Hey thought this post would be helpful for all of us who would like to attend Lecom and got wait-listed after Dec. 1st decision and just waiting for acceptance. Anybody know what are chances are looking like!? And good luck to everyone!
 
I spoke to someone there at she says chances are 50/50 for acceptances and people on the wait list. She didn't know how many were wait listed but it sounded like our chances were good.

not yetttttt did yours? i have a feeling tomorrow afternoon/early evening they'll update the status
 
Mine hasn't and I've seen a couple of people have and I'm getting really nervous and stressed now
 
But I feel like if everyone's changed then more people would have posted it. I'm confused. By what time will they have made a decision by tomorrow?

Honestly though, people last year didn't have their portal change until after they got an acceptance email. So we still don't need to worry. They got it last year at 11am eastern.
 
this is very true. If they changed there portal for everyone we would have seen a lot more post of portal being changed.
 
yeah actually i was really surprised/ confused when i got the email tonight that i was accepted. i was prepping my mind for tomorrow needless to say I've drank a LOT OF WINEE 🙂🙂🙂🙂
 
Congrats! I wonder if it was only a couple of people whose status changed or everyone's.
 
Anyone here interviewed post-december and their LECOM portal is "Your file is under review by the Admissions Committee. We will notify you as soon as a decision has been made."? and AADSAS still says under review?
 
Is it true that there are over 500 people on the wait list?
 
i bought the ADEA Guide book for last years class aka class of 2019 and LECOM interviewed in TOTAL 586 people. there were 3,157 applicants in total. Its HIGHLY unlikely that 500 people are on the waitlist it just doesn't make any sense. I would recommend that you guys buy the ADEA guide book its only 15$ for the online version and it literally has a breakdown of everything for each school!
 
Do you guys know when they pull people off the waitlist ? Is it throughout the cycle or after the interviewed everyone for the cycle
 
Last year I called LECOM up every 3-4 weeks for updates after I was placed on their waitlist. They also told me they accept 50/50 off the waitlist, placing approximately 150 on their waitlist and accepting 70 by the end of the application cycle. What they don't tell you is with people constantly removing their name off the waitlist, they are constantly adding people to the waitlist to stay at 150 people on their waitlist, so the chances really aren't 50/50 as potentially more qualified candidates enter the waitlist pool. They do not rank applicants on the waitlist, rather they continously re-review applicants. Just take what admissions tells you about the waitlist with a grain of salt :\
