LECOM EARLY ACCEPTANCE PROGRAMS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL AND PHARMACY SCHOOL

LECOM's medical, dental and pharmacy schools together reserve up to 5 seats each year for our students.

Lake Erie College and the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine have partnered to enable talented students to gain acceptance to both LEC and LECOM. LECOM's medical, dental and pharmacy schools together reserve up to 5 seats each year specifically for Lake Erie students.

High school seniors who meet application requirements may apply for early acceptance to LECOM while they are applying to LEC. Current Lake Erie College students who meet application requirements may apply for early acceptance to LECOM before Feb. 1 of their sophomore year. (LEC students also may choose to pursue regular acceptance to LECOM.)
