"I'd recommend that one flies in earlier in the day to Boston the day before and stay with a student host, so one can get as much contact with the current students as possible. They are an amazing bunch! My first interviewer was an adcom member and met me at his office in the main building of the school. My second interviewer was in Brigham's which was just acrossed the street from Harvard. I hence had no problem getting from place to place." Report Response
