I talked to Mrs. Bell last Tuesday (2/11) and she told me I was on the High-hold list. I have not heard anything since then and I interviewed on 1/24. Has anyone else been told they are on this, and if so, how long was it before you heard anything?

Is Mrs. Bell...Marjorie Bell? Because everytime I call her specific number, I get a busy signal.
 
That means you have a really really good shot at this.....

i interviewed back in november 7th and i got a high hold email around jan 2 and then i got an acceptance on jan 4th...so you should hear good news hopefully really soon 🙂

Good Luck!!! 😀

The lady I spoke with mentioned there's no ranking on the alternate list....seeming to suggest there's also no such thing as a "high hold list"

I think the high hold list is separate from the alternate/wait-list. I never got a letter or email saying that I was on the wait list but when I emailed Mrs. Bell asking about my status, she told me that "I was on the high hold list, and hopefully I would be hearing good news from them soon." I have talked to people who I have interviewed with and a few have gotten waitlist letters, and I never got one of these. This is what makes me think that the 2 are different.

From what I understand of it, I think you're right that they are two separate things. High-hold seems to be where you have a blank status on the portal (usually) and if someone withdraws, then the 'high-hold' people are next in line to get it and there's only a few on this as compared to the wait-list which I think quite a bit of people are on. This is of course just speculation but from my experience it seems to have some validity. Good luck to everyone :luck:

That might be true. I know of someone who does not have the "decision has been made" status on the portal.
 
Interviewed on 2/7, portal changed to "The Admissions Committee has made a decision on your application. You will receive an official letter in the mail within 30 days." today.


anyone else?

Congratulations!!!!

Were you originally wait-listed (the alternate list) or were you on the high-hold list (where they neither accept nor wait-lost you)? Also when did you interview? Thanks!
 
What's a letter of intent? I was wait-listed but I don't know what this "letter of intent" is.

I also interviewed on 2/7 and received that same status. If you call them, they will tell you your status (accepted, alternate list or rejected) rather than waiting on the letter in the mail.

If it is your top choice you send them a letter stating so and why you want to go and why you would fit in etc.
 
I interviewed on 1/24 and after that interview my portal said that my application was under review and I would be notified when a decision had been made. After 3 weeks I contacted Margie Bell through email telling her that LECOM was my first choice and she told me I was on a high hold list and "hopefully I would be hearing good news soon." My portal changed on 2/22 to "a decision has been made and we will notify you within 30 days of that decision" and then today I got an email saying I was accepted!

Congrats! And thanks for the detailing how it happened for us! 🙂

Congrats!

Just checked and not sure where exactly to look. I'm thinking my portal is a little behind because I didn't get a formal email for the interview.

My portal said a decision has been made and you'll be notified in however many days. So I called and asked about my status and she told me over the phone. Try that!! It was nice meeting you!!

When you login to the portal click the admissions tab, then click admissions status NOT your admissions status, then click view admissions status.
 
I'm gonna give up my seat, cuz I got an offer from a school in state. Good luck you guys and enjoy LECOM, it's a great school at a beautiful location (20 minutes from a beautiful beach).

👍 Good luck at your state school!
 
Can someone invite me to the fb group pleasee. I'm lecom b-med c/ o 2017 looking for dental or pharm roommate
 
Hey guys,

Just interviewed today 3/7. Thought I should update anyone who's interested in LECOM. There will be one more round of interview in April and that will be it.

If your portal status changes to the decision in 30 days, you can call the office and they will tell you what the decision is: accepted, alternative list (waitlisted), or rejected. So you don't have to wait the whole 30 days.

Hey everyone that is wait listed or waiting to hear about a spot. I interviewed back in December and was waitlisted. I was offered an acceptance spot at the beginning of February so there is still hope for you all!!!!

Especially since come monday, I will be turning down my acceptance because I was offered another at a school I liked a little better. Best of luck to one of you on getting my spot!

Thanks for sharing that! My spirits needed to be lifted 🙂. Were you actually "wait listed" or were you on the "High Hold" list (where they neither accept nor wait-list you; it's more like a pending)?
 
I withdrew just now... hope this goes to someone that really wants it!
 
It's very bitter sweet but I withdrew my acceptance today. I hope it goes to someone who really deserves it.

👍
 
Had interview on 4/5 and checked my portal in evening today, 4/6 and says "admission committee has made a decision... " Any ideas what this could mean? I was told not to expect a decision until 3-4 weeks. Thanks for your help and time!
 
You can call the admissions office and they will tell you if you've been accepted, wait listed, or rejected. Good luck 🙂
 
I wonder how this next 2 weeks will go for LECOM? Students are probably being hounded by schools to pick their top school.
 
When will the alternate list move along? Anyone getting in/out?
 
just got a phone call from Ivy this morning...I'm in!!! LECOM School of Dental Medicine Class of 2017!!!
 
My name is Josh Grant, I graduated from LECOM in 2011. I have a partially furnished 2br/2ba apartment available in June. The apartment is located in the Harborage on Braden River. Its about a 7-10 minute drive to campus in traffic (map). The community is gated, has a pool, hot tub, gas grill. It is situated on the Braden River and has a private nature reserve. Its a very quite and safe community. Pictures can be found here. All the furniture is included except for the furniture found in the second bedroom (my roommates, and subsequently the messier one). The rent is $1200/mo , with all utilities except for internet and electricity included. The rent includes basic cable. Also included is the garage space across the street. Please email me if you have questions about the apartment, or bradenton/lecom in general. -Josh Grant [email protected]
 
I'm from Houston and will be attending
 
why is it there so many houston people going to LECOM? I was from Houston and got accepted (withdrew).

You also have to remember....how excited you were when you got accepted into LECOM... if it was the only school you got into...you would be attending as well...you even sent in your deposit because you weren't accepted at another school yet at the time. my guess to your answer......perhaps LECOM is the only school that these Houston people got into....

I was accepted into LECOM too, but withdrew. However would have attended if it was the only school I was accepted to.... and I'm from California.
