How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, website

What impressed you positively?

The curriculum is super innovative and constantly evolving,moving more and more to small group work. The dean of admissions is great. Students seem really happy. Boston is an amazing city.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities were not that great considering what you are paying to come here. Cost.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

BU is not close to a T stop. While this seems minor, it means that the possible areas in which you can live is limited by how much time you want to spend commuting. Boton living is expensive. Having a car here is a bad idea, but necessary for years 3 and 4

What are your general comments?

Very early start (730 am). History presentation from dean, interview, lunch with students, finaid, housing, tour, wrap-up and done by 230.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
