I received mine the 2nd.

Nice! Have you heard anything since? Also are you applying using MCAT or AIS? Did you indicate LECOM as your first choice or you have other schools you are exploring?

 

[nguyendao]

Hi guys, I have a question. I just submitted my secondary application and I saw that they need two LOR from 2 science professor. I only have one and several letter form supervisor and MD. Does anyone know I could use those instead to sastify the requirement?

I have not heard anything since. I applied using MCAT! I picked the middle option I believe, LECOM not as first choice but definitely interested.

In past years the Bradenton application has been separate from the other LECOM Branches.
Here is the link to the page on SDN LECOM Bradenton

Any international students filling out the supplemental to LECOM? I am having issues filling it out due to it requiring me to input a US state residency(even when I select "None" as my option), and US state in my permanent address, which is not in the US. I am wondering how to get passed this issue.

 

[MedStudentApplicant202Six]

Did anyone get an Interview Invite yet?

 

[barbie28]

Did anyone get an Interview Invite yet?

My secondary still just says application complete

 

[juliealbright]

When filling out their initial application (and all of the schools) for the requirements section is just the basic 8 credits of beginning bio or do you enter all your bio classes? Thanks

 

[itsgonnabemed]

What is the difference between "I would strongly consider..." and "I would consider, but not my top choice" in the secondary?
Also if you want them to use MCAT instead of AIS do you select "no" for both SAT and ACT? It feels wrong to say I never took them though?

 

[DOApplicant20262027]

Any II?? so far?

 

[MedStudentApplicant202Six]

I haven't gotten one yet but apparently others have... Check Reddit.

Yeah thats what I assumed... I'm using my AIS instead of MCAT so maybe they will send out II later for AIS applicants.

I got an II for Seton Hill. My question is if anyone knows when the Pathway Selection Form is due. It says "You are required to submit your completed Pathway Selection Form within 24 hours of completing your interview." That means after I've done my interview day in August right? Just panicking.

I got a question for AIS. So I didn't realize that this was completely optional, but I still put my SAT in. Will they not look at my MCAT now?

 

[Trollzorlawl]

Pretty sure if you submitted both they will look at the MCAT first since it's more recent and more indicative of your future success and then AIS if the MCAT is lower than they would like.

I submitted both and got a II on 6/23.

 

[PrairiePremed]

Thank you!! I hope that you will get in too 🥳
