✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read these IV questions. Prepared thorough answers to universally common interview questions the night before so my thoughts were straight.

What impressed you positively?

PBL. It really does take sitting in on a session for an hour for you to appreciate how different and innovative this type of learning truly is. Also, the facilities are pristine.

What impressed you negatively?

The security guard when you first walk in is a complete D-Bag. He does not help the initially nervous interview day. Just know this is going to happen and let it roll off your back.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The security guard is the polar opposite of friendly. Also, after the interview day is complete, you can privately talk to the dean of admissions if you would like to. It's a nice courtesy to students who would like to go the extra mile and get the chance to explain things that may be found on their application. (You can't do this during the interview because it is closed file)

What are your general comments?

Very impressed. Initially LECOM-B was towards the bottom of my list, but after touring, interviewing, and watching a PBL session, it has moved to #1 or 2. PBL really is the future and this school knows how to do it (based off of their board scores).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing. Everything seemed organized and fluid.
