How did you prepare for the interview?

Practiced questions with family, studied the school web site and this site was extremely helpful as well!

What impressed you positively?

The school is small, close-knit, very modern and IMPECCABLY clean. The faculty and students I met were very friendly and made me feel welcome. The cost of living in Erie is also relatively low.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really; perhaps that Erie is not a very exciting town, though this is not among my top personal priorities.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Again, no surprises.

What are your general comments?

The atmosphere of LECOM is that of a small-town school and they are not afraid to show it; this seems like the kind of place for students who are not keen on huge campuses and thousands of students mingling about. The interview itself was straightforward; my best advice to anyone preparing for an interview at this school is to simply be yourself, be human, be passionate about your future medical career and don't try to be more than you are. This was my strategy and I got accepted. If it worked for me, I don't see why it would not work for others.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
