You should look at their website.....www.bu.edu (I think but am not sure if this is their address) and see if there is anyone you could contact directly. I received a CD viewbook from them a couple of years ago but ended up giving the information to a friend of mine. Hope this helps you out!!!

Graduates of BU's MA in biomedical sciences program have a solid track record of being admitted to med school (>85%, IF you believe them). However, as far as I know they aren't exactly generous with accepting their own. The program is also going to set you back a fair bit more than 28k, assuming standard living expenses the two year program runs about 80k (for that price you better at least get an interview!).

I guess if you want to feel pretty confident about getting into med school and money is no object then BU is your program. But, having done quite a bit of research my self, I would say there are plenty of comparable programs out there that are much less expensive and do the job equally well.
