yeah this process is a crapshoot. if you are that set on LECOM, call them up and ask what you can do specifically to be more competitive. and when they tell you, do exactly that and try again next year. but you aren't going to get anywhere this year. that was my biggest fear with DMU, but i didn't get rejected so its all good.
10/10 post. Would read again.
Crapshoot is right. I've been invited to interview at schools in states I've never been to before. Yet no love from my state osteopathic school or homestate schools.
At least I'm traveling the country.

Lecom is a private school with primarily an intent on getting the students they think will fit in and graduate. They don't really care that you live in 90 minutes away.
That being said with a 3.2/26 you shouldn't really be picky. You getting accepted by any DO school should be the main goal.

yeah their average is like 3.5/28 because they attract MD people due to their low tuition. they can have lecom though, no offense to any current students. I just didnt like the policies and stuff, and i felt like the school wasnt very personalized/friendly.oh well though, for some people im sure this is a great school. just wasnt for me. To the OP, youll find another school you like better anyways.
Yup. No use plugging away at a school that rejected you, you have many other options (although Nova's probably out at this point too)
They've only been interviewing for about a month. It's been filled up to January for a few weeks though.

like someone else already said, don't get too hung up on a school that doesn't want you. You can get in elsewhere and still receive a great education.
That is kinda weird. Do you guys have good EC? I am a 3.65/26 and had an ii at LECOM-B. You all have same or better MCAT's, I have above average EC though.
I think your GPA combined with your "above average ECs" is what your selling point is. I have good MCAT and I think my ECs are also "above average," however my GPA and stability within school is definitely my weak point. Unfortunately, I had some medical issue coupled with personal issues that I addressed in my personal statement with complete honesty that the adcom most likely didn't look to favorably upon.
