How are yall preparing for the virtual, recorded interview? I wasn't expecting this so early, so are there set questions that will be asked? Was it the same last year?

Idk if you saw, but at the top of this thread there is a super helpful link to interview feedback specifically for LECOM - Bradenton, so I think first I'll be reviewing that a bit before hand.
 
It appears they are doing things a bit differently this year with interviews. Record it within 7 days and they give you an invite to a 45 minute "info" session before your recording is due, but only offer one time. This session is "optional". Has anyone inquired about attending a later session? I have a work shift and cannot attend.

Anyone else get the invite for the on campus day event? When I went to look at registration dates they only had the Erie, PA campus listed but the email was about completing the virtual interview for bradenton.

I got the same thing.
 
Someone on reddit received an II today. They said they submitted their secondary on 7/15...
 
Stranger so session seems to be what they are describing as a "LECOM Bradenton’s Tips for a Successful Virtual Interview"

Please join us for a 45-minute optional session this coming Tuesday afternoon at 4 PM. During the session you will receive tips for completing a successful virtual interview and have the opportunity to engage with current students in a question-and-answer format. "

Is this like the previous group session they had years before or they just go rid of it? Unless they plan on doing group session interview later on?
 
For anyone who has already completed your interview, was there an option for an Early Decision Program like there has been in previous years?
 
kinda worried about this....I received my secondary invite on June 19 (so two weeks was July 3). I have called the office a couple of times and every time they keep saying to give it some more time. is anyone else still having this problem?

I’m not understanding your question. What are you worried about?

sorry for not clarifying...when I open up the link it has a "start application" button and won't let me access the actual place to submit my secondary. When I put in DO after clicking it says to submit through AACOMAS which I already did

Oh wow. The secondary application had some major issues last month and it took me a while to submit but I got my secondary the same day you did. Even after submitting my portal was acting a bit strange for a while. Seems like it is still having some issues

Did you do anything to fix it (I tried using a different browser and all of the basic things) but none of it seems to be working.

Unfortunately I just had to wait. But I still think it’s very strange that yours hasn’t worked this whole time.
 
IS II this morning.
To confirm with you all, is the virtual asynchronous interview the only interview they have, or is it phase 1 of some kind? I have the deadline to turn in the interview/video by next Thursday by midnight: it being just 5 questions with 1.5 mins to respond means that the interview will be just around 10 mins, correct? Will the zoom tips session available on Tuesdays help a good deal for the interview, or could I try to complete it this weekend?

Thanks everyone.

It's kind of a mystery still as after you send in your recorded interview it seems you'll get an invite to an "on campus day event" that has a "group interview" component. This was not mentioned in the info session, where they seemed to indicate we'd get an answer in a month. But the "campus events" are all well after that month. I can't seem to get any clear indication on whether this on campus event is required.

As for the info session, I think you should do it before you record. And please let me know if they say anything about this "group" interview for "on campus" day. I had to leave early (it ran over) because I was at work. Thanks and good luck!
 
During the interview info zoom I was told they'd start sending admissions offers earlier than they did last year and now I'm being told they won't start until mid October, anyone know which is correct?
 
How do you schedule for an on campus day event? I been trying to do it but their portal doesn't seem to accept it. Anyone else having this problem?

I received an invite email after I completed by recorded interview. I have not tried to pick a date yet.

Nice let me know if you can pick a date. As I am trying right now too and not going through
 
Just want to clarify....does the supplemental application actually have any questions? Or is it just confirming demographics and paying the fee?
 
I just checked my portal and saw “EAP AP scores” listed as red now on my checklist but wasn’t there before? Not sure if I need to do anything, anyone else had this happen?

Where did you here mid-October?
 
Is anyone also having problems scheduling a date for the on-campus day event? Last week there were only dates available for the Lake Erie campus and now it's saying there's nothing at all. I sent them an email for clarification but was curious if anyone has had success with the scheduling process.
 
for those with interview invites, do you mind sharing your stats? I submitted 6/20 and i’m starting to get nervous 😭

resolved as of later today! it was buggy this morning but then they fixed it
 
Just got an email inviting me to a secondary that I already completed and paid for. Went on the portal and my whole application restarted. Anybody else experience this problem?

Same. The payment still shows and when I click to resume application most of my info is still there, I just noticed the ACT question blank. I am not re-submitting just yet. I emailed medicinefla. I’ll update if they respond. Please update if anyone answers your emails.
 
Yep also got the secondary email. I have an II, should I go forward with the interview without first sending them an email or talking to them? I think it's very likely just an error ofc, so I am leaning towards just proceeding and not doing anything about it.
 
Man, they said to look straight at the camera for the interview but I was not able to do that consistently. There were sometimes three questions in one prompt, and I had to reference back to the prompt to remember what to talk about 🙁
Hopefully that doesn't have an impact lol
 
registered for an on campus day event and confused at the group interview aspect it mentioned... was the virtual interview just the first step in the interview process before a group interview?

Did they send you an email to register for the On-Campus Day Session after your interview or is it something you found on the portal?

As for if the virtual interview is just part 1 of the process, I think it differs between campuses. At the interview prep zoom call earlier this week on Tuesday, a rep from Seton Hill that was doing the presentation said that they have a group interview component at their On-Campus Day Sessions. However, in the chat, a rep from Bradenton said that the On-Campus Day Session was optional, and in the list provided about the activites being done in the On-Campus Day Session (tour, q/a, etc.) she did not mention the group interview component. I wonder if someone from last year can comment on if Bradenton does the group interview stuff on the On-Campus Day Session...
