I was so grateful to have an interview with LECOM, and I think I did pretty decent on most of the asynchronous questions (some bleh). How long does it usually take to hear back from them, and does touring with them in a few Fridays affect this timeline?
I have been accepted for class Erie of 2031 and was wondering how rotation sites work. Do you spend year 3 and 4 at one specific hospital? Or do you get placed in an area and have to drive distances to the rotation buildings every day? Do you only have to move twice (once for year 1+2 and then once for year 3+4)?
just a quick question cause i’m curious lol
my LECOM app as been under “application complete” for two months now but it finally updated today: there’s a brand new incomplete checklist item called “Pathway Selection” … it asks me to rank the campuses and learning pathways and that the information regarding these things is in my “interview packet”… but i haven’t received an interview invite or packet of any sort … did anyone else get this form before getting an interview and am i supposed to fill this form out asap? 😵💫😵💫 or could this all be a mistake 😭 or did i end up getting an interview and it hasn’t updated yet idk 🤷♂️
Hi everyone! I have an on campus interview at LECOM Bradenton October 23 and am hoping to get some advice from anyone who has interviewed there this cycle or in the past.
How did you prepare, what was the overall atmosphere like, and is there anything you wish you had known beforehand? I would love to hear about your experience!
I want to make sure I prepare well without overthinking it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
I was wondering how you all would rank the following DO schools. For context, I'm currently leaning towards going into a competitive residency specialty (derm, ENT, gen surg, ortho), so I'm trying to see and rank which school has better resources, better match rates into competitive residency specialties, comlex pass rates, curriculum, teaching style (PBL?), etc. I don't think the geography of the school matters much to me.
Any thoughts would be great, especially if any current or former students at any of these schools has any input.
Does anyone know what questions they will ask during your interview for this year? And, would they care if you stutter or ramble?
Differentiating factors between a WL and an A at this school?
what do u do!!!! just gotta live with it now
Title pretty much. Have my interview due in a few days. For anyone who's done a similar type of interview, do you have any advice? How did you prepare?
Basically the title- I applied to LECOM Bradenton and Erie on AACOMAS weeks ago. Got an email to submit my secondary to Bradenton, but haven't heard anything from Erie. Application portal says the app hasn't even been started yet, but I already submitted on AACOMAS, so am I missing something?? I reached out to support and all they said was "looks like you have to sign into the portal and finish the application," but I don't remember doing anything other than the secondary in the portal for the Bradenton application?
Hi everyone! I had the opportunity to interview at the Bradenton location and wanted to share my thoughts.
To begin, I was honestly really nervous for this interview. Reddit posts do not always share the greatest feedback about LECOM in general, so I was nervous going into the interview.
Everyone at the school was extremely friendly. I arrived very early but didn’t struggle at all finding my way around the school as there is someone at the door to assist you while signing in. They complimented everyone’s outfits and asked where they were from to help ease the nerves. The interview itself was very reasonable and the interviewers were professional but still made an effort to be complimentary and friendly. We were given a very thorough walk through of the admissions process, financial aid, and what to expect as a student there.
Overall, I was very impressed with the school and the layout of the in person interview. If you have the ability to interview in person I highly encourage you to! I hope this ease’s some anxiety around LECOM.
If anyone has any questions I am happy to help wherever possible but will not reply to messages asking me about interview questions.
Hi all!
I’ve recently got an II from LECOM Jacksonville, and I’m super excited. I’ve also applied to LECOM Bradenton and I’m just wondering if it’s gonna separate interview for that campus? What are the chances of getting an II for Bradenton if I’ve got one from Jacksonville? Thank you so much!
Hello everyone! Like many in this sub, i was invited to interview in early december. What are my chances? I selected lecom to be my first choice on the secondary, does that hold any weight?
Hey everyone,
I just got an interview invite for LECOM Erie (the asynchronous video one).
Before I start recording, I'd really appreciate insight from anyone who has taken it recently!
Any tips or advice would mean a lot. Thank you so much, and good luck to everyone!
Have to complete my Lecom Erie interview by Wednesday night and nervous bc I bombed Casper. Anyone have sample questions they were asked?
I had received invite to do asynchronous interview with LECOM, but never got a separate Pathway Selection form? Did anyone receive this separately? I think I remember filling this out after submitting my secondary but I am not sure. Is anyone else having this issue??
Got a few questions, any insight is appreciated!
I read that Bradenton does not have as strict policies on dress and water, is this the same case with Jacksonville?
What are students' housing arrangements usually? Do most live in nearby apartment complexes, did people coordinate to share apartments before starting, etc?
How close is the class? If there is strict professional dress, does it make the environment feel less communal and harder to bond with other students?
Biggest pros and cons that you can think of? And how much spare time do y'all usually have, if any?
Thanks!
Edit: Specifically asking about the DO program
Just like the title says, I opened my LECOM portal today and it says a decision has been made, but I never received an email or letter. I interviewed 7/22 so it’s been about 20 days. When should I expect an update to my email?
Received the news that I was offered Alternate List. Does LECOM admit applicants off the Alternate List? Anyone have past experience with this? What is the difference between Alternate List and Waitlist? Can you still be admitted if offered Alternate? Thank you guys. Wish you all the best this cycle!
I think my interview went well aside from my screen going black during the 6th question. I answered half of it and then somewhere when it turned off said “I think I’m having some technical difficulties I’m sorry” and when it came back I had 4 seconds left. So I felt like I bombed that one. Also I had no issues during the audio and connection test. I think it was an issue with one of my cables of course
Anyone have clear issues in their interview and still got accepted to Erie or any campus? :( bummer after preparing so much! Trying not to let it get me down from an otherwise okay interview.
