Hi shawna628- I just got accepted into D'Youville myself and am waiting on LECOM as i just interviewed there. When did you interview at D'Youville?
 
So I got a question for anybody who had an interview at LECOM. What did u like about the school and what didn't U like?

What I thought

Cons
Average age was 24 (I'm only 20)
Mandatory Attendance (I think pharmacy students r capable of attending class)
Dress Code (IDK of other pharmacy schools that have dress codes)
Not well established
Erie seems a little rural but I think I can handle that
Limited residence options at ERIE
Not much of a social network. No dorms/undergrads. Not really the college experience


Pros
Accelerate program (get out and earn a salary sooner)
Affordable
Inexpensive living
Realllllly nice new facilities, everything seems new and clean
High passing rate last year for boards 97%

I completed/paid my supplemental a little over a week ago and my status still says that my supplemental still needs to be sent in. . . . is this normal or should I call?

Normal. It takes time. My application stayed at that status till I got my interview

My brother submitted his a month or two ago and it still hasn't changed plus he didn't even get an interview yet. He's called many times and has emailed a couple people at LECOM and they haven't even responded or assisted him. I even personally talked to Tom Ross when I interviewed and told him my bros situation. He said he would email my brother, but never did.

They way they are treating my twin bro who has a 3.95+ and a 90 composite PCAT score is kind of worrying me. They basically told him they were too busy to solve his problem. His attitude is he will just go somewhere else after the troubles he's had.

I felt horrible. My interviewers weren’t pleasant and challenged my answers.

I’ll let u know if I get accepted or not

not yet but that portal changed! did you have yours on the 10th?

My portal says "The Admissions Committee has not made a decision on your file. We will notify you as soon as a decision has been made"

What does urs say??

Thanks

Were they trying to get you to say, "I want to become a pharmacist to make lots of money doing remedial labor"?

If that's the case that's kind of disappointing. If faculty is out to get you it seems like it could make for a bad atmosphere.

Sigh...I want to like LECOM
 
My interview was the second week in february and i still haven't heard- my portal still says that they haven't made a decision and i will be notified within 30 days once they make a decision...ughh i hate waiting! at least i'm not the only once whose portal says that!

No they kind of challenged my answers

They asked what makes a good leader. I said blah blah blah

Then they basically said they were looking for me to say a leader is a good remodel.

What is it…Jeopardy, where if you get the answer wrong the guy says, “Sorry, were looking for….”

Give me a break
 
My portal link says
"It was a pleasure interviewing you at LECOM Erie. The Admissions Committee will make a final decision on your application within 30 days and notify you of the decision."
So mines the same... But the committee meets on Thursdays I believe so the waiting game begins!

So did anyone of you guys send a thank you letter after your interview and if so where?

Yes i did, eventhough my interviewers were less than pleasent.

I just got the adress off their website, I can't remember where though

Isn't LECOM where the students were telling interviewees not to go there? Or was that just a rumor?
Click to expand...

Yes that was me. I was told not to attend by students while walking down the hall.

Honestly I have little faith in LECOM being an adequate school from what I've heard.

I'm really holding out for Pitt. Albiet if I don't get into Pitt I will give LECOM a try.
 
That's my dog Sheba 🙂
I have no idea what breed she is other than a mut. She was a lost puppy when we found her.

I actually like LECOM though, it seems very professional and I have a friend that goes there and she loves it. But we'll see cause everyone has a different experience
 
I'm starting to give up faith in LECOM. Nothing yet about an interview and they are no help if you call/email/ talk to them in person. The guy I am suppose to talk to has had a full voice mail for 2 weeks.


They treat you like they have hundreds of applicants with 4.0s and 99 percentile PCATS, when the fact is they are a newer Pharmacy school trying to establish themselves and I think they should do all they can to attract the most competitive applicants.

I once thought as LECOM being my number 1 (I only applied to 2, lol), but now I don't even want to go up for an interview if I get one (but I will).

Just needed to vent a little. :laugh:

Ok, I was just wondering because I'm a dog fanatic.

Yeah, I may be a little hard on LECOM. There are always disgruntled students. I bet I just got a bad first impression after I completed my interview. It went terribly. It does seem like a very professional school though.
 
It's the 2+3 or 3+3 program with LECOM. I was wondering cause I'm apart of it and I hear they accept a lot of people from it as long as you hold your GPA up but idk for sure

No I'm not apart of that. What colleges do you have to go to for unergrad for that to work for??
 
TwinsPharm. Shut up about the interview. It went good, you were just exhausted after it 5 hour drive round trip.

A bad interview is when you fumble the ball on first and ten, on your own 20 yard line.

Everyone wants a TD but a field goal aint bad as long as your D-fence brought their "A" game.

PS- I'm TwinsPharm's twin bro
 
I go to Thiel College and I've heard Gannon, Edinboro, Mercyhurst, St. something and some other ones.

That would be cool if you both went to LECOM or where ever you decide to go. You could definitely save money by splitting the bill for everything!

I spoke to admissions and they got my interview within the day for the following week. They answered all my questions immediately or got back to me the next day.

Erie is definitely not rural, especially if you know where Thiel College is Lol!

Yeah, its probably a good school. I think my bro is just being a big baby about his portal status and not getting an interview yet. It would be nice if we both go to the same University, but we will have to wait and find out.

Yeah, it sounds like u had great communication with them and good luck getting accepted.

Yeah, it may not be rural compared to Theil, but compared to pittsburgh its tiny. Anyhow I think it may be nice to get away from the big city though
 
Thanks! I mean if I don't get in it just means more time with my Brothers here and maybe get a degree before I leave undergrad
 
My portal hasn't changed yet, but I just got my acceptance letter today!!!!

Has anybody who interviewed two weeks ago got a letter yet?
