I'm trying to save money, I'm holding on to a few secondaries in hopes of getting good news next week from an early interview. If that doesn't pan out, I will immediately apply here as well.

I have seen your numbers. Not sure why you are applying to so many schools...
Not only that... He/she already has multiple iis...
If I remember, your stats are 3.7/3.6/25... Unless you have the personality of a rock, there is no freaking way you won't have multiple acceptances if you apply to 12-15 schools.
Agreed
Personality of a rock?
Anyways
Back to topic
To anyone wondering, this school doesnt accept internationals yet

Not sure. I know they are doing Interfolio. I am excited about this school. They seem to have their act together. I think this is going to turn into a great medical school.
I would like to know also.
The admissions team is so nice. I sent my recommendations in a little over a week ago. I look forward to hearing from them.

There are a TON of requirements in order to apply here. Biochem, stats, Cell bio,
Can research credit count twords the 4 additional credit hours?

I just read a pdf on their site that states they require an 8 or above for verbal. The 6's relate only to sciences (which is weird). You would think they would make 8 or above the requirement for the BS section. Hopefully they won't be that picky about verbal.
I'm curious where you saw this pdf?
It's Liberty. Mainstream science is against Christianity, remember, but you need good verbal skills to read the Bible.
I literally LOLd
I hope their requirement isn't that stringent. I know their site states it though. Perhaps they will overlook it if your app has something they want.
Any secondaries received?
I didn't see anything about the 8 in VR. Here's what I found out:
Applicants must have a cumulative score of at least 22 on MCAT and have no score less than 6 to be considered for admissions unless a waiver is granted by the LUCOM Dean. Preference for admission consideration is a MCAT > 25. MCAT scores < 3 years old may be submitted for consideration. An average of the highest scores on multiple MCAT examinations is not applicable for admission consideration.

Click on academic catalog and read the academic catalog.
Edit: Here I made it easier.
Applicants must have a cumulative score of at least 22 on the MCAT and have no score less than
6 to be considered for admissions unless a waiver is granted by the LUCOM Dean. The student
should obtain a minimum of 8 on verbal reasoning to be considered for admission unless he/she
can establish English as second language or demonstrate extenuating circumstances. Preference
for admission consideration is a MCAT > 25. MCAT scores < 3 years old may be submitted for
consideration. An average of the highest scores on multiple MCAT examinations is not
applicable for admission consideration.
So it seems for those who meet every req except for the 8 in verbal, we would have to provide "extenuating circumstance" .... Sounds like its not all black and white
Yeah I am wondering how flexible they are.

It will likely depend on the strength of apps they receive
How many of you are applying here?
I am.. and I'm waiting for that secondary lol
Me too! I wonder how many applications they will receive this cycle.
I know that SDN represents like 2% of the pre-med pop, but this thread is getting NO love.
I think they are going to hold fast to their 8 in verbal requirement. I just have a feeling.
I agree. I've heard from a few other people the same thing as well.
Not many people know about the school honestly. It didn't get added to AACOMAs until much later in the cycle.
I wonder if this school will give scholarships for a strong first class. Some schools are known to do this so that they can have a good match.
I don't see how anyone could know that though. It's just speculation. I think it will be up to admissions discretion and the app as a whole. Verbal should NOT dictate someone's success as a physician lol. I have scores tons of 11-13s in practice and had a horrible test day. I guess I shouldn't be a doctor
I agree. I got 10-11's on AAMC FL Verbals and scored a 6. It is up to them though.
Wow. I feel you. It does suck but I made a test taking error. I'm sure you did too .. Lets just hope they see past a fluke and are lenient. One thing I'm confused about.. Why in the world does this school require biochem? I haven't take. Biochem . Is it the full course or the labs?
And by that I mean, do they require you to take one biochem lecture, or do they want all lectures and labs ?
Congrats! It is very important to determine the extent of their stringent nature...care to share your stats?
EDIT: Great success!!!! Just got it too.
Oops I forgot ! 3.45c/3.3s 28(9/10/9). I created a password for their system but it never gave me a username to login with ...
Working on that now. WOW! They are already giving us e-mail addresses.....

Your stats are competitive for most DO schools... Any particular reason you are applying to LUCOM...
The graphics on the app are niiice.
When did you submit primary for liberty?
The first possible day for this school.
I'm not quite late in applying, but I'm not early so I applied to 18 DO schools. Probably overkill, but I guess i just prefer to be safe
