I haven't interviewed there yet but I went to Sarasota last month. My advice: be careful where you stay cause not all hotels are nice. We booked a Super 8 in Bradenton through Expedia. It had great reviews but it was nothing like them. It was very dirty and falling apart. We ended up loosing our money for that night cause the hotel didn't want to refund the money after 5 minutes of checking in. We went inside the room, realized it smell like cigarettes and that it was dirty, turned around, went to the office/lobby and they refused to refund the money. Ended up staying at the Holiday Inn Sarasota Airport. This was VERY clean and much safer than the previous one. Also, check some hotels around LECOM because I was told that some offer a discount if you let them know that you are interviewing at the school. Good luck!

Looks like I may have a similar experience, I booked through Expedia based off reviews. I've had some terrible sleeping conditions before but I'll definitely report back just in case someone wants to give it a try. But it also means my opinion will be biased because I've slept on a door mat on a cold tile floor before :shrug:

Hyatt Place Sarasota near the airport was great. Rate was ~100 per night booked through Expedia. On the day of the interview, it took about 30 minutes to get to campus pending a quick stop at McDonald's for breakfast and traffic.

Lol!!! I've slept in "modest" hotels before but nothing like this. We weren't even 5 minutes in the room and left smelling like cigarettes... Plus other stuff that we saw that would be gross to mention here...
Good luck everyone interviewing!!!! You got this!!! :highfive:

I've been under review since 07/27. 22AA 23 TS 25 PAT sGPA 3.53 oGPA 3.38. Very similar stats to you. I've gotten interview invites to schools much more competitive than LECOM, so I have no idea what's going on with them.

The bad experience was at the Super 8 Bradenton Sarasota Area. The good experience was at the Holiday Inn Sarasota Airport. Two years ago I stayed at the Courtyard Sarasota Bradenton Airport and it was good as well.

Pretttty quiet on this side of SDN... :thinking:
 
Hey guys, I really enjoyed my stay at the America's Best Value Inn. It was about 10 minutes from the dental building. The breakfast was really weak (wouldn't even call it a breakfast) and the area was not the best, but I've lived in many rough areas in my life so it did not affect me. I would recommend it and will give them a positive rating on expedia/trip advisor.

@kmpate03 @Domenick12

Don't want to say anything too revealing, not that I am a gunner scared of the competition, but I do not want to upset the school. I will let you know that since we are on SDN, we are better prepared. I spoke with a few interviewees and they did not have any clue what PBL is or that it was a group interview prior to arriving there. Definitely review PBL and see if it is right for you, but they also have a few presentations before you go into the interview. Honestly, I think everyone in my interview group did great. There were 6 students and 2 faculty, and they just asked normal questions. A good thing about the group interview is that if there wasn't someone there to answer a question first, I probably would have stumbled over it.

Many of the questions are on here http://schools.studentdoctor.net/school/lecom-sdm-fl?tab=1

I don't want to ramble on, but this was far less stressful than my UF interview. This was many of the students' first interview so they had a bit of nerves, but after the interview was done I didn't notice anyone that felt bad about their performance.

If you have any more questions then feel free to PM me.
