How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Talked to the students I stayed with the night before, looked at the materials they sent me and the website.

What impressed you positively?

That the admissions staff and my interviewer were enthusiastic and specific. Boston is a great place, and the school's history is actually interesting.

What impressed you negatively?

That they kept saying "above average" as though trying to justify that they're a good school though they're not ranked very high. Also the cost of tuition and housing. Also, they have an inferiority complex with Harvard nearby.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No big surprises.

What are your general comments?

They really try to persuade you to like BU, but at times they're trying too hard and they're going for a specific audience of students who seem to be choosing between a state school and BU. On the other hand, my interviewer was great!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
