How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the school's web site and brochures; talked with current BUMC students.

What impressed you positively?

The other interviewees were friendly, cool people; the urban campus has a lot of energy.

What impressed you negatively?

Admissions office staff basically introduced themselves and then ignored us all day.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The medical school classrooms are sub-par and the bureacracy at this school is completely assinine.

What are your general comments?

I interviewed at BU in Fall 2001, at which time they told me I would hear a decision from them in Spring 2002. When a letter failed to come, I called to ask about my application only to be told my file was still "under consideration." The story was the same in the summer of 2002. I have since started medical school elsewhere, but never heard from BU. What did they do with my $95 application fee? Don't they have the courtesy to tell me what they decided about my application for admission? The level of professionalism at this school is seriously lacking.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
