LECOM Post-Bacc Program

[postbacpremed87]

1. Are you essentially guaranteed admission into the program the next cycle?

2. When does the application period start for people who want to enter the LECOM program fall 2014?

3. When do they usually let you know their decision/how long do you have to accept?

4. Do all prerequisites have to be completed by the time you enter?

1- if you maintain a 3.0 gpa in the program and 24+ mcat you will have a guarantee acceptance , unless you do bad in the interview ..
2-the deadline it's August 1 , for classes that begin in September so I think you have to apply before that date
3-sorry I don't know but I don't think it may take months thou
4-yes , a bachelor degree it's required & all pre req
Also DO (just in case you don't know) post bacc's don't do grade replacement . There is no gpa req . I have read threads ppl accepted with 2.9, 3.0, 3.3 .....

Agreed for everything but the last line. The LECOM minimum GPA requirement is a 2.7. That goes for the DO program and the post-bac, but like you mentioned the post-bac doesn't use grade replacement.

In their website it says 23 but I have read somewhere in here that with 24+ you will have better Chances . .. Also I just read that it takes weeks for them to make a decision up to 3 or 4 weeks .. I'm giving you the link of that thread read it it's really helpful :
