✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read the questions posted by other students on SDN and then made a list of them. Every question I was asked I had seen before on SDN.

What impressed you positively?

The thoroughness of info provided about the school (board data, schedule of curriculum for four years, etc.) Everything was very professional.

What impressed you negatively?

That exams are not well spaced out. Some students I saw seemed really stressed.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Don't stress about the interview so much and instead concern yourself with questions you have about the school.

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.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
