LOL I was wondering the same thing. I'm not sure what's going on exactly, but it give us hope lol
If I have paid my deposit and accepted the loans on the portal, can I still withdraw my acceptance without owing tuition and get loans at another school?
once you pay money it is gone is the rule of thumb. check before paying.If I have paid my deposit and accepted the loans on the portal, can I still withdraw my acceptance without owing tuition and get loans at another school?
I may not have be clear. I know I lose the deposit - its the tuition and loans I am worried about.once you pay money it is gone is the rule of thumb. check before paying.
No just call them. Unless the dispersed the loans, you dont owe them anythingI may not have be clear. I know I lose the deposit - its the tuition and loans I am worried about.
I called LECOM-Erie a few days ago and they said that they haven't started looking at the waitlist because they're still sending acceptances to the last batch of interviewees and waiting for their replies.
When did you interview?That's not true I got off the waitlist last week and I know a few others who have.

Grad Plus loans make up the difference between tuition/ancillaries and COA.Does anybody know how much financial aid LECOM awards you with? At the interview they said the max is 40,500 per 9 months but that's not nearly enough to live off... tuition 33k books 2k new comp 1k housing 6-10k plus food, gas, books, car payment, miscellaneous, etc. Are thee other loans to get or no? Would love to hear what a current LECOM student has to say.

You can borrow up to the total cost of attendance. For first years this year, it looks like it's $61,602. Assuming you're going the federal loans route, you'll borrow part through the regular unsubsidized loan and the remainder through the GradPLUS loan.
Information on cost of attendance is here. Your actual costs may actually vary of course depending on your needs for housing, food, travel expenses, etc. If you don't need LECOM's health insurance because you're covered by a parent or a spouse, you can still borrow the full COA and your loan check is a bit bigger.
Budgeting-wise, remember that first and second year cost of attendance cover nine months worth of living/etc and if you aren't someone who goes home in the summer to free housing, you'll have to make that stretch a bit longer.
Thank you for all the info! Is the grad plus loan a separate loan application? I was also wondering about the medical supplies required? Is there a LECOM store you purchase it from? I didn't receive any info on what supplies is required.

You initially fill out FAFSA and then LECOM will give you instructions on applying to specific loans.
Don't buy any equipment yet. You'll get all the info once you start, plus you'll get a free stethoscope at your white coat ceremony. I'm a fourth year so I don't have up-to-date information on what exactly you need and when you need it, but I will promise you won't need any of it until after loan money comes in.

Did you happen to receive a top alternate email from Erie? And do you know if there has been alot of waitlist movement or if it just isnt going to move anymore?

Did you receive an email stating you had a strong chance of acceptance? Oh okay I guess that makes sense. Congrats on your acceptance!Yea top alternate followed by strong chance of acceptance the week after. I'd guess by the end of this week the majority of movement would have already happened. But a few people here and there will be accepted up to the first day of classes.

Remember to be skeptical since this is the internet. As someone who interviewed at SH, these are things I'm skeptical about:
* Individual interviews at Erie campus. We didn't get this option, so there is no logical reason they would either.
* Top alternate letters. I don't know of anyone at SH who got this letter.
* There has been waitlist movement. I don't know of anyone who got pulled for SH, but several who have only recently gotten the "continued interest" email.
Just food for thought. I guess calling LECOM would be the best way to know where they're at. Personally, I'd rather just be patient and not jinx anything.

The registration packet they just sent said everything we have to buy. They are having a Welch Allyn presentation with student prices.

There was a registration packet? Did you receive it recently? I'm worried mine may have gotten lost... I'm in the middle of a move and we have mail forwarding, but who knows.
Sorry if this was posted earlier, but does anyone know the best way to withdraw your application for LECOM? I was looking to see if there was a way on the portal but couldn't find anything. Best to email/call?

App still under review at Erie. How late do they do interviews till?
Not really sure but I know the latest was late may this cycle....although LECOM does silent rejections aka keep your status as "file under review" indefinitely until the next cycle takes over and won't really give a rejection

Yeah . I'm already ready for the next cycle. Third times the charm. Though I really did fall in love with LECOM when I interviewed. I was expecting to dislike it based on the hate it gets but I felt at home there oddly enough.
Well, I wish you luck! On reddit, everyone I wished luck to has gotten off the waitlist so hopefully I still have some good juju left! Let us know if you hear anything!Yeah same! I loved Seton Hill even though it was a very small town and on an undergrad campus! Definitely a place I see myself at
