✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

BU's website, my secondary, my primary, my friends who have been to BUSM.

What impressed you positively?

diversity!!!

What impressed you negatively?

facilities, but tbh i kind of liked the worn down aesthetic feel of things there

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that tehre would be like a million interviewees, and that no matter what they say, the deans of admissions dont know your applications that well.

What are your general comments?

i loved BU, i was very surprised. My fellow interviewees, on the other and, were the weirdest group of kids I have ever met. First of all, half of them were from Yale, and let me just say that Yale CLEARLY has some work to do in teaching communication skills. It was amusing.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

fewer people during the interview would be nice.
