How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed past interview questions from SDN, reviewed my AADSAS app

What impressed you positively?

The presentations were extremely informative, the students were all very friendly and helpful, and the new floors are absolutely beautiful

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, really... Boston's a great place, if you like big cities, and Tufts is a great school

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not all interviewers are as easy as everyone makes them sound! :)

What are your general comments?

Don't stress the interview too much, there's a high chance you'll get accepted afterwards... at the same time, don't underprepare!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It would be nice to have the opportunity to shadow one of the dental students in the clinic for a bit during the interview day.
