What impressed you positively?

Everything was nice, new, and clean that I saw. The sessions were informative in the morning and a fairly well structured day. I really liked the people there like the admissions staff, the students, the applicants, they were all friendly and nice.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost of Tufts. The sessions were informative but LONG! I felt the interview style was a little to impersonal and that I was just one of like 40 in a room. Also, the interview was too short and I did not get to explain everything I wanted to explain in the interview, and at the end of it, I did not get to (or have to) ask questions. Also, one interview lasted like 7 minutes!!!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the day would litterally last until around 5!

What are your general comments?

Information sessions from 10 until 12; lunch from 12 to 12:30. Talk from the Dean until 1. We all hung out and were called in for interviews or tours between 1 and 5.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
