I think this was already asked, and the consensus was a royal blue for this year!

You will get confirmation from the Admissions office about your class color worn for all 4 years of dental school. It should be Royal Blue. They will also provide the name and location of the local scrub shop where you can buy the approved brands/styles as well as get them embroidered.
 
Does your admission status change from reviewing to decision made when you get an interview?

3.5 overall GPA/ 3.4 science GPA
23AA 24TS
I already had my interview, and everyone at the school was very nice. Let me know if you guys have any questions.
 
I am worried about the “group interview” style. In your opinion, was there enough time for them to really get to know you or did it seem rushed and superficial? Thanks in advance!

I had an interview today at lecom, it wasn’t bad, but it was at the same time a bit nerve wrecking. I felt as though it was enough time

It is really up to you. My group had 6 people including me, and I think there was a plenty of time for everybody to talk. For two questions tho, the interviewers kinda moved on to the next topic without waiting for everybody to answer. I wanted to always go either the first or second so thankfully, I could answer all the questions. As long as you can be yourself (don't be too nervous!) and say what you prepared to say, you will be fine. Personally, I lucked out with my interviewers, they were very genuine and nice so they eased me into the interview.
 
Has anyone gotten off the alternate list? I’m on 4 at this point and it’s frustrating!!!!

I know people have declined their admissions offer or given up their seat for their "first choice" dental school, so you may start seeing movement on the alternate list but interviews are still being conducted as well.
 
What does your LECOM portal Admissions status say? Mine still says, " Thank you for confirming your intent to attend" and I have interviewed already on feb 6th.
Since I haven't heard from them. Do you think it means rejection? should I start preparing for next cycle?

i’m in the same boat. talked to lecom recently and they said that no news is good news, but i am still prepping for the next cycle just in case.
 
Is anyone going to do the virtual interview that was offered today?
 
Noname96 said:
I was invited for an interview a month ago that was scheduled for Thursday. But today they sent me an email asking whether I would like to do a virtual interview due to corona virus lol

I got that email today too
 
Anyone got the decision this week ? It’s been 3 weeks for me . I start to lose hope. I’m thinking about applying to the MMS.
 
What laptops do you all recommend for lecom? I wanted to get a mac bc I'm already so used to apple products but I know lecom's IT does not support it
 
MeShinyTeeth&Me said:
Awesome, thank you!

Everything you'll need (Examsoft and VitalSource) will work on a Mac. ~80% of my class uses an Apple product (MacBook or iPad). I may have mentioned this earlier but just to reiterate, I would advise against a Microsoft Surface as they are just slightly too wide for the desks in the lecture hall. D1 year, someone in my class had theirs on the desk, it slid off, and shattered the entire screen.

The school and clinic use Windows-based products, which is why IT doesn't "support" Macs.

Do we have dates on Orientation and first day of classes yet?
Click to expand...

You will be notified via email on the exact dates for registration day (½ day) and orientation week. Keep in mind that for your first 6 days, you will be in business attire. Your first day in scrubs will be either your D1 Kit Distribution or CPR class (depending on if you're group A or B). You'll find out Group A and B on registration day.

Damn, shouldnt have burned all my ties after my last interview.

How did you find out what position you are on the alternate list?
Click to expand...

I'm not sure if LECOM has a ranked alternative list or just a general alternative "pool". I also I haven't ever heard anyone mentioning what position they were on the alternate list. You could email admissions to see but I don't know if you'll get a response to that question.
 
I just receive email today my application is still under review, and I havent got invitation to interview or email asking me submit application fee for the school yet. What this even mean?
 
How's lecom handling classes and clinic? Nova is still running their clinic.
 
I believe they have interview dates still on the 19th and 26th as those were options when I got my invite. I'm assuming they're all going to be video interviews. When I interviewed on the 5th they said there were still spots open, but I don't think they gave a specific number.
 
I sent a Letter of Intent a few days ago but didn't receive a response. Did anyone who sent a letter get an email saying they received it or anything like that?

All interviews moving forward (starting with tomorrow's) will be online only. I do not know if this means they will be one-on-one or group interviews. You most likely will not get a tour of the facility during your interview, so if you have any questions regarding that, ask away.
