What are your general comments?
Tufts is very expensive. For some reason i can't get around that fact, but that's just me. Also, Boston (and espcially Chinatown) is just not my kind of town. It's disorganized and the people are just plain mean. It's not taht bad of a school. It's just not my cup of tea.
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?

What impressed you positively?
The hospital, New England Medical Center, wasn't too bad. Better tahn I thought it would be.
What impressed you negatively?
Several things: I sat in on a class and the lecture was literally overflowing. People were sitting in the aisles and standing at the doorways taking notes. There are just too many people at that school. Also, The school is unreasonably expensive. In fact teh director of admissions was actually encouraging us to go to cheaper schools with great repuations (e.g.- UCSF or UMASS) if accepted (I'm being completely honest that he said this!).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I knew that Tufts was in Chinatown, but I didn't know that the location was gonna be so drab.
