What are your general comments?

Casual and conversational w/ seamless Zoom interface. My interviewer was easygoing, welcoming, and knowledgable about BMC. The flow was unstructured but organic. No questions except 1 ethical dilemma were prepared by my interviewer. I wish that maybe there were questions prepared so I didn't have to guess on the points that interested my interviewer, but I think we connected well in conversation and I found our most relatable points that way. The dean is so generous, and the students at BU have given me the best vibes of all my interviews!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Include a personal tour of the school and hospital facilities in the student panel to add a touch of real-life :)
