✅ 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?

I looked at sample questions on Student Doctor Network, did a mock interview with one of my advisors, discussed my answers to several common questions (e.g. why medicine, why DO) with my parents, and made myself familiar with what LUCOM offered by investigating the school website.

What impressed you positively?

Beautiful, brand-new facilities, friendly and welcoming staff and students, relaxed interviews, great labs (OMM lab, cadaver lab, standardized patient & simulation centers), beautiful scenery.

What impressed you negatively?

Since it's such a new school, there's no board results from former classes or residency placement data.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It really would be as relaxed as everyone said it was. In the interview, they stressed that since you were already there for an interview, they knew you were academically capable, so they just wanted to get to know you as a person, what is important to you, what your goals are, etc.

What are your general comments?

The interview day definitely increased my interest in the school. They are transparent about being an institution with a focus on Christian worldview, but also emphasized that they are welcoming of students from all backgrounds and beliefs. They want to make sure students understand what the school environment will be like so they can decide if it's a place where they will be comfortable/happy. It seems like a great place with a bright future.
