What are your general comments?
I felt very welomed and at ease the entire day. LECOM holds the interviews early in the day so you can get the hard part over with. Everyone was extremely positive and supportive. The best part of the day was watching the PBL session. I can't believe how much the second years were able to synthesize. I even got to add my 2 cents (with permission, of course!). I'm really excited about this curriculum.
