What are your general comments?

I love this school, but the interview day didn't really do it justice. I think I would be unimpressed if this was my first impression of Tufts.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

For the Maine Track interview, I feel the day should have been more catered to the specifics of the Maine Track. It wasn't made clear what opportunities were available for Maine students vs Boston students.
