Unless they changed it, you won’t really get much more and what was in your packet was it until you get your matriculation packet around mid/late January. Last year, I just looked up the company and they had plenty of locations. I actually called to schedule though instead of online scheduling and customer service was helpful on the phone to get me an appointment set up!
LECOM and timely instructions are two things that will never meet. Basically like the person above said, just call up the lab or schedule online and let them know it's for certephi when there and they'll take care of the rest for the most part. Also get an alcohol test if they decided to forget to tell you guys again this year. That was real fun for us.
Alcohol test? Wym
An alcohol test to see if you have any OH in your system. Cheapest is a urine test. Its a completely pointless test that was a nice waste of $40. They forgot to include that detail in our packet so we all had to go out and get one last second. Double check with them to see if they just stopped requiring it, but I wouldn't be surprised that they forgot again.
What’s the point of it lol we’re 21+
Welcome to LECOM
Wait, you are not allowed to drink alcohol? And what if you used to live in a state where weed is legal? Would I lose my spot if I test positive for ethanol or THC?
You can drink, though you aren't allowed water in the lecture hall which is a whole different issue. They don't ever test you again so just make sure that one test is going to be clean.
You are allowed to drink if 21+. They give the test to look for those who may be alcoholics/addicted. The amount of time you would have to wait to drink (EtG test detects 3-5 days before) would cause withdrawal symptoms for those who are addicted. It’s annoying but a part of the requirements unfortunately.
All you can do now is wait. If you have any updates like added grades, extracurriculars, etc you can send update emails. I wouldn’t do that more than once a month though as to not bother the school too much.
Mail it. Get tracking though.
Nobody here will know those numbers.
So you might be suggesting that there so far has been less given acceptances compared to this time last year. Just to clarify. I am still waiting for an interview. Fingers crossed!
Are the numbers from the Facebook group usually fairly accurate/good indication of how many spots are filled?
I wouldn't say it's 100% a good way to tell how many acceptances went out or were accepted, but it was a lot higher by this time last year. Of course it could be that more don't have Facebook, don't know about the group, etc. Also, people that join those groups don't always accept their spot. Even I'm still in some fb groups for other schools.
Can you link the group?
It’s linked in an above post
Hi! I’ve been “pending” for over a week so maybe the moderator isn’t adding people to the fb group...
Most likely not an accurate depiction of the number of spots filled. Members in the group may be upperclassmen too.
What were your stats? In state? If you don’t mind sharing
Yes, definitely! Be proactive, show interest, and it will pay off.
Thank you so much!
Would we just send this to the admissions email?
I am OOS!
Do you have the email address by chance? Or is it just the [email protected]
That's the address.
Will they waitlist more people on January 15fh or is the waitlist complete?
Chandler told me they have not waitlisted anyone yet
I saw someone on Facebook claim they were already waitlisted but I guess it wasn’t true.
February 25th
I received a response this morning after sending a letter of interest. Does this necessarily mean anything??
Yeah i sent one last week and they replied. They also sent me an interview the next morning.
No. They’ll just add it to your file.
Do you mind sharing your stats and whether you’re in state or OOS?
3.7 GPA 23 AA OOS
