I believe the secondary invite is just an interview invite. Pretty sure they wouldn't be interviewing everyone who just turns in their primary
Except they don’t sponsor international visas so I don’t know how that would work?
Thanks. I did apply. I'm in asylum pending status so I wouldn't need sponsorship but technically still would be an "international student."

I didn't. I emailed them to make sure.

When were you able to schedule for? Wondering how far out they are scheduling!
I scheduled in November for in-person, but they had a Feb virtual opening as well.
Hi! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the program - why you chose it, if the religious component/environment is strong (like the rest of Liberty I suppose)... I am nonreligious and fairly liberal socially/politically, so I am a bit hesitant. Would be happy to direct message if you prefer!
I am not super religious and i am also left leaning. I would say that the school is religious (obviously) and "conservative" but NOT by the current definition. I'm a black woman and I don't feel any racist transphobic homophobic vibes here. The faculty here is probably the best you're going to find anywhere; they really and truly care for their students. Theres also poc faculty and students. Multiple people of other religions and there's lgbt here too. Students are taught to not be bigoted in any way! I would not say that LUCOM is anything like liberty undergrad, maybe a super watered down and more normal version? Politics play no part in lecture or anything and the most we do is pray before exams or classes which i like! The school is great tho i like it here a lot, especially compared to the undergrad which i do not like lol
Thank you SO much for sharing all of that. It makes me feel a lot more comfortable applying to hear this from a current student! Good luck with your first year - it sounds like you've found a wonderful and supportive environment 🙂
Congrats! When was your interview?
I interviewed on 9/5.
Hi! This is such great information! Do you feel they have a fair remediation policy? Have a lot of students been dismissed from the program or are they pretty supportive?
The remediation policy is fair, idk if im allowed to tell you it, but most students do pretty damn well in the class haha
It’s available in the catalog online so I’d hope there’s no issue sharing it lol I just didn’t see it until now 🙂 that’s good to hear! I know some schools are really struggling right now

You are not wrong! I do not support Liberties undergrad, I support the med school tho, and you dont HAVE to apply here if you dont want to! It is your choice. The education and support being top notch here is a fact of the matter thoughLiberty will always be liberty.
Liberty University cites religious freedom in firing transgender employee, seeks dismissal
ABC13 is learning of new developments in an ongoing legal battle between Liberty University and a former employee.
There are most certainly differences in how the undergrad and med school are ran....................You cannot tell me there are no differences when IM the one attending lol
To be fair there are 201 other medical schools you can apply to. This is what they are about so just don't apply it's literally one school out of 202. So many options available.
I am not new to liberty, ive been born and raised in Virginia, literally everyone who goes to college in VA knows about liberties undergrad, and like i said IM attending the school! I know multiple people who have attended liberties undergrad, and even those who attended the undergrad and the med school, they would agree with me. My professors and faculty have nothing to do with the transgender professor that lost their job at the undergrad. Them having the same parent company does not mean there are no differences between the med school and undergrad.............................there are multiple, the lifestyle of undergrad and the med school are barely comparable, (for example there are significantly less "rules" in the med school compared to undergrad) which is what the people in this thread are asking.
Yeah I got that today. Wondering how fast the movement is to get a interview from this lol
Not to completely derail the discussion, but I’ve heard this time and time again from students at LUCOM, so that’s very encouraging! Especially when a lot of schools lack the support and encouragement. It seems they really want their students to do well, which is amazing!
Yes, ill tell you this, i struggled in anatomy, it was hard for me to figure out what study method worked. For the last exam, the lead anatomy professor sat me down and made me do a bunch of practice questions, ALONG with meeting beforehand to brainstorm ways to study that will work for me. I ended up getting a 91 on the last exam LMAO My professor wanted to make sure that me in particular figured out how to study asap!
it greatly depends on the year, but i would not assume that you're interviewing for a waitlist. I believe i interviewed January 20th of this year and got an A quickly, just do great on the interview and you'll be good!
They tell you at your interview day. It really seems to depend. Some people were told 2 or 3 weeks, my interview day was told 30 days.
Just a heads up: Their admissions team has never replied back to any of my emails to date. I gave up my application here because of that. I would just straight up call them
