Hi everyone!

For those who have applied to this program:

-)Do they accept LORs from interfolio?
-)Do they average repeated courses together or just take the more recent grade when calculating the GPA?
-)is the minimum MCAT 20?

-)Oh, and if you receive an interview in say January 2007 for DO school after the first semester of the post-bac, that means you matriculate into Fall 2007 for LECOM's DO school right? You don't have to wait till Fall 2008?

Thank you so much! 😀

Well, I am in the program right now, for what I can tell:
1) the minimum MCAT can be overlooked, because some people appear to be below the 21 limit.
2) Yes, indeed you would interview in January 2008 for the medical school class beginning September 2008.
3) Finally, I believe the GPA is calculated the same way that AACOMAS calculates the GPA.(the best grade for each course)

Any other questions about the program, just PM me.
