Congrats to all those who have received an acceptance from BU.Will see you all next year 😉(not that we have much interaction per se).For all those waiting for interviews ,just some information based on facts of last year.
1.Interviews go on for some time untill late feb(but may differ year to year).
2.Part1 score is probably the most imp score BUT the very fact that you have an interview with them means that they consider you a good candidate and from there on the interview is what will get you in.
3.All the faculty that interviews new candidates is very friendly and fair.Be honest and enthusiatic about your interview.
4.Some of my classmates received acceptances a week before school started!!!so dont lose hope.
Dr.Ashayeri happens to be a very friendly person and very helpful too.So dont have any biased opinions before you go for the interview.
About looking for accomodation,its a good idea to start looking sometime in feb,if you are really sure about which areas you might be inetrested in,if not then latest by june.My best advice is to stay as close to the school as possible unless you are moving with family ,then your priorities may differ.Most of those who lived far away eventually have moved closer to the school.There is loads of housing in the area,just make sure you start looking early.
I am sure you may loads of questions as the process begins and I will be happy to help ,but I dont log on much (obviously due to our busy schedules,but will probaby loG on for a couple of days this week) .So those of you with any questions post them here so that it can help others as well.
Good luck and god bless.
