"The students, my interviewer - tough, but incredibly intelligent and engaging, the advisoral system, the breakfast/lunch combo, the Dean." Report Response
"The students - some just seemed a bit too fratty, and a bit vapid. Others were great. The facilities, the school's location within Boston, the construction, the uselessness of the informational sessions going on throughout the day. the price!" Report Response
"Stayed with a friend who is a BU MS2 the night before, so she knew exactly where to drop me off - otherwise I would have been a bit lost. Arrived at about 7:45, just in time to grab some coffee and scarf down a yummy muffin. The Dean gave an hour-long talk about the history of BU med, and an overview of the curriculum. He's clearly a very GREAT teacher and dynamic (if not eccentric) person, but speaking to a bunch of people -- who are sitting in the dark -- at 8 am -- is just inviting them to nod off! I had my interview at 9:15 (other applicants were scheduled for 10:15 or 11:15) and it lasted until about 10:25 (oops). My interviewer was intelligent and thorough, and I really felt like I got to talk a lot about my experiences - and that by the end of our conversation she knew me as a person. Post-interview there were a couple of useless informational sessions (pretty disorganized) and then lunch - which was good. I had to bail after lunch (to catch a flight), so my friend (BU MS2) gave me a tour of the facilities. All in all, a really nice, pleasant, relatively stress-free day." Report Response
