What impressed you positively?

The admissions staff was really nice and knew everything there was to know about Tufts. They were very proud of their school. The new floors are amazing! You will come out of Tufts as a very good general dentist.

What impressed you negatively?

It will be difficult to get into postgraduate programs, but they do give preference to their own grads.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

After reading SDN, I was expecting a very relaxed interview, and mine was pretty stressful, but they can't all be easy! It was nice to have a student and professional point of view when asking questions in the interview. (2 interviewers - 1 faculty member, 1 student)
