DODO said:hopefulfuturedo,
What did you like so much about LECOM and what path do you think you are going to take? How much did you have to shell out to reserve your seat and when was it due (I saw $500 for acceptance but then $1000 for matriculation, a little confused)? Thanks.

I guess they liked my tie, be joining everyone there in August.
anutka21 said:Hey, guys I have a question. How do you know which pathway were you accepted in. My letter didnt specify the pathway. Is that decided based on ratings you gave during interview? Thanks
Thats what I thought too. thankshopefulfuturedo said:I dont' know. I signed up for LDP as my number one choice. So I just assumed that was the pathway I was admitted into. Hope that helps. How did you rank your pathways. I think we are so early that we get what ever pathway we chose as number 1.

Doctortobee said:Hey
If you guys or gals have any questions about LECOM, feel free to PM me. I am an MS3, was in LDP, and do not have a degree in the sciences.
As far as vacation time, this year I believe they are getting 3-4 weeks off for Christmas/New Year's just the way the days fall. Normally you get a good 2 weeks for Christmas. Thanksgiving classes end at noon on Wednesday. I think for summer between MS1 and MS2 years you get at least 8 weeks if you don't have to remediate anything.
If your acceptance letter doesn't say anything, that means you are in LDP.
doctorE2010 said:Hi guys, I'm pretty sure I'll be attending in the Fall. I liked the school and really like the low cost of living (would like to buy a house). I originally put Lecture pathway, but when I interviewed at Bradenton they kinda sold me on PBL. Now I'm not sure if I want to try to switch to PBL. Any thoughts???

jjmcentee@hotma said:but if at all possible; don't shoot yourself in the foot by accepting admissions here.
It's going to be hard paying attention in next semester's classes (especially O-Chem! )
I heard there was a gym (sort of) on campus but I didn't get to see it during our tour. Where do you all work out?

The streets are set up numbered, the lower the number the closer it is to the lake, the higher the number the closer it is to the expressway. And what's better is its devided into East and West. LECOM is on the West side, and its at about 38th street. So if you get a place on East 2nd street, your pretty far away. Yet West 36th street is close. Lower East side is bad between East 5th and up to East 26th.
Thought that may help

NUcat1 said:Anyone know how well LECOM-Erie students matched into residency programs?? I too just got accepted. thanks
They do not release those info. I wonder why or what they're trying to hide. Kinda strange if you ask me.Dorkus Maximus said:I heard LECOM doesn't release their residency matches. I'd like to know too!

Dorkus Maximus said:Hey hopefulfuturedo,
How 'bout the Broncos shellacking of the Eagles last week?!? Whooohoooo!
tryinhard said:Hey guys,
I look forward to meeting all of you!!! I was accepted today!!!!
Dorkus Maximus said:Congrats! I'm so excited for everyone! Isn't it the best feeling in the world?!?
Here's how it was for me:
Waiting for the letter in the mail:
Opening the letter:
Reading the word "Congratulations!":
After putting the letter down:
Raven Feather said:Same experience for me too. Hey Dorkus, you have kids, right? (I thought I read that somewhere.) Anyway, I heard the Mill Creek area has an awesome school system. I know a MS 4 there.
So anyway, I chose the PBL pathway, I come from a medical background and thought it would better suit me.
Im 90% sure I will be attending LECOM.
