No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over BU's web page, chatted with some friends-of-friends who go there

What impressed you positively?

The many, many opportunities for clinical exposure in the first two years.

What impressed you negatively?

Lack of housing in the area, especially since the university-owned building charges market rates.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The need for a car in the last 2 years -- something I wasn't expecting from a city school.

What are your general comments?

My interview went very well. He was a very chatty guy, hence the long time. I impressed him with, of all things, my knowledge of the state of the movie theater industry. Somewhere in there we talked about my application and medicine too. The tour went into a ward and through the whole ER. While this is interesting, I felt like our little tour didn't really belong there, out of respect to the patients.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
