Hey guys, dumb question...I do I know if my secondary is completed or not...? I paid the money last week and each time I log in it always says my secondary is progress...? I even got the email confirming my payment. I also completed LECOM - Eerie app at the same time and received a completion email and text afterwards...but nothing with LECOM - B

P.S. I know I'm really late to the game, please don't judge :whistle:

I submitted my secondary yesterday. This is my current status:

"We received your supplemental application. The review process will begin on your file. You will be notified when updates are made."
 
Is there like a roommate search page for LECOM Bradenton?

There is a place on the portal, I believe. Mrs. Shively might send out that info later. You guys should make a Facebook page for your class if there isn't one. That's how most of our classmates found each other.

Has anyone else from the 2/10 interview received a portal change?

How long did it take some of you to receive decision letters after your interview? I interviewed Feb 17th.

Hey, I appreciate you doing this! My questions for you are...
1) What are the requirements to get into LECOM from the post-bacc?

2) How do you go about getting into the Bradenton campus while attending/interviewing Erie?

3) How many of the students from the post bacc (who are offered an interview) end up getting offered an acceptance. I'm not looking for an exact number but rather what you observed during your time in the post bacc.

Thanks!!

Hey there - sorry this took so long. I forget to check this unless I get a PM - which alerts me via email.

1. In the post bacc - you need a 3.0 to matriculate into the school - no questions asked, you're in (even though they say they only guarantee an interview).
2. Most years they only let in 2-3 people from the Erie post bacc into Bradenton. For our year, they let in 15-20 of us. But this year at the bradenton location, they started a master's program, which is exactly like the post bacc. Therefore, I don't think they're letting in anyone from Erie down here because they're going to let in all of the master's students who reached the required GPA. I think the required GPA for the LECOM-B master's is 3.3... and you're waitlisted if you're 3.0-3.3. Not 100% on that, but I'm pretty sure.
3. I think I answered that above, but you interview and then rank your choices. I put LECOM-B first and got it. But like I said - I don't think they're letting anyone from Erie post bacc into Bradenton anymore due to their new master's program down here that is essentially the same thing as the post bacc in Erie.

Let me know if you have anymore questions!

I interviewed here on 3/10. After the interview my portal changed to "under review post interview" then just this past Friday it changed to "still under consideration." Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone know what it means? For anyone placed on the waitlist, does it show this on your portal or "decision made?"

I interviewed here on 3/10. Portal never changed post-interview. Called on Friday (3/17) and explained that I had a deposit due at another school and would like to avoid paying it if possible and was told I was accepted.

In State, 3.5GPA undergrad, 3.5 science GPA, 3.97 masters in medical sciences GPA, 30 MCAT

Mine did the same thing and then I got a call a couple days later. I was not on the waitlist though. I would just call and ask Annette for clarification if I were you. Worst thing that could come from it is you've shown more interest in the school. Sure beats sitting there sweating while you try to figure out what it means lol.

Okay thank you! You got the call that you were accepted? How long after you interviewed? I haven't heard anything since my interview but that was less than 2 weeks ago so I figured it's because of the limited number of seats. I will probably call and see.

Yes, It was an acceptance call. I guess almost a month after my interview.
 
Got the acceptance call this morning!

Wow thats fast turn around! They told us they are very welcoming to letters of intent, so maybe sending one might help you out. Also if you don't mind me asking, stats?

I'll give them a week, even though I'm anxious.

Hoping you get some good news soon too! Have you sent a letter of intent?

Hey if this is where you want to be let them know that! It will be stronger coming directly from you.

I also had a LECOM-B alumnus write a LOR for me lol.

The same thing happened for me and I was accepted a week or so after! With it being late in the cycle I believe that status means you are on what LECOM calls the "accept hold" list. Basically they are waiting for some seats to open up. Best of luck to you!
