What impressed you positively?

The students really love the school and couldn't say enough good things about it.

What impressed you negatively?

Tuition is extremely high and the fact that Tufts interviews only once a week so the group is so large.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Don't drive to Boston, take public transportation if you can.

What are your general comments?

The info sessions are long but helpful and by the end of the day it's your own fault if you have any questions left about the school. My overall impression of Tufts was positive even though I was caught completely off guard by my second interviewer. My first had been entirely conversational and other students had said the same about their interviews. This interviewer rapidly shot out unexpected questions and cut me off before I was finished answering. It was an extremely long 30 minutes.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
