I wanted to share with every one here exactly what type of school you are dealing with.
I have been a long time PA working as a solo provider in a rural ER. I am nearly 40 years old, not in school for many years. I wanted to pursue an education as a physician and applied to lecom.
My application was late, but still recieved an acceptance letter last week!
Unfortunetly, I have signed professional contracts that MUST be honored. More, My mother suffers from alzhieners disease and could not abandon my father as the sole caregiver with such little notice.
I contacted the school with my story and requested a deferral to next year.
The addmissions coordinator and Dean contacted my within 3 days.
"Dozens of apllicants reqest such a deferrment each year. All are denied and must re-apply." EXCEPT FOR YOU!!
They understood the type of commitment and values that make a competent physician and granted this deferment for me. My gratitude is immeasurable.
These are the type of people you are dealing with. There are many goods and bads about evey "addministration and systems" but at the core is someone that actually reads the papers and makes the desicion based on intellect.
I thanked them like crazy! I will miss you this year, but will see you all next.

Good luck in your pursuit of your dream!
Someone failed first year or didn't get in.
