What impressed you positively?

Tufts put together a great day, got me excited about their school.

What impressed you negatively?

LOCATION! Middle of nowhere, campus is small and secluded. Students all said that their least favorite part of Tufts is that it's a commuter school

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Everyone says not to stress out about Tufts, but I did anyways. My stomach was in knots all week before and the morning of the interview, but as soon as I got into the room with my interviewers, all my nerves went away. Don't stress about this interview!!!

What are your general comments?

Fun day overall!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I wish they would call or email us about acceptances rather than snail mail!!!
