Hi everyone,

I will be interviewed on April 3rd, Can you please tell me should I rent a car or take a taxi from SRQ to the school? I heard the taxi service is very late. I don't want to be late for the interview. However, I don't know if I can drive at a new place like Florida. I am from out the state.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

I rented a car because I hear the taxi is late and not very cost efficient. Try to get a deal with hertz! Be sure to decline anything they try to offer you because it's all a waste of money! (And profit for them) I got a car for like 32 dollars for 24 hours rental. If you have a smartphone or gps you should be set with the addresses provided for the school and hotels.

Thanks Cleaveland,
Did you rent a car inside the airport( in terminal) or out side? What time are they open? I will arrive there at midnight- so really don't know whether I can get a car at that time.

I think they do close at 1! The airport has a bunch of car rentals near the baggage claim when you're exiting. Give them a call!

Where did you get accepted?

I know you deserve it.
 
fharm2900 I was at the 7:45 am March 6th interview also. I haven't nor have I received a call about acceptance but I did see yesterday in the portal, "The Admissions Committee has made a decision on your application. You will receive an official letter in the mail within 10 days." as well. I think I'm just going to wait and see what the letter says. Lecom is really nice and the staff was also

I couldn't wait I had to call...I kept refreshing hoping for a status change..as soon as it did I called giggle
 
I am waitlisted for the class of 2018. Does anyone know how that works or can give me some more information about it? When should we expect to be hearing from LECOM again? :/

Hi apharm,

Being on the alternate list you can hear between anytime from now and first day of classes. Any update you have be sure to let Lauren know to show interest in the school and to strengthen your application. When it gets closer to the first day (midsummer) I would say the alternate list gets ranked and from students withdrawing their app, you'll get closer to there!

Good luck and don't lose hope.

From what I heard it is pretty easy to get. I didn't take it but I hear that if you have any type of credit established (credit card, car loan) and you have a good history of payment you will get approved.
 
Well...I have a hospital bill on my credit I fought with them because I went in and they didn't do any tests told me I had food poisoning..why it was called spring kill hospital horrible place...I was like Noo I don't have food poisoning this isn't right..had to pay other doctors and diagnostic places to find out and I had pneumonia and bronchitits I was almost hospitalized because of that dumbhospital..and I had so much otherexpenses and told them they were notgoing to get paid for misdianosing me which lead to other expenses and a breathing machine at home for letting it go untreated...and not even doing test or treating me...they just sent me off...so they sent me to collections...so I'm worried that might hurt my chances sigh....

Yup..and I'm stubborn ! I would rather poke my eye out before paying that bill...but I might have toooo if they tell me Im denied until I resolved it grrr.

I was in a similar situation and was put in collection. My excellent credit plummeted from 760 to 658. This was after I gave in and paid the bill. My regret is, if I swallowed my pride and paid the bill before it was sent to collections my credit would be intact and I wouldn't have to worry about getting loan denied or at a much higher interest rate. Take it from me, the consequences of not paying a bill or being put on collection are far reaching; far into your future when you will be repaying a higher than necessary interest rate.

Congrats to everyone who got accepted!!

I was at the march 18th interview and have not been waitlisted or rejected. Lauren did tell me they are looking at my application very favorably though, has that happened to anyone else I am getting very stressed out.

You should be fine. Don't stress out! Favorably usually means accepted they are just looking at other applicants now and then they will decide from there!

Yes, I found out I was accepted about a week after my interview. But I had called Lauren and she told me the same thing 🙂 Good luck

Interviewing here on April 10th. I'm afraid; because its so late and I wonder how many seats they actually have to give away. I just sent in some supporting materials they requested about 2 weeks so interview turnround was great. How was everyone's experience?
