💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why Medicine?

What was the most interesting question?

Would I consider psychiatry as a specialty? Why or why not?

How did you prepare for the interview?

This website, talking to past and present students, and the tufts web site.

What was the most difficult question?

Nothing.

What impressed you positively?

The quality of education this school offers, the facilities, and the students. One med student sat with me for over 2 hours to discuss any questions I had. I was told that some students even post up their notes on the web for everyone. That's what I call team work!! The new dean is so hilarious and charismatic.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost. Living expenses in Boston are ridiculus. But you get what you pay for. The long long presentation with barely any bathroom breaks. The randomization of interviews. A little chaotic and disorganized but with good intentions so as to make all the interviews fair.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How cold it was going to be. It snowed!!
