What impressed you positively?

The great clinical experience that students get and the access to all different kinds of patient populations. The strict Pass/fail system of the first year. It was kind of cool seeing the anatomy labs, but I don't know how appropriate it was especially since the faces were uncovered.

What impressed you negatively?

surrounding area is a little dreary and tuition and cost of living are so high.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Getting there and leaving by bus to get to the T is a little confusing. They could do better about giving directions, but I guess Boston is big so that would be difficult.

What are your general comments?

My interviewer was very laid back - he just wanted to clarify my activities and academics. He was honest about the process though and how difficult it is to gain admissions, but he said that all of his interviewees get into some medical school. The school's facilities were fine, not great, not bad either. The dean of admissions kept on stressing that if you had a bad interview, you should let him know and he'll set you up for another one. I'm not sure if he read the previous person's comments on their interview or what...But it seemed like everyone there had a good, laid back interview and I think bad interviews are uncommon. The day is long and everyone has to wait until all the interviews are over before going to lunch and the tour so there's alot of drag time. there's plenty of food though throughout the day. Overall, BU was better than I expected.
