Welcome LECOM-Erie class of 2014!!!!
Hey, where is everyone from?
I'm coming from good ol' Binghamton Ny...
Out of curiosity, who is PBL at Erie. I would like to know who I will be meeting in the near future?
I'm in the LDP pathway coming from Pennsylvania. I live like an hour from the school right now. I don't think we have to start sending things in like official transcripts and immunization records until the spring. I can't imagine them needing them any sooner since they'll keep on interviewing and offering acceptances through the first part of 2010.
Does anyone know when orientation is and when the first day of class starts?
If they go with the last week of July again, it'd be July 26th through July 30th for us.For class of 2013 orientation and classes started July 27-July 31, from the catalog below.

Nothing I know that's up for us yet.
Today I went shopping for a winter coat and a winter car....Wish me luck!!! The most snow I've seen in my life was 4 inches. Then it melted in two days. I think I'm in for a surprise!!!!!
Just got accepted! Lecture pathway Erie
It's all about the snow tires. Throw a nice set on just about any car, and you'll do just fine getting around in-town in Northwest PA (Might have some troubles with a RWD vehicle unless you load the trunk with sandbags and take it easy.) I have yet to have problems up here with any of my vehicles, but my AWD Subaru with snow tires performed the best by far (I'm driving a FWD Toyota now, and it does just fine once I put my winter wheels with Blizzaks on it.)lmao Goodluck! Yea I'm afraid of the snow, what kind of car were you looking at? I just got a new car 3 months ago but I don't think it's going to fare well in the snow
Congrats! PBL for me. I never even got to tour the bay building!
Thanks
I think that is only for the masters program students
I thought that it was only for postbacc as well, but on the tour I was told they were moving PBL over there and keeping the PBL rooms at the main campus for study. Maybe I just heard wrong, my mind was racing 1,000 mph anyway.

Yeah - I'm definitely finding a place with a garage or a carport. Removing two feet of snow from on and around your vehicle in below freezing temperatures is the worst (I had to park outside of my parents' place all through high school...) I can only imagine how much worse it would be at 7:00AM whilst dressed in business attire for class that day...I'll have to invest in some snow tires then, maybe in an apartment with a garage too lol
Any car registered in PA has to be inspected yearly, so if you plan to buy a winter beater car, make sure it's one that's in fairly good condition. They'll check pretty much all the basics for the inspection, and if your car fails, you can't drive it here until you get it repaired and have it reinspected (The ticket for an uninspected vehicle is almost $200 when all is said and done.) I know for a fact they'll check break wear on the pads and rotors, your tires have to have at least 4/32 for tread depth, there can be no exhaust or fuel leaks, all the lights and other necessary electronics have to work, and the body/frame can't be considered a hazard (I had an old Celica that wouldn't pass because the floor was starting to rust.) Some counties require emissions testing too, so the muffler and catalytic converter have to be in good working order as well (I'm pretty sure residents of Erie are required to pass the emissions tests.) Just some things to consider now before you make any decisions. Owning a beater car in PA is such a hassle...I have had good luck so far with winter jackets but changing cars is going to be a pain!!!! I am torn between trading my new rear-wheel drive car in for a new front wheel drive/ four wheel drive car or get a used winter car and hope it makes it!!!!
I sent mine in.I know that you send in the Address Form along with the deposit, but do you also send in the Matriculation Agreement form as well?
It doesn't specify on the acceptance letter that the Matriculation Agreement needs to be sent in, but there is a name/signature portion at the end.

Thanks. I made a copy of it and sent it in as well.
If you log in to the website with the password&username they gave us they actually have a checklist of what we need to submit, like the one we had for our interview. They have everything we need to do there. Even though I sent in the matriculation agreement it says it's still missing so I'll just wait till they contact me.
It took them almost a month to do anything with my check. Don't use it as an indicator as to whether or not they've received it. Your best bet is to call and ask, or check the online portal (It's the same place that you completed your secondary - Use the username/password they emailed you.)What's the link to check what you need to send in after acceptance?
I sent in my check last Thursday but they haven't deposited it yet. Due date is this Friday. Should I call? I can never seem to get a hold of anyone at admission!

I talked to AMY and she said they won't start your file until you send the matriculation form in, too.
Probably because we're technically medical students now that we've been accepted and most of us have placed deposits to hold our spot. We just haven't started yet.Why did they move this thread?
Got into PBL today, parents seem a bit concerned, but unless I get into a significantly better school, im at LECOM. Coming from Buffalo, NY

I am in the PBL in Erie and I am from Arkansas.
Does anyone know if we need to start sending our information (shots, transcripts, background checks, ect.) now or are we to wait for a later date? I don't want to send information early and get lost nor do I want to wait too late to fix any problems I may come across.
