As the acceptances roll in, thought it might be worth starting our own class thread!
OH YES! Bring on the class of 2016
I will be at the Seton Hill campus doing PBL
I'll be in Erie doing the LDP.
Anyone else think it's nice that we know this early?
I'm from upstate NY, about 4 hours from Erie. Therefore, I am already accustomed to the lovely winter weather.
Although I suppose it doesn't really matter what the weather is like when we're face deep in textbooks, huh?
I was accepted, and if I am not accepted to SOMA, this is where I'll be attending... Not sure what to do about housing... houses are SO cheap in this area... it's sad really... but I could pay the thing off in less than 10 years!
I know this is super early but anybody know when the white coat ceremony is?
Class of 2015 is February 11, 2012. I imagine yours will be similar.
Omg. If sb attends I'm gonna have a liberal in my class AHHHH lol
Anyways what's up class of 2016. I'm so pumped to be going here but I am anxious. Fall can't come soon enough.

I was, until I found out you can only do your residency in like 5 places. That was a deal breaker for me. Honestly, I think I am going to go into IM, because I've decided I don't want to work with kids, and I really don't think I want to do any OB/Gyn work either... we'll see of course but... Unless you want to do your residency in one of a few places, reconsider the PCSP
Also, I changed the FB group to be all-inclusive...
Hey guys. I was accepted last month and didn't see this group till now. Congrats to everyone. And yes, I was accepted in the PCSP at LECOM Erie. Are you in the program too?WOOP WOOP!!! For LECOM 2016! I was just accepted this past weekend. Anyone looking into the PCSP?
Oh.....do you happen to know where those 5 residency sites are located? Where did you find this information? Thanks!I was, until I found out you can only do your residency in like 5 places.

Yes, I was also under the same impression at the interview. Thought we would be getting into the program later on. But, do you know where I could find information about the residency program options if I do this program. Thanks!Yup! I am a little nervous about it but I think it would be very beneficial considering I know for sure that I want to go into primary care. I didn't realize that we would be accepted into the PCSP right away, I was under the impression that we had to interview to get into it. Correct me if I am wrong.
For those of you who are not aware or have not done so yet, please go to http://www.capwiz.com/aacom/issues/a...983501&type=CO and type in your name and info so your voice is heard. Your future as a physician is on the line as the super committee is trying to cut the funding for residency programs in half, which means you have a good chance at not getting into one. They are meeting on 11/23/11 so act fast!
I don't think anyone envies med students except those of us wishing we were already in our 4th year... I certainly wish I could be done this year.... but...... instead I'll graduate at 40...Congrats to all those accepted... I'm almost done with 4th year at LECOM Erie it's been a trip. Can't say that I envy the work you'll have to do but good luck to you.
It depends on what you want. Bradenton>Erie, but I'm not sure how you feel about LECOM vs AZCOM... There are pros and cons to both...
I have my interview at 01/27. Is it too late for an admission? I see a lot of people are getting in and my interview is still a month away.

Are you going to stay in Erie? If not (and you probably won't) then I wouldn't buy a house. You'll be in Erie for 2 years for preclinical and then you'll head out for rotations. It would be nice to own a house but when you move can you sell it for at least what you paid for it? In this market probably not, In all honesty you'll probably even lose money in the deal. Just rent, it'll be easier on you to not have to worry about selling when the time comes and having to maintain the house while you are there. You want time to study and have fun, you'll have plenty of time in the future to own a house so don't worry about it now.Tell me what you guys think about buying a home rather than renting during medical school in Erie? I have enough cash to buy the home outright. The only negative I can think of is the occasional work I would have to put into maintaining a house.
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for your help. What area is a good place to rent if not Erie? Is Erie a bad neighborhood?
