Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

5 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

my interview experience was good...the whole random interview thing kinda threw me off...other than that everything was ok. tufts is a great place...if you're willing to spend a quarter million dollars for the next 4 years...with little fin aid...you have been warned...
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

what do you do in college?

What was the most interesting question?

where does imagination come from?

How did you prepare for the interview?

read over amcas...browsed through tufts website...checked old interviewfeedback.com site (which is currently down)

What was the most difficult question?

how important compassion in the role of physicians?

What impressed you positively?

the attitude of the students, faculty, and administration...the students were genuinely happy to be at tufts...the faculty and administration were helpful and made the interview day as low stress as possible

What impressed you negatively?

location...it's in chinatown...not a pretty 'campus'

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that interviews were semi-open file...your 2 interviews are random...the interviewers each pick a file from the pile...browse it over for 5 minutes...conduct a short interview...then pick up another file...you are not pre-assigned to a certain interviewer...it's random...and there is a lot of waiting
