LECOM Rejections

have you checked md applicants? even if there's no one from this year, you can see when people got their rejections last year. i'm hoping you get good news soon!

 

I hope you get in man. I doubt they would of invited you for an interview if you didn't meet their criteria so you are probably in a good position.

 

Keep checking that mailbox and let us know of your good news as soon as you get it!!! Good luck!

 

oh that's bull. I'm a first time applicant and I have two acceptances so far.

 

yep, first time applicant, and two acceptances too. jez, honestly, this whole application process is really stressful for many of us. expect that it is not going to be an easy road. when you accept that fact, it gets a lot easier.

 

Yes. It is my first time applying and I've received four interviews resulting in two waitlists and two acceptances so far. I didn't confirm my waitlist hold for LECOM-FL so I'm off of it. I didn't want to do PBL. Tell your friend he's full of it but then again maybe he's trying to comfort you. Either way, don't give up hope yet. Hope you'll hear from LECOM today!

 

Hi,

I really hope you get in. You have been posting about LECOM... .on pretty much every single thread.... I'm sure you will hear the good news soon.

Anyway, my interview at LECOM-erie is this fri, 12/9... any one have last minute tips?

 

Make sure to act interested and enthused about being there as if it's your first choice even if it's not. Don't let your guard down as anyone in the admissions office, even the secretary, can have a say in whether the school should or should not accept you. You can do this by asking inteligent/well thought out questions but don't over do it as it can be annoying.

 

Yeah. I definitely saw that but just thought they're doing me a favor . It was definitely hard having to sit straight up all day though. I was glad I missed my flight into Erie from Clevelan, OH. We spent a lot of time talking about that and my hometown and how it differs from Erie. They didn't have time to ask me all those questions but I think my personality came through. I felt good leaving that torture room.

Make sure you laugh at Dr. Wise jokes or at him but whatever you do don't roll your eyes. I saw that as well.

 

Um, Dr. Wise is the registrar. I'm thinking he doesn't have any bearing on admissions.

 

From what I understand, even the people who interview you might not have a lot of say about your ultimate acceptance. Every peice of the puzzel gets reviewed by this secret "admissions committee." So yeah, I don't think Dr. Wise had any thing to do with an acceptance, unless some one was a complete "jack @$$." Even Ms. Morse probably didn't have a say. She is the admissions coordinator.

 

Oh the interview panel has a say, but they are not the only factor. I think the admissions committee is seperate and they review EVERY THING in addition to what the interviewers write down, such as grades, mcats, ECs, personal statement, secondary, etc etc. The whole puzzle is brought in, not just the interview. That is why I doubt Dr. Wise or even Ms. Morse have something to say about an acceptance, unless it is drastic. So don't stress too much about the other people.

I am saying this because I was specifically told this at Bradenton by the librarian. He says that he just takes people for a short detour and entertains us (like Dr. Wise was doing) and makes sure we are relaxed. That is his sole purpose. Now if some one sticks out as being an odd ball, he might say something. Other then that, nothing is influenced.

 

I just want to wish you luck Jezzie....I can definately see that LECOM is very important to you. Keep your head up!

 

Yep Jezz,

Please do let us know at the hint of any good news.

 

Dean is she , and she is very nice lady Anyway, I hope you hear soon.

 

For the LECOM interview, one of you posted the actual questions, and I thought that to be really nice, so whomever is interviewing KNOW THAT THOSE QUESTIONS WILL BE ASKED! Know about OMM and Dr. Still! So sorry you all are interviewing in sucky weather!

 

No one mentioned OMM or asked about it or anything during my interview. The only time OMM came up was when the student showed us the OMM lab. That was it.

Dang, Jezzielin, I can't believe you still haven't heard anything! I hope it's good news after making you wait all this time.
