How did you prepare for the interview?

Read school's website, SDN

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was really enthusiastic about the school, and seemed really supportive. I also was impressed with the curriculum (PBL)

What impressed you negatively?

The only thing that was negative was the interview itself. My interviewers did not seem like they were paying attention to me at all. One of them hadn't even read the article that we were supposed to be talking about, and started reading it while I was trying to explain it. Whenever one person was talking the other was writing and not looking up. Also, whenever I answered a question, one of the interviewers would ask me ''Why?'' at least three times to the same question. There are only so many times you can answer ''Why''

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The stats on PBL and the boards. Apparently most of the students who have taken a PBL curriculum in medical school (this is all, not just LECOM) do above average on their boards

What are your general comments?

Everyone seemed really nice. They seemed like they really wanted everyone to get in. Everything was good except for my interviewers
