What impressed you positively?

Students and faculty, contrary to some things posted here, seemed very enthusiastic about the school. I didn't feel they put down other schools a lot or anything like that.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost, obviously. I was specifically disappointed BU doesn't do more to offset housing costs.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Don't plan on driving around Boston proper. The traffic is awful and parking is non-existent.

What are your general comments?

I had a great day, after being worried by some of what people posted here. My interview was incredibly friendly, although he did comment that with my GPA and MCATs, I could probably go to a lot of schools. Then he asked me why I wanted to come to BU. I thought that was a fair question. But you should definitely have a good answer for it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
