TUFTS Pros: I have taken a bunch of the first year classes here so I am very familiar with the professors and still have all the notes which will make the transition to med school easier, being in downtown Boston is better than being in the Bronx even though I prefer Manhattan to Boston, the...

Hey guys! I'm going to be applying for vet school this year and Tufts is my dream school! I was just wondering what your course schedule is like (for all years!) and a description of each course, what they allow you to do, etc... Just want to know what I'm getting myself into :) thanks!

So i have been fortunate enough to have been accepted to Cornell (IS) and Penn and 5 other veterinary schools that i would not consider over Cornell or penn. I have an interview at Tufts next week and would have to take off two days of work to go to the interview. Is it worth it to go to the...

Blessed to have been accepted to both of these schools and loved both when I interviewed. Most of the threads I've seen choose UMass due to cost (understandably) but I was accepted to UMass as an out-of-state applicant (RI resident) so the price difference is now negligible. I would greatly...

Tufts describes their fundamental mission as promoting human health, with an emphasis on leadership and clinical care. They are looking for students with a strong background in the fundamentals of science who also want to apply that work in a clinical setting. The school’s curriculum emphasizes...

Hi! I have a private, freshly renovated studio apartment available for rent near the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in North Grafton. About a 5 minute drive or a 15 minute bike ride from campus. Message me for details.

Born and raised Mainer here. Went to undergrad in PA, but my family is in Maine and I am a Maine resident. I know the intent of the Maine Track program is for it to be a surrogate 'state' medical program for Maine, but is this truly analogous to having in-state status at a state medical school...

I've been fortunate enough to be accepted to several schools and have narrowed it down to Tufts and UCSF (unless I get off UF waitlist). I have a feeling everyone will rush to say UCSF but first let me give some background information. UCSF tuition is approx $90,000 cheaper which is significant...

Hello all, I feel very fortunate to be in a position where I am deciding between these two schools and am looking for any information that the good people of SDN feel is important to consider when making this decision. I liked both schools when visiting and think I would feel comfortable at...

Looking for some outside perspective with regards to my choice between Tufts and UDM. UDM was the first to accept me on the Dec 1 date, with Tufts following suit soon after in January. I just need some thoughts so as to decide on one or the other. I love both schools, and both match my...

This site has been a great source of wisdom during the application and interview process. I am grateful that I have been accepted to a couple of schools and have narrowed it down to NYU and Tufts. Any advice, insight, and your personal opinion would be appreciated. I am a NY native so NYU has...

I haven't been able to find a thread that compares these two recently...I'm moving back to the Boston area for next fall and will spend a year at post bacc. I'm between these two. Tufts is more expensive (double) but does have a linkage to Tufts itself. Harvard is less expensive and at night...

I have been accepted to three good programs that I would be happy to attend: Midwestern-AZ, Loma Linda, and Louisville. I also have an interview scheduled at Tufts on Monday, and I'm not sure if I should spend $500 on a plane ticket when I've already been accepted to other schools. Can anyone...

I'm a sophomore at Tufts and I'm trying to figure out when to take orgo. I took gen chem last year and struggled with it. I ended up with a B in chem 1 and a C+ in chem 2 (although part of the reason was because I somehow idiotically skipped two pages on the final). I'm currently registered for...

Would anyone like to read and give me some feedback on a short diversity essay I wrote for Tuft's secondary application? I might plan on using the same essay for other schools.

Hi Everyone, I am deciding between Tufts and Scripps (today), and I was wondering if any of you had any opinions? I am currently living in NY, not sure if I want to be on the East or West coasts for med school. Tufts: offers a guaranteed interview at its medical school, $11-13K cheaper...

Hey Everyone, Here goes my first post on SDN! Just as a little background about myself: I'm a US resident from the Northeast/New England area and I'm hoping to end up at a medical school in the states. As the title suggests, I'm currently making my decision about where to go for pre-med and I...

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of deciding which post-baccalaureate program to accept at. I have an offer at UMich MEDPREP which has a relationship to its medical school, but not very established. Tuition is about ($30K) - begins 5/3. I was also offered a spot at UPenn (linkages, e etc.) I...

After being accepted, I'm trying to decide between USC and Tufts for occupational therapy graduate school. I'm currently living in Northern CA but I don't mind going out of state. I received a scholarship for Tufts ($15,000) so it is the cheapest option (by a total of $60,000 - USC= $120,000 for...

Hey all, Like many of you, I've received some acceptance letters to post-bacc programs for fall '16. Unlike many of you, I am currently living in Mongolia. I can't visit cities or campuses. Scheduling a phone call is difficult enough as it is. i.e. I'm asking for any and all help / info you're...

Hi all, I'm having trouble choosing between Tufts and Oregon health&Science for the 4year dental program. I'm OOS for both and currently live in the west coast (went to school in New York State). Boston is definitely one of my favorite cities but it is really really expensive!! And either one...

Hey everyone, I know this topic has been discussed before but wanted to get current feedback. I'm very thankful for my acceptances, but at the same time having to make a decision has been driving me crazy. Some background: lived in Florida my whole life, Nova is ~45 mins away from my home...

Hi all, Sorry to be one of those people that post up threads like this, but I really need help making this decision. I got into both Tufts and Western (still waiting to hear back on Columbia), and the deadline for the deposit is coming up. I'm dead stuck on the middle between them, and my pros...

I just got accepted into Case Western and Tufts, and having a hard time deciding between the two. Financial wise: Case and Cleveland are less expensive, but most financial aid is in the form of loans. Tufts and Boston are much more expensive, but from what I understand around 29% of students...
