How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over my research, essays, school website, and read periodicals.

What impressed you positively?

That the residents of Bradenton are very excited and honored to have the medical school there. They like meeting the students and knowing that these students will be future doctors.

What impressed you negatively?

It seems that the building is really in the middle of nowhere...but you are assured that the complex is REALLY new and that the developed and exciting cities (Tampa, Sarasota)are close by.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there would be another applicant there wearing the same suit as I did. =)

What are your general comments?

This interview is at LECOM-Bradenton, not LECOM in Pennsylvania so be careful when reading the interview feedback on this site. There is a special "surprise" called a case study that they will give you to read and analyze. You'll be asked to summarize it and if you give a satisfactory summary they might have to ask you questions... like a possible diagnose or interpretation of the lab results/tests. If you do a good job and they are happy with what you have to say then they go on to the next interview question. Our case study was on Obesity in Women (w/ link to heart disease and diabetes type II). The time they take to accept/reject you varies... some people get accepted a week later, some interviewed in September and are still waiting, and some get a letter a month later.
