i know this school has rolling admission, and i want to apply as early as possible BUT, this year they want the pcat, and i just took the pcat today...i did HORRIBLE i know for sure i didnt break a 50%!...so i'm gonna retake it in AUG, and the problem is scores dont come in untill like 6 weeks later..so about octoberish...is that too late???...i mean my gpa isnt THAT great,...its only a 3.6 right now...my extracurriculars are leadership committe, leadership program, international club, phi theta kappa honor society, dean list, community service at a park and at a health center, i worked a doctor's office for almost 2 years. Now i work at a pharmacy plus i'm a lab assistant at my college. wht are my chances of gettng into lecom and also...if i apply now, my pcat scores could ruin my chances...i literally think i'm going to get like a 10%...i'm usually an optimistic person so i know i'm not exagerating 🙁...WHAT SHOULD I DO??...wait till oct...or apply now with crappy pcat scores....

I got into LECOM through a school with an agreement, but that was back in 05. If you think you did bad on the PCAT then I would retake it & just apply in Oct. You shouldn't have to worry about your GPA & extracurriculars they are better than what I had.

From what I understand (from a reliable source) these "agreements" are illusions and nothing more than a farce. The process is far from "automatic".

Your GPA sounds pretty solid, along with your extra curricular. I would go ahead and apply now if you have everything else in order. Worst case scenario you hear nothing from LECOM by Oct. then you could retake the PCAT and submit your new scores.
