Good question. I doubt that LECOM is publishing the data that follows those particular admits.

I have heard this…UAB Med admits a few students whose stats are more modest than the typical applicant because those students have participated in the 5 year Rural Medicine Program (premed) as undergrads. To qualify, they must be from a rural area and must promise to practice there or small town for at least X years. These applicants do have to take the MCAT, but they only have to attain a modest score.

From what I understand, these are the students that need more help in med school. They are the ones who are more likely going to need to repeat a year or withdraw. I haven’t directly heard that they are the ones who are more likely going to fail Step 1, but…
