How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I made a list of potential questions and brainstormed answers.

What impressed you positively?

The longitudinal clerkships, the friendliness of the administration, the hospitals available for clinical rotations during Year 3

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing Tufts-related gave me a bad impression. The resident who gave our tour however was not affiliated with Tufts and I did not feel that he was a very professional individual. I had to overlook that part of my day, but that wasn't a big deal. Tufts has a great program.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To think of more questions for my interviewers. All of mine were answered during the orientation session and I was left with none.
