What was the most interesting question?

They were pretty standard questions. Nothing very interesting.

What was the most difficult question?

One word to describe a weakness you might have. (I was angry with this question because when I answered with a word, they told me to give another one because lots of people say that. Okay, apparently I am not allowed to answer how I want to, that made me angry.)

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read my application essays, read up about LECOM, and osteopathic principles.

What impressed you positively?

Very clean and structured facility. They have a 97% Board pass rate. I was impressed. Also, cost-of-living is very affordable!

What impressed you negatively?

It seemed rigid and very controlled. Very business-like. It may have been because of the dress code or the fact that it is only a professional school and no undergrads were milling around.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Enter in the back entrance only.

What are your general comments?

I was impressed with their overall academics and high test scores. I was turned off by the number of rules and regulations they had.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Use name tags and tell us what group we are interviewing in.
