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.
One application covers Erie, Seton Hill, Elmira and Jacksonville, but those campuses teach differently. Only Erie offers lecture, directed study or the three-year primary care track; the others are Problem-Based Learning only. Know which you want before your interview.
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.
Elmira is PBL only. You'll learn in groups of about eight working through patient cases three times a week. If you know you learn best from lectures, Erie is the better fit under the same application.
