I agree. An interview can totally change your perspective on a school. I had a interviewer who was looking at me like a statue throughout the whole interview. It was kind of irking me since I could not get a read on him. It threw me off my game plan. I started liking the school at the beginning but after the interview and the tour, my attitude about the school soon changed to pure dislike
Did any Maine Track interviewers hear back from the admissions committee yet? It appears that normal Tufts interviewers heard they were either accepted/wait listed. I'll take the lack of response as a hopeful maybe from Tufts haha.

Don't give up hope, apparently a lot of kids who are interviewed get off the waiting list and are accepted. I had a friend who interviewed who got off the waiting list at Tufts. Granted it was later April, but it still was better than nothing.
A previous posting on this thread said around 2/3rds of kids who are interviewed are eventually accepted. You interviewed this early so I'd say you still have a solid chance.
got the acceptance call from Dean Neumeyer yesterday!! greatest day of my life. no matter what happens from this point on I know that im gonna become a doctor one day now, cant believe it! to anyone feeling defeated keep ur head up n b patient, ur time is coming this process is just crazy :-/

Congrats, Sparkle. I had assumed invites had tried up for the time being.
Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, did you get an email? Or was the invite on the status page?
Congrats! I can't believe they are up to Feb now.
I finally heard back from Tufts after being complete on 8/24. (I'm IS) The first available date was in February! 😱 Still, I'm really happy. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting!
PS its really weird that this came on a Monday. I though Friday notifications was Tufts MO.

Edit: Yeah, Maine's got an "e". What of it?

Your question, while self-evident to you, is not to me.
Interesting. When I clicked it before, it just took me to the search results, and not the animation.
Sorry, folks. Don't mind the tool.
Oh,
I was just assuming that the last invites are getting near since people are being invited for Feburary slots, and March seems like the month when most schools will make final decision on acceptances.

Gotcha
The last interview slots were in april. Plus I gave up my interview invite so hopefully one you will get it!
Dibs!!!
😛
Ok, but if I see you leave it alone without calling fives, it's all mine...
same. win some/lose some
I don't know guys, I think it's still fairly early in the process to lose hope. I mean, how can we be sure that the school is done inviting people for interviews in early November? The interview season stretches until March or even April in some cases.

agree with this. I think there are still more interviews to come--it doesn't even seem like there has been a big november invite yet and if there are still interview dates in feb/mar and possibly even april (according to poster above) we may have yet to hear from them.
That's my hope anyway.

is it worth it at this point to send a letter of interest?
Tufts seems AMAZING and I feel its too late for an invite 🙁

It's definitely not too late for an interview invite. You might as well send a letter of interest; it can't hurt!
How long after you got the email saying, "Make sure your contact information is updated on our secondary application" did you receive the phone call from Dr. Neumeyer?
Received the e-mail that asked me to review contact information today. I am sooo nervous right now. I really hope that I get accepted to Tufts. I think we will hear something by the end of this month? The lady that interviewed me told me that they would have a meeting by the end of the month. Really surprised that I got the "update contact info" e-mail this early. I guess they decide to meet before Thanksgiving.
