I got into LECOM's program which is cheaper and only requires a 3.0 to matriculate into the med school

I thought LECOM only guarantees an interview for their medical school if you achieve a 3.0 in their post bac program.

Hi,
Know your application well to be able to speak about your experiences, research etc.
Why this program, why DO, why Touro...
Good luck,

Honestly I don't remember, it was almost a month ago I think so like mid January? It was a phone interview and then it took them about 3-4 weeks to get back to me

Anywhere from 2-3 weeks, my response was slightly past 3 weeks
Hello everyone! Congrats on getting accepted into the program!!!!!
If you are looking for a place to stay while taking the summer courses at TouroCOM, I am subletting my room for the summer (Jun-Aug). Please let me know if you are interested.
The place is $700/month (mostly including everything), 6th floor walk-up. The place is on 145th st, which is 20 blocks away from school. It's 2 subway stops away from school, or you can take the bus (10 minutes).
I'll leave my mattress, pots, pans, plates and everything so you don't have to worry to purchase additional things. It's a very good deal if you are looking for a place to stay for a headstart of the program.

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if Middletown did any in-person interviews this cycle for MS program?
I was invited for a phone interview, but I don't even live that far and would love to be able to visit the campus as well. Please let me know!

Hi everyone,
I was referred to Touro's Master's program on January 25th. I submitted my application on either January 26th or 27th, I cannot remember which date exactly.

Has anyone who has been accepted already received emails about fin. aid or housing or anything? I sent my response form accepting the offer a week ago and haven't heard since.. I don't want to reject other programs unless I hear back from touro... Anyone else wondering the same thing?

Just give a few (until next Tuesday) more days, they take time. It also happened to me. If you won't get back, just email Ms. Portnoy or Ms. Morillo. They are extremely helpful. Also, If I am not mistaken, they don't provide us with housing thingy, so just check on that beforehand. Congrats. Will see you soon.

I was accepted at Middletown, I think Ms. Portnoy might be for the Harlem campus? But anyway, I will give it some time like you said. I'm sure they're just swamped at the moment. I appreciate your insight though, see ya!

Hi guys, currently finishing up my application for the Middletown campus!
How did you guys send your MCAT scores? I tried to send via AAMC but when it goes to selecting the institution there is the Touro college....so I must be missing something here.
EDIT: Can I screenshot and email the official printable score report page? Is this acceptable or does it have to be mailed? Unless there is some other way...

When you get to the official score page, hit print and change the destination from whatever your printer is called to "PDF" and save it, then send it to them in an email.
Also, I know it's early, but is there a FB group for Harlem? I'm excited to start the program and also wondering where everyone is thinking about living.
Just wondering how long it took for anyone to receive their acceptance/rejection? I am on pins and needles here! It's only been two days, but I see that some people received an answer the next day! This is torture.

My application was complete on 2/17, but still haven't heard anything back from admissions. I spoke with Beth and she told me that I simply have to wait to hear back, and that there is no typical hear back time. I'm on pins and needles too, as its been a month now since I submitted. I heard from previous posts that people were hearing back anywhere from next day to 3 months. Geez....I hope I hear back soon.
Hey everyone!
Just wanted to contribute to some of the info for you guys:
I applied to Harlem MS on 2/22, and Middletown MS on 2/24.

Oh wow that was really quick, for Middletown. Congrats. Now I'm wondering what is taking so long. Another applicant stated that they only meet once a month, to make decisions.
Yea it all seemed super quick. I don't really know how the acceptance process works, but maybe I was one of the last interviews before they met to make their decisions for the month?
Let's hope. I am trying to be patient. Not easy!
Nothing as of yet. Interviewed a little over 2 weeks ago.
Hi!
My wife was recently accepted to this program and I am currently an OMS3 setting up away rotations in the city. We have been looking at apartments and while between the two of us we could afford them, we are completely unable to qualify for them. NYC apartments all want 40x income from renters or 80x income from cosigner. We are on student loans and my parents do not make near enough to cover 80x. How do people get around this mess? Are things different in Long Island? Looked into intuit but still cant qualify.
Thanks.

quick question for everyone.
I am confused as to the class progression of this program. My understanding is that, at Middletown, you take most of the same classes as the DO students. Assuming you maintain the 3.5 GPA required for admittance to their DO program, do you wind up taking the same classes over again, are they different classes, or are you able to take a lesser class load?

I am not an MS student but I do know theyre the same exact classes. The workload may be less once you're in if you studied right the first time and really learned the material. When you study again it should feel more of a refresher than taking the time to learn it over again.
Hi everyone. I am trying to send an application to Middletown, as well. Can someone tell me if you have to do the process all over again, to send to the other campus? I can access my application, but not sure how to send it again. I have already applied to Harlem. Is the supporting material to be sent again, as well? Thanks so much!

Has anyone been invited to interview, and then rejected or placed on the waitlist?
Accepted to Harlem as well today! Good luck to everyone!
you definitely have to do the whole process all over again. You actually have to create a whole new account and new application and choose middletown. When it warns you that you already have an account, you have to just continue and make a new application. Then send all new transcripts and letters to middletown.
Congrats!!!!!
No problem! And I think would have to go with Middletown. I had a much better overall experience at Middletown. It seemed to be more of a community and close-knit atmosphere, and felt the staff overall was a lot more caring and interested in me. I am actually genuinely surprised I was accepted at Harlem, I feel the interview and tour was very rushed, and no one really cared about the applicants. Feel free to disagree haha, but that's just how I personally felt.
