What are your general comments?
Tufts tries very hard to provide a comprehensive perspective and a warm atmosphere - and they succeeded. Very positive experience overall, and I liked the school way more than I'd expected.
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
Contacted current students (who were high school/college friends). Read up on website and SDN.
What impressed you positively?
Everything - administration was helpful and warm (Dean, Director, etc), students were happy, interviewers were easy to talk to, facilities are brand new and impressive.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing, really.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
There's a laptop on the table between you and the interviewer. I was half-expecting my interviewer to start typing midsentence, which would've been unnerving. Fortunately, they just use it to type up interview notes after you leave.
