Yes, you must interview before being accepted or rejected. But, you can be rejected without interview.

Current D1 at LECOM! If anyone has any questions or just wants to know what it has been like so far don't be afraid to reply!
We just had a loupes fair last Wednesday, you don't need them until you're practically a D2. And you can get whatever kind you like! DFV and q-optics were both at the fair along with 5-6 other brands.Follow up question, do you guys have your loupes already? Is LECOM contracted with any companies like DFV? I only ask because ive tried on DFV and q-optics and would much rather have a choice
Congratulations! See you soon!Accepted!!!! Interviewed on 2/22
Did you get an email? My AADSAS says offer made but I haven't gotten an email yet.Accepted!!!! Interviewed on 2/22

Just got the acceptance email. Interviewed 2/22
Congrats! You gonna choose lecom or UK?
your username and picture has me feeling some type of way though haha
Yes, everyone must be interviewed before being accepted anywhere! I interviewed on Feb. 15th and was accepted about a week after.Did you have an interview first?
Has anyone that was accepted earlier this week received their letter in the mail yet? I haven't gotten mine and just wanted to make sure it's not lost in the mail or anything
i don't think lecom currently has a cad/cam machine so they most likely stick to traditional stuff in terms of restorations. im not sure if they have digital radiography and cone beam tomagraphy or not.Does anyone know to what extent digital dentistry is incorporated into the curriculum? Does LECOM stick to the traditional stuff or are they moving towards the more modern technology? I am blanking on what was said during the interview day.
I've done about 3/4 of it. Just have to do second PPD test and submit urine sample at a collection clinic. Waiting for the school to send me my financial aid award letter.Has anyone done financial aid stuff, urine drug test, and matriculation packet yet? I'm doing all that over spring break now

What is PPD? And that is part of the matriculation packet?I've done about 3/4 of it. Just have to do second PPD test and submit urine sample at a collection clinic. Waiting for the school to send me my financial aid award letter.
Get moving on the physical and testing because the 2 step PPD takes almost 2 weeks total.

It is a TB skin test and yes it is part of the packet. There are 2 injections and 2 readings. The injections need to be read 48 to 72 hours after injection. The 2 injections also have to be done at least 7 days apart. So at minimum it takes around 13 days for the test.What is PPD? And that is part of the matriculation packet?
What is your AADSAS status?I interviewed at LECOM Erie last week, and as of today it shows my status as "The Admissions Committee has made a decision on your file. We will notify you in 30 days." Does that show up regardless if you were rejected, wait listed or accepted?
yeah i think they do have digital radiographyThey should have digital radiography right? cbct and cad/cam is another discussion. Would love to see cbct in action though
Question to anybody who knows a thing about the immunization report we have to complete before matriculation:
So all of my lab results came out positive except my Hep B (although I had the vaccination done as a child), meaning I haven't built immunity to the antigen. The doctor says I have to get the 3 doses all over again. My concern is that I won't be able to get my third dose until middle of August- after school starts.
Will I be able to matriculate still? (I'll email admissions tomorrow to be sure but in case someone has the same experience I'd greatly appreciate it!)

Thank you! That's good to know!I spoke to admissions 2 days ago because I had the same problem. Admissions said it is okay to submit whatever you have by the end of March and then keep updating them on the ongoing immunizations. They understand that with the immunization intervals, people are likely to go way beyond the deadline date which is 04/01/2018. I won't be done with all my immunizations by the end of April. Hope this helps.
You're deadline will probably be later than April 1st. I just paid my deposit early March and my given deadline is May 1st. You should be given plenty of time to get everything in the packet completed (unless you run into issues with immunizations). But what you should get done by your deadline would be a physical exam, immunization report filled, alcohol and drug screening, and signing a bunch of papers.Is it just the immunization records that are due on April 1? I just sent in my deposit so I haven’t gotten the large packet yet—just trying to get an idea of everything I’ll have to get done in two weeks!

can anyone tell me if they are still interviewing people?. They been reviewing my application for about 4 months now. I tried to email but no reply. Definitely not going here because I never had an experience like this from any schools but I want them to at least give me a rejection letter considering I wasted 50 dollars applying here. anyone else in the same boat as me?

when did you have an interview, I am waiting to hear back as well, it will be 2 weeks tomorrow.Is anyone hearing anything from LECOM? It's silent on my end.
Hey! Sorry been a little busy as we just started operative! If you join ASDA that's where a bunch of companies will come and talk to us and have fairs and such. The ASDA Fair (around november/december) is packed with cool free stuff, and you also get an Oral B and a Sonicare electric toothbrush if you join ASDA.is LECOM contracted with any companies other than Benco? sonicare?oral B? do they push any brands to you? Have you gotten any free stuff? lol
As long as you get your deposit in and save your spot, the rest of the matriculation packet they aren't too strict about! I still have to get my vaccination titers in and I'm almost a D2..... oopsIs it just the immunization records that are due on April 1?

This is the dental school page! But yeah, call them if you have questions about your app - it couldn't hurt, and they're always so friendly on the phone! At least in my experienceQuestion for everyone. My status for he med school application under the application portal still says that my application is under review. I submitted my application in November. I submitted applications for their post bacc and masters programs, and they’ve already made decisions. Any thoughts? Does anyone think that I should call the admissions office?
