I just got an email that LECOM received my primary application, and in the email it says they can't accept my MCAT because I scored below the 40th percentile. But...I scored a 505. Isnt that above 50th percentile? 60th? Is this an error on LECOM's part, or am I misunderstanding something?

I would for sure email them back and explain it. And resend your MCAT score via aamc
 
In the LECOM thread, someone else mentioned this happening to them, and it was an error I believe. Definitely contact them.
 
This happened to me with LECOM-Bradenton. Interestingly, NOVA also had an error with my app which prevented them from giving me a secondary. I don't think Florida wants me very much...which is fine, I hate beautiful people, good food, lively diverse culture, and sunshine anyway! :annoyed:

But honestly, call them. That's what solved my secondary issues.
 
In the mean time with LECOM, if you want to finish your secondary while waiting for them to fix it, just send in your SAT/ACT scores
