Is it weird that we only receive two weeks to accept the offer for wave 2 and 3? Aren't we supposed to have 30 days for any acceptances offered in January according to ADEA guidelines? I'm so confused and wonder why I can't find anyone else talking about this

You received an acceptance today? Do you mind if I asked when you interviewed?

Rutgers did the same to me.
 
Anyone else’s status still say this in their LECOM portal? Do they have a waitlist yet?

Can you share your stats, please? And when did you apply?

Engineering major (career switch)

Gpa:3.3
Dat TS: 18
Dat orgo: 20
Dat bio:20
Dat gen chem:15
Dat AA: 18
Applied: early August

Just so you know, stats aren’t the only thing that determines if you get an interview or acceptance. Your application is important. I had a great application, but my stats aren’t all that great relative to science majors… Also, my transcript shows that I can take a full course load between 18-20 credits

I don't know how you got an interview with a score of 15 in gen chem, they have a minimum requirements of 16 for every section.

Plus, it different thread you said that ur scores are: So.....I have doubts haha

That was a typo. I got a 15 on gen chem…
some schools have a minimum 16 for each individual section. LECOM did not have that requirement. I called them before I paid money to apply… Schools tend to look at AA & TS, not individual

I applied to 8 schools and 4 interview invites… only interviewed at 3 and got into 2…

My status still says “none” and I interviewed in August of 2021. Does that mean anything?
 
I applied with a 3.75 gpa and a 22 dat back in august and still haven’t received any interview or update whatsoever.
 
Any news with acceptances recently? Nobody is talking about them on the Facebook interview group nor on this SDN page. The only indicator is the Lecom facebook group which gained like 20 members in the course of last month lol

I have very similar stats as you along with HUNDREDS of volunteering and shadowing hours. I interviewed with lecom in august and have yet to receive any update whatsoever even though I watch them accept people with much lower stats and less experiences. I cannot for the life of me understand what they’re looking for. I got accepted to Pitt Dental lol you’d think I’d be accepted to lecom

At least you got an interview. I didn’t even get one lol. I had hundreds of volunteering hours and shadowed two dentists as well. You’d think with a 3.75 gpa and 22 dat I’d get an interview at the very least since I applied in august. I got accepted to a dental school too so it’s fine.

Did you ever reach out to them? I sent them letters of interest/intent but clearly that didn’t help
