💬 Interview Process

What was the most difficult question?

I was asked a lot by my second interviewer to further explain somethings in my personal statement. This was hard because he was reading it right in front of me for the first time and didn't realize that the answers to his questions were in the essay towards the end. In order to reduce being redundant I tried to reword some answers so this did provide some difficulty

What impressed you positively?

everything. the school is great and they know it. very impressive classrooms and tutorial rooms. all the students were more excited to be there than at any other school i have interviewed at so far.

What impressed you negatively?

tuition and cost of living in boston. So expensive that it might not be worth it. You are looking at 50 thousand a year for 4 years, thats 200 thousand in debt right out of school unless you have considerable savings.
