How did you prepare for the interview?

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

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!!

What are your general comments?

Very good experience. Just bitterly cold.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
