Has anyone heard anything from LECOM in the past couple of weeks? I interviewed several, and I do mean several, weeks ago and have heard nothing.
Thanks for any input!!!
 
I heard from them two weeks after my interview (which was in November). I think you should call them if you haven't heard anything. Maybe the letter got lost in the mail.
 
i talked to nicole in admissions yesterday and she said they are extremely behind....i interviewed a month ago and she said my file hasn't been reviewed yet....

It has been 5 weeks since my interview and I also have not heard anything.
 
I interviewed there on March 1st and got a letter about 3 weeks later saying that I was put into an "alternate" list. Better than a rejection I suppose. Here's hoping for the best.
 
I interviewed beginning of February. Received letter of alternate status March 18th. They said they were interviewing until the end of March. Hopefully, we will hear something (Good news, that is 🙂 ) soon.
 
I interviewed at LECOM Jan. 16th, and I found out I was on the alternate list about a week ago. They had a problem receiving my letters but I also think theyre a bit slow in their response times.
 
it is my opinion that LECOM has about 70% of its class picked by december.....don't quote me on that though.....
 
Thanks for the response everyone. Just have to keep waiting I guess. Good luck to all alternates. I hear that a lot of changing around goes on as it gets closer to start date. There definately is still hope.
 
Just to let all of the people on the alternate list know, I will soon be giving up my spot at LECOM, because I decided to attend elsewhere. So, one of the alternates will get my spot.
 
AnnaA, where are you going instead? How did you come to the decision?
 
I am going to MSUCOM. I really liked LECOM, but I am a Michigan resident, so I am going to MSUCOM for financial reasons. I will also be a lot closer to my family. It was a tough decision (esp. with the 1500 nonrefundable deposit I put down before MSU asked me to interview) because LECOM is a great school. I really liked it there. I just think that MSU will be better for me in the long run.
 
AnnaA,
I was just wondering if you were accepted into an alternative pathway or not. I really want PBL, but have heard that it has been full for a while.
thanks for any Info.
 
Sorry, I was accepted into the lecture pathway. I thought that the other pathways looked great, but I learn best in a lecture format.

wbadb,

I don't know if this would help or not, but I did end up turning down the PBL pathway in favor of the LBP. Like AnnaA, I thought it was a great pathway, but I realized I did study better with the more structured traditional way especially after being out of school for a year. Hope you get in the pathway you want!
 
I dropped my seat so hopefully someone will get it.
