What impressed you negatively?

"Nothing" Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"I didn't realize the Primary Care Scholars program had two pathways to it, lecture and ISP. I want ISP so I had counted it out. Then I had to make up my mind quickly. They ask you to rank your preference of pathways before you go to lunch. Oh, and there's no food offered until lunch time. No bagels or anything, so eat breakfast ahead of time. My stomach was growling." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Overall a great experience, very laid back as far as interviews go. They put you at ease. I can't add much to what other people have written already. They ask everyone the same nine questions more or less. Everyone is very friendly and puts you at ease. Dr. Wise is hilarious and very open about LECOM's pluses and minuses (snow). The students are all really friendly and laid back, tell you whatever you want to know. LECOM is definately my #1 pick. " Report Response
