When was your interviews?
I received a letter yesterday from the dean of dental medicine saying that they have reviewed my application carefully and they are suggesting that I Consider attending LECOM’d master of medical science program to strengthen my science credentials for future applications to medical school.
Did anyone else get the same letter, it’s weird and I’m confused because it’s suggesting that I prepare for a medical school and it’s from the dean of dental medicine and they have never said that there was a decision that was made. Also my status on lecom portal didn’t change so I don’t know if this means a rejection or what ?
Is that the same thing you got?I got the same status and just received the rejection letter yesterday
Mine didn’t mention about MMS. Probably cuz I already appliedIs that the same thing you got?

It’s confusing me, I don’t know what is that and I called them but they are not in their office.
Same here. Applied in July and interviewed in March. Haven't heard anything from them since.My admission status still says the committee has yet to make a decision. Applied in August and interviewed in March. Anyone in the same boat? What does this mean if anything?
I interviewed virtually on 03/20 and received a decision from the admissions committee that I was placed on the alternate list via postal mail on 04/11/2020. Maybe reach out to Lisa Kalivoda and see if you can get an update? I know she is very responsive and hopefully can offer you some answers.Same here. Applied in July and interviewed in March. Haven't heard anything from them since.
I am currently on the alternate list. I did not receive a letter like this from the dean of dental medicine. Not sure if this helps. Of note, I did receive an email from admissions about a month after I accepted my position on the alternate list that stated I could apply for the master's program but they were not encouraging it by any means. I think it is just a tactic they're using to see who is still interested in LECOM as the email actually stated applying for the master's program actually helps your chances of being selected. In any case, good luck and here is to hoping you receive some good news!Is that the same thing you got?

Congratulations. Did they call you or was it through email? Regrading you question, you can ask Jacob Watts from the Facebook group. He went to dental school there.Got accepted today. Can any current students give me an HONEST answer about whether or not they are happy there?

I had received an email last week to call Ron, and once we had gotten connected, he told me EVERYTHING about the school because he expected 4-5 to drop their spots and if they sent me an acceptance, then I needed to be ready. Ron then called me this afternoon saying I was accepted.Congratulations. Did they call you or was it through email? Regrading you question, you can ask Jacob Watts from the Facebook group.

I think they’re scrambling to fill the class since school starts in 5 weeksso there's no more seats in the class? like the seats will open up if someone drops only?
But yes you will only get the call if someone dropsso there's no more seats in the class? like the seats will open up if someone drops only?
I've never seen a 1/1 for <$1200. This price is just for the apartment. You still have to add in utilities, internet, renter's insurance, etc. You might be able to find something cheaper 20-30 minutes away from school but then you have to worry about traffic.For students that knows the area well, is it possible to find an 1/1 apartment for $1000 or less? What is the price ranges for apartments in the area? Thanks!
No. 100% not.For students that knows the area well, is it possible to find an 1/1 apartment for $1000 or less? What is the price ranges for apartments in the area? Thanks!
Does anyone know where I can find list of the courses from D1 to D3? Thanks
There are a few apartments 1k and less that are 15 to 25 minutes away. Carlton Arms is probably the best place for 1k.For students that knows the area well, is it possible to find an 1/1 apartment for $1000 or less? What is the price ranges for apartments in the area? Thanks!
I would ask this on the Facebook page!Hey guys! So just wondering, has anyone already gotten their scrubs? I was required to have royal blue scrubs for my work before I got into lecom, so I'm trying to save money and not re-order the scrubs from Scrub Club but they're saying they won't embroider/monogram unapproved styles... Does anyone know if there's another place that we can get the monogram done? I really don't want to have to re-buy blue scrubs that I already have
When did you interview?Same!! Congrats !
When did you interview?Got my acceptance email! So relieved this is all over. For reference, my LECOM status was a decision has been made and a letter will be sent in next 30 days. This status was changed to this on December 31st. Good luck to everyone else!!
When did you interview?Accepted! Email received at 9:06am. Thank you for help from everyone! Crying
I got waitlisted around the same time you did last cycle. I did not get off the waitlist. But that doesn’t mean you won’t. However, speaking as a reapplicant who waited almost the entire summer hoping to get off the waitlist at multiple schools I would advise you to reapply early even if it’s just to a few schools. I waited and am in the same position as last year with late interviews and waitlist decisions.Hi everyone, I know this is last years thread but I recently got placed on LECOMs alternate list for this cycle and I was just wondering how much of a chance I have to get off of it? If I don’t hear anything within a month, I need to start preparing to apply for next cycle. I just think it’s really pointless to spend thousands of dollars applying again when I could hear back from LECOM anytime from now until July. I understand their waitlist is unranked, how does this work? And if you’re put on the alternate list, do you have high chances of getting off? Is there anyone that got off the alternate list last year that has any advice?
Thank you so much! Did you re-write your personal statement or do anything different for your application the second time around?I got waitlisted around the same time you did last cycle.
