Hi All! I would love to hear your opinions on if I should apply to LECOM for the current cycle.

Essentially, I applied in 2017 and got reject almost immediately after all my supplemental materials were in. Since then, I have retaken the DAT and have done a certificate program. Although I did well in my certificate program, I still dont have a over a 3.0 on my sGPA. I'm not sure if I automatically got rejected last time because I didnt meet their threshold or someone actually looked through my app and rejected it. Basically I dont want to sit there and pay them almost $200 and get a rejection automatically again.

2017 stats: 18 PAT, 18 AA, 18 TS GPA 3.15, sGPA 2.83

Stats now: 21 PAT, 20 TS, 19 AA GPA 3.2, sGPA 2.93 Grad GPA 3.64

Your thoughts are appreciated if you have been in a similar situation or know someone in a similar situation. Thank you!

Hi, amaghsou,

Yes definitely! Your DAT has gone up and you have a masters degree to boot! I think you have a good shot and chance if you apply broadly. If you can, I would even try calling Lecom and discussing the situation if it is your number one choice. They can give you a better answer than anyone on here. Furthermore, I would even look at schools like Tufts and Michigan that look favorably upon Masters degree students. Best of luck!
