What impressed you positively?

"During lunch, we had two very frank 2nd yr med students who told us exactly what to expect at LECOM. They answered my questions honestly. I like the fact that they have three learning pathways and they start patient contact early (first year second semester). LECOM's really big on community service. " Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"They should have had a mock session of each of the three learning pathways. You dont dissect first year, you prosect. The dress code-- but the second years pointed out that this was to our benefit when we start residencies and rotations.The cafeteria lady was rude. The tour was conducted by a staff member and she practically read of the sheet. Ther gym and hours are pathetic. " Report Response

"It really is in the middle of nowhere. LECOM is a beautiful "campus". It's jsut one building. Not a very diverse town. " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"To every con, I seem to justify it with a pro probablly evident in my entry. This was my first interview and the kids I interviewd with were awesome. When the first interviewer came in, he remarked, "This is a smiling bunch of kids." I think they observe your behavior with each other. Elaine Morris provided a lot of info about LECOM and the town itself. Pay attention even if your nervous about the interiew so you can ask the panel questions about what you heard. I dont know what to compare this expereince to given I haven't had any others yet. " Report Response
