No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN interview feedback, read SDN threads and PMed peope, read LECOM website, prepared answers for the nine questions they ask

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was extremely frinedly at LECOM and in Erie, the facilities were good, they said next year anatomy lab will be a combination of prosection and disection (it used to be only prosection), and I love love love the learning pathways and the primary scholars program

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I didn't realize the Primary Care Scholars program had two pathways to it, lecture and ISP. I want ISP so I had counted it out. Then I had to make up my mind quickly. They ask you to rank your preference of pathways before you go to lunch. Oh, and there's no food offered until lunch time. No bagels or anything, so eat breakfast ahead of time. My stomach was growling.

What are your general comments?

Overall a great experience, very laid back as far as interviews go. They put you at ease. I can't add much to what other people have written already. They ask everyone the same nine questions more or less. Everyone is very friendly and puts you at ease. Dr. Wise is hilarious and very open about LECOM's pluses and minuses (snow). The students are all really friendly and laid back, tell you whatever you want to know. LECOM is definately my #1 pick.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
