When we apply to a school (ex PCOM) and apply to each branch campus (ex PCOM-Philly and PCOM-Georgia), are they each basically a separate school as far as admissions go (will they each make their own decision of whether or not to accept you)?

How about as far as writing secondary essays and paying for the secondary applications?


(I am still going to apply to each campus (both campuses for Lecom and Pcom, and all three campuses for Touro), as an extra 200 dollars and 4 essays won't dissuade me, but I would just like to know)
 
I remember reading somewhere that each campus acts independently of the others (the LECOMs, PCOMs and Touros), but I don't know if this applies to the VCOM-SC campus and Western-Lebanon campus.
 
I applied to several branch campuses, and each one told me they are completely separate from the original campus. Different admissions, criteria, etc, etc. I used the same essays on both of them ... didn't seem to make any difference and I'm 100% sure they weren't aware of reusing essays (ie LECOM-B isn't going to know you used the same essay for LECOM-E, etc).
 
I know that the lecom campuses are each separate secondaries and separate interviews. On your interview they will ask you to rank your preferred pathway ie. 1. erieldp 2. erie pbl 3. seton hill pbl etc.
 
I used the same essays practically for AZCOM and CCOM. Obviously had the same stats for each school. Got into AZCOM and rejected pre-interview at CCOM so I always figured that they were separate.

Wait, CCOM and AZCOM are just branch campuses of each other?

CCOM is the original, AZCOM is the branch

just like

LECOM-Erie is the original, LECOM-Bradenton and LECOM-Seton Hill are the branch campuses.

This really means nothing, it just allows schools to be accredited upon opening instead of having to wait to graduate their first class.
