The facilities are really nice and new.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Location - in a bad area (there are a couple "adult" shops littered around the school). Also, some of the students said "We hate it here, but you're going to hate dental school no matter where you go."

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The interview was only so-so. I had really wanted to go to Tufts for dental school, but the interviw-day was just not that much fun. The peopled seemed nice enough, but I just got the sense that the particular students we talked to weren't having a good time. Also, the interview itself seemed very mundane and sterile. The interviewer had a list of questions and just went through them. It was different from my other interviews because the Tufts interview was very NON-conversational. There were awkward periods of silence and it just seemed as if my interviewer didn't really like my answers or care about what I was saying. My other interviews at other schools were much more laid back, fun, and conversational.
