Open file

What is one of the specific questions they asked you (question 1)?

"If you have any gaps in your application, as in a time you were not attending school, and I know that one of you specifically has a substantial one, explain what you did during this time." Report Response | I was asked this question too

What is one of the specific questions they asked you (question 2)?

"Why osteopathic medicine and why LECOM - Seton Hill? (Coupled into one question.)" Report Response | I was asked this question too

What is one of the specific questions they asked you (question 3)?

"If there are any obvious flaws in your application, now is your time to address them." Report Response | I was asked this question too

What was the most interesting question?

"We had a pretty solid discussion on COMLEX vs. USMLE. What people had heard about the differences, things like that. The question was asked by an interviewee." Report Response | I was asked this question too

What was the most difficult question?

"I don't think any of them were that difficult as long as you knew your application. It was, however, more stressful answering some of the questions in front of other interviewees." Report Response | I was asked this question too

How did you prepare for the interview?

"Review of my application, review of PBL curriculum, and just a general look at the location of the school." Report Response

What impressed you positively?

"The staff are great! Every one of them that we got to meet is superb. We also got to experience a PBL session ourselves first hand which was very fun. At Bradenton, we only got to watch a PBL session, not experience one ourselves. It makes you feel like a medical student. Also, the campus is incredibly beautiful." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The campus did not have an anatomy lab. They make a strong argument saying you can be successful without one, and back it up with their strong board scores, but I would still prefer one. Also, the actual campus at Seton Hill is kind of in the basement of Seton Hill university." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Nothing to note." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I loved the staff, and the students we met seemed very nice. I wish that the actual medical school had a bit more to show for itself physically (buildings and things like that.) But Seton Hill University seems very nice. I wish there was an anatomy lab, but their board scores say that you don't need it. I think I would love do very well in the PBL curriculum though, so I could overlook not having an anatomy lab." Report Response
