Hi y'all! I interviewed Monday at LECOM, and am super-excited about going there! Anybody know about how long until notification of their decision is sent? I hope I get in!

It seems to be a matter of "anything goes." According to what people have written in here, some have gotten immediate notification, some have been called, and some of us (like me) are still waiting to hear a peep out of them. This, of course, is in spite of what anyone said re: timing. So, I guess all I can tell you is be prepared to wait and good luck! :luck:

Hey...I interviewed at LECOM on February 24th and have yet to hear back. I think it takes about 3 weeks or so...hopefully sooner though!! I'm eager to hear back as well!
 
Woof! Three weeks! Urk! They said there are seats open in all pathways still. Anyone have any idea how many? Apparently, med schools won't tell you this info. (which I don't understand) Good luck everyone!

Do you mean immediate as in told at the interview?

LOL, no, not quite that fast! [We can wish, though, can't we? 😉 ] I mean "immediate" as in within 2-3 days. Keep in mind that in this process, temporal adjectives have a totally different meaning...it's kind of like the way that having a meeting at 9am means getting there at 8:50am in MA versus at 9:15am in FL. It's all about the context! 🙂
 
For LECOM-Erie, the adcom meets every Wednesday. They mail out the acceptance letters on that day too. Hope that helps somewhat.

Goodluck!
 
Another thing: As soon as my butt hit the interview chair I realized "this is it" and became noticably nervous. I did manage not to projectile vomit onto my interviewers, and relaxed more as as the interview progressed. I feel that my answers were sound, if a bit stammered. How importantly do they score a placid composure? BTW, if anyone finds any "cool" at LECOM; it's mine, and I lost it! 😀

If you don't mind, can you tell me your stats? I'm still waiting to hear from them. When did you get your invite?
 
Sure: Undergrad 3.06, Postbac 3.42 (with 7 credits currently taking) MCAT 28P V10 PS9 BS9, have worked full-time almost 4 years now in a psychiatric emergency and inpatient clinic, volunteer teaching BLS, (about 2 years) volunteer on local crisis hotline (4 years). Volunteer Chippendale's Dancer as needed. Got invite about 3 weeks ago.
 
They should accept you just for this extracurricular activity. :laugh: :laugh:

Good one though, I had to read it twice to make sure it's wasn't a mistake on my part. :laugh:
 
I interviewed at Bradenton Feb. 24 and found out snail-mail today that I'm accepted! so that took almost 2 weeks
 
Congrats, Link! I think that deserves more cowbell!! 😀

LECOM-B is really fast, about two weeks, in making their decision and sending out notices.
