Waiting for snail mail has slowly been killing my soul! It's been 3 days since my status has changed! I hope I get it today and I'm real tempted to contact Mr. Murphy to try and find out already!!!
Anyone call to find out and get an answer??!?
Got aitlisted to several schools
WTH! I got denied acceptance! I have plenty of EC's, I've worked as a MA the past few years, I'm a URM, I have a cum GPA of 3.07, MCAT 498, I'm starting to think I'm getting rejected Bc I have an autoimmune condition... I'm starting to lose hope here...
Are there other programs whose deadline hasn't passed that are similar to LECOM's? Can any of you shed light on programs that accept the stats I have? Thank you...
What are my chances into a DO program if I apply the first week it opens?

All you have to lose is the application feehi do you guys think it's to late to apply. I had the application since feb but didn't apply until I knew I could pay for this. I have a 3.34 cum and haven't taken the mcat yet. I'm worried i waited to long and now I don't have a chance.
Did they tell you they were waiting for something? Like an mcat score? Maybe you should email Mr. MurphyMy app has been under review for months
My app has been under review for months
So I didn't do well on the MCAT. i think i was just nervous or something. I ended up getting a 496. Also, the science professor who was going to prep my LOR by august 1st has basically flaked out on me (not responding to my emails and he hasn't been in his office the past 6-7 times i went there in the past month). My gpa also dropped down to a 3.07 from a 3.1. I am taking 2 summer courses (both are science). hopefully ill go up to a 3.1 by then (or higher). I have no idea what happened... i think i just 'crashed'. My gpa dropped, my mcat score was bad, no LOR, etc. I am thankful that I did end up graduating with 2 degrees though (bio and sociology) last week. UGH. Maybe it was the stress of graduating? commuting 2 hours everyday for school? feeling like a loner? trying to coordinate mcat studying while taking 22 credits? idk. i can't let these things get to me if I want to become a physician. I know things are only going to get more difficult.
My parents want me to just apply to the Caribbean, but I know I won't perform well there. They think that I will just make things work there. HOW?
Sorry guys, just needed to vent to someone. Pathetic of me. Anyways, my game plan has changed a lot. I'll prep for the August 5th mcat (work my ass off). I will apply without a science LoR. I'll go the AIS route where they only take GPA + SAT + ACT scores. I went on their calculator and I have a 114. It says i am eligible to apply with that number. My MCAT score is a 39 percentile. Reading from this thread, I know u need a 40%. That's why I am going the AIS route. I'll email my sociology professor for a LoR. I'll ask 2 physicians (1 DO 1 MD) for LoRs. Hopefully that'll be enough? UGHHHHHHH.
Anyways, does anyone know who I should contact about using the AIS score? and who should i email about submitting an application without a science LoR?
Sorry for the rant.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the encouragement and kind words. Feeling a lot better. I guess I was just panicking a little. I spoke with Mr. Murphy. He emailed me almost immediately! Anyways right now I'm going to submit what I can. I plan on contacting the professor I have been trying to reach until august 1st. But, I also plan to do well in these two science courses that i'll be taking next week and hopefully get letters from either professor.
For any future applicants who plan on using the AIS method and who are wondering about whether they take super score for the SAT, they actually don't. Mr. Murphy emailed me saying that they only take the single highest attempt.
Any advice on the best place to live that is near campus, preferably furnished with included utilities. Thanks in advance!
Are you speaking about the post-bacc specifically? If so, I think it's just the nature of the beast. And that's why if you can get in directly to a school somewhere, it's probably a good idea to take that route and save some money.I'm not liking the review of lecom...most former students say they are doing horrible there, even when they study bard...and average gpa is like 3.2? That ain't good...it's probably good for lecom but not for other schools
I definitely identify with your concern, so it's a good idea you're doing research before the program begins! And yea, a 3 at lecom is acceptable but not so much for other schools. I think the best advice that was given by previous students was to go HAM first semester and get a little cushion for second semester (when you take path)What scared me was how hard pharm was...average first test was like 67 and second test was like 70
Is this program highly selective. Do a lot of people get denied?
While I was reading through the thread I believe they are pretty lenient on people who dont have a very high gpa. The main reason for a post bacc would be because you your Mcat is good but your science gpa is low making it difficult for you to get into med schools. Just read through the whole thread most of the answers to the questions are there. One thing I have noticed is that this program seems to be very rigorous and they are trying to weed people out through the post bacc year. Just a thought to keep in mind. Again this is stuff ive only heard about by reading through the WHOLE thread.
I'm sorry to hear that dude, but thanks for posting your statsRejected today
Got my letter in the mail about a week after seeing that my application was complete.
499 MCAT 2.85 cGPA although idk if that's important. People wiith lower/higher will get in but just in case anyone was curious
For those who are also applying to dental school this cycle, are you applying to LECOM through AADSAS? Are we required to do that despite enrolling in the program?
Is the genetics class like undergrad genetics? Punnet squares, that chart with the filled in squares and circles, etc.? Just out of curiosity.I'm just going to put this here for people who are too lazy to look through the thread (you should though because there's a lot of useful information)
In terms of difficulty
Fall Semester:
Physiology >> Histology > Biochemistry > Microbiology > Cell Biology > Genetics >> Critical Thinking
Spring Semester:
Pharmacology >>>>> Anatomy >>> Immunology > Virology or Pathology > Intro to Clinical Med
Critical thinking is the dumbest class out of all of these and possibly the only class where you obtain nothing except wasted time and effort.
Is the genetics class like undergrad genetics? Punnet squares, that chart with the filled in squares and circles, etc.? Just out of curiosity.
And about histology, do you just print out a bunch of pictures and just quiz yourself on each tissue sample?
Cool thanks!Some Punnett squares but overall much easier than undergrad. If it's the same professors teaching, just go over the slides.
For histo, I just looked online for already made quizzes and I used the book for clarification. It takes too much ink to print out pictures and the quality is lost.
do you guys think the On-campus day in June is worth a trip over there? it'd cost me about $700 since I'm coming from Texas and trying to decide if it's worth it...
It's June 10th at 1pmWait when is this open house??
