Accepted Applicant Info

When are acceptance letters mailed to regular applicants?
Acceptance letters are typically e-mailed within 72 hours after the interview. If a student qualifies for a scholarship, a scholarship offer letter will be included in the email. All students will also receive a Fellowship Award application. Fellowship awards are one year financial awards. We offer GPA based scholarships of 5, 10, or 15%, and a 10% scholarship for students who have an 80th composite percentile score or higher on the PCAT. These scholarships are renewed each trimester as long as the student maintains a cumulative 3.0 GPA, a trimester GPA of 3.0, and does not receive a grade less than a C in any course.
When is the response to the acceptance offer due? LECOM typically sets the official matriculation dates for each entering class in the spring before matriculation, so the above date may be subject to change.
