⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

No change 😐

What was the stress level of the interview?

3 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

One of my three interviewers was extremely nice and responsive - the other two people basically sat there with blank stares, and didn't really smile much or respond to my answers. The interview consists of ten questions read off of a sheet of paper. The one guy seemed to make some effort to make the interview more than that, becoming somewhat converstional at times; the other two, however, simply went down the list. I left the interview having no clue how I did because of the complete lack of feedback. Turns out I was accepted - would have been nice to hear a "good job" or something.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell us anything about yourself you'd like the committee to know.

What was the most interesting question?

Describe a conflict and how you handled it.

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN - all the questions people listed here were right on. I just wrote out answers to each, so I would be prepared to respond to them eloquently.

What was the most difficult question?

Describe a conflict and how you handled it.

What impressed you positively?

The other applicants there with me - everyone was very nice. It seemed like a cool, intelligent group that I'd enjoy being in school with for 4 years. Also, the PBL pathway, along with location, is what seals LECOM-FL as my first choice.

What impressed you negatively?

Erie SUCKS. I've travelled a lot, and I've honestly never seen such a dreary, gross, boring place. If the FL campus wasn't opening I would NOT be considering LECOM.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really. The no food/drinks rule sucks, but knowing it beforehand wouldn't have changed anything. LECOM-FL is my first choice regardless because of location and PBL.
