How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, website, went over AMCAS, talked to students beforehand.

What impressed you positively?

The students are so happy. It is a very noncompetitive environment. The Dean of Admissions is the most friendly and open guy. There is a presentation from the woman who handles student affairs and the office of diversity and she gives an incredible presentation regarding our responsibilities as doctors to learn about other cultures and treat our patients as whole people.

What impressed you negatively?

I would have liked to see the anatomy lab. Its in the basement and they didn't show us. Other than that, the day was incredibly thorough.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Tufts is amazing!

What are your general comments?

The day was very long, but worth the time. We got there at 945 and met with the dean, had a very thorough financial aide presentation, tours and interviews in the afternoon. It was a great experience and I really hope I go to Tufts.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
