What impressed you positively?

Almost everything. Everyone is so enthusiastic about BU. VERY approachable, down to earth faculty. Students seem very happy. Boston is a great city and GREAT place to study medicine. The school really did a great job of trying to sell itself to us. Dr. Witzburg's enthusiasm is infectious.

What impressed you negatively?

If there's any catch to BU, it's the cost, of course. But to their credit, they addressed this concern head-on. We were given the straight financial aid facts, and Dr. Witzburg explained WHY BU is so expensive. I really appreciate their honesty and realism, plus it's good to hear that they're concerned about the cost too and are trying to find solutions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How awesome BU would be!!!

What are your general comments?

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to come here. Now I just need to be accepted and see if they can make it semi-affordable for me to attend...
