What are your general comments?
The day began with a tour and then we had to sit in this room and watch a movie about Erie and listen to some presentations. Randomly people got called out for their interviews, but no one knew what order or time we were going. I anticipated my name being called everytime the door opened and didn't end up interviewing until last (11:30). This is why I thought the interview process was stressful. I also missed the finacial aid presention when I was in my interview. All of the questions in the interview are read directly off of a piece of paper and the same as what everyone is saying on this site. The admissions person told us that One interviewer is supposed to be the "mean one" and one is the "nice one." SO don't be worried if one does most of the talkinig and the other writes stuff on the paper the entire time. After the interview we had lunch with other students.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
If I would not have known this one ahead of time I don't know what I would have said.... Tell us about a situation in which you were faced with a conflict and how you dealt with it?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Talked with friends who already went nto their interviews their, this website, reviewed my application materials as well as information from the school.
What was the most difficult question?
Defending MCAT scores that were somewhat low, but they must not have been too terrible since they offer me an interview and acceptance.
What impressed you positively?
This is one of the closest schools to my home and also one of the cheapest.
What impressed you negatively?
I do not like the dress code rule. I don't mind dressing up in an professional setting but I learn best when I am comforatable. I also do not like the building hours (closes at 11pm).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I spent almost a week at LECOM during my junior year so I already had a tour and attended classes, so I already knew a lot about the school.
