✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read book on interviewing, reviewed LECOM web site, reviewed LECOM interview feedback on SDN, knew my AACOMAS application backwards and forwards.

What impressed you positively?

96% first attempt pass rate on first step of COMLEX, Amazing Wellness Center, choice of curriculum pathways, reasonable tuition. I also thought it was really clever to give all the interviewees a flash drive with LECOM info on it. Saves paper and is a gift we can re-use! Nice!

What impressed you negatively?

Lunch was terrible - pizza and iceberg lettuce salad. I didn't like the group interview format. Also, the day ran an entire hour over what the schedule stated. No opportunity for patient contact during first two years, either.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Bring your own lunch if you have gluten intolerance.

What are your general comments?

I was very impressed by the facilities and the curricula. The day was too long, though. I also did not like the group interviews. We each only answered two questions during the interview.I had so much more to say! I really loved the surrounding area which is very suburban bordering on rural almost.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Stop the group interviews - with applicants only getting to answer two questions during the entire interview it isn't really giving you enough information about the candidates background and motivations.
