How did you prepare for the interview?

read essays to other schools. got some sleep--7:30 is early

What impressed you positively?

The clinical opportunities, the hospital, the faculty, the attitude of everyone i met. BU has a $200M for providing care to the homeless and uninsured people of mass. which means you really see a bit of everything. Boston is a fantastic city.

What impressed you negatively?

the cold--a 6-7 min walk to my interview at 7:30am in -18 degree, windy weather. the price. my tour guide was a very conceited/dorky M4 but this was not typical

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing

What are your general comments?

Dont stress. the interview is really just a chance for them to talk to you and get to know the whole you--academic and outside of class. this seems to be a place where one receives a first rate clinical education. i'm not too sure this is the place to go for research buffs, but thats fine for me. people complain a lot about the cost, and it is bad but i still feel strongly that BU is a great place to study medicine.
