How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interview with professors at undergraduate university, read voluminous information mailed by Tufts, tried to relax.

What impressed you positively?

The entire visit was well planned and scheduled to the last detail. The tour was extensive, and they gave presentations in order to inform us about everything they could about their school and programs. I felt that they really cared that we were fully informed so that we could compare them to the other schools to which we are applying. They had unique interest in each individual's questions while we (11 interviewees) were there. Their facilities are top notch, their professors and assistants are accessible, the students seemed to really love the school.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I didn't have a good idea of what kinds of questions would be good to ask to gain more information about the school. However, while I was there, the Dean gave us a presentation on different things to ask and to look for while we were visiting the other dental schools we were applying to so that we could make the best decision. It was very informative.

What are your general comments?

My interview was completely relaxed and was conducted by a fourth year dental student. He made me feel confortable immediately, and that gave me confidence. The interview was surprisingly short, and he had not read my entire application before the interview, but I believe the impression I left was a positive one.
