just looked at the acceptance thread. @DrPatriot was accepted to both of those schools, plus MSU, with 3.4/26.I'd like to add a little of my info into this discussion as well, since it seems relevant. I was interviewed at both LECOM-B and LECOM-E and was WL at both. My stats are well above their avgs, (MCAT perfectly balanced 30, cGPA 3.9, sGPA 3.8), I have well-rounded ECs (with >1000 hrs shadowing, >1000 hrs volunteering with local underserved pops, >2 years researching, and substantial leadership experiences outside of healthcare), I'm Phi Beta Kappa, annnnnnnnnd my LORs are from professors/mentors who I've known very well for roughly 2 years.
After receiving my WLs from the LECOMs, I was very confused. I thought I severely screwed up the interview and that terrified me, because I had already interviewed at an MD program and had another interview coming up. But then I remembered that, in the past, I'd always get such positive feedback from those I'd interviewed with. Never a negative thing. I think I come off confident and I had a thorough answer for every question thrown my way at the interviews.
It's a random crap shoot. I don't know if LECOM is really after fit, or maybe they practice yield protection (if that's even real..), but whatever it is- you're not alone haha
