Well I just got complete today so hopefully my interview invite is coming soon too
mine was a surprisingly quick turnaround, within a week so hopefully you'll hear something soon!

Glad you had a positive experience! Did you sit in on first or second years for PBL?
I interviewed on 9/18 as well. I loved PBL, but this interview didnt go as well as my others. It wasnt me, as I was myself as always. One of the interviewers was purposely pushing my buttons and trying to steer me away from every answer I gave. Whatever, i just said what I thought was right regardless. No one else I talked to had this issue though. Strange. Maybe it was me!!
Anyway, if I do get accepted here, I will most likely have to think about LECOM-B vs. Nova. It seems LECOM-B should allow you to borrow more money to cover cost of living, even if only emergency and you wont use it, as Nova does.
How are groups assigned?
I just called the office and I am accepted for class of 2014!!!!!!SO HAPPY...interviewed 9/18
hi guys,
Do you get interview invites thru email or snail mail?

Hey, I interviewed that day too, and on the portal it says..."The Admissions Committee has made a decision on your application. You will receive an official letter in the mail within 30 days." Wonder if that's good or bad??I just called the office and I am accepted for class of 2014!!!!!!SO HAPPY...interviewed 9/18

Did the same here. I cancelled all my interviews after I got accepted. It's great how fast they get back to you. My state MD schools take months and months just to tell you you're waitlisted...
Just to throw in a little encouragement, we just got word that our 2011 class had 100% pass rate on comlex step 1.
AHHHH!!!!! Just got an interview invite!!! October 30th! Anyone else going then??

They told us about this when I interviewed. They're definitely doing something right.
FYI.. the students on my day told us that they don't let you take the test unless you score a certain level on a practice test that's even harder... so, ultimately, the 100% pass is not a true reflection of jack.

All schools require that you pass exams before you can take your boards. Evidently LECOM-B's curriculum and exams do a little better job of preparing students for boards.
Not every school can say they had a 100% first time pass rate last year. So ultimately, 100% pass rate is a sign LECOM-B is preparing students to succeed on Step 1.

I wouldn't get too hung up on statistics like pass rates. It usually quickly turns into a my school is better than your school thing. The truth is that any medical school you go to in the states will prepare you to be a physician if you work hard enough. Much of choosing a school is finding the one that fits your learning style / needs better. At LECOM B, they use a PBL system which is new to MOST people. In this case, statistics can be helpful b/c the last thing you want is to feel like you've signed up for some sort of experiement only to find out you're screwed after 4 years. Every school will require you to take exams to move forward and every school does that differently. All the pass rate really is meant to say is that PBL is different and some people may not like it, but for those who do, don't worry because it actually does work.
Not quite the same thing. It is a screening tool to see who can sit on the Comlex, not just another exam. I think it can be a good thing or a bad thing. It is also a sign that Lecom-B does not let you test unless they say you are ready. Which I think is a contrast to the schools education strategy.
