7 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

5 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, talked to friend who go to LECOM

What impressed you positively?

The program has a good residency placement

What impressed you negatively?

The school seems very militant (and I'm in the military) and unfeeling. Everything is gray (the walls the floors the desks), armed police at the front, no beverages even water in lecture, and lectures aren't recorded. I understand that the school is trying to prepare you for being a professional, but I think there's a line between fostering professionals and treating students like children.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

If you think you need a very structured environment, then I would suggest LECOM.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Instead of dwelling on negative comments seen on SDN, highlight the good parts of the school.
