How did you prepare for the interview?
Drafted responses to common questions to gather my thoughts and then using that as a loose guideline rehearsed my responses aloud.
What impressed you positively?
State of the art facilities. The school is brand new w/ tons of windows and natural lighting. It has an amazing patient-sim lab and cadaver lab w/ excellent air filtration - no formaldehyde smell at all. The faculty is welcoming, friendly and warm - there was never a moment where students, administration or other faculty weren't talking to you or asking if you had any questions.
What impressed you negatively?
Hard to say really. My experience was very positive.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
You will likely be guided in short prayers by either the admissions committee or even your interviewer. You are not forced to say anything aloud, do anything or even participate if you don't want to. All that happens is a LUCOM faculty member says a few positive words on your behalf. I will say - I've read plenty of stories about this on SDN and was worried about feeling uncomfortable but I can assure you it was not a weird experience.
