What impressed you positively?

My Interviewer was very sweet and very endearing. She genuinely wanted to know about me and who I was and listened very intently to what I had to say. She was receptive to all of my questions and offered words of encouragement - I really lucked out this time. Also, the dean was a really great guy. His speech(es) were well thought out and very genuine,even though they sounded rehearsed a bit. He is a great guy who will answer anything and everything you want to know, and he really emphasized the whole application process as one which can lead to a better understanding of yourself.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost of the School, the area. The students mentioned that mugging is not uncommon in some of the nearby areas. Also, the 1st year students at the lunch were not very enthusiastic and had no real reason why they chose BU and like (or dislike) attending it.

What are your general comments?

Overall it was a better experience than I anticipated. There were several things about BU that became appealing to me through the interview and I dont think their appeal would have held up without my experience there. The day was a little long and boring at times.
