No responses

What was the most interesting question?

Standard questions, nothing too interesting.

What was the most difficult question?

To how many other schools I had applied - This was the low point of my interview because I mentioned I had applied to Allopathic schools too, at which point they began asking about my Osteopathic motivation. But I recovered and they didn't seem to care too much.

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

studentdoctor.net, reviewed aacomas and lecom apps

What impressed you positively?

Mostly brand new facilities. At the risk of sounding sexist - most of the girls were hot!

What impressed you negatively?

The Anatomy lab seemed a little small compared to others I have seen. Also, they assign 5-6 students/cadaver, as opposed to 4.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They have you read an article while you're sitting in the room waiting to be interviewed and then ask you to summarize it during the interview - I hadn't seen this posted on any LECOM interview feedbacks.

What are your general comments?

All in all, positive. It does get a little boring sitting in the room for 3 hours straight. Also, it seemed the admissions staff/faculty was self depracating to the point where they were almost under-selling the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
