What impressed you positively?

Quality of the facilities, friendliness of students and faculty.

What impressed you negatively?

Cost.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It was going to rain on interview day. Bring an umbrella. Also, the Tufts medical center entrance is NOT the dental school entrance. The Entrance to the dental school is on the corner of Kneeland and Washington FACING KNEELAND ST.

What are your general comments?

The school looks great and is of very high quality. The students look happy and are more than willing to help newcomers. Aside from the cost, I don't think anyone would regret attending Tufts. Also, the doubletree hotel is literally across the street from the school! You can get an interview discount and you wont have to worry about travel the morning of the interview. This is a huge help.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Allow more time for lunch.
