How did you prepare for the interview?

read my AMCAS app. looked up some stuff on Boston and BU, check out their match list, pretty impressive.

What impressed you positively?

The match list, the dean's opening and closing remarks, the 4th year students' ability to eat all the food before I even got to lunch!

What impressed you negatively?

My tour guide was too cocky.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The T goes everywhere in Boston except to BU Med. I'm now broke from paying for cabs. And there is no more expensive place to go and live in the whole U.S.

What are your general comments?

They need to work out something for more reasonable housing costs for their students. Also, the tour was confusing, I had no idea where I was the whole time. Some of the students spent more time tearing down Harvard then building up BU for us. Can we say defense mechanism??

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
