Because there are people that do not want to go out of state for dental school, and even better if the DS is 30 minutes from home 😉

I’m getting my info from the 4 years I spent there earning my undergrad degree, don’t act like you’re a GNV expert. It isn’t

I promise you'll have a change of heart if you live there for a prolonged period of time. It's a garbagecan, the city literally relies on UF to stay afloat

Back to brass tacks guys anyone get off the waitlist ????
WELL THEN... this chat just got really awkward really fast lol! As a current student, here’s what I’ll say to all of this:
Not everyone who applies to LECOM does it as a “gimme in hopes to get better offers.” This school was in my top three and I’m here. So yes, there are plenty of people who want to be here! To those who didn’t get the results you wanted, I’m so sorry. I know this process is hard, but it is a part of life that you don’t always get what you want, unfortunately. No matter what happens at the end of this cycle, please keep going and don’t give up. I’m sure where ever you end up, you’ll be a great dentist! As others have stated, LECOM is a great school and has its positives and negatives just like every other dental school, but let’s keep this thread upbeat please. I understand this process is frustrating, but I hope you can try to see the positive in your situation, whatever that may be. There are plenty of applicants who spent thousands of dollars who didn’t even get an interview this cycle. Please count your blessings to even be selected for one, and realize there are people reading who wished they were in your shoes, whether that is the waitlist or even an interview. Trust me when I say that your day will come, and I promise you will end up where you were meant to go! Moving forward, can we please keep this thread on topic and professional.

Coa is accurate. D1 is 10 months, whereas the other years are 12 months. It's why the living expenses and misc loans increase.
Has anyone been taken off the waitlist recently or at all yet?
To anyone who interviewed and did not get on the waitlist or accepted, did you get an official rejection yet? Or nothing?
When did you interview? My friend interviewed early Apr and got a waitlist offer a few days ago. If you just recently interviewed, they might not get up to you yet. If you interviewed awhile back and did not get any waitlist or rejection email/portal change, I think you are still being considered for a spot.
I did not receive an email and when I interviewed they said its rolling admissions. I found out because I checked aadsas and it was updated.
No :/
Nope. I haven’t heard of any waitlist movement at all yet. I don’t think they even started pulling people from the waitlist

which school ? if you don’t mind me asking
Yes, you fill out a scholarship application in the fall and it's applied toward spring tuition. It's not a huge scholarship (basically everyone that applies gets it), but it still helps.
Not that I’ve heard
I’ve heard that in past years more than half the class came from the waitlist but who knows with this cycle
Me too I really want to get off this waitlist
Nope because I haven’t been accepted anywhere, only placed on 2 waitlists

Try 5 waitlists zero acceptances 😂
I know someone was accepted yesterday.
Off the waitlist?
I have no idea, I’m wondering the same things 😭😭😭
Yes
Omg that is so unbelievably nerve wracking. Especially since the new application opens today I don’t really want to spend thousands of dollars reapplying if I get off the waitlist but then if I don’t, and don’t reapply I’m screwed. It’s honestly really messed up that they put us in these situations
Have you heard of any waitlist movement at all from LECOM? I’ve heard nothing. So is the class full?
Meaning have you heard of anyone that’s been accepted off the waitlist yet?

Yeah I agree I also feel like there hasn’t been any waitlist movement either which is weird because no one knows if the class is full or not. I know they did release the waitlist late this year in comparison to previous years so idk if that has something to do with it? But I just want to know if the class is full and when to expect possible waitlist movement
Does anyone have any anecdotal info on how big/small the alternate list is and when/how many people have been taken off it in the past? I know someone from the past few yrs at LECOM posted somewhere on SDN that a significant portion of their class was accepted as an alternate, but has anyone else heard anything similar happen recently
No one on here knows how big or small the alternate list is, let alone when or how many people will receive a seat.
If you're still on the list, then there's a good chance that the class is NOT full. If the class was full, you would've been denied already.
With ~2 months left until the first day of school, if you're still on the alternate list, you should strongly consider reapplying. Better to have the next round of applications in early than scramble to submit late.
It’s just weird because to my knowledge they still haven’t pulled anyone from the waitlist. Why make it if very few will be accepted off?
Hahahaha same!
I know of one person that was accepted off the waitlist 2 weeks ago. They interviewed mid February and have a 3.5 cGPA, 3.4 sGPA, 24 AA and 22 PAT. So I guess waitlist movement did start but this person does not know anyone else that’s been accepted off the waitlist
Yes he did
dude that was such a tease lol
The policy isn't really enforced. The hardware is more important since the exam software does require those specs for ram and processor.

Thank you!! I really don’t wanna buy a new laptop.
Can I please DM you? Looking to apply to LECOM this cycle with a lower DAT
Nope. I don’t understand what’s going on. In previous years there’s been a decent amount of waitlist movement and this year I only know of one person that’s been accepted off the waitlist. Why even make the waitlist if most people won’t be accepted off?
YEP. Like what am I supposed to do just wait around until July to see if I get in? I’ve been putting so much on hold clinging on to the fact that I still have a chance to be accepted but at this point I feel like it’s false hope and I should just accept the fact that I have to reapply 🤬

Wondering the same thing honestly
Haven’t heard anything. It’s been so quiet it’s scary
It’s so annoying because in previous years half the class came from the waitlist so what’s the issue this year? I know of OME person that’s been accepted off the waitlist. ONE
If you look on the AADSAS website at their refund policy, it states that reapplicants accepted after June 1st from the previous cycle can request a refund within two weeks of their acceptance. If you can get a refund once accepted, I don’t see why you would wait and make your app later if it’s ready to submit for this cycle.
