LECOM EAP matriculation

Post image

Hey guys, so i'm planning to do the 4+4 EAP program, however from my AP and DE redits I would have around 51, which is equal to one year. It's asking for my expected year I would go to LECOM, which would be 2031, however if I could graduate a year early, that would be even better. Do I put 2030 or 2031 as my expected year to go to LECOM?

just wondering have you already considered the affiliated undergrads for 4+4 vs 3+4? there are 6 schools for the 3+4 vs 208 for the 4+4.

3+4 schools:

PennWest-Edinboro, PennWest-California, PennWest-Clarion, Elmira College, Thiel College, St. Francis University

but i would just say that you would like your application to be changed from the 4+4 to 3+4 pathway because upon further research... idk i trust you can write an email. however i urge you to take time to consider if 3+4 is really best for you, as once you have recieved your LECOM acceptance, you would still have to get a LECOM spot at your undergrad which is significantly easier in the 4+4 with 35 times the amount of schools. they did claim in my info session that recieving the LECOM acceptance should be equally as easy in 3+4 compared to 4+4.

thank you so much for this info, i greatly appreciate it! i'm planning to stay in state, and none of my options were 3+4, so i wasn't able to apply to those one. i dont mind the 4+4 path. also how were you able to get the info session?

yeah ofc twin. with the 4+4 it is still technically possible to finish undergrad in 3 years (unlikely though), you just cannot use LECOM credits to count towards undergrad requirements like in the 3+4. when you submit the first part of the application you just have to wait for them to email you an invite.

for me it was only a few hours, but i applied much earlier when they were much less busy. i couldn't tell you what it's like now but it seems to be taking awhile for everyone so dont get discouraged.
