do you have the fee waiver still there or did you get all the way to the application complete tab?
Hm I mean the "application complete" tab is blue for me, the three before it have turned green. And the fee waiver option is still there. Is the "application complete" tab supposed to be green?

Mine is the same as both of yours. I would assume it's no problem and can be considered submitted since we paid.

Also, it didn't ask me what learning pathway I wanted, I just chose the Bradenton campus (unless I missed something lol)

Okay, yeah I don't think there is anything else to do. You can only do the PBL pathway (no LDP option) at Bradenton, so it automatically selects that if you're applying Bradenton I think.

Do you know the answer to this?

I have the same question. I got ahold of Erie, the guy said it was a different application, but wasn’t sure if I would get another email. I haven’t been able to get ahold of anyone at Bradenton though.

In past years the application to Bradenton has been separate from the other locations.

However, you can apply to LECOM Erie, Seton Hill, and Elmira all on one application and they will ask your preferred location later in the process.

Can you access the other secondary on the bottom of the first one? I am not sure if that was the one meant for our other application?
 
I was trying to pay the fee for the application and it wanted me to submit a fee waver. I don't have a fee waver, but I didn't see a button besides submit and now it has a green check for the application fee. Except I never paid a fee. Did anyone else have this problem?
 
Secondary recieved on 6/28. Anyone else having issues with the site and submitting a secondary application?

Yes I did. I just pressed submit thinking I would be transported to the payment page. But it just shows green check now.

I selected Bradenton on my first secondary assuming it was one secondary (after submitting the same primaries as you).

Today I received a secondary specifically from the Bradenton LECOM. Unsure of what to do

yes have to fill out both. I received two different emails I read them closely and one said FL the other said the others.
It is not letting me fill the second one out. When I log into their portal from the second email it just shows my completed secondary from my original, where I had selected Bradenton already instead of Erie....
 
If I can't access my ACT scores, would it be fine to just leave that blank on my secondary? For some reason, the email I used to register for the ACT in HS doesn't have an account associated and I'm unable to access my score. I am able to access my SAT.

Is it fine to only put my SAT score for the secondary even though I also took my ACT?
 
The app never asked for my transcripts? The loading bar is green until "application complete" which is blue. It won't let me even see what I submitted. Does anyone else have this problem?

You submitted your transcripts with the AACOMAS primary, right?
 
For the secondary, they ask to input a pdf of the Fee assistance as proof so that they can waive the fee however, it's still asking for payment. I've called and emailed (about 3 times) to no response. Idk if I should just pay the fee ($100 bc applying to both Bradenton and SH) or wait for a response (although I've already been waiting for almost 2 weeks). Anybody else having this issue? I guess it shows that the app is complete but not submitted bc the fee needs to be paid

that happened to me and one day the thing asking for payment just went away. I didn't contact anyone though

If you apply to both schools, its 50 per school. 100 total
 
Has anyone received a secondary for the other campuses but not Bradenton?

do you have any idea how long it took? Bc it's been like that for me since at least June 20th and it still hasn't gone away. I'm trying not to be neurotic about it but at the same time I don't want to delay/ make it look like I'm not interested by waiting over 2 weeks to submit

mine only took a few days to resolve itself

For anyone who might be in the same boat as me, I sent them an email and they let me know my documents needed to be uploaded on their end. Then I got the secondary next day.

wowwww. So I was waiting for it to "remove" as I've been logging back into the app and seeing that it's still there and logging out. But today, I clicked on the application fee option and instead of taking me to the payment info, it just had me re-submit the fee waiver and NOW it's submitted. I know for a fact it wasn't like that at least 2 weeks ago and idk what prompted me to click on it this time but hopefully no one else is as dumb as me to just keep it there for weeks -_-
 
For the people that submitted the secondary application, where is your green check mark in your status bar? Mine is on "Application Submitted" and the blue cursor is over "Application Completed". I'm not sure if that means I have something that is missing for my application. There is nothing left to do in the portal and it hasn't changed in weeks. I've called and emailed multiple times and haven't gotten a single response in weeks.

+1 for 1-2 weeks now
 
I am currently filling out the AACOMAS application for Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine at Bradenton, and ran into this question:

1.Please list any educational or employment experiences that followed your undergraduate graduation. Please also detail any gaps in these experiences. The list should fall in chronological order starting with the most recent experience and moving back in time to your graduation. Please use this opportunity to describe (concisely) how these experiences helped to prepare you to study osteopathic medicine.


I am a nontraditional student, and attended community college part time for 4 years while working in the medical field full time. Then I transferred to university and I am currently finishing my degree. I will graduate in December. I have worked and gained medical experience throughout college. I am wondering if I should answer this question, because it states to list any educational or employment experiences that FOLLOWED your undergraduate graduation.
Yes, on the other side, I'm also curious. If I'm a traditional student who will not graduate until May 2025, do I leave this question in the primary completely blank? Wondering if it would be a disadvantage since they have NO secondary.

Completed my secondary 6/20. Mine looks the same. It has been like this for a couple of weeks.
 
Mine keeps making an error when trying to submit the fee payment, I'm gonna see if it resolves by tomorrow and if not I'm just gonna ask the admissions email about it.
it worked try again now i think the site was just down
 
IS interview invite! Super excited, a little nervous about the video interview haha 😳 anyone know what they ask?
edit: oops didn't realize its for Erie/Elmira

4 green checkmarks and the fifth is dark blue reading "In Review"
Okay, I am at 3 green checks and submitted on same day as you. I think maybe they did not get to all the applications optimistically speaking

I am in the same boat too. Lets be optimistic--positivity ftw.
 
Are these interviews for Bradenton or the other campuses? I know last year, II were sent to other campuses before Bradenton
 
How are yall preparing for the virtual, recorded interview? I wasn't expecting this so early, so are there set questions that will be asked? Was it the same last year?
