How did you prepare for the interview?

BU website, this website.

What impressed you positively?

I got the impression that the school works hard on their curriculum and cares about the students. First two years are mediocre, lot of students don't bother to go to classes (lots of powerpoint). But clinical years seem excellent.

What impressed you negatively?

The south end/Roxbury area is both pricey to live and dangerous. Not very accessible to the rest of the city since there is little parking and no T stop nearby.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

It was very pleasant. I felt like we covered all the important aspects of my application, without being an inquisition. The interviewer was relaxed and seemed happy to talk to me.
