I hope you're sending him with a list of questions 😉
Did anyone get confirmation after RSVPing? I didn't get anything. Oh well. I'll be showing up either way.

This may seem random, but my husband and I are resident tutors in an undergrad dorm at MIT. We have students' friends stay over in one of our dorm lounges pretty often. If anybody isn't set up with a student host and needs a place to stay for second look, pm me. Of course, you'll have to behave yourself and submit to a criminal background check before I admit you into my undergrads' home, but I figure you're all used to that if you've gotten in to med school. How sketchy can you be?

how was revisit today? I couldn't make it due ot last minute conflict. what kinda general stats/curriculum stuff did they provide that they didn't tell us before?
also, anyone know the summer start date? (i understand they are starting earlier in August rather than Sept).
Thanks folks!

Start date is 8/13.
The day yesterday was actually kind of a drag, in my opinion. Lots of sitting and being talked at with no really new info. Night thing was at Lir and was okay. Seemed like a lot of the people I talked to were undecided about BU still.

Just wanted to let you know I am withdrawing from BU. It was a hard decision b/c BU is a great place and I love the city hospital, but the financial assistance was nil and it really isn't a viable option for me. Best of luck to you all!!
trust me, even the BU scholarships are overrated- though I got one, the value is literally peanuts (read: not enough to even pay fees and health insurance). guess everyone just accepts that BU fin aid is 99.9% loans loans loans.
but i'm still coming! 🙂

The rumor is that the first couple weeks are focused on some of the public health classes and the epidemiology as well as an intro into integrated problems. But they wanted us to get to know each other a little bit better so that the White Coat ceremony means more too.
They also said at the open house that this time will also be used to familiarize us with the local community health centers that BU works with and help us get to know the cultures we will be working with.
But I'm still not entirely sure what else we will be doing - anyone else hear anything?
Oh! I dropped my deposit off today too!

That's something new! For the past 4 years, we always had white coat ceremony on the last day of the orientation week. Make sure you stay around for the good food after the ceremony!! BTW, I am a MS4, feel free to ask me if you have question about BU...
my deposit is in! fate is sealed (well effectively).
strange they havent posted any upcoming semester schedules up yet (sigh). anyone know any other details besides the 8/13 start date?

Declined my other offers and turned in my deposit as well. I'm totally in for the the 2007 incoming class!
Hey Mizilan- we meet again (we met on the HMS thread a few months back). looks like BU for both of us. see ya in a few months man!
Best of luck to y'all at BU. I'm heading to UAB myself. It was a really tough decision. Had to get out of Boston, but I hope you all love it here! Thanks for the good times!

Mine hasn't been cashed yet, but I got an email that it was received.
has anyone's check actually been posted to their respective banks yet? I know I'm being paranoid, but I turned my check in a while ago and it still has not been posted to my account. I got the confirmation email though, so maybe I'm being a little weird. If so, sorry. Thanks!
I feel the same way...a little paranoid. It's been almost a month since i turned it in...they still havent cashed it yet. But i did get the email confirmation of them getting it.

I haven't heard anything after sent in the deposit in March (besides the confirm email). I am traveling right now and won't be back till July so just wondering if there's anything come in the mail that I haven't seen yet?? By the way, I will live in Harrison Court the first year, anyone there too???
no additional info in the mail yet, although the admissions office says they'll be sending more info soon. however, they have emailed us allowing us to activate our BU.EDU email accounts and access other BU online resources.
hey folks, i live in Boston, and I received a packet of stuff from BUSM yesterday in the mail. apparently we get a free steth (and can even pick our color of the tubing!). other misc stuff enclosed too that we have to return by July 13th
They give a URL of http://www.bumc.bu.edu/busm/osa/class-of-2011, however, it doesnt seem to be working.

Yea. Isn't that awesome?! We get a free Litt Cards III stethoscope, WA otoscope, pressure cuff, and some other tools. 😀😀 So make sure you don't buy one.
