How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN and info. Tufts sent me

What impressed you positively?

the school's reputation, location, students, facilities, and faculty

What impressed you negatively?

the large class size (as compared to other schools)...but you already know this before your interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing...just make sure you have all of your prereq courses completed and that you have sent the school verified completion of those courses...otherwise it is a waste of time, money, and effort to attend the interview.

What are your general comments?

Started with an introduction, discussion of financial aid, tour of the school, a quick intro of another faculty member, lunch, talked with students, and had interviews. Good experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
