What exactly happens during these informational sessions? Are we just watching presentations or are we actively interacting with others/administrators?

Mostly the former, but there is also asking questions. The interview part is the virtual prerecorded questions, and that’s why it’s called the information session

Yeah I got an interview but have yet to complete the recording. I’m trying to prepare but being that this is my first interview, I don’t really know what to expect.

Just absolutely bombed my video interview. Good luck to you all! Hopefully none of you act as nervous and stutter as much as I just did

Is anyone waiting for their secondary fee to be waived? I emailed them last week about this.

It’s five questions you have the question then some time to prepare then you must answer the question over video in a strict time limit. The whole thing is in one sitting. The email regarding it should have given a little more details.

Honestly just practice going over common interview questions on video and rewatch yourself. Sometimes you don’t notice you do something weird until you rewatch it. I did Erie and Bradenton in the same sitting and had pretty general questions, nothing strange or completely out there.

Got the same email! I've also submitted my online interview but haven't had my zoom session yet. Wondering if it is worth it to go to the in-person campus visit since I live 12+ hours away. Anybody have any insight on this?

Been chilling at a " The Admissions Committee has made a decision on your file. You will receive the decision within 30 days. Thank you." for a couple of days now... Anyone on the same boat? Heard most of this led to an R :/

Same here. I would need to book a flight and would love to hear what everyone else is doing.
 
Is it beneficial to complete the recorded interview ASAP or just anytime before your info session? II yesterday 8/15 and next info session not until 10/17.

From other posters, it seems LECOM does not consider or look at video until after information session is completed so anytime should work

Quick question- when did others receive their link for the info sessions? I appreciate any help I can get! I have a session coming up and have little info.

II for Erie today, OOS. Found out through the portal after 2-3 weeks of my portal reading “You will receive the decision within 30 days.”

I know the interview is pre-recorded videos, but is the information session virtual as well or is it in person?

Congrats! I saw a lot of people who also got the same message (including myself) but ended up being a pre-II R. I wonder what to think of it...

Look through this form and last year’s. They all say day before
 
Did anyone receive any sort of confirmation after signing up for the in person visit day? Or do we just show up on the day we selected??
 
Does anyone have insight about if you rank a campus first that you didn't do the informational session with, if that lowers your chances?

I thought that you are only invited to one campus's info session when you get an II? Please correct me if I am wrong!
 
For the people already submitted the video recording, do you guys said full 5 minutes to answer the interview questions? That translate to nearly 500 words right? I have mine info session set on 8/24 and I need to submit the video recording before that.

Edit: I checked the 2022-2023 forum, it will give you 1 minute to think and 1minute 30s to answer.

Thank you for the reply, I just submitted mine as well haha. I also notice for the one minute preparation, the camera turned green. so you are monitored during the 1 minute preparation. Good luck to you and hope you get an A!

Good luck everyone on your application!

1. Read questions on SDN.
2. write a paragraph ~150 words, that corresponding to ~1:30 speaking.(intro to yourself about 200 words, ~2:00 speaking) I don't think we have time to write everything, but for the one you don't have time to write, at least write few words as prompts, which angle you will approach the question.
3. Sit in front of the computer and open recording, record the answer for 1:30 minutes, replay to see how you do.
4. fix any issues and improve.

That's how I did it. Can't tell whether it is a good way now. If I get A then it is a good way. But at least I can tell you the questions on SDN overlaps a lot on the real one. Good luck on your interview!

Wdym by questions on SDN?

for me it was basic interview questions, two one of them matched with sdn (these are like questions every school asks). The other three were not on sdn interview tab. Also from what I've heard from everyone the questions are randomized so it depends on each person.

So just to confirm, the interview link will be sent before my scheduled virtual session?
