ohio, I'm from Columbus as well... but I'm currently on the waitlist... maybe, just maybe, you'll have a Buckeye friend next year.
Butterfly, we've got a group of 2013 Columbus people going out tomorrow night. Wanna come? PM me for the details.

My home state is in the same league as Korea? Wow!
(Incidentally, the only way you'd get deployed here in North Dakota for a full deployment is in the air force. We've had a few guard units from Michigan in the area thanks to the flooding in Fargo, but I believe they're pretty much done now.)
....My fiance is from Dillon....QUOTE]
I've got to say there's not much about Dillon that I like. When my highschool would travel to Dillon to play football there was sure to be at least one knife fight amongst the crowd....hahahah!
True true, She says that was about par for the course. She's a vicious knife fighter in a corner. Keep the pointy objects away from her is your best bet for survival.
HEY GUYS (okay this is is caps cuz i need people to read this instead of glancing over it. lol)
SO I'M MOVING FROM PHILADELPHIA TO BRADENTON SOMETIME IN JULY OBV TO START CLASSES. AND I'M LOOKING TO LIVE AT THE YACHT CLUB, BUT I NEED A ROOMATE....SOOOO IF ANYONE IS LOOKING FOR ME...MAYBE WE CAN TALK??? OR MAYBE ANYONE CAN HELP ME FIND ONE???
I REALLY NEED HELP. THIS IS SOOO FRUSTRATINGGGG
Breathe. You're about to start medical school. It'll be ok.
Have you tried: Facebook class of 2013 group? Facebook listings? Lecom B sga website? Craigslist (scary for roommates good for houses)?
Just go friend everyone in the 2013 group and make some friends...
FYI waitlisters you'll also need to get a background check and send all your official transcripts to the school. You may be able to get a jump start on these tasks.
When I talked to heather on the phone about accepting a position on the waitlist, she did not mention transcripts, background checks or immunization shots.
Does anyone know for sure what a waitlister is responsible for at LECOM Bradenton. There is a clear list for those who are accepted however, I have yet to find this list for waitlisters.
also, I just joined yesterday so please forgive me if this information is outlined some where else on this website.

...we think we're #1 this year, but won't know for another month or two...
My school rocks.
Does anyone know if LECOM-B has a simulator patient? I had an interview last week but I don't remember them mentioning it or seeing it.

Hey guys...just an update to clear up some of the Board Score confusion:
Last year LECOM-B was #2 in both "COMLEX Pass Rate" and "Average COMLEX Score".
COMLEX Pass Rate is just the number of students that passed the COMLEX. We had 4 failures total, which is pretty good.
The official results for this year won't be finalized until May or June, but we know that the school which was #1 last year (TCOM) had far more failures this year than we did...we think we're #1 this year, but won't know for another month or two...
My school rocks.
On another note Im getting very anxious I interviewed on April 6th and haven't heard anything yet. I know things are probably taking longer since its near the end of the cycle but I really liked LECOM-B and as each day passes I become more nervous!
Well it's official...... I am now DONE with 2nd year!!! (except for boards)
Now for a couple days of brain healing.
Good luck to those of you still waiting to hear back!!
I just wanted to ask for advice from some of the "veteran" students at Lecom-B on what I should do to prepare for what is about to come. I want to know as much as possible on how to prepare for the classes, the stress, and also i want to get to know all of you!!!!
If anyone has any advice, please post it here. I'll be anxiously waiting for your posts!!!!
I LOVE YOU ALL GUYS!!!!
Hi guys!!! It has been such a long time since i have posted here!! Last time, i was getting ready for my interview in January. I found out the following week that I got in!!!

