What are your general comments?
Group of fifteen, no breakfast (eat before), I had a four-year student do my interview by himself, others had a faculty member plus a student-in-training. Everything we did seemed very informative and productive. They tell you straight up that Tufts is hard and stressful so there are no suprises in school, but the graduating students seemed very confident about their training.
