How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed the interview feedback. All the potential questions were basically in the last 2-3 years of feedback.

What impressed you positively?

Friendliness of staff and faculty

What impressed you negatively?

Students appeared tired/worn out and generally not particularly happy.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How few seats were left this late in the cycle.

What are your general comments?

LECOM is a great school. The rules are pretty strict, and the LDP students seemed visibly more tired and generally unenthusiastic. That being said, the education seemed quite good and the location was close to housing, hospitals, and is nice and quite so you can focus on studying. I would like to see them record lectures for students and provide more DSP spots.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

If possible, please consider having a Saturday option for interviews. Many of the current students had to leave early during lunch to attend classes/labs, and questions were cut short because of it.
