does anyone know how to login to the lecom status page...the admissions people said that that my status has been updated and to check to make sure everything is ok online...but i cant seem to find it. I tried logging in to the candidate portal but that's not showing my status as a matriculated student...

Have you tried going to the Admissions tab?
On the left-hand side, you can click on Required Letters and Credits > View Folder items to see which documents you still need to turn in. Just be sure to use the drop-down menu next to Program to access your status for the right campus.
You can also go to Admissions Status to check if they've received your deposit. Mine says... "Congratuations, on your acceptance to LECOM at Seton Hill. We have received your matriculation fee and agreement. You will be contacted over the next few months."
Hope that helps!
I was considering LECOM-Seton Hill because it is very close to home. However, I was concerned about PBL too. I think PBL at Erie would be fine, but my thoughts were that LECOM-seton hill won't have all the profs available at to answer questions in every topic. Some of the profs are coming from Erie to facilitate PBL, and then they leave. This is how I understood what Irv Freeman told me.
I haven't received a financial aid packet yet. Has anyone received information about financial aid?
Yeah, it's sent via email. If you want to have a look at it before LECOM sends it to you, PM me with your email address, and I'll send it to you.
When did they send it to you? I got the matriculation packet almost 2 weeks ago but nothing on financial aid yet.
I received my matriculation packet on 2/19 and received the financial aid packet on 2/23. If you want, you can call Bonnie Crilley at the Office of Financial Aid at (814) 866-6641.
I got my acceptance letter to Seton Hill last week. I also interviewed at PCOM last week. Since I wouldn't hear from PCOM in time for LECOM's fee deadline, I sent the money in. I really don't know which I'd rather go to. I love the idea of PBL buuutttt... I'm really scared to be in the first class.
So, here's everything I know about SH:
We'll have the first floor of Lynch Hall which includes an auditorium for lectures and 12 rooms for PBL sessions. There will also be a room (or two?) in the library for labs. They updated the library to accomodate us and we'll have access to everything that Erie students do. There are pictures available at lecom.edu in the article about the board of trustees that went to see the campus. There will be 13 full time profs and 4 part-time.
The campus is quite far from anywhere that we would be living, so a car is necessary. One thing I don't know is if they have a shuttle that goes from town to campus. Anyone familiar with the area know??
I asked Linda Linville if there's anything we should be afraid of being the first class and having no upperclassmen. She said the faculty has discussed this issue and they plan to be more available to us being that we'll have lots of questions and no upperclassmen to ask.
According to Seton Hill's website (which I think would be a good thing for you all to look at), they are a proud Catholic school with a strong art program. I'm not super religious, or really at all, so I don't know how I'll fit in there. Really, it seems like a strange fit; science majors on a religious campus (not saying that we're all atheists, but science and religion don't always go hand in hand). The town of Greensburg also seems to be very chill and artsy. They have lots of theaters and musical performances in town. There's also lots of little shops, eateries, bars/clubs, and coffee houses. Oh, and Linda also told me that the average rent in town is about $600/month.
Does anyone familiar w/ SH and Greensburg have any useful info? Such as if there's a bus, where are they planning to house all of us, when will it be too late to get housing, etc....
I really want to love this idea, but I'm so scared of being in the first class. Pretty much everything else is a perfect fit for me.
Well anyway, any info would be helpful. Oh, and Happy St. Patty's day!!!!
anyone know if it's possible to go look around the facilites at seton hill? also, how is anatomy going to be taugh, videos? what about other labs, will we not have them there?
So I actually asked that direct question during my interview then to Irv Freeman the dean of LECOM-SH about a month ago, and they both said we are grouped in with Erie and have the same exact options as the Erie students. I really really really really really really (okay i think you get the point ) hope that they haven't changed that, but i haven't heard anything to say that they have.
I know Dr. Freeman said that they added the hospitals in Greensburg for more rotation options and for the people who would like to stay there for all four years but we are not REQUIRED to be there. I mean, there is a certain amount of LECOM students who have to rotate there, just as there is at any site, but you get my drift! Also, with taking on Seton Hill they had to get approval from AOA, therefore, also having to up the number of rotation sites.
Has anyone heard anything else on this??
My wife just spoke with a woman about student housing for LECOM-Seton Hill students. The lady is renovating a place in Jeannette which is only a few minutes away from campus. I guess there are Seton Hill students there now but as of this summer it will be open to LECOM medical students only. She said there's about 10 rooms with bathrooms, a common area: living room with couches, T.V. and pool table, study room, kitchen, free off street parking with all included utilities-cable, internet, water,electric, gas,etc... She said the bus line passes right by and goes into Greensburg. Thought this may be option for some- Contact info: Fran 412-601-1192

Hey Guys,
I recently interviewed at LECOM last Friday and today I checked my portal to find that Seton Hill was added to the list of programs under the Admissions Status page. For those who received the same update, what does this mean? I'm SO nervous!!!
Any info would be great. Congrats to everyone who's been accepted. To everyone else, I wish you all the best of luck.
Take care and best wishes.

Is your first name Rudy by chance? I carried you off the field at Notre Dame stadium a few years back.
As i understand it, we will be in Greensburg for the first 2 years, then for clinicals we go where we are assigned.
You will be asked to select the location or the month you would like off (only get one or the other) where you would like to complete your clinicals, so if you really like Greensburg you can stay there as LECOM SH picked up some hospitals out there for us to rotate through. Otherwise you can/will move to where your clinicals are.
Hope that helped!
Haha. Someone has finally got my movie reference. No, unfortunately my first name is not Rudy; however, I am a senior at ND and I guess you can say I'm the underdog when it comes to applying to medical school. How about you? I take it you're from Philly? You a domer by any chance too?
