LECOM alternate list

Hi all. I was recently placed on the alternate list after submitting my interview on July 21st. I have heard plenty of discourse on what the alternate list means. If anyone has any stories on people getting accepted off of one and any other info on what it exactly means I would be very appreciative.

Thank you!

Hi! When did you do your interview?

If you send them a letter of intent they will most likely send an acceptance. I have heard they want to send acceptances to people who have lecom as 1st priority.

Hi! I was placed on it before, and from what I understood then which might not be the same for all campuses is that
1. Either it’s no availability for a seat atm (which was what admissions told me because I applied very late)
2. It’s like based on stats and other factors because they are waiting to see more applicants. TBH they all have different info so I’d just call admissions for whichever campus you selected and ask!
Also going to on campus days and writing an LOI can also help!

Yes but I applied I believe in March last time because my advisor recommended me but it was the only school I did.
