Fall GPA. Im sure it might be a red flag if you’re failing a spring semester course though. I posted above they did hold all acceptances till after spring finals one year (2 years ago now I think) so that one clearly spring GPA mattered but besides that year. Just fall GPA
That helps. Thanks for your clarification. Appreciate it.
Absolutely not. Some people had a casual job where they worked like 8-16 hours a month just to keep it for summer and winter breaks. But I do know out of the few people who did this that I knew personally half of them ended up not making the cut off so.
I tried to join one it says pending acceptance on it though. I just recently got accepted
Thanks for your response.
Can you share the link? Recently accepted too
Here’s the link to it although I don’t know if it will directly take you to it. If it doesn’t then let me know I can add you through Facebook
Thank you! Found it!
You need the minimum of a 497 to be able to matriculate from the Mms program into the DO. But as long as you meet the gpa requirement for Mms program you will get that interview. Students in the past suggested to aim above the required 3.3 to increase you chances of getting in.
I was in the same situation. You do not need to fill out any transcript info. They automatically do it for you so no further action is required!
Thank you for your response!
Sounds good, thank you!
Sounds good, thank you letting us know.
Last year they held 2 information sessions for us before the program began--one in May and another in July. The information sessions were structured with powerpoint presentations where they talk about the history of the school, the MMS curriculum, etc. If you have specific questions, it's a great time to bring them. They also had some time for us to ask questions to a few students who were planning to matriculate to the DO program from MMS and they were very open about their experiences so don't be afraid to ask.
Awesome, thank you for sharing that.
So they ask for a deposit to secure your seat, but ours last year didn't have any deadline associated with it. However, once I sent in the deposit, I received a matriculation packet with a list of forms to complete (including a physical) that had to be returned to LECOM, via mail, by July 1st.
I talked to jack ogden and he said Erie Mms program has not made a decision whether or not it will be online or in person. He said they will have a finally decision by April. He did say that if they can do it in person then they prefer that. I heard from a current mms student at Bradenton and she said the program will be online for next year (Bradenton Mms program)
Did you receive the 3 questions and submit response to those questions in video format?
It means you'll get a letter about admission in the mail.
I did not, I just wrote an essay.
I'm just perplexed that they made a decision in 1 week, and wondering if it's a rejection... :/
That's really surprising. From people who applied and were selected received video interview questions prior to getting a letter of acceptance/denial.
They were very quick to make a decision for me and I got accepted. So I wouldn't worry
How come some people are getting interviews and some don't? I got accepted and didn't have any interview questions.
Very strange. May be applicants who received interview questions are sub par from those who don't and they would like to know more about them from video evaluation perspective or applicants who didn't get questions have already applied to LECOM DO through regular application cycle and were thus screened out in a seperate manner than MMS application. Not really sure about specific reason.
Yah that makes sense
Not even a single acceptance offered to MMS class yet?! What if they offer acceptance in May and there are no seats left for upcoming fall and you get pushed to next year by having gap year? There are so "Ifs" and "Buts" about this program.
At least a couple of Erie MMS students who ranked Bradenton as their #1 pathway/location were offered seats this week.
Thanks for the info! Does that mean seats at the Erie, seton hill, and elmira campus are full? Even if you get accepted in May, are you offered seat for the next year? Did they tell you when the rest of acceptances will be offered? Trying to make my best bet before I start MMS in the fall. Thanks again!!!
No word yet for the Erie branches. Could be any day, could be after graduation, we don’t know.
Its so weird. Looking at the past MMS years, people started getting acceptances in late feb or early march. This year no acceptances for the Erie branch. I am wondering if COVID has got to do anything with it or they found better applicants to fill their class from general pool or linkage of MMS with DO has weakened?!! I hope some of you start getting acceptances soon 🙏
Will sure send word when we hear anything. We are all on the edge of our seats as well.
Can Erie MMS students also rank Bradenton? I assumed they could only rank Erie, SH, or Elmira.
Yes, you can! I'm a current Erie MMS student that is conditionally accepted at Bradenton.
Can a Bradenton MMS student rank the other campuses?
Ahhh thank you! That does make me feel a little more at ease.
So, if they wait until May/June to send acceptances, then obviously you won't be able to secure your choice of campus and pathway since they might get filled with general pool applicants. Which is the least competitive pathway and campus that MMS students are offered if accepted in May/June after completing MMS program? Thanks!
