Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The dean of the MD/MBA program as well as other faculty were on hand to answer questions. Also, they are extremely responsive to student feedback, which was a large part of their recent revisions to the interview process.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The morning presentations are disjointed and are pretty much the only thing that add to the stress level... especially finding out that 'Tufts is pretty expensive' actually means '$325,000 over four years for the MD/MBA program.'

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they had completely revised the interview process, it's very well organised and you get the times of your interviews as well as who will be interviewing you in the morning.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Great experience, the school takes student feedback very seriously and has made huge improvements in the interview process as well as the decision turn-around time. They send out decisions every month now instead of just three times a year as they did in the past. The administration is totally accessible and my interviewers were very laid back and conversational. As a side note of warning... if you review the interview feedback, some questions seem very unconventional and even difficult... these all come from one of the interviewers, so [edited for privacy]... review your answers for the philosophical/ethical questions.
