How did you prepare for the interview?

This web-site, the LECOM web-site, practice interview with a few faculty members at my under-grad institution, looked over my application and essays.

What impressed you positively?

The school is very technologically advanced. All of the lecture halls have laptop stations w/ internet access, Iliked the note service idea, and I also liked the general niceness of all of the people whom I met while i was at the school.

What impressed you negatively?

There are security cameras everywhere! I also did not like the manditory attendence policy. At this stage in the game, I don't feel that students should have to be made to come to class.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish that I would have known how dry my interviewers were going to be before I went. I read on this site, that all of the staff conducting the interviews was really nice and cracked jokes to put you at ease. Well, that was not my experiece at all. My interviewers were very monotone and not too outgoing. I am a very outgoing person and i had a hard ime being as serious as i thought they wanted me to be.

What are your general comments?

The interview was very organized and well set up. All f the information that we were given was very informative and useful. However, lunch had some things to be desired. Be sure to eat a good breakfast before your interview, because you cannot count on the lunch to fill you up!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
