What impressed you positively?

The interviewers had taken the time to read my application and has some specific questions for me instead of the generic.

What impressed you negatively?

I was concerned that one of my interviewers was somewhat distracted and wasn't paying much attention to my responses (or asking many questions for that matter), however they were very pleasant/affable.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interviews were after the tour which was after lunch. I was really excited to be there but as someone else said, by the end of the day I was pretty worn down.

What are your general comments?

I really love Tufts and am very excited about their new Maine Track Program. The students and faculty are warm and welcoming, the facilities are amazing and they place a lot of emphasis on clinical medicine from beginning. They also seem to work very hard to personalize each student's medical education through &quot;selectives&quot; from the first year so that you start getting a feel for different areas of the profession early. I felt that my Maine interviews went somewhat better than my Tufts ones but perhaps I was just less stressed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
