Hi there,
The address is a little misleading. You are supposed to go to the admissions office in the SOM Instructional Building on Albany Street (but it is set back from Albany Street). When I went there, I asked people where the instructional building is, and nobody knew what I was talking about.
I took the green line to the "symphony" stop and walked up Mass ave (about 1/2-3/4 mile walk, a nice walk along a corridor of brownstones, but you can always bus or cab - it from the T-stop. There is info on the BU website as to the bus/subway routes appropriate for your starting point). When you get out of the T, ask to make sure you are going toward the BUMC. When I hit Albany street (it crosses Mass ave) I took a left and walked about 3 minutes, until I saw 85/91 East Concord Street (which crosses Albany street). On the opposite side of the street from 85/91 East Concord Street is the B.U. School of Public Health (715 Albany Street). Go down Concord between these two buildings, and you will see a courtyard and a sign for the SOM building. Inside, there is a security guard who can direct you to the admissions office, where you can pick up your folder of information, etc. This may not be the most direct directions, but they got me there. Perhaps some other interviewees have suggestions for a better route.
Also, there is a campus map on the BU website that you may find helpful... if you get a chance to print one up before your interview day.
Good luck.
