What are your general comments?

"The dean talked to us for an hour. The 25 or so applicants were split into 9:15, 10:15 and 11:15 interview slots. While we were not interviewing we went to classes, talked to profs that dropped in, and chatted amongst ourselves. 11:45 we had lunch (I pretty much missed it because I had an 11:15 interview slot). Then we toured with a fourth year for about an hour. The dean then wraps it up and we are out of there around 2:30. BU did a very nice job organizing the day. I learned what I felt I needed to about the school. Everyone was friendly and very positive about the school." Report Response
