hmm.. interesting. nothing in the mail regarding that for me..
Whole bunch of info in this thread...it's been said before, but thanks again for providing inputs/opinions (cameras, guju, red, etc)! Now I won't seem entirely clueless at orientation =P
no offense to the terriers out there but BU is not one of the best universities in the nation, unless you use the term "best" broadly..
but seriously, re: website, though i too am glad i applied, it's just a very unprofessional way of presenting themselves. it's a cause for concern.
the website thing's been a huuuuuuge turnoff for me with bu. i almost didn't even apply
who's gonna go to the BBQ!!!
orientation is casual dress right?
hmm.. interesting. nothing in the mail regarding that for me..
I'm fairly certain they use these tactics as an attempt to reduce the number of applicants.
I hope you're joking.
Seriously though, how long does it take to make a website? It looks like someone spent 2 hours on Microsoft Word to make that monstrosity. My 10 year old cousin in India who knows Shockwave could do better.
ROFLcopter!!
if they're seriously waiting to update the website just so they don't have to ask questions... well, that kind of makes me want to go elsewhere..
Sorry, I didn't find it quite THAT funny... lol
that's a clover you fool
Whoops...
For the record, I am a short Indian but I'm not bitter... I got into BU's program. You sound like a bitter Korean kid who oddly resembles Donkey Kong.
wow. you're such a racist
Wow...that's...extreme. Almost as extreme as selecting an extreme answer choice on an MCAT Verbal Passage. Someone didn't pay attention in Kaplan Class.
Are these the type of students that go to BU MAMS?? If so, count me out!!
Maybe it's just me, but a program that actually cared about attracting applicants
If you didn't find it funny...why did you "lol"?? Regardless, here's a flower to make you feel better
Oh and by the way, the program doesn't really need to attract applicants, they turn down a huge number every year.
The "lol" was my amusement at how hilarious you thought your previous post was. Anyhow, thank you for the clover - luck is a great thing. Hope you don't need it.
Quite an immature exchange of messages. Try to keep it clean before you are both banned.
you don't know anything about me.

BU is one of the 2 best SMPs.
I know you like cuddly bunnies...that has to count for something!
What did we do to illicit a banning? We've merely expressed our very legitimate concerns about the BU MAM's website.
According to whom?? BU MAMs has shown that it has a successful track record, I'd agree with you. But to say that it is the 2nd best is completely baseless and misleading. Part of the reason why our decisions have been difficult and frustrating is because of the misinformation that is perpetuated in these forums.

elicit you fool
plus slightly cheaper cost of living in Beantown vs. D.C
Plus their long standing reputation. I know this is esp. true at a lot of Fl. schools (my home state schools). its true at other places too.
I'm sure you have noticed bleargh's name in red. It is pretty cool to have it in red though, I won't deny that. I almost miss it
So does this mean you chose MAAN over Tufts?
It is funny to see him on probation. But disregarding his jerk tendencies and facism when it comes to diction/vocabulary/grammar corrections
it's spelled fascism. oh the ironey
that was supposed to be a part of the irony... :sigh:it's spelled irony. oh the irony...
that was supposed to be a part of the irony... :sigh:
there is no saving you.
what do you want to know?
what are the hot spots here in this city? i am from NY! i am just trying to find new friends (classmates) to hang with. But other than that, down to business, is anyone taking or re-taking their MCAT's this summer? I was going to re-take them but I thought about it and decided to wait until next summer. what does everyone think?
oh boy... you're in for a big disappointment re: "hot spots" coming up to boston. haha. different world. prepare for nothing open past 1/2 am. could suggest a few chill beer bars around as that's mainly my thing; sorry, not a big clubber.

you live in denialYeah right. It's OK to make mistakes...
It is funny to see him on probation. But disregarding his jerk tendencies and facism when it comes to diction/vocabulary/grammar corrections, I know him personally. He is one of the smartest people I know even if he is a big meany head.
You define success as the percentage of students who get in an M.D. school. I would further argue that success is also achieved by strengthening the overall academic timbre of the SMP student. They should prepare us to become great doctors. And what (objective) tests do we have to measure that? I don't mean to beleaguer this point, but to brashly say that BU MAMS, Tufts MBS, or Georgetown's SMP is better than the other is completely subjective.
Furthermore, and I don't mean this to be offensive, but I've seen your earlier posts and you were all in favor of Tufts MBS and G-town SMP before. Isn't your opinion slightly biased because you got waitlisted at these programs?
And let me make this clear as well, I believe that BU MAMS is an excellent program which is why I took the time, energy, etc to apply to it....and I did receive an admission contrary to Bleargh's earlier posts. I wish you and your fellow colleagues nothing but success at this program and your medical school endeavors. But I implore you, for the sake of other applicants in the future, to not make any biased opinions unless you provide us with a disclaimer.
came here for college, stayed. boston's a fun town, with some quaint charm to it, but it's just that things happen mostly by day... you'll see it soon enough i guess
