"Standard interview style questions - greatest accomplishment, who has influenced you. Some new questions that haven't been mentioned here before. I think they are swapping in new questions because they want on the spot answers... and honestly, those answers really did represent the person better than their rehearsed ones." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"See above. Questions may vary between interviewers and may or may not be one you have read about here before. They want to see how you interact with one another as much as they listen to the content of your answer." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Why LECOM / DO?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"All very standard questions" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Why DO?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"I made sure that my suit fit, my shoes were shined, and my hair trimmed. I studied a bunch of interview questions that I read about on here, agonizing about which historical figures to invite to dinner and what three adjectives best described me... of course, they didn't ask a single question for which I had prepared. I ended up having to answer on the spot, and I think that worked well for me. We will see." Report Response
"Almost everything. The pathways are great. I might love everything about a school, but if it only offered PBL, I would have to pass on it. I picked Erie over Seton Hill campus because of the range of options with regard to learning style. I'm also excited about the 3 year primary care scholars program. The interview was much more relaxed than I'd expected. I appreciated that the presentations addressed "negatives" about the school and the area. They are very upfront about inclement weather, the dress code, etc. I honestly appreciate the dress code. It won't be a lot of fun to comply with, but I do expect to have to dress that way for the rest of my career. May as well become comfortable with it now." Report Response
"The attitudes of some of the other candidates. There were a few mumbled complaints about the strictness of the school's rules. I hope that they will seek acceptances elsewhere, rather than coming here and whining about things that were made very clear to them from the start. Also, winter in Erie is going to be rough. The gray walls are a bit drab, and coupled with the snow, it could be a recipe for depression. I noticed some current students wearing outrageous shirt/tie color combinations, and I attribute that in part to a desperate need for color." Report Response
"Don't bother preparing for specific interview questions... you will waste a lot of time preparing for things you will never be asked. Just be able to speak intelligently about who you are and why you are doing thing this. They really are just trying to get to know you." Report Response
"This school is NOT for everyone. People don't take its downsides seriously enough, or they treat it as a "safety school," and end up disappointed with their experience because they would have been happier somewhere else. It provides an excellent education, and it will be a great fit for the people who are genuinely attracted to it. If it isn't for you, please don't waste a seat that could have gone to someone who would love it there." Report Response
