Lecom-erie-pbl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go check out the Osteopathic Class Threads. There's some of this addessed in the LECOM thread...same page as where you posted the duplicate to this post. Other than that, I'm not much help since I'm not actually starting until fall.

 

HOPEFULFUTUREDO AND IWILLBESOON:

It's strange; I was with both of you on two separate interviews. Cool, though. Congrats on getting into LECOM! Maybe we'll run into each other sometime out there while we're doing residency or practicing. I've been able to meet a lot of exceptional individuals out there because of this process and it's been really fun. Best of luck to both of you!

 

Switching at this point won't help much as there are many already on pbl wait list.

 

So it is filled up with 40 people already! Where did you hear this?

 

I'm on the wait list for PBL.....

 

I have an interview coming up at Erie soon.... do you guys think it matters if I tell them I want to do PBL over LDP... will it hurt my chances of getting in? Although, I would like to do PBL, not getting into a medical school because of a type of teaching style is ridiculous! I would much rather do LDP than not be accepted to the school at all.

 

The processes are separate. First, they decide if you're accepted, then they decide if you're a fit for PBL (or if they have spots open or whatever). That's what they told me, at least....in my packet, the acceptance letter was dated Oct. 31, but the PBL acceptance letter was dated Nov. 4. Then, on my reponse form, I have the choice of accepting the PBL acceptance, or declining it and automatically enrolling in the LDP.

 

Do you know what your final choice is, Bradenton or Erie?

 

Thanks!

 

Haha, I know, it's so hard being on the alternate list. You're waiting for Bradenton, right? Well, I'm 99% sure I'm headed for Erie....but until that check goes in the mail, I'm not promising anything!

Don't worry! I'm sure it'll work out for you.
