Interviewing Friday at Erie if anyone has any last minute tips!
Closed file but know your application of course, read the interview feedback on sdn for the types of questions that might be askedAre the interviews open or closed file? I'm interviewing on Monday in Seton Hill so I want to be as prepared as possible.
I flew into Erie. Definitely not the cheapest option, but it was convenient. Took an Uber to a hotel near the school, however, I do wish I rented a car. Even Uber fair in Erie was quite pricey relative to my hometown.To all of those who have interviewed, where did you guys flew in to? Im seeing Pittsburgh as the only option and then it is one hour to the school (if u did that, then did u take a cab?)
I interviewed the first week of November and haven't received a portal change either. The wait is killing me. I wonder how much longerStill waiting for a portal change. Interviewed the first week of November and still nothing. The wait is beyond frustrating!
when were you complete?II today! Very first one!! I'm so happy I could cry.
Have you tried reaching the admissions office at all and explaining the situationI am interviewing here tomorrow and realized I have made a huuuuge mistake in the application process.... On the AACOMAS under the disciplinary action section I was unsure if I was supposed to report non-academic incidences, so I did the logical thing and contacted AACOM. I spoke to someone on the phone and they said it was for academic action only, and, having thought nothing of it, I just went on with my application figuring that they would allow me to explain my non-academic probation (for being caught drinking in on campus housing and violating the number of guests per host policy) on the secondary. However, on the LECOM secondary I never got to explain this because it was never mentioned. I never had the intention of hiding this information as I reported it on like 28 other secondaries. Now LECOM has my disciplinary action form listed in my required letters file (just updated today). I was planning on partaking in the optional personal interview at the end of the day and explaining my situation but I figured no matter how I explain it they are going to probably disregard me... Any tips or advice on how to go about dealing with this situation?
Good luck! Its a pretty fun day all around so dont get stressed out and while your in the group interview be receptive to other interviwees meaning when they are responding make sure you dont look like your zoned out or roll your eyes lol.Interviewing Friday at Erie if anyone has any last minute tips!

Anything yet? I could have sworn they said we would know within 30 days and it's about to be 30 days..I interviewed the first week of November and haven't received a portal change either. The wait is killing me. I wonder how much longer
Thank you for all the replies guys. And yeah i am interviewing at SH on monday . Im flying into Pitt and then renting a car to go to GreensburgJust to clarify-- this is 100% correct, but specific to the Erie campus. If you're interviewing at Seton Hill, you'll want to fly into Pittsburgh, not Cleveland or Buffalo. There's also a very small airport nearby in Latrobe, but the only airline that uses it is Spirit and flights are pretty limited.
I'd say just hold on to how you feel right now and walk in being the best version of yourself.This is my first ever interview! Is it strange i am not nervous?
From what I remember during the presentation, DSP is textbook only. No PowerPoints. It's almost all independent study. No case studies unless you find them yourself and study from them.I know this has been discussed a number of times but can a student please describe the differences between DSP and PBL?
I get the feeling that DSP is just power-point slides with missing information that you have to find yourself and then study by yourself while PBL is case studies.
Do DSP students get case studies too? How do PBL students get to prepare for exams when they have no previous interaction with faculty exam authors? Do they get quizzes to asses their mastery of the material? Do DSP students and LDP students take exams at the same time? I'm a little confused on how these 2 pathways work...

PBL is also directed by students, i.e. the group of students choose the study objectives based on the current case study and go from there. No PowerPoints, but there is a faculty guide for each case. The exams then are built from those objectives. As far as examination timeframes, that I do not know.
Oh, yeah, I didn't mean they wouldn't have access to the PowerPoints. Just that they're not fill in the blank.FYI the DSP student I met at lunch specifically said DSP students pretty much have access to the powerpoints in LDP (through making LDP friends). And of course, DSP students are free to meet informally among themselves to make a weekly plan/share resources/group study.
After talking to this DSP student and his schedule, the 5-6 interviewees (including myself) who were talking to him changed pathway rankings to make DSP choice #1

+1received mail today. waitlist. interviewed 09/11. later decision. congrats to whoever got accepted!
For those that received a decision, did your portal change? And if so, how long afterwards did you receive the mail?
Are you waiting on a portal change too? When did you interview?
I live in California. My portal changed 12/1. I asked for a later November 15th decisionWhere abouts do you live? Also when did your portal change?
YAY ACCEPTED.
Quick question was accepted for LDP....but didnt rank that first. Anyone know if PBL at Erie is filled/how to go about requesting a pathway change?
Thanks!

When did you interview/when did you notice a portal change?
why would someone opt for a deferred decision?
It will get in the way. You won't need it, nobody had one at my interview.Ok i have a somewhat elemental question so bear with me. What did you guys take to your interview? Should i take a leather portfolio or something of that sort, or would it get in the way?
Interestingly, a lot of people had them during mine, and some people used them to take notes. But I recommend the only thing you bring is a pen, because they didn't pass any out during the time we ranked pathways.Ok i have a somewhat elemental question so bear with me.

I'm not sure what sort of items you're talking about. The women brought purses, yes, and most suit jackets have a breast pocket for pens, if not in your pants.What do people usually bring to carry those sorts of items in? Pockets for guys and a purse for girls?
AACOMAS has an academic update period that you should utilize for new grades.Does anyone know if LECOM accepts update letters with grades for the Fall 2015 semester?
The period ended mid-october, which doesn't make sense to me because it's no where near the end of the semester.AACOMAS has an academic update period that you should utilize for new grades.

I don't think so. I think people who interviewed early November are still waiting as well. At least, I've seen no flood of accepted messages lately. Hopefully portal changes begin tomorrow for all November interviews.Same, brought a folder with me.
Has anyone from the Nov 19th group heard anything?
I'm a girl so I brought a purse with a regular notebook. A lot of people in my interview group brought leather portfolios. There is a place to hang your coat and you can leave anything you bring in the presentation room when you have your interview and go for the tour.Ok i have a somewhat elemental question so bear with me.

I interviewed 10/16 and still no decisionI don't think so. I think people who interviewed early November are still waiting as well. At least, I've seen no flood of accepted messages lately. Hopefully portal changes begin tomorrow for all November interviews.
