What impressed you positively?

My host was great. Boston. The school is really user friendly - one professor met with a group of students who did not receive stellar grades on a mid-term 3 hours a day, six times a week for 2 weeks before the final!

What impressed you negatively?

The focus on the double-degree programs. A week after I got in, I got another invitation to apply to a double-degree program. Pushy, pushy! Also, it is so expensive and there are no need-based scholarships the first 2 years, not to mention aid for students whose parents may be able to pay but wontarent. In general, the school seems to be having money problems more so than other schools.

What are your general comments?

So many others have said this before, but it really felt like an interview factory. There were about 40 interviewees. The day started out with a long morning of talks, most of which could have been compressed into an hour or so. The coordinators do a great job organizing and definately work hard to make the experience positive (lots of food at several stretch breaks, finding out the answer to my question which stumped them - how many students to a cadaver, etc.) My first interview was strange - he was a little rough in his mannerisms, and at the end of the interview, disagreed with everything I said. The next person who met with him said the same thing, so I knew it was OK, and it was since I got in a few weeks later.
