How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read everything I could about school, practiced answers to expected questions

What impressed you positively?

Flexibility within curriculum, esteem for students by faculty, interviewers were candid and caring, the woman in charge of student affairs was great.

What impressed you negatively?

The high cost of attendance. "Spend like a student now so you can live like a doctor later" is the mantra of financial aid office. Not cool.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Everything goes very smoothly -- relax.

What are your general comments?

I was neutral about Tufts going in to the day. At the end, I really liked the place. The only thing negative is the excessive cost. Burying med students in debt will only drive everyone to high-ticket specialties. Just my opinion...
