No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read info book they provided, read senior bios, tufts website, and SDN (SDN was huge help)

What impressed you positively?

The faculty, staff, and students were all very happy and friendly. Seems like a great social community designed to really support each other in achieving success and really preparing you to practice right from graduation.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. Vertical expansion project might be something to contend with over the next 2 years, but they are taking every foreseeable measure to make the transitions and temporary conditions as non-impacting on their students and patients as possible.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Read the SDN comments, so was well prepped for the events of the day.

What are your general comments?

Informative for me, relaxed, conversational, actually a very pleasant and positive experience. The faculty and student I met with were just wonderful.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
