I wore a black skirt, a white blouse, and black shoes. I was the only one girl there that wore a skirt and a white shirt. Everybody else wore black pant suits...which made me feel a little scared because I looked different. But I still got in, so don't worry that much about what to wear. Anything that looks nice, neat, professional, and comfortable is good. Good luck!

anyone know how long after the interview they tell you whether you've been accepted or denied?

 

[babetrang]

Usually 1-2 weeks after the interview. I got a phone call 6 days after the interview. Their interviews are usually on Thursdays, and the committee meets every Fridays. If you want to know your status, you can email them. They are very nice and will reply back within 1 day.

 

[pReShuZanGL]

does anyone know how many applicants are invited to interview and how many of those interviewed get accepted?? i e-mailed them my question but they said they can't tell me 😕

i stayed at the hampton inn... Personally, I rented a car... i believe if you take the shuttle it'll just be more of an headache...

 

[andrewattheU]

[Ricanrx]

[pReShuZanGL]

ok cool thanks! do you have to be 25 to rent a car? im only 21 😎 but that's okay i'll make my dad come to FL with me haha

 

[Ricanrx]

I think the age limit is 25, but if your dad can't make it I would actually call the car rental place talk to the manager and see if he'll make an exception.

 

[ladifantasy]

so have you heard from lecom yet, ricanrx?

 

[hello18]

ok cool thanks! do you have to be 25 to rent a car? im only 21 😎 but that's okay i'll make my dad come to FL with me haha

I rented from enterprise... the rental car places, have an age limit of 21... if you are under the age of 25... you pay a underage driver fee... could be $20/day... i'm only 22 so i had to pay the underage driver fee...

[rxchrissarasota]

for those who got interviews, could u guys please list your stats? thanks

interviewed 10/15

3.1 overall
3.4 math/science
93 PCAT

 

[rxchrissarasota]

To those that have already interviewed... how was the interview... how many people were there? do they interview in groups or is it one on one? Also what type of questions did they ask?

The interview was very relaxed and easy going. Did an individual 30min interview with a prof, then fin aid presentation, Q&A and tour. Then we were split into 2 groups and given an article to read and had a group discussion with an admissions person, mine was with the dean who is really cool. The discussion was very informal and not about drilling us to assess our knowledge, but more of a chance to gauge our communication skills in a more comfortable atmosphere. that segment went for almost 40 min but passed very quickly.

oh yeah, there were 12 of us.

Are we required to bring something with us? If yes: what? What did you take? Or what do you recommend I have to have with me for the interview?

should we bring a portfolio with paper.. a resume?? personal statements? pen? purse?

 

[babetrang]

Nope. You don't have to bring anything. If you want, you can bring some paper to take note. The school will provide you with a pen, the interview schedule, financial aid information, FOOD, etc. I brought only my purse to the interview.

 

[hello18]

Unfortunately, Babetrang... I got rejected by Lecom just received a letter from them through the mail... its okay... they were one of my last choices... =P... 1 rejection so far... 5 more school's to hear from =)

 

[ladifantasy]

after weeks of waiting, i finally got a letter from them saying that they cannot make a decision at this time. so my application will be on hold for 60 days, then they will make a final decision after that. hmmm...i guess that's better than getting rejected, huh? *sighhhhh*

 

[Serco]

I will go to LECOM Erie for pharmacy school. I got accepted on the 19th, but did not get the letter until last Friday. I am planning to go to Erie for their Pharmacy on Campus Day this Thursday the 29th, if anyone will be there. I am looking for a roommate, too.

All the best to everyone 🙂

 

[rxchrissarasota]

Yet another damn wait list. this is getting really old.

 

[pReShuZanGL]

Yet another damn wait list. this is getting really old.

so does this mean that whoever they consider from now on will be waitlisted??

 

[TV09]

looks like i'm goin Jan.31 instead of Dec. 4

 

[rxchrissarasota]

No, they just start waitlisting people right from the beginning so they can have people to offer seats to when acceptees start deciding to go to other schools. A lot of poeple get wait listed. Its not the end of the world, its just the most frustrating thing in the world.

aww well good luck! i hope someone declines.. actually i hope alot of people decline.. so that you and the others can get in =) haha when do you find out?

 

[rxchrissarasota]

They reevaluate in about sixty days. At that time they will send out more yes/no/maybes.

 

[Pharmpills]

Yet another damn wait list. this is getting really old.

i dont get it u have a pcat in the 90's and a failrly good gpa. u must be from out of state or maybe u have zero experience??

 

[PharMia711]

I went to LECOM during the first couple of their interview dates and I also got waitlisted. I guess I will have to wait sixty more days before my fate is decided at this school 🙁 But as said before I guess it is better than being rejected.

[PharMia711]

Bradenton

 

[pharmcam]

How long did it take after your interview at LECOM Erie to hear?😕

 

[babetrang]

It took less than a week for me, but more than 2 weeks for some other people. You can email them and ask for your status. They prefer to be contacted via email than phone.

 

[pReShuZanGL]

anyone hear back from the Dec. 4 interview yet??

 

[Brigster103]

Erie guys -

How is LECOM - Erie's reputation? Is it a good school compared to some of the big schools?

 

[Magikarp]

Woohoo, I got accepted. Just got a call this morning. See you in the fall babetrang and anyone else who gets accepted!

 

[babetrang]

Woohoo, I got accepted. Just got a call this morning. See you in the fall babetrang and anyone else who gets accepted!

Congratulations! See you next fall too! Btw, are you from Florida? I'm from Virginia and I will have to find a roommate.

 

[KBOUGHBE]

I just got an interview for Lecom-Erie on January 15, I also have an interview and Lecom-Bradenton on January 10. I am really excited, what can anyone one tell me about the schools and what to expect in the interviews.

Thanks.

 

[pReShuZanGL]

boo.. waitlisted 😡

 

[stylerprodigy]

Congratulations to those who got accepted! Those who were denied or waitlisted, would you mind sharing your stats and interview experience? I have an interview Jan 10 so I am worried after reading this thread. Babetrang I was from Fairfax, VA too attended GMU before I transferred to UCF in Florida. I assume you are Vietnamese as well? Anyway, if any of you have any tips it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

[Magikarp]

Congratulations! See you next fall too! Btw, are you from Florida? I'm from Virginia and I will have to find a roommate.

Nah, Im from Nevada. Where do you plan on staying, those apartments they showed us during the interview looks real nice and affordable too. From the SN, I'm assuming you're viet too?
