Has anyone gone through the LECOM interview process yet? I have one next week and its my first interview ever so Im very nervous! Any advice on what to expect/questions to ask/or answers to have prepared? Any advice will be appreciated thanks!
 
^ In addition to my question is Dec 3 the deadline for interviews or do some schools do post december interviews still? Just nervous since the LECOM one is the only one I've received and its already so late....
 
Many schools will continue to do post-December interviews. December 3rd is just an important date because the schools accept the students they believe to be "cream of the crop". So hopefully, you'll get more interviews post-Dec!

As to LECOM, there's only one part of the entire interview day that you need to be on top of your game for, which is the group interview. You'll be put into groups based on alphabetical order, and you'll be in a group with 5 other students, and 2 interviewers. Mine was laid back, but some others have said that they needed to fight for their chance to answer questions. Just be cordial, and be yourself. Too many people were so nervous that they were stuttering. So make sure you're calm and have answers prepared for the ones on the interview thread!

Good luck 🙂

Every school does it differently. Lecom is one school that will send out acceptances for their entire class by Dec. 3rd. And then schedule more interviews based on how many spots they have left (after people decline to go to Lecom because of other acceptances). That is what Stephanie told us on interview day. Just be yourself. Be prepared for the generic interview questions. Be honest and answer why you would do well in PBL.

Other schools won't send out acceptances for all of their class on Dec. 3rd. It really just depends on the school. So I wouldn't give up hope on more interview invitations just yet. Best of luck!
 
awesome thanks for the help guys!
