10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I didn't.

What impressed you positively?

The school is very modern and nice. The faculty were all very friendly and made you feel like they wanted you to attend BU. The APEX program seems like a great jumping off point to finding a job after school. Tons of research opportunities. BU has all specialties. It's Boston!

What impressed you negatively?

Everyone does not have their own chairs. It doesn't seem like they get that much clinical experience since grades are based on "competency" rather than a set number of procedures. I'm not sure how good the patient pool is (Tufts and Harvard are all close by). The cost/high cost of living.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Beautiful school. Very welcoming staff. I didn't think much of BU until I interviewed there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
