Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

the facilities were very nice, as well as the cultural and finanical aid presentations.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewer suggested (all but flat out accused) that I did not write my essay because it was ''too well written,'' which REALLY upset me.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I actually did not like the structure of the day, although I understood why they use theiir organization. I would prefer interviews in the morning, because repeatedly being told to ''not be nervous'' has the opposite effect on me. I really liked the presentations though.

What are your general comments?

Despite the experiences with my interviewers, I was impressed by Tufts. I really liked the facilities, and the students seemed very content and happy to be there. I REALLY fell in love with Boston; great city, compact, good transportation, I had a great time. My first interviewer tried to frazzle me by asking the same question over and over and then telling me I talked too much (which I found interesting considering it was an interview). The second interviewer didn't seem to enthused with me, despite telling me I was doing ''well''. He then introduced the idea that I did not write my essay, and told me it was ''very well written,'' and repeatedly asked if I had any help writing it. While I kept my cool, this made me very angry......very angry. I worked extremely hard on my personal statement, and having someone tell me I did not write it was a pretty grave offense. I usually interview well at med schools, I'm not sure what happened at Tufts...
