How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, SDN, SDN, lecom website, talked with lecom student, read aacomas and 2ndary apps, mock interview

What impressed you positively?

beautiful facility even though it's only one building. everyone was really nice too....lecom definitely moved up on my list.

What impressed you negatively?

someone was heating up chicken or something while we were in the conference room so i started to get really hungry. other than that....it was a great experience.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how many opportunities are available to lecom students (overseas, affliated hospitals, clinical experience from year 1, etc)

What are your general comments?

started with a really quick tour that i wish was a little longer but we got to see just about everything we needed to see in the building. then we sat in a conference room and listened to a presentation while one by one interviewees were called out by interviewers. then lunch then go home. everyone was really friendly and seemed excited to be there. some people don't like the scripted nature of the interview but i feel that lecom is all about organization and professionalism and keeping things very structured reflects what lecom is about. just make sure to read EVERY post here and you'll know every question that you will see.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
