7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

MMI practice scenarios. Medical ethics research. Atul Gawande's books.

What impressed you positively?

I interviewed for the Maine Track, and I felt like all of the current students I met were so genuinely passionate and extremely happy about the program. The locations available for the Maine Track cover the whole state and allow ample opportunities for extensive hands-on experiences in the clinical years since so few medical students are in the state of Maine.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost of the school is quite high, especially considering Tufts isn't a top 25 medical school.
