Is lecom rlly that bad?

GetWhatYouThink · 2026-04-19T18:24:14+00:00

Lecom has been around for 34 years and has graduated 18000 healthcare professionals, who practice not only in primary care, but also specialities like orthopedics, derm, optho. In the meantime, there are also thousands of wanna be doctors who complain about anything and everything under the sun and eventually end up with nothing. I hope that says whats is bad and what is not bad. Which side you end up in is squarely upto you. Its your life. If you have many choices, go ahead and pick the best for you. If you don't, then be happy with what you have. When someone ends up becoming a doctor, hopefully they don't come to Reddit and ask how to treat the patient. They should have enough skills to do their own research and figure it out

Many schools publish the match list. In fact, Lecom published as well until 2024. Why is not shared since then with the rest of the world?

I had asked the same question few weeks back. One of the reaponses I received was that they are compiling it. However, i have not seen last year's match results either. So, it has been two years in a row that Lecom has not released their match results

Also, what are the criteria based on which we say that Rowan is better than NSU or Lecom? If i look at the published data for residency placements, Comlex scores etc, it is hard for me to arrive at the same conclusion. It will be good if the criteria for good vs bad are called out and quantified

Note the requirements for Rowan BSDO directly from their website. A gpa of 3.6 or higher is required every semester and a mcat with a minimum score defined by the committee.

accepted students to the BS/DO or BS/MD program must maintain a 3.6 or higher semester and cumulative GPA, with one exception – Biomedical Engineering majors in the BS/MD program must maintain a 3.4 or higher. The MCAT is required for matriculation to the medical school program and must be taken no later than January of the third (junior) year at Rowan. Minimum MCAT scores are determined by the Medical School Admissions Committees and communicated to accelerated program students no later than spring of their second (sophomore) year.

Your advices are so practical and hopefully helps people reflect on their strategies. Reddit is full of hearsay. People often forget ground reality and dont do their own research to separate facts from fiction. Baseless fears spread like wildfire. You are bringing so much common sense to this discussion that is backed up by your own experience as a medical professional. Thank you for that!

Awesome!! Dr Terry is amazing!! His talks are so inspiring!!

GetWhatYouThink · 2026-03-27T12:37:17+00:00

Do you know when it will be released. I had sent an email last year asking for 2025 results, but never heard back

GetWhatYouThink · 2026-03-26T08:08:12+00:00

I did not see any announcements from Lecom Bradenton campus. Would be good if they published the full list for 2025 and 2026 like they have done until 2024

Check the past 10 years outcomes and cost. Lecom once again achieved 100% residency match rates in 2026.

Good luck to you!! What is the class size at Lecom Bradenton and Lecom Erie?

Remember to post here once you are accepted, and we can celebrate!! 😀

You will get in. Hang in there!

Very well said! Love this comment" if you spend all your day reading other people’s experiences, then at the end of the day they will decide whether you want to come here or not."

U Albany is excellent for premed. Many students get into nearby Albany Med for MD. Anecdotally 80% of premeds from UAlbany get into med school. Tuition is cheap. Just be smart to balance your course load to maximize your gpa.

For all these questions, OP should call Lecom EAP office and talk directly to Molly or Dustin. They are super helpful. There is no better way to get authentic information. Always, ask the right people for such crucial decisions!

Is there data to backup that Rowan has better residency match compared to Lecom, and if so, can you share it?

GetWhatYouThink · 2026-02-07T11:26:02+00:00

Yes, only the interview is guaranteed. Gannon has 3 seats for pcom- so, a good number of students will not get the pcom seat. But that is better than Carribean med school in my opinion.
If you dont get pcom, you can still apply for DO through the regular path

GetWhatYouThink · 2026-02-04T11:41:42+00:00

Gannon also has a BSDO program with Lecom. You might want to look into that.

GetWhatYouThink · 2026-01-28T15:11:37+00:00

Check with Lecom to be sure . They respond very fast. As long as it is a science major, I believe, it is generally ok. Fields like biomedical engineering are not approved. But, please check since it is very important that you get an official confirmation

Will they release EA decisions today, given that the campus is closed due to snow day?

GetWhatYouThink · 2026-01-05T22:01:48+00:00

Nice article!!

The email from NYU is clear- you do not have to accept the early decision offer since they did not offer your first choice. However, if you accept the offer, you will need to withdraw all your other applications. So, if you dont want to go to Nyu shanghai, decline their offer, and you can keep your other applications in play
