What was the most interesting question?

Let me start with, I applied for the DENTAL school. I guess they have a hard time filling their classes at BU dental. There were no questions asked -- the "interview" was a sales pitch!

What was the most difficult question?

Like I said, no questions.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Rehearsed some common questions, looked over information on the school.

What impressed you positively?

The students were HAPPY!

What impressed you negatively?

There wasn't enough clinic space, and it's in a not-so-nice neighborhood.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That Boston is so freakin' expensive to live in. Additionally, I wish I had researched the neighborhood more - it might deter me from attending.

What are your general comments?

The interview was one faculty member, another prospective, and me. The faculty member was very nice and basically just gave us a tour and tried to sell us on BU. He talked at length on BU and touched on each of our applications, and asked us if we had any questions. There was not literally ONE SINGLE QUESTION during this so-called "interview". That having been said, it was a very positive experience because it was really a chance for us to see if BU would be a good "fit" rather than an opportunity for us to "sell" ourselves.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
