Behavioral Science Requirement for LECOM

[mandar]

I didn't knew that LECOM needs 6 credits in Behavioral Sciences (psychology, sociology, anthropology, medical ethics, or philosophy). I just got a letter from LECOM saying that i am short of 3 credits in Behavioral Sciences (i took 3 credits of Behavioral Sciences as an undergrad). Does anyone knows whether they invite people who does not meet the requirement and if accepted allow them to complete the requirement before the medical school begins next fall

Usually those mean that you will have to complete the credits before you matriculate. So I guess that would give you spring and summer semesters to do it before you would start there in the fall.

Hi, I have the same problem as you. I got an email from them telling me that I miss 3.3 units of behavoir science (which can be phylosophy or psychology classes). I email them back on how to handle the problem. They told me that as long as you complete the required units before school starts, then you are fine. They also told me that this shouldn't affect the application process.
