✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Practiced interview questions, read what they sent on PBL, read the school's website

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were really new, PBL seemed like a great way to learn (although sitting through a 2 hour session was a bit much)

What impressed you negatively?

There are only 4 cadavers and no dissection in anatomy, you learn from 2D slides. The school was really in the middle of nowhere and there didn't seem to be much to do in the area.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Be aware that you'll need to read an article before your interview and they'll ask you to summarize it. Also you'll be the only interviewee in your PBL session, which I didn't realize going into it.

What are your general comments?

I expected to like LECOM-B more than I did. There wasn't anything wrong with the school, I just can't see myself there. I prefer schools in an urban environment and with a nearby hospital. A big turnoff for me was the area it's located in - turns out that other than Disney World, I'm really not a fan of Florida.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
