So, today I got an auto-rejection from LECOM.
However, my application isn't completely finished? As in my recommendation letters haven't all been put into aadsas nor has my GPA been calculated, I think. At least I can't see the calculation yet. The only thing my transcripts say are "verified". My DAT and cGPA are pretty good. The only thing that I could think of is my lower sGPA but it's not even THAT low. Furthermore, I am still taking science classes to boost up my sGPA? So, I am a bit confused to how that happens, so fast and so early. Any reasons as to why? Thanks!
 
What exactly are your stats? Is there any background information you're leaving out that may be relevant (e.g. are you an international applicant)?
 
If your transcripts have been verified that means your GPA was calculated. I would give them a call to double check that it's not a glitch.

How did you get notified by LECOM? I submitted my AADSAS June 29th (committee letter only thing not in), but I have not received any emails from them regarding secondary, etc.
 
On a side note: I am curious as to why you thought it was necessary to hyphenate those two words.

You should be getting email from them for secondary soon, I received it and my committee letter wasn't in yet too, applied June 12th

Thanks for the information! May I ask when they emailed you the secondary?
 
Fair enough, thanks, guys! As for the hyphenation, it was not necessary, but I just happened to do it there. Do you guys still suggest I contact LECOM and see why I was denied with an incomplete app? I have a business background and usually when applicants get rejected from a certain position they are able to ask why they were, just to gauge weaknesses in their application. Does the same thing apply to dental schools? Since transparency should exist in higher education.

Thanks, Caffeine! Will keep you guys updated on this. Hopefully, if there are red flags I will be made aware of it. If there was a reason that my application was denied then, at the very least, maybe someone in the future can benefit!
 
Definitely contact them... I feel like this may have just been a glitch unless you have something severely disqualifying in your application.

My thoughts exactly! I've noticed in previous threads that they do start movement in July but without the application being complete, I don't see how this rejection can be the case. I'm betting on glitch. Give us on update if you can!
