How did you prepare for the interview?

Skimmed the 152 page curriculum guide to LECOM. Read the DO's by Norman Gevitz. Talked with friends on how their interviews went when they interviewd there two years ago. Studied the LECOM magazine. Studied the ten questions they posted up for LAST YEAR.

What impressed you positively?

Nice students, nice people, nice location, great programs, and awesome facilities. This is going to be one really cool school to attend next year. I was surprised time and time again. I won't spoil them. The mock PBL session is a blast! They brought in an actual instructor to work us through a case study. The admissions guy, Dr. Moore, is a really nice guy. Call him!

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The ten questions posted up on SDN for LECOM = No longer used.

What are your general comments?

The people here are realy polite so it is necessary to keep the answers short. I ran my mouth too long at times, but they will just sit back and listen. I kept waiting for any sign for them to speak up, but they keep good poker faces. This was my first interview. I really liked these people. Highly recommend anyone to check it out if they have a chance. Also, everyone talks to you like you have been already accepted. Even the hotel staff said congratulations like I was already accepted. Will have to answer similiar sounding questions at both two-on-one interviews.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
