does anyone know if LECOM requires a DO letter post interview? It was mentioned years ago on an old thread but there website says it is not required.
I don’t think so. Sounds unusual to medoes anyone know if LECOM requires a DO letter post interview? It was mentioned years ago on an old thread but there website says it is not required.
Thanks, I don't have a DO letter but am still applying to DO schools.I don’t think so. Sounds unusual to me
You’re going to be fine, plenty of applicants get accepted to DO schools with an MD letter.Thanks, I don't have a DO letter but am still applying to DO schools.
I have two MD letters which are the strongest in my letters. I have applied to 6 DO and 13 MD. I have a 3.9 GPA with a 505 MCAT. Not sure if I need to apply to more.You’re going to be fine, plenty of applicants get accepted to DO schools with an MD letter.
And thinking of adding LECOM.I was thinking of adding NOVA MD but not sure if my MCAT is too low.
I had no DO letter. 3.9 and 509. You’ll be fine.I have two MD letters which are the strongest in my letters. I have applied to 6 DO and 13 MD. I have a 3.9 GPA with a 505 MCAT. Not sure if I need to apply to more.

Did you get multiple acceptances? I keep thinking I need to apply to more schools just to be safe but will have to stop at some point $.I had no DO letter. 3.9 and 509. You’ll be fine.
Have you checked thei stats on MSAR?I was thinking of adding NOVA MD but not sure if my MCAT is too low. & LECOM.
Apply to more DO schools just in case (only trying to help, not trying to be offensive). I recommend the more established DO’s like DMU, KCUMB, PCOM, etc. Goro has a little bad boy list of DO schools s/he can’t recommend which includes Nova, LUCOM and 2 others if I remember correctly.I have two MD letters which are the strongest in my letters.

FOr NOVA it says N/A for all the stats. I think its because the school is pretty new.Have you checked thei stats on MSAR?
I was an odd applicant. Non-trad and took my MCAT late. Literally applied to 1 school with the hopes of not having to take a gap year. I’m old and ready for my new career. I said to myself that if I got accepted, I would attend and if not, I’m not sure I would have been able to apply the following cycle due to finances.Did you get multiple acceptances?

So far I applied to NSUCOM, PCOM, MUCOM, NYITCOM, UNECOM, and TCOM. I was thinking of adding LECOM.Apply to more DO schools just in case (only trying to help, not trying to be offensive).

what is your state of residence?So far I applied to NSUCOM, PCOM, MUCOM, NYITCOM, UNECOM, and TCOM. I was thinking of adding LECOM.
Never know unless you try. Wouldn’t hurt to throw an app over there if you have the money. Most of my incoming classmates have relatively high MCATs though.I was thinking of adding NOVA MD but not sure if my MCAT is too low. & LECOM.
Which school are you referring to?Never know unless you try. Wouldn’t hurt to throw an app over there if you have the money. Most of my incoming classmates have relatively high MCATs though.
Nova MDWhich school are you referring to?
Yeah. OP is going to have a lower MCAT than most if not every MD school average accepted. However, I would still apply MD who generally accept somewhat lower MCAT.Nova MD
No I am not URM and I am from MA.OP, are you URM?
Would it be better if I put the application toward LECOM rather than NOVA than since your classmates have high MD? I was thinking of applying to just one or the other because I have already submitted so many applications.Nova MD
Yes, LECOM sounds like a better option in this scenario.

I was thinking of the Erie/Seton Hill and Bradenton. At the least The Erie/Seton Hill.Yes, LECOM sounds like a better option in this scenario. Which campus are you applying to?
Just be aware that Bradenton and SH are exclusively PBL. Also, Bradenton has had some previous issues with clinical sites in the past.I was thinking of the Erie/Seton Hill and Bradenton. At the least The Erie/Seton Hill.
That’s what I heard so I was a little weary of applying to that campus.Just be aware that Bradenton and SH are exclusively PBL. Also, Bradenton has had some previous issues with clinical sites in the past.
Look at KCU and DMU as well.So far I applied to NSUCOM, PCOM, MUCOM, NYITCOM, UNECOM, and TCOM. I was thinking of adding LECOM.
If money isn’t an issue, send an app to each campus. But if I had a money cap, I’d personally use that to apply to DMU and KCUMB instead.I was thinking of the Erie/Seton Hill and Bradenton. At the least The Erie/Seton Hill.
Thank you for your advice! Why do you think those would be better?If money isn’t an issue, send an app to each campus. But if I had a money cap, I’d personally use that to apply to DMU and KCUMB instead.
Very established schools, solid curriculum, produce great board scores/pass rates, and overall good clinicals. LECOM, at least the Bradenton campus, does not have very good rotations set up for their students and many end up traveling very far for them. KCU and DMU have a good amount of year long sites set up for their students. I personally just think they’re a better option than LECOM.Thank you for your advice!

If applying to LECOM, apply LECOM-E. Clinicals are fine there. Same can’t be said for Bradenton.Very established schools, solid curriculum, produce great board scores/pass rates, and overall good clinicals.
