How did you prepare for the interview?

What impressed you positively?

Very informative and structured interview process.

What impressed you negatively?

Student interaction was not as impressive because it seemed like they either did not know they were supposed to be there or they were just not passionate enough. I wanted to talk to some PBL students, but they were not present. Also, I wished the students had done the tour; it would have been more lively and realistic as they actually use the facilities.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My family could not be with me for the interview process, except the tour.

What are your general comments?

The whole interview process was well ran and gave the impression that the school do care a lot about the students, and want to help them succeed no matter what. I really enjoyed and learned many useful information about LECOM, which I could use to make a decision. The only down side of the interview process were the student representatives.
