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

 

[sad1232]

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 has interviewed: did they send you an email with an agenda for interview day? I interview this friday and haven't heard anything

Yeah they sent an agenda like two days before

 

[futuredent25]

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!

Same here! Completed supplemental in July and my LECOM portal still says "waiting to be reviewed". I have emailed a couple times and they just said they have everything and will let me know if anything is missing.

I didnt apply here but we have the same mail out date. Where else did you apply and get interviews? I have slightly lower stats than you also.

 

[predental327]

do you think they will send out more interviews

 

[mangonade]

psa to check your aadsas portal to see if the status change says "invited for interview". mine said that but the LECOM system never emailed me or updated in the portal 🙁

i gave their office a call to check in and they had to manually email me for my interview

 

[hopefuldentist18]

do you think they will send out more interviews

Does your portal still say waiting to be reviewed? I submitted 6/27 and have yet to hear back for an interview, and my portal is still stating 'Application Completed'. Judging from previous comments, reaching out to the school hasn't been very fruitful in determining when the application will be reviewed, but I have seen a number of people with much later mail-out dates getting invites with similar stats to mine. 🙁

 

[predental327]

mine also says application completed, i submitted mid June.

 

[futuredentist2029]

Did anyone receive an acceptance email?

Email

 

[bluejay7016]

Has anyone received a waitlist or rejection email?

 

[hopefuldentist18]

Just received a rejection email this morning. Interestingly, my portal still says my application is waiting to be reviewed, so it seems they aren't updating that as applications are being seen

Sorry abt that. Did you interview?

 

[hopefuldentist18]

Sorry abt that. Did you interview?

Nope! I submitted late June and hadn't heard anything from the school, even after sending an email in November to ask about any updates on application reviews

 

[Dentist becoming]

Any group chats or anything? Dm if you plan on going here

 

[Dental_Dude120]

Accepted off waitlist today.
