Given that BU is considered 'low-yield'... do you guys think it's a bit late to apply here?

If you have high stats, in-state or great mission fit/ECs I say go for it. If not, it might be wiser to put your effort/money towards other schools.

II just now, submitted 06/28. Does anyone know if BUSM is rolling in terms of decisions?

this is surprising because I've seen in previous threads that they went in strict numerical order. Good surprise to see them pick up some earlier applicants too.

Any IS people get IIs from boston uni yet?

yeah thought i was out of the running for sure! And I'm pretty sure i made a grammatical error somewhere in the 2ndry essay too lol

I have interviews from quite a few "low yield" schools, even schools which are considered THE low yield. & I have other interviews from state schools for which I have no ties. Imagine if I listened to all the nay-sayers.
I also just submitted my secondary to BostonU last night. So let's hope its not too late. I honestly think if your stats fit or are better and you are genuinely interested in the school it may come across to the committee and they'll be interested in you. Just my 2 cents.

For those who have II, do you guys know how to prepare for the BUSM Overview Session with Dr. Kristen Goodell, or if we have to prepare at all?

 

[Apartment-Alarming]

II today OOS, submitted 7/25 Lizzy M 76!

 

[23andMD]

No, you don't need to prepare. I participated in the session yesterday, and it was just an opportunity for applicants to get to know BUSM better and ask questions. I would just enjoy it!

Is it okay to dress a bit more on the casual side for it, or would you recommend business casual?

you can dress how ever you want. It's very informal

To those who've had interviews, were you told who your interviewer was beforehand? If yes, where on the site did it show that?

 

[unbewilderedelephant]

They email you the zoom link with your interviewer like 2 days in advance.

 

[sdoh_junkie]

A little concerned… complete 7/22 and no word. Hoping it’s a good thing!

 

[Vaguspremed]

Thank you for the info! I have an interview on Wednesday but still haven't received the link so I'm a bit worried. I guess I'll wait until tomorrow before contacting them

I was complete 7/13 and also no word

 

[enneagram7w8]

I was complete 7/13 and also no word

Also complete 7/13 and no word :/

 

[bighoss]

Also complete 7/13 and no word :/

I don’t think it’s a bad thing if they’ve rejected people complete later than you. It either means they’re considering you or haven’t looked at your app yet

 

[enneagram7w8]

Yeah it really makes me wonder if they’ve seen it or not. I didn’t know if they reviewed an app multiple times in consideration for an interview or not!

 

[Scribe2MD2018]

Also complete 7/13 and no word :/

Complete 7/3 and silence 😅

 

[bincx1602]

Complete 7/3 and silence

[TheKid7Yessir]

It looks like it was only a small R wave

 

[Badabingmd]

I have an interview tomorrow but still haven’t received the zoom link or my interviewer name. Is that normal?

 

[Badabingmd]

Thank you for the info! I have an interview on Wednesday but still haven't received the link so I'm a bit worried. I guess I'll wait until tomorrow before contacting them

Did you get the link? Or email them?

 

[Vaguspremed]

Did you get the link? Or email them?

I got it! Received it~23.5 hours before the interview time.

Do they tell you who your interviewer is?

 

[Vaguspremed]

Do they tell you who your interviewer is?

Yes! The email mentions their name.

 

[Badabingmd]

If you interview earlier does it impact your chances at BUMC?

Current M1 at BUSM just wanted to pop in and answer some questions I saw:
1. From my experience, it seems BUSM does go in order with how applications come in, but this rule mostly applies to order of R's. Also want to add that hearing nothing is usually a good thing. For example, if others got an R who applied after you, and you haven't heard back, that usually means you are still being considered.
2. Interview info comes via email anywhere from 18-24 hours before your interview time. If you don't hear anything, just email admissions they will help out
3. BU is NOT rolling admissions. We accept in 2 batches - the first being in December and the second in March. Very few A's go out in December though so don't lose hope!

I won't check this very often but feel free to ask any more questions and I can get back whenever I am on SDN.
