No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That we were going to get the tour of only one side of the BMC.. and not the trauma side.. I didn't really get to see the BMC that I have heard so much about.. and really one of the most important reasons why I want to go to BU. I also wish I had more sleep the night before..

What are your general comments?

I felt I didn't have enough time to ask my questions.. While I did loved the session with the faculties, I wish it wasn't so formal Q&A format.. the questions were so forced..

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
