The next school I interviewed with was Lincoln Memorial University – DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine in Harrogate, TN. This was the one school that I really didn’t know much about. To be absolutely honest, LMU-DCOM was a school I applied to based solely on it’s name (who doesn’t want to attend a school named after Pres. Lincoln!?).
What I knew before visiting LMU-DCOM
What I know after visiting LECOM
Since LECOM was the first school that I interviewed with I was not sure what to expect. LECOM’s interview is different from any other school I visited. I was interviewed by 2 doctors at the same time. One of them had a PhD and the other was a DO. The thing that made LECOM’s interview different was that neither of the interviewers had access to my file. LECOM’s admissions commity has the opinion that if you were good enough to receive an invitation for an interview then your interviewers should just get to know you. I found the interview to be very relaxed and actually enjoyable. The PhD interviewer was very friendly and loved to talk.
