How did you prepare for the interview?

Review my file, SDN Questions, research Tufts School of Medicine, and practice.

What impressed you positively?

The environment fostered by the administration and the organization throughout the entire interview day. The students and faculty were very informative to answer questions on any topic. The food was endless throughout the day, very yummy may I add!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing at all. The free time is used well during the interview day to grab a snack, chat with current students or fellow interviewees. No complaints.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It is SO cliche but I wish I knew not to stress. Out of my total eight interviews this experience was by far the most welcoming. Be yourself and just engage in a conversation with your interviewer. (One thing — one interview could be with a MS4. This was my case, there is no difference in the interview or grading so stay professional)

What are your general comments?

So so happy to have experienced interview day at Tufts. This school is truly one of a kind and I’m so blessed to say I’ll be attending c/o 2024!!!???? Good luck to you all!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Very transparent and responsive. No further suggestions.
