hello everyone, this thread is mainly for those who are interviewed or going to be interviewed by boston university.
please lets share our interview experiences and any info that might help us as well as others.
i was interviewed on sep 23, they interview was so cool. we had a breakfast then a tour, then a lecture about the program by doctor nargess.
then we had personal interviews where we were divided into three groups. each was interviewed by one doctor.
they ask simple questions. about your life and your plans, just be your self. they said that we gonna hear from them not earlier than november or it could be december. and they told us that we were the first interviewees.
good luck for everyone.

hi rajkang

WOW!!! thats GREAT ! and it gives me some hope :)
Thanx for the input
 
Hey Guys
My interview experience at Bu was really good. As caninus has already posted, the interview day schedule went the very same way. Interview is very casual and I was asked abt my clinical experience in details. Also some other general questions. I guess being truthful & genuine helps.
Good luck to all who r waiting to be interviewed :luck:

hampton inn or best western. they are near to the school ,so you will not need a taxi cab. also you can use a hotel shuttle from the airport. the interview will probably be done around 3.00 pm.

Hi guys,

I read on the interview feedback thread that it is very difficult to get parking near boston university and its better to take a cab.Is it really so? I was planning to take a rental car.All those who have already attended the interview please advice.
it is realy though to find a parking place there. probably it is imposible. but the city transportation is in exelent condition...
 
hi everyone,

i had my interview on 14th Oct.it was cool.It all went by the clock according to the schedule they had provided us with.There were 10 of us who were interviewed.The tour was very informative.....definitely better than the one at Loma Linda (where we were shown only the dept meant for the IDP students :rolleyes: ).The interview was interactive....and felt more like a discussion. We met a few Advanced standing students who patiently answered our queries. We all felt very relaxed.

We were told that there would be 60 seats for this year....greater chances of getting in then. :luck: Keeping my fingers crossed.

Caninus_molarus: thanx for your moral support!! :) it meant a lot.

hey!
actually its a one on one interview.i think every time they call abt 9-10 students for the interview as a whole and then each one is alloted a prof for interview .so i guess one prof takes abt 2-3 students but its a one on one interview.i hope this answered u'r q'n& did not confuse u.
thanks.
