Congratz! Are you going for sure? I did too but I'm still debatingAccepted! 🙂
Yes, I am definitely attendingCongratz! Are you going for sure? I did too but I'm still debating
Wow, I just found out about this program... How was it for the first class? Were any of you accepted?
E V E R Y T H R E A D hahahaha. You gonna apply to this one too? It looks like it has the same rules as the post bacc at Erie for acceptance right?
Can someone currently in this Masters please give me feedback. I was a former Post bacc student at Erie and had to withdraw for family issues and am interested in pursuing this Masters instead. Since I was in Post bacc I was able to assess the difficulty level of the Post bacc. Anyone have information on how many kids have withdrawn/failed thus far? How you would rate the program's difficulty level? Particularly physio since I found that to be on the more challenging side in the Post bacc. Thanks!
Please read previous posts. If you call the office they will tell you.For those of you accepted did you get notification in the mail? I applied about a week ago and looked at my portal and it says that a decision has been made and I will get a letter in the mail. Does that mean I got in or was rejected? HELP
It starts on June 12th. You should join the FB group!Thank you I emailed them and I was accepted just waiting to get the actual letter in the mail!! I have been looking but I have not seen the actual date the program starts, can anyone let me know?
I was told that neither program "guarantees" acceptance. They only guarantee an interview if you maintain a 3.0 ... But obviously to be competitive, you want to maintain higher than that! Also, I was told by Lisa that you may have a better chance in the dental program if you attend the masters because it will give you a chance to interact with the professors. Whereas, if you are in Erie, you will almost be more like any other candidate!
Hope that helps! Good luck in your decisions and endeavors
For what reasons does LECOM Dental prefer the MMS program over Post-Bac in Erie, PA? I am also pre-dental!
It starts in two weeks, if they let you, could you manage to be ready by then?Is it still possible to apply for this program?

Then call and ask, the campus number is (941) 756-0690, ask to speak to someone about the Masters of Medical Sciences (MMS) program.Probably.
Can anyone who has done or is currently doing this program comment on what the day to day schedule is like? I saw M-F starting at 8 for approximately 4 hours but any other details would be great. Are lectures recorded? Is attendance required? How do you feel about the difficulty of the program? Have other people who did well and then went on to Lecom B DO school commented on how well it prepared them?
Much appreciated
They did this for my fileDoes anyone know if they can pull your letters of recommendation from your LECOM dental/med application, or if you need a new one specifically for the masters program? Tried emailing admissions, but have not gotten a reply.

Accepted today
I called them after I noticed my portal said that the committee made a decision on my file. Official acceptance letter comes in the mail.
I'm terribly sorry to hear that it did not pan out for you. I hope that a different opportunity comes your way. If it makes you feel any better, this masters program is only one of seven that I have been accepted to and not rejected from. In my experience, these SMPs tend to accept a specific cohort of students that they feel match well with their programs (and eventual medical programs) mission statements. This means that there are many other opportunities out there for you in which you will have a better chance. I wish you the best of luck.Ah yeah I called them this AM. Didn't get in. The guy I spoke with was very nice and helpful, reviewed my app and said I can't speak for the adcom but everything was very strong except for the MCAT which was 496. No waitlist either. He encouraged me to get it up to at least a 497 and then I'd have a good shot. So I had a 496, high science and overall gpa, 4 years RN with ICU experience, volunteering, and 3 strong LORs one which came from a graduate of their school.
Extra info for future applicants. He said they're leaning towards a minimum of 497 with at least a 40% in chem/phys and bio. Supposedly they're seeing a trend with those scores where their students are not performing as well as expected. Kind of confuses me because I thought main point of the masters was to show that your mcat or another part of the app is weak but here's your chance to prove you can handle the course work . But I guess if they're seeing the trend and students aren't proving they can hack it then it is what it is.
Anyways, good luck everyone

You're right in line with their averages. Got an email from them today
You can call or email.them and they’ll give you the information. Hal is the program coordinator. Super helpful.What exactly were the averages that they told you? And what were your stats, if you don't mind me asking.
Quick question for those in the program or have taken it. In your opinion, is it possible to juggle both a PT job and this program?Have some stats for last years group if anyone is interested:
We started with 75 people, and 68 completed the program.
44/53 people wanting to go Med got in. The average program GPA for them was 3.49.
10/14 people wanting to go Dent got in. The average program GPA for them was 3.27.
2/2 people wanting to go Pharm got in. The average program GPA for them was 2.9.
For medicine, a conditional acceptance was typically given to those who had a 3.4 by the end of the Fall, and required a 3.3 Cum to keep. Those who didn't get conditional acceptances typically got alternate acceptances if they had above a 3.0.
In addition, it looks like they are adding something for our group this year, where as long as you have a Spring GPA above 3.3, and Cum above 3, you are likely to get an acceptance. The programs pretty fair about given students opportunities.
No it will not be possible. The first part of the program is not too bad during the summer, but we are in the final stretch of the fall session right now, and its pretty brutal. I mean if you have very good time management skills then you won't be too stressed, but if you are doing a SMP your only focus should be the program.Quick question for those in the program or have taken it.

Thanks for your reply! I'm going med. I am asking due to financial reasons, yeah. My girlfriend and I want to be prepared as possible before June, that's why I ask.No it will not be possible.

Not to intrude in your personal life, but is it because of financial reasons? You can take loans for the program if you need.
With this program all you need to do is do well and you will get accepted, you don't have to be doing demanding ECs.
Also, are you going med or dental route?
