Hey D1 quick question, When did the majority of people commit to the MMS program? Need to find roommates but only seeing DO students commited so far. Would you advise living with first year DO students?

I know a fair amount of people committed pretty close to the start date. I don't see why it would be a bad idea to live with one of the medical students. They may be a little skeptical that you'll not finish the program and try to skip out on your lease somehow though. I think it's irrelevant who your with as long as they pay their bills and don't get on your nerves. Having an MMS student would really help you though considering you won't survive off of only studying alone.

Do you think I should wait for the MMS page to get bigger and find roommates or try to lock down an apartment with 2 med students?

If you can find something that fits your budget now I would go ahead and do it. The med students will definitely try and stay in med school. An MMS student may not last through the program. You’ll probably have to change roommates anyway for when you start med/dent school anyway so I don’t think it matters who you’re with this next year.

Hi! what were your stats like? I'm thinking about applying for the dental track but gpa is borderline. Also heard this is very hard and they don't guarantee matriculation into the dental school even if you meet the guidelines.. did you look into any other masters/post baccs?

Hey Jay,

Do remember when the your MMS class filled up or committed to the program? Im trying to find roommates in the MMS but it seems only 10 people joined the FB group and 200+ joined the dental/med school group. I want to wait to get roomates in my program but theyve not committed yet.

Has anyone gotten in without an interview?

For roommates, just post in the roommate forum on the portal what you're looking for/ look for MMS posts... that's how I found a roommate, but I'm living with a incoming 1st year med student

Congrats man!! I have 2 questions I’m curious about. What gpa did you get in the program/was needed for acceptance? I’m entering Pre-med too. And what month before the program started did most students commit to the program? I’m trying to find MMS roommates lol

Do you think it's possible to still apply?

Yep. People applied and were given a seat less than a month from the start of the program.

I want to add a word of encouragement to everyone considering this program. I mentioned previously that there has been issues in this program. The person that is taking over as the director of the MMS is fully on your side. He is very compassionate and was receptive to issues in this program that I have seen. He is looking to spearhead a lot of change and to seriously improve it. His goal is to make a program that in the future could lead to "80% acceptance of MMS applicants" and to "make the MMS very desirable and competitive for applicants." I think you all are going to be in good hands as far as the leader for this program is concerned. I hope that this attitude will trickle down and positively impact that whole program. He is wanting to form a council of alumni to help guide the program's improvements. That should really tell you something if he is willing to listen to students like this. Feel free to message me if you have questions.

I think maybe we’ll do online for a couple weeks but the start date will be the same?
I don’t know! I just signed a 10 month lease so I’m hoping the program will still end late April

Yes i got accepted .. when do we get our financial award??
Click to expand...

Thats controlled by the govt, FAFSA should get back to you in 3-5 days after you fill out the form. I finished mine 3 days ago and they haven't gotten back to me either
 
Have anyone been accepted in the past few weeks? I’m still anxiously waiting after applying back in March.
 
From last year, the MMS are one of the last ones to receive notification of the financial aid package because they prioritize the other graduate programs first. Regardless, all you're going to get is loans so it's not like you're going to be surprised by anything.
 
Does anyone know where I can pay the $400 2nd admission deposit on the portal? I was told it would be under the admissions tab and then under the required letters and credit tab but I can not find it.
 
Hello everyone! Hope you guys are holding up well with everything that's going on. I recently applied to LECOM five days ago approximately with my primary and seconday apps of course. My CGPA is a 3.4, and my SGPA is 3.2. Unforutantely due to the COVID-19 crisis, my MCAT exam was cancelled. So, I applied with the AIS score which came out to 115. What do you guys think my chances of acceptance are?

I didn’t find anywhere on the portal to pay by credit card so I mailed them a check.

I would say make sure to study a little bit every day starting from the day you get the information. The workload is impossible to learn in a short amount of time.

The required MCAT was a 497 and the GPA for just the interview was a 3.0. I heard the people who got waitlisted had below 3.5 (there may be other factors affecting who got waitlisted though)

I had a 3.5 GPA during the interview and I was accepted, I heard some people were waitlisted to the med program with a 3.4 GPA but I am not sure that everyone with 3.4 was waitlisted. I committed to the program pretty much as soon as I got my acceptance letter in April and I found a roommate on the lecom roommate search on the portal a few days later! I think a lot of other people committed almost as soon as they got their letter because this is the last chance for a lot of people. But be careful when choosing your roommate because there are a quite a few people that dropped after summer semester whether it be because they failed out or they were accepted to another school last minute.

Thanks for replying! How many hours did you study a day? How did your average day look like during the program? Congrats on being accepted to med school!
 
GDR_473 said:
The semester isn't finished yet but I would estimate around 30 people. I'm sure more will be accepted when the program ends and final grades come in.
