✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my personal statement and essays. Looked at the website, and read SDN.

What impressed you positively?

school was modern, clean. There is a mandatory shirt and tie dress code, so the atmosphere was very professional. The staff was friendly. The interview day was relaxed and the interview itself was conversational. I was pleasantly surprised by how big Erie is, and the weather was not too cold ( I come from the west coast). Also, LECOM owns their own hospital.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviews actually could have been a little longer. Short amount of time to make a great impression. The library closes at 11, and the school closes at 12.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. Easy to find the school, airport was easy as well.

What are your general comments?

Very positive overall. Friendly staff, I liked the city. I think people give the location a bad rap because the school is randomly in suburbia, but the town extends far beyond the campus.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
