SDN feedback

What impressed you positively?

The staff was kind. Its neat that they also have a pharmacy program )in the same building); the facilities are adequate, a good number of rotation sites in Erie, cheap housing, cheap tuition (in comparison to other private DO schools), 3 learning pathways

What impressed you negatively?

A lot- dresscode, no eating in the building, building closing at 11pm, big class size, prosection anatomy, 5-6 students to a cadaver

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Erie really doesn't have good weather.

What are your general comments?

It was very, very, very boring. Seriously, the interviewers stuck to the nine questions like crazy glue- they literally read the questions off their sheets and had spaces to write my answers down as I spoke. I felt that I could have written down the answers myself and mailed the form in- why did I have to come all the way to Erie for that one sheet of questions?? I don't think this interview method is a good way to get to know students- its easy to memorize the kinds of answers they want to hear and spew them out during the interview. I left this interview unchallenged and with a sense that LECOM is too stiff of a school. I got in, but I am probably going to pass.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
