Congrats! Did they call you or text you first?

Thank you! And no- just an email saying there was a decision made in the portal

 

[ScrubbedInSoon]

anyone get off the waitlist for pbl??

 

[ScrubbedInSoon]

just got a call and they’re gonna reevaluate my app for seton hill… hopefully seton hill likes me better than erie did😅

 

[seagreenblue_23]

Just called and talked to Katie from admissions and they said they haven't started evaluating waitlist spots and plan to do so in the next couple weeks, so there should be more movement in the next couple weeks.

does anyone know how many people are waitlisted for LDP? and how many they typically take off the waitlist?

 

[doctoraye]

Off the waitlist at noon today, was waitlisted on 4/9! Got a status update email to my portal — got into DSP Erie!

no idea, you could probably call and inquire tho.

Did she mention anything about those pending a decision? I interviewed a while back and still no decision. It’s been silent from them besides a text asking if I’m still interested which I thought was odd considering I’m not even waitlisted.

She didn't b/c I asked about the waitlist. I'd just call LECOM admissions and ask about your position.

I have not heard a single thing after the interview, submitted a letter of intent and update after and received nothing

Did they reach out letting you know they received your letter and it’s been added to your file?

 

[Hypertension16]

They did that for my letter of intent back in March but not on my update letter. I saw on my portal that when I pressed the search button in the cases tab, it was added but closed.

 

[Pre-med nerdy]

Any one got off the Waitlist recently for LDP? Who knows when the biggest waitlist movement happens?

 

[Medisinner]

Did anyone’s status bar disappear from the portal? Mine just says start a new application now. I was still pending decision before this happened.

Nope :/

 

[Medisinner]

No clue what that means for my application and I’m kinda freaking out now lool. I guess I’ll call them tomorrow to see what’s up.

 

[EnnoMotiZ]

does the portal change status to wl for those on the wl? or just an email with a decision letter?

Same thing happened to me, lmk what they say when you reach out. Interviewed in October and didnt hear anything since then.

I tried calling but got no response. Let me know if you figure out what’s happening.

 

[Calypsoo]

I got this I'm on the alternate list still.

"Thank you for reaching out. Currently, we expect movement on the wait list and alternate list to begin ramping up as we have seen that trend in the past at this point of the cycle. "

Did you email them? Or they sent you this randomly?

Emailed them!

 

[Pre-med nerdy]

For lecom is the waitlist the same as the alternate list?

 

[seagreenblue_23]

[footballfan243]

Just got my rejection letter after waiting for 6 and a half months :|

 

[Dr. Aybolit]

Just got my rejection letter after waiting for 6 and a half months :|

Have you been on the waitlist?

 

[Pre-med nerdy]

Just got my rejection letter after waiting for 6 and a half months :|

Were you on the waitlist before? Or is that the only decision you got after the interview?

 

[ixie]

If anyone is currently at Laurel Springs or Laurel Ridge, please send me a message. Got some questions!

 

[seagreenblue_23]

[Pre-med nerdy]

Did anyone got off the waitlist recently?

I can't imagine how you feel. I interviewed back in March, and haven't heard a single thing. Hoping this isn't a soft R.

 

[seagreenblue_23]

I saw someone on reddit got accepted into LDP at Erie yesterday w/ a sub 500 score. So hopefully movement is coming.

were they waitlisted?

 

[seagreenblue_23]

yes

 

[EnnoMotiZ]

should i start re-apply while on the wl? I'm afraid this action would decrease my chance of getting off wl, any thoughts?

I would start preparing to reapply but not submit anything as of now.

 

[EnnoMotiZ]

I would start preparing to reapply but not submit anything as of now.

so if I recreate the account and have all my LOR in without submitting to school, it should be fine correct?

 

[seagreenblue_23]

You can apply to other schools, I would just wait on LECOM till after July. If you get in, you can just withdraw ur apps from the schools you applied to. Basically, you'd just be losing ur application money.

 

[Reign123]

Just submit primary now, apply to others, or and add schools later. I mean the DO application doesn’t take long to process anyways unlike AMACAS. I’m retaking mcat on July 12th and my primaries are already finished up. You can always prewrite to be ready to submit secondaries late July or early August. Plus at some point I need a reasonable amount of time to transition being a non-trad student with financial circumstances make moving harder on short notice and sometimes financially irresponsible being a home owner.
