💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Can't remember. General stuff, anyway.
Say you're in a group project with five people, and all five share the same grade. One guy is slacking. What do you do?
Tell us about your research.

What was the most interesting question?

"How will you pay for your education?" This led into "loans and school are two simultaneous stresses - how will you deal?"

What was the most difficult question?

See above. It was asked in a confrontational way that surprised me.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read lots of interview advice from many sources, then looked at Tufts website.

What impressed you positively?

Good facilities, a generally well-rounded school with something for everybody (i.e. they don't emphasize research but all of the resources are there if you want them). The assoc. dean of admissions was a great help.

What impressed you negatively?

It's not in the best part of town, but it's all right.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Tufts is a good school with a lot of resources; it doesn't have anything really above and beyond unique about it, but I certainly wouldn't mind going there (if I don't get into a cheaper state school, that is).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
