Hi guys,

I'm planning on applying to LECOM's and PCOM's post-bac programs in January for Fall 2008. I'm also planning on applying to medical schools in June of next year for matriculation in 2009. I noticed that most interviews for osteopathic school are on the weekdays. And LECOM and PCOM have mandatory attendace policies. I don't know how strict these school are with their attendace policies and if they will excuse me if I am going for a medical school interview. Does anyone have any experience with this particular situation?

Thank you! 🙂

The whole point of these programs is to get people into medical school. They will let you miss if you have an interview.

PCOM and LECOM don't have a glide year? What type of programs are they? If they are 1 year programs, and you plan on applying before you finish with them, what is the point of taking it?
