Reading last year's thread, it seems like they do a group interview. Nothing 1 on 1 from what I could tell...

Just got an email saying that my application was processed and I'll be notified by mail of the decision. So that basically means rejection. Good luck to you all.
 
For anyone who got an interview recently, do you know what the days were in the month? I know they do Mondays and some day later in the week...either Thursday or Friday? I'm trying to change my interview date, but it won't let me see the calendar anymore. Thanks!

I got a similar email but they didn't say anything about sending me a notification of the decision in the mail. They just said that my app was processed and to check the portal to make sure everything is complete...

Yeah, it's group interviews. I believe it's the same at the home campus at Lake Erie as well. I believe you are presented with a case and discuss as a a group to develop a plan of care.

Well hopefully if granted an interview it won't be as intimidating as it sounds. Group interviews have a weird dynamic where you feel like you have limited time and opportunity to prove yourself and you must surpass the barometer in which your present company is setting. Usually during a 1 on 1 interview you have plenty of opportunity to show who you really are even if you are nervous or feel like you have screwed up.

Does anyone know whether they review international applicants in the same pool as american applicants? Yesterday I received an email saying something along the lines that I will not be receiving a secondary application. I have a 3.8 cgpa, 3.73 sgpa, and a 26 mcat (9PS,7verbal, 10 BS).... Any ideas? Compared to others that have received ii I seemed (well I thought) to be competitive...

From the CIB:

International students (non-U.S. citizens or tempo- rary residents) considered: Yes. International students (non-U.S. citizens or non-permanent residents) will be considered on an individual basis. Non-U.S. citizen/permanent resident applicants must provide documentation verifying that suffi- cient funds are available in a U.S. bank to cover
all expenses to complete the program at LECOM. Additional requirements and information are avail- able by contacting the Admissions Office.

What does it mean that they will be considered on an "individual basis"? Do they require internationals to have higher stats ? I thought they didn't care about residency status and everyone was given equal consideration since they are not a public school and so funding is dependent on the individual. I was never asked to provide financial documentation. I'm assuming that would occur after receiving admissions...Not sure If I didn't receive a secondary because I missed something as part of the application or because my stats arent high enough for LECOM :(

If you are selected to interview here, they like you as far as your stats and extracurriculars. The interview is not for proving your worth in that regard. The interview is in a group because they want to see how you would do in PBL. In my interview, they asked one personal question (why medicine?) and the rest were PBL related questions and questions about how we study. Have a strong understanding of PBL and be courteous to other members in your group and you will do well.

Also I have not heard of anyone having a case and developing a plan of care in their interview. You aren't in medical school yet so how would you even know what the appropriate plan of care is?

Anybody that's interviewing on the 28th flying into Tampa around 7pm on the 27th?
Before I get a rental car I just wanted to double check.
 
my app just got verified, will they send me secondaries without an mcat score? still waiting from taking it in july. 3.8+ cgpa and sgpa In state
 
Submitted primary application in June, received secondary from LECOM Erie but none from Bradenton. On the LECOM portal, it says my Bradenton AACOMAS application is still under review (Erie application says my secondary is under review). Anyone know what this means?
 
For those that received II's from LECOM-B, how much time elapsed between submission of secondary and II? Any input would be appreciated!

If you like hamburgers, go to full belly stuffed burgers! You won't be disappointed!
 
What's the deal with not getting a secondary from here? Do they screen? Neither of the campuses has sent me a secondary yet :(
 
EDIT: wrong thread
 
How long did it take for the "required letters and credits" folder items to appear? I submitted my secondary application a week ago and the folder is still empty.

Also, congrats to everyone that has gotten an interview. :)

Personally I thought it was a lot like the LECOM-Erie interview with a much heavier emphasis on the PBL pathway. Everyone on staff was really friendly and laid back!

did you guys have a group interview? I was re-reading my e-mail from them and it says "interview with the interview panel"... so I'm guessing they are switching from the group style interview to just a panel interview.
 
503 Mcat (27) sGPA 3.65. Submitted primary 7/27 no secondary yet...... should I call them???
 
LECOM Bradenton was the first primary I submitted in June but have not received a secondary yet. Received secondaries from other D.O schools but not this one. Anyone else in the same boat?

Interview went well last week. We didn't have any questions about PBL in our group. We had a somewhat difficult scenario based question we had to tackle. As usual, most students in our group didn't talk much with the exception of two interviewees.

It was hard to talk when there were other people talking a lot. I tried to keep everything I said as short and as clear as possible without rambling. I believe it worked well for me.
