How did you prepare for the interview?

this website, bu website, rereading my personal statement

What impressed you positively?

the medical center is expansive and cares for a diverse range of patients. south end is an interesting neighborhood...a mix of trendy and sketchy.

What impressed you negatively?

unbelievably expensive to live and go to school in boston. curriculum seems uninspired.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

lots of downtime sitting in a conference room staring at all your fellow interviewees. had to wait for all the interviews to finish before tours, etc could start.

What are your general comments?

pretty low stress. conversational. i did not get any crazy difficult questions, although fellow interviewers said they got more challenging health policy type questions. i liked dean witzburg's pep talk in the am. found a student host that was very accommodating and lived very close to school. had my doubts about bu, and flat out addressed them with the med students. impressed at their unflagging devotion. blew my mind when 8 or 9 4th yrs came out to tour us (lots of walking so dress comfortably). internet access available throughout the day.
