I didn't see one started so I thought I would give it a go. I received my acceptance letter today and am very excited. I am leaning favorably towards LECOM-B since I absolutely love PBL!!
 
Thanks guys I am definitely going to check out that site. Of the 4 schools I have interviewed at LECOM-B is #1, and the only other one I have scheduled now is NYCOM, so there is a good chance I'll be next year!
 
I found out yesterday! I'm still on cloud 9 :hardy: 😀.
 
What's everyone's thoughts on actually attending? I am prob going to wait till the Dec. 14th deadline, but I am leaning very favorably towards LECOM-B
 
Well I'm still deciding.. it all depends on what changes between now and December. But there are alot of aspects about the school and Flordia that I like.. so thank goodness December is 2 months away still..
 
Ooooh...I can hang out in a "Class of..." thread now.

I am also waiting it out, but am leaning heavily toward LECOM-B. I have been to the SGA site quite a bit and it's very cool (although I keep getting a line error message...can someone fix that?).

Congrats to everyone and hope to see you all there!
 
Congrats everyone! 🙂

I'm really leaning towards LECOM-Br right now, I have a friend there that really loves it. Stupid question, do we need to get in touch with the school before December 14 or is our spot automatically reserved until then?

I don't think you need to get in touch with them. I am going to try and set up an official visit with them towards the end of November to get a better feel for the everyday aspect of the school/

Same. I'm still waiting to be complete at my state school (OUCOM) so we'll see...congrats to everyone on their acceptance!
 
Hey everyone! Congrats on acceptance! Can't wait to meet you all next year 😀 Feel free to email me if you have any questions about PBL or just being a Lecomer..toodle loo!

-Patricia (Lecom-B OMS1)
 
Hey, you think its too late to apply to LECOM? I only got a 25 R MCAT (10 V, 8 B, 7 P). I'm trying to get in all my stuff by tomorrow!
 
thanks! im applying to about 14 DO schools, hopefully I get one acceptance. Crossing my fingers!
 
Hey...I got in with my 28R (10V, 10B, 8PS)...I applied fairly early, but I got an interview offer from them VERY fast. Go for it. Great school.

Curious, are you still getting this error? If so, let me know what browser you use.
 
Nope. The SGA website is all better now. I use IE explorer 7.0.6. Thanks!
 
I got in 2 weeks ago, I didn't even know we had a threat! lol
I sent in my check in and i'll be starting next august!!
 
I am from Virginia. I too will be sending my deposit at the last minute...I really love the school though!
 
I haven't posted in a while but decided to after reading a few posts here. I am currently a 4th year at LECOM-B whom is doing ortho next year in ohio. Thought I might serve to answer any Q's you guys/girls might have about rotations, how the match is going thus far for us 4th years, where to rotate and more importantly where not to, tips on studyin for boards, etc. There seems to be quite a few questions on other threads about the match for us 4th years so I though I might drop what I know. I can't give specifics but will post what I know if I get any Q's. Good luck and congrats!

Im confused are you already matched into ortho for next year? How do you feel about thee clinical years so far and the hospitals you rotated at? Was it hard to set up your rotations initially?

In regards to the first statement, I pm'd you. Clinical years have been pretty decent. I set up my own rotations so they tended to be at stronger hospitals. I have had many positive comments from attendings on my thought process and approach to pt's...which I attribute partially to PBL. Rotations were a cluster**** for us but as I understand, are much easier to deal with than when we, as the first class, did it. It was easier for me because I knew I wanted ortho from day one...so I set up a bunch of my core's at sites with ortho to get face time. So to answer your q, yes it was hard at first but is now much smoother. Which hospital you rotate at may depend on what your interested in...the best thing to do is first get your feet wet then take it from there.
 
Anybody start a facebook group?
 
I know...I just figured I'd post it for anyone else lurking...

Not quite 100% sure yet, NYCOM looks awfully good😕

I'll be making my decision by end of the day tomorrow though😱
 
In regards to sending in the deposit, does anybody know if it has to be check or can we credit card?I don't have my acceptance letter on me, also does it just have to be postmarked by the 14th or received by then?

Thanks

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it has to be received by the them by Dec. 14th. The letter reads "This fee is due in the Office of Admissions by December 14, 2007." Nowhere in my letter does it read how to pay the fee...I would assume check since it doesn't have credit card information on the form, but I could be wrong. I will be sending mine out tomorrow. Good luck Jim!

It does suck to lose that money this time of year. Christmas will be a sad situation, especially since I just started a job a month or so ago and my first $1500 went toward that deposit. But it feels damn good to have an acceptance and a plan.

Jim - I'm glad you're joining us. It's good to have met someone else in my class. 😀

I agree👍

Where did you end up finding a job? If I remember right you were trying to find something for the year.

I'm working for a state university as a research assistant in the psychology department. It's a good fit for me. I've enjoyed it so far. How are you keeping busy until school starts?

As a member entering the class of 2012, what recommendations do current students have about extra-curricular activities. I know SGA is endorsed heavily around here but what is the best way to get involved?

What other types of organizations are offered at LECOM-B that you think are the most advantageous as far as really learning the ropes, looking good on a CV for residency, helping you get involved with the school outside of the rigorous academics and the like?

Thanks for any input.

At the interview they gave us a list of all the clubs at the school. I would check that out. Most of the clubs stay very active with a variety of activities around the community.

digitlnoize: I looked over the guide to clubs and organizations and see that they list several. I knew about it before my post but thanks for the heads up anyway.

I was more interested in hearing from students who actually participated in the different ones to offer their recommendations in terms of really making headway as far as your chosen specialty is concerned or perhaps a nice social club that really won't influence your career after, say, the first two years.

Maybe some of you who frequent the forum don't know much about the specifics of a group, or can't recommend some over the others but know where I might find more information on the subject besides from the interview packet? Any help is appreciated.
