How did you prepare for the interview?

read this site, read the viewbook and BU's website, re-read my application.

What impressed you positively?

I loved the school. I prefer the more traditional lecture classes, but they have good integration classes as well, good opportunities for clinical rotations, everyone was serious but friendly, students seem happy, the school buildings themselves are nicely laid out, and I like that one of the required clerkships is making house calls for the elderly. Lots of other opportunities, like with the MPH program, etc.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview day is a little disorganized, you wind up missing out on parts of the day because you're coming and going a lot.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You have to wait a long time to find out if you got in.

What are your general comments?

I had a great day at BU. I would love to go to school here. The professor I interviewed with was wonderful.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
