Hello everyone! Is anyones application portal showing this? Up until yesterday, it only showed a green checkmark for application fee. when I logged on to check today, it showed all of these missing items which have already been submitted via aadsas. I submitted my application during the first week of June but still haven't heard anything back. When I emailed them, they said it is under review but on the site it still shows waiting to be reviewed.

That’s odd, I submitted my application on July 28th, received email for secondary on July30th, and everything marked green. Maybe you should check with them again to make sure everything is going well.

I read on Reddit someone saying that they contacted LECOM and they’re aware of this issue. They said LECOM will personally email you if you have something missing or need anything else

How long did it take to receive the secondary/supplemental fee email? I submitted my application two weeks ago and have not received anything yet. Is it worth following up now?

i received mine 2 days after my aadsas application was verified.

For those who have interviewed, do you know if there is a storage room or someplace to put luggage during the interview?

[booboopredent]

For anyone who applied in August, is your app still labeled waiting to be reviewed?

 

[rednation]

Anyone know how long it takes to hear back from LECOM after you submit the supplemental application? It's been 2 weeks for me since I submitted

 

[ILoveFlossing]

For anyone who applied in August, is your app still labeled waiting to be reviewed?

Yes mine says the same thing

 

[FutureDenty24]

Completed my supplemental 7/22, marked application complete "waiting to be reviewed" on LECOM portal 8/14. The portal doesn't make it seem like I'm missing anything, but it's been a month & a half since marked "complete" and it still hasn't moved to "under review". Should I reach out to the admissions via email?

Do you plan on reaching out?

 

[ToothTitan]

So I have an interview with LECOM on 10/11/2024. I tried contacting admissions to see what the situation was of the school with the hurricane but they didn’t pick up. Does anyone know any information would be helpful!
