How did you prepare for the interview?

Talked to some doctors currently at Tufts Medical Center, review App., &quot;The Medical School Interview&quot; by Jeremiah Fleenor., interview feedback on SDN, talked to a friend enrolled there (MS1).

What impressed you positively?

A lot of Tufts facilities are BRAND NEW! My interview group was the first to use the the newly renovated building for interviews. Also a brand new clinical skills lab - with exam rooms and classrooms. Everything looks amazing. The school and hospital look impressive. The tour was also very informative - even meet an anatomy professor and some MS1 students doing some exam review on the cadavers in the anatomy lab. Everyone was very welcoming...when all the interviewees were waiting in the library before the start a med student approached us and offered to answer any questions. She talked to us for about a half hour about the school and what it is like. All the students love being there for sure. Also, the match list for the MS4 students was very impressive- a lot going to some of the best programs in the country.

What impressed you negatively?

The only qualm I have is the price of tuition and living expenses of living in boston...but I think it will all be worth it in the end.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How welcoming everyone is from the dean to the medical students who eat lunch with the interviewees are. I ended up being very relaxed.

What are your general comments?

My first interview went very well and went over time so I had zero time to regroup after and went straight into the second one. The second one went very fast and I felt like I barely did any talking! The ER doctor interviewing me just talked about what it was like to do what he did and some ways the E.D. deals with huge volumes of patients. It was pretty funny - he did at least 70% of the talking!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
