It's not a state school so it shouldn't matter. In fact, I remember one of their big talking points during the interview day was that they accept people from everywhere. So I'd imagine region isn't very high on their priorities list.

Jeez, that is a very early date compared to the II. Are you from Boston or the nearby area?
What was your complete date/stats if you don't mind me asking?
I was looking on the BU secondary app at the interview scheduling portion: does BU have two waves of interviews (before Jan and after Jan-Feb)?
No it's not 2 hours. 45mins-1 hour tops
completion was 7/19. MCAT: 32 GPA: 3.75.
I live in NY. I suspect someone cancels his/her interview last minute, and I am the backup dude.
That was the only date you had to choose from? Or was it assigned to you?
I doubt you were a "back up dude" but I am sure you are right about someone having cancelled their date so that one had opened up
Is Boston U receptive to ITA emails?
Congrats! Complete date if you don't mind me asking?

I think they do MWF, but I don't think any Mondays are left. Mostly W and F left for january.
Can anyone tell me if we will be outside for any part of the day?
Yes, for short durations during the tour while walking between buildings. Possibly up to 3-5 minutes at a time if your interview is across the campus. I would bring a coat for January interviews!

when it's super gross/cold out we usually don't make you guys go outside for the tour 🙂

Super nervous and not sure what to expect!

Interviewed here in October...anxiously awaiting a decision!
Don't be nervous! They make the day really nice for everyone there. They want you there and they use the time to try and see if you like the school and if you fit their mission. Just be yourself, relax, and it'll go fine! Good luck!
Thank you!!
Is the interview style one-on-one?
If you look in the email that has your interview confirmation there's a section called Hosts. There's a link to a google doc with host names, email addresses, and instructions.
Rejected today, Lizzy M 73, complete around the beginning of August.
