Lake Erie (LECOM) Discussion Thread 2015 - 2016

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
If I'm following past threads correctly, post-interview it should go to, "A decision has been made," if you have been accepted, whereas reverting to "Your application is under review" usually means rejection. Is that right? That's what I've been anticipating.

From what I could remember, a "a decision has been made" means acceptance or waitlist. A "your application is under review" post-interview is never a good sign. I wanna say it's rare to get a rejection this early though if they bothered to interview you. Doesn't mean you are done, but just know that you hanging on by a thread.
 
It doesn't always mean that. I had "A Decision Has Been Made" and I got rejected. Rejections can definitely happen this early in the cycle.
 
Thanks. It happened like a month ago so I've moved past it haha. Good luck to everyone still waiting for decisions!

I wasn't talking about myself personally. My portal still says "thank you for interviewing." Just noticing trends on this thread and the ones from past years.

That is not true. Mine said under review and I was accepted a few weeks later.

LOL #mindgame
Pretty much. There's no reason to speculate or spread rumors like that. The process is frustrating but we just have to deal with it 🙁

Speculating is a pretty normal part of this process. Lots of people read through these threads looking for patterns while we're waiting for big decisions to be made. There's a huge difference between spreading rumors and asking if a pattern that you've noticed is valid or not. I asked, and found out it's not.

I know, I just see it on many threads. Lots of he said she said. I wasn't attacking you, I was just giving you the proper info 🙂

I appreciate the info! Nothing about this process is easy to generalize, but this school seems particularly unpredictable.
 
are they still giving out IIs? been complete since August

They interviewed into March last cycle. Some just wait longer than others. You can always contact admissions since it has been a while.
 
Hey everyone,

I am interviewing here (very) soon, but I have noticed that I haven't received any email/information nor can I find any information on the portal about interview day and where to go, etc. Will they send this closer to the interview day? Its also possible that I am missing it on the portal, and if so, can anyone help me out with where to find the interview day information? Thanks!

They send you a detailed email a few days before the interview. It's really straightforward since there's only one building and the entrance is obvious when you park.
 
Hey guys. I know it's early, but just a heads up. Try not to live anywhere in the North-East side of Erie. Don't want to scare you all, but you don't want to get shot. Try to live in the Westside (Millcreek township area) or within 3 miles from the Erie campus. Goodluck to those waiting to get an interview or will be interviewing!
 
Just received my 4th medical school acceptance, to LECOM-SH Class of 2020, I am beyond humbled, and did not expect so many acceptances! Now I am even more confused to go, but I dont think I will be attending this school!
 
Withdrawing my acceptance at Erie (DSP) hope it goes to someone who really identifies with the school. Good luck everyone!

Thanks for the heads up I live an hour away so im going to drive down over thanksgiving break and check a few areas out. Any thoughts on the townhouse/apartments on the lake/lakeview area? From what I see they tend to be more pricey for nice ones but I dont mind spending more for a nice place.
 
Just received the email saying:

"The Office of Admissions at LECOM Erie has processed your supplemental application. You can monitor the status of your application by logging on to the LECOM Candidate Portal"

Congratulations to everyone accepted!
 
I interview oct 16th my portal still says thank you for interviewing ...
Should I call the admissions office or wait it out???
 
So I've been under review since 9/16. Any idea if they do silent rejections? Or does this even mean anything?
 
same mine has been under review. How long does it take to receive interview invite. Also i got, your supplemental has been processed in an email. Is this good or bad?
 
Yep, got rejected yesterday.

Really weird cause I felt this was my best itvw by far
 
Can the type of learning style you request on your secondary impede an invite? I've had silence since August, and I selected the problem-based learning. I really would like that but I'd take anything for an interview . . .

Probably not, I picked PBL as well and received an interview and was accepted into the PBL pathway.
 
Not sure if this was answered before (40 pages are too much to go through), but if you interviewed at Bradenton, does that disqualify you from an II from Erie? My status has been "under review" since late August.

No I have been accepted to both Bradenton and Erie (Seton Hill, erie and Seton Hill are considered the same college, but Bradenton a seperate one)!

You can get acceptance at bradenton, or erie or bradenton and seton... Not seton and erie!

Good to know, thanks.. I've already interviewed at Bradenton. Now I just gotta wonder what's taking so long over at Erie.
 
I don't remember seeing the different learning pathways in the Erie secondary..
Which page was that on??

I interviewed on October 12th and heard back via snail mail yesterday. I'd give it a few days.

I interviewed Oct 16 as well and still haven't gotten my letter but my portal did change. I've read that some people's portals didn't change but still got a letter. I just think they miss some people. I'd wait it out another week if I was you. The wait is killing me too!

Just wondering how long did it take after your interview for the portal to update?

I interviewed on Oct 16 and it changed to "thank you for interviewing" a day or two later then to "a decision has been made" on Nov 3.
