How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read LECOM Bradenton website. Bought $1,500.00 ticket.

What impressed you positively?

The grass was well-groomed.

What impressed you negatively?

Security was overwrought and self-important. There is a 7 foot alligator named Lee out in the back pond. There is a very, very strange and scary clown picture gallery that freaked everyone out but the staff thought it was so wonderful. Weird vibe from the man interviewing me who had never even looked at my file. He was belligerent and confrontational.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I did not realize the interview was closed file. This puts the candidate at a distinct disadvantage and is a very lazy way for a medical school to approach interviews.

What are your general comments?

I felt that I had been done a disservice. No one had even the remotest idea of who I was. It was very strange.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Change the interview to open file so you act as if you care about the interviewee, or at least know
