Does Tufts have student housing?

Yea, they do:

Student Hosting Program
A number of current TUSM students have volunteered to host applicants during their visit to our school. Please contact Emily Condon, Associate Director of Admissions, at [email protected] to receive further information regarding Student Hosts.

nah it ain't good. give up ur interview before it's too late!

 

[cardinal2010]

Accepted! got the call around 9:00 pacific time, interviewed on 10/06

So excited. First acceptance and I loved this school.

 

[himself]

lol no I wont dont that. I really dont care which school i go to whether its a good school or not. I was just wondering why everyone was begging for an interview invite like its the greatest school in the world. The school average mcat is a 31.6. Pretty low to be a great school.

Isn't the median 35 though? Slash when did test scores demonstrate how good a school was or whether or not you'd want to go there. I'm picking more on culture, location, people and opportunities than name, rank, or scores.

I dont know about that. I can't find it anywhere in their site. But it seems the standards for Tufts are pretty low- average GPA of 3.65 and MCAT 31.6. I just assumed that in order for a school to be good they should have good students.

Pretty sure they have good students. I wouldn't worry about that...

And I think they also have a number of tie-ins with other schools (Northeastern, Brandeis that I know of) for early admission into the med school. Programs like that can sometimes depress the scores a bit, I feel

You're getting really picky about numbers. In any case, they're a good school that's really competitive to get into. If you don't want the spot, let someone else get an interview that wants it.

Does Tuft update the status page? Mine still says "Application complete" since July or August. If my file is under the review, will the status change change to "Under review" or still say "Application complete"?

I just got my admission decision yesterday and my status online is still 'Application Complete'. It's never changed to 'Under Review' or anything like that.
