No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Glanced at SDN, 4 previous interviews at difficult interview schools.

What impressed you positively?

The Office of Student Affairs seems very interested in the success of their students' success.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview Day/Process. The method of calling students for interviews is at random. You sit in a room wasting about 4 hours with 40 other applicants. There were medical students to ask questions of... but there are only so many questions to ask.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You apply for the "extra degrees" after you are accepted to Tufts. ex: MBA, PhD, etc.

What are your general comments?

After dodging homless people and agressive beggers, I made my way upstairs and walked into a room of 40 others to be interviewed. We sat through 2 hours of lectures (while trying to see through the heads in front of me) covering information about the school. Lunch was available, then they spoke a bit more. The majority of us sat in the room for quite a while before our first interview or tour. I was unable to make a flight home that night because the day dragged on longer than neccessary.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
