How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, AACOMAS

What impressed you positively?

-Building is only about 15 years old -The lectures are on powerpoint -The desks are actually big enough for a laptop and technology is well integrated -Cheap living -Low tuition, scholarships if your MCAT is high enough -You only have to stay in Erie for 2 years. You can do your rotations elsewhere.

What impressed you negatively?

-One of my interviewers was not friendly at all. I think she disliked me because I spoke to her on the phone when LECOM lost my application and I was upset. I guess she already had a negative impression of me. -Mandatory attendance and dress code...it's not high school anymore! -I heard some pretty negative things from people who go to LECOM, like how the Dean came into lecture one day just to yell at them. -Erie is kind of a depressing town. It's snowy and cold and the student who ate lunch with us said they hardly ever plow the roads because the city is broke. -Research opportunities are limited.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They didn't tell us when we'd be called for our interviews, so we all got nervous every time they called another name.

What are your general comments?

I got there around 7:45. The presentations started around 8 and lasted until about noon. They called us out for interviews during this time as well. Then we got sandwiches for lunch and a tour. The whole day was pretty standard and unfortunately they didn't seem to go out of their way to make it fun like they do at some other schools.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
