✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my application, senior thesis, prepared answers to "tell me about yourself" and "why Tufts", read website descriptions of dual degree programs, selectives, etc.

What impressed you positively?

Friendliness of interviewers and students, emphasis on keeping the day low stress, integrated campus facilities, very busy hospitals.

What impressed you negatively?

Some applicants said they felt 'grilled' by their interviewers, so I might have just gotten lucky.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was a little thrown by just how low stress the interview was. At the end I asked them if they had any other questions about my application, which I worry may have come off as a criticism of how casual the conversation was. I really like how committed they are to evaluating you at your calmest/best.
