I got an email yesterday morning with the details! It was titled “REMINDER: LECOM Erie Information Session”. Maybe check spam?

Hey guys! I'm a current first year at ACOM and the curriculum hasn't completely taken all of my spare time, so feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have about the school or interviews. Congratulations to those with interviews, and good luck to all applying this year!

Anyone know the post-II acceptance rate? Interview's getting real and I'm getting nervous!

They had 5,925 applications for the Class of 2025, interviewed roughly 700-800, and accepted roughly 400-450 for 210 seats. So, post-interview acceptance is approx. 50-60%?

These are the numbers they told us during Orientation, but they haven't released the official totals yet. Good luck!

Is anyones portal not complete? Mine says 50%. My letters of recs should have been sent out through the AACOMAS app but its still saying I need:

Physician Letter
Committee/PreHealth Advisor Letter
Science Letter 1
Science Letter 2

I just submitted my secondary so will they process it once they see the secondary?
 
Submitted my secondary on 7/7 but haven't heard back yet regarding interviews, etc, anyone has an idea on my chances of getting one?

GPA: 3.48
MCAT: 510
Casper: 75-100th percentile
Good recs, good service, I think I wrote decent supplements

Also, does anybody have a link to the portal where we can check our submission updates? Just want to double check I have everything. The "discover.acom" link just takes me to an inquiry form. Thanks!

The original supplemental application email has the correct link for the portal. Fond that email, click the supplemental application button, and login to your portal.

First, great scores. I take my Casper tomorrow and I am extremely nervous.

The link to the proper portal should follow this format

OOS II received, cGPA: 3.57, MCAT: 511, CASPER: 1-25th

Edit: I'm having trouble scheduling my interview date; I have waited about an hour since I received the message and I can't seem to find the option to do this on the micro-site?

I was having the same issue. MIne popped up randomly later in the day, try clearing your cookies and stuff.
 
Anyone know how to submit official MCAT scores? I released my MCAT score to AACOMAS weeks ago but my portal is saying it's not there yet?

Interviewed and have nothing but positive things to say about this school. Incredibly kind interviewers who truly just wanted to get to know me and have a conversation. Please don't ask me specific questions about what they asked -- I wouldn't want to share anything beyond what the school wants interviewees to, but some basic advice is to know yourself and your app inside out, and try to genuinely connect with the interviewers, because that's what they're wanting to do as well!

@Catlinflower Update: LOVED my interview/the entire day. I second what everyone else said, just be yourself. Know your application well/your motivation for wanting to be an osteopathic physician. Everyone is so genuine and nice, you're going to do awesome! Good luck!

Just got my complete email. Now we wait! Should've submitted earlier but life got hectic as heck. (Edit: super low stats compared to everyone else here, just have good experiences I guess at the least)
