i've always heard great things about tufts and was first impressed with the great info they sent along with my interview invite. the actual interview day impressed me even more! everyone was really friendly and seemed to really have personality. it felt as though tufts was really everyone's top choice and they were really excited to be there. i loved the school and thought it had the perfect balance between clinical exposure and strong didactics.
