, although I did read success stories on Reddit about people getting off the alternate list .. but yet again it’s different every cycle so we have to see how this is gonna play out .. but we are already seeing people withdrawing their applications so early in the cycle so 🤞🏽

Anyone still stuck on the "Your application has been processed and will be sent to the Admissions Committee for further review. You will be notified as soon as a decision has been made."

I've been here since the first week of July

Yes same here! I hope it doesn't foreshadow R or anything like that. I wonder why?

I got the R from Erie already. I'm still confused as to whether or not the two are connected

Anyone know if the fafsa code is the same as the PA campus?

Bradenton admissions is separate from the northern branches (Erie, Seton Hill, Elmira).
It is possible be rejected from the Northern group and still be in the running for Bradenton.

Thank you for the clarification!

Have many people still received acceptances without attending the on-campus days?

Hello! Received an interview invite 01/02, OOS and scheduled my info session 3/18. So even if I submit my interview video before March, I most likely wont hear until after my info session?

You 100% will not get a decision before the zoom info session, which is a required part of the process. They don’t even fully look at your app till after the info session, which is why you’ll still have red X’s on your Folder Items on the LECOM portal until at least a week after the info session. Hope this helps!

I have the red x's yet not call up for II. It says my app is sent to admin for further review for months :/.

 

[bree mild]

Just did my info session today. does anyone know the timeline to hear back about their decision?

Nobody really knows, it’s a cluster**** it seems, I had my info session in mid August and haven’t heard a single thing from here or Erie

 

[purplepeach_78]

Did anyone have an issue with scheduling the info session? It seems like all dates are full when I looked at the schedule today.

I’d email admissions to clarify! They might need to open up more spots or something.

Hello! I have reviewed the possible interview questions from Reddit and I have reached out to a few applicants, telling me that they’ve been asked completely different questions? Like when was a situation in which you perceived negatively or if a man goes fishing, what does he need to know? Have any of you received any other questions that were different from the ones online?
Also, have they combined questions such as why DO? Why medicine? Been trying to practice as much as I can for my interview.

Mine were pretty much completely different than online, but not impossible to answer. I got one that was asking about if a patient came to you with a new diet they wanted to try, how would you decide whether to support it or not. I also had one about starting a study group and how I would deal with people constantly being late or not showing up.

 

[Noah'sArks]

Declined my interview invite here. Hope it goes to one of you. Good luck.

 

[MSandMD]

Is the waitlist ranked and does anyone know how movement on it usually is? I’m assuming LECOM has already sent out almost all of their acceptances as of now being late in the cycle and is WL most people right now but idk

I don’t think they are ranked but I hope someone can confirm that for me . Waitlist and Alt movement usually occurs around May-July after the deadline for accepted students to save a seat.

 

[kendrickchong23]

Just finished the video response for the interview. Beating myself up for having a short answer to the first question but overall, I was able to answer the rest to the best of my ability. Now, I gotta wait for my zoom informational meeting 3/18th. Would it take a few weeks from that date to hear about a decision?

It took me about a month to hear back after my info session, but it was also postponed by Christmas. They told us it would probably be late January when we heard something but I heard at the end of december.

Is it possible to get in with a 498, 3.7, and a 34 on the ACT? (I applied and filled out the supplemental questions today)
Also, how long does it take to receive an interview after filling out the supplemental application in their portal?

There aren’t any set timelines for literally anything in this process. You could heard back in a week or a month or several months tbh. Also just bc you submitted the supplemental doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed an interview invite.

 

[kendrickchong23]

Do I have to send my letters of rec to Lecom directly after finishing the interview or do they already have access to them from aacomas?

They have access from AACOMAS!

 

[GR19]

For those of you who had your information session, how long was it and what were the timings?

 

[gallagherspy]

You’ll receive an email a day or two beforehand with an exact schedule/timeline! I wanna say 2-4 hours but it’s been several months since I had mine so I can’t remember exactly

 

[almostmed555]

Has anyone got an A with <500?

 

[soreadytobeadoctor]

Has anyone gotten an A recently?? Interviewed Jan 9.

 

[almostmed555]

Has anyone been offered an interview recently?

 

[cwy666]

I interviewed on 12/23, waitlisted today.

 

[Maybesomeday]

Anyone know what the waitlist movement is like

 

[emc1222]

withdrew my acceptance here. good luck y’all!

Eh, I received the waitlist notice yesterday, but accepted off the waitlist today. LM68, OOS. Currently if you get accepted, you have 2 weeks to pay the deposit.($500) I will not pay the deposit and will withdraw my acceptance very soon. Hope it goes to you or others who need it. Their tuition is really attractive... I wish it's a school closer to my home.

Edit: the initial non-refundable fee is $1500, it can be applied to the tuition. Later, there is also another $500 matriculation fee that's due.

 

[brl926]

Has anyone who applied not heard anything yet? I have been completed since late August. Not sure if this is good or bad and I'm considering sending an update letter.
