SDN, skimmed Tufts DMD Program Information book, went over app again

What impressed you positively?

the Dean of Admission's presentation (I felt like he laid everything about the school on the table - it was very informative, not just about tufts but about the dental field as a whole), research opportunities, vertical expansion = very update facilities

What impressed you negatively?

vertical expansion = more students

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
