What impressed you positively?:
lots of chit-chat time with other applicants and intern selection committee/program directors who seemed friendly, very diverse class, food at conferences daily, morning conference at 7:30am daily while the nurses are rounding to improve attendance; rotations are at two hospitals: CHB (huge, free-standing) and BMC (30ish pedi beds), PHENOMENAL REPUTATION- opportunity to work with attendings that publish in Pediatrics etc - thus amazing mentors!!!; 80% residents remain in academics & many become senior level faculty, but residents can basically command their future after BCRP Report as inappropriate
What impressed you negatively?:
boston is sooo cold in the winter; pretty expensive - no subsidized housing provided, not as bad as NY, but more expensive than Chicago & Philly; residents complained that they don't really get a break until 3rd yr Report as inappropriate
How was your interview day? Please summarize.:
very long!! 7:30 am interview day begins until 7:30pm when happy hour ends - make sure to get plenty of sleep the night before! just as laid back as other peds interview days. the schedule intimidates me, but it will probably be my first choice Report as inappropriate
