How did you prepare for the interview?
Went through the Tufts website, read through application. They took a LOT of info from the AMCASS app--so know what you wrote well.
What impressed you positively?
The interviewers really knew my file and asked great questions. Also, they physically take you to the interviews as opposed to waiting in a fish bowl for the interviewer to arrive.
What impressed you negatively?
There's a lot of construction beginning in the summer, no big campus to speak of, cost of attending (but it's medical school, right?)
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Not to stress out as much, not to get there before 10:00 (you just wait downstairs...)

Great school--very caring interview, low stress and kind of fun.

No, they were great. Really friendly, professional...fun. John gave a great set of presentations.
