How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed a list of standard questions...quickly typed out short answers to keep me focused....

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were willing to share personal opinions of how they viewed their own roles at LECOM. Also, we had a chance to have lunch alongside other MS1 and MS2 students and could observe their activities and demeanor. Everyone seem happy and some were even asking us questions....

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. The process was streamline and efficient. The staff was optimistic about us and tried to convey a real interest in us as people. Dr. Wise was amazing!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Research opportunities are a bit difficult to break into, unless you have some prior experience in the lab or field. Need to be proactive and driven if you want to make a name for yourself; nothing is 'offered', just mentioned.

What are your general comments?

I can honestly say that I was impressed. My other choice was PCOM, and I wasn't sure how to decide until I looked at the numbers (number of elective/selective choices, cost of education, living expenses, number of topics taught, number of hours for OPP/OMM, number of students who got one of their top three choices of residencies). They are also ranked as matching one of the highest number of specialties among DO schools.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
