How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over some BU material

What impressed you positively?

Clinical experience, traditional curriculum, location

What impressed you negatively?

Cost, although they have held tuition steady over the last four years.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you're going to drive in Boston, make sure you have terrific directions. This is not an easy city to navigate.

What are your general comments?

I had a positive experience at BU, and although I have chosen to another school I am glad I went. This is a great school with a lot to offer, especially as far as clinical experience goes. They have a very traditional curriculum, with less problem-based learning then most schools. My tour guides were excellent, by far the best tour I've had thus far. The interviewer did in fact ask me many medical and science based questions in addition to the standard questions, but it was done in a non-stressful sort of way.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
