3 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

1 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read up about school, looked over AACOMAS and secondaries

What impressed you positively?

It seems like a great school. Great facilities from what I've seen. Students seem happy.

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't see any human patient simulators and they didn't talk about the use of standardized patients. Do they have these? The interview was a bit like an interrogation. They kept trying to talk me out of my answers.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They ask for your hotel info because they send you a care package. There's no modesty in medicine. The tour guide took the applicants (mostly females) into the men's locker room while they were stripping down to their underwear. Then, they took us into the OPP lab where again everyone was half naked.

What are your general comments?

Thank you LECOM!!! I'll probably be seeing you next year.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It is too hard to get in touch with Amy Rowe.
