Deadlines

Treat April as the last exit, not the target. Admission is rolling, acceptances go out as people interview, and the catalog says only limited interview dates remain after April 1. LECOM itself tells you to finish the supplemental as soon as you get it.
Bradenton is a separate application. If you also want Erie, Seton Hill, Elmira or Jacksonville, you'll file a second AACOMAS listing and supplemental, so decide early which campuses you can live with.
Below 497 on the MCAT isn't the end here. LECOM will consider an Academic Index Score built from your GPA and old SAT or ACT scores, with a minimum of 110. If you never took the SAT or ACT, though, the MCAT is your only route.
The Florida-resident discount is small: $355 in the first year and about $7,300 over four years. Don't let it drive your campus choice. Bradenton's own COMLEX Level 1 first-time pass rate was 97.78% in 2024-25.