Thanks a lot nlax30 and digitlnoize!!! I just want to be prepared for what is about to come. So far nobody has sent me the book list for 2013, and I don't see it in my portal either; Maybe I should e-mail them to ask, because I don't want to wait until the first day of class, when I am going to end up paying a lot of $$
I also was wondering if I can get a bird's eye view of the next 4 years (especially rotations/clinics). I have heard that I have to pretty much schedule my own rotations with little help from the university. How do/did you guys do it? Where do I start? ...How about specializations?
Again, thanks a lot for all your help. I am very excited because I am about to start the career of my dreams!!
P.S.: I have already joined the facebook class of 2013!!!
Hi guys.. thanks a lot for your replies, since i am trying to learn as much about the whole process as i can. I wanted to know if there is a specific type of laptop that i should buy, or if I can just buy any. Which one would you think would be the best buy for what I will need? Are there any other items (e.g. recorder, etc..) that would make my life easier? Is there anything else that you can recommend me to do/buy/read?
Hope to meet you some day!!!
Does anyone know about the time that majority of the wait-listers are offered positions? I keep hearing that May 15th is when most medical schools require a commitment and there are a lot of positions that come available at that time.
I read that LECOM Bradenton took 60% from the wait list last year. Did most of this occur at a particular time?
Really? I have Moore's 4th edition, which I stop reading in favor of Gray's. Sure, Gray's is twice as long, very dry and dense, and cost 3x as much, but for quality of information...Grey's seemed a much better text.

Gray's Anatomy, 40th Edition - The Anatomical Basis of Clinical Practice, Expert Consult
Basically, this is what I used...although I think I used the 38th edition as that was the newest edition when I went through Chiropractic College. I still have both sitting on my bookshelf
My mom just gave me her "Moore Clinically Oriented anatomy 2nd edition" she used in her class twenty years ago!! She was surprised that Moore has only reached a 4th edition. She said she spent $225.00 back then so $199 for 4th edition is a steal.
Its actually up to its sixth edition. I found the 4th for like $2 online used. http://www.amazon.com/Clinically-Oriented-Anatomy-Keith-Moore/dp/0683061410 Is the new book list out? or are you guys going off the old one thats on the website?
$199??!!
May want to check that again, where are you seeing it for $199?
You can find the 6th ed in paperback for <$70 on Amazon.
I live about 65 miles south of Lakewood ranch. I am hoping to go to school at LECOM in about 3 years. But when you come house hunt you may be able to find something in Sarasota. Wonderful school system to my knowledge and I would think with traffic same distant south than north to tampa.
After May 15th is when things really start moving. I think June is probably the busiest month, but no promises...
I'm wondering if LECOM-B conducted more interviews than the previous years since there was an increase in applications...
If they did...I wouldn't count too much on the 60% acceptance from the WL....
I wouldn't guess that there were too many more. The interview groups I saw were about the same number as the group I was in, and they lasted about as many weeks.
I mean, there may have been some small variation, but I certainly don't think they interviewed THAT many more applicants...
Also, remember that waitlists are very fickle creatures. I know of at least 2 people on the waitlist here that are likely going elsewhere. This type of thing also adds to the high acceptance figure. It's not JUST people dropping their LECOM-B acceptances, it's also people leaving the waitlist.
Right now, many people are on waitlists for their 1st choice schools. This is what happened to me last year. I was holding out for my state MD schools (not b/c I care about MD vs. DO...having worked in a hospital with both, I can tell you that it's really not a big deal SDN...) but because we preferred to be closer to home and family, since we have a kid and all...
Fortunately, I didn't get into either of those places. Their waitlists (which normally move ALOT) didn't move at all because another state school overaccepted their class, so THEY didn't offer waitlists spots and there was a trickle-down effect.
So, our final decision to come here wasn't made until mid-late June, when it became: "holy crap, we need to find a house and schedule movers NOW". But, it could have easily gone the other way too, and there would have been an extra open slot here in June.
Luckily that didn't happen. Once we were here and in class, we realized that we LOVE the area, that our family can come visit often enough, and that the school is spectacular (which I knew already, of course!).
The Bottom Line is this: Be patient and persistent. You'll wind up in the place that is right for you when the time is right. If you don't get in this year, fix your apps and reapply. It'll happen. Just want it bad enough.

Hey guys,
A question for all you starting first years,
Have we received a list yet of books for us to purchase? I'm still scrambling to get all my paperwork in, but soon I'll have to find an apartment for the wife and I. After that I figure I'll need to snag the books for next year but I haven't gotten any lists or anything of the like yet.
Am I missing something? I see people discussing this edition or that, and I haven't even gotten all my test results in.

No book list yet as far as I know.
On a different note, I just got my financial aid award letter yesterday, so that stuff is starting to roll out. They'll send you an email when yours is ready.
Yay for my first $58k in debt!
