How did you prepare for the interview?

read over my essay, thought about questions I might be asked, read feedback on this site.

What impressed you positively?

EVERYTHING! The faculty and staff seem so involved and so interested in their students (something I haven't seen at many other medical schools). Also, the whole day was so organized and the facilities were very nice. I was very impressed by the students who we met and I thought that everyone who gave presentations were so informative and friendly. The curriculum seems perfect, including the selectives. just an overall fantastic experience...

What impressed you negatively?

the tuition is definitely high, like at all private medical schools. But I was impressed that they brought it up during the "getting to know Tufts" segment of the interview. It's clear that they want to prepare their prospective students to think about financing their medical education which I think is a good thing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing, really...

What are your general comments?

the best interview experience I have had. very informative, everyone was friendly, they kept us fed :), the interviews were very conversational and non-threatening, everything ran very smoothly, I learned so much about the school and it is definitely a place I would love to become a doctor!
