Members don't see this ad.

Same. I've been complete since late July.

It really bums me out because they were my top choice.

 

[poeticmed12]

I was complete 7/31 and I just received an interview invite yesterday 9/23

 

[fsjune2009]

does anyone know if Tufts curriculum is organ or system-based

 

[Sammich117]

That's somewhat hopeful.

I wish man, I wish.

I feel like this Friday will be a fateful day. I don't know if it will be positive or negative, but based on timing I should be getting some news from them soon.

I have that same feeling

 

[KTNY]

Seems like the Friday theory might be off since people are apparently getting them on random days of the week

Wondering if an OOS, 4.0/31R (8/10/13) applicant would have a chance here....... I have almost 2yrs experience working as a nurse aid at a hospital, psyc and genetics research experience, EC's... any advice? I've already applied to Boston, haven't heard anything yet cause I finished my secondary last week.

I'd say solid chance. What breakdown was your MCAT? What did you get the 8 in? What was your undergraduate major and did you go to a solid undergrad institution? Won't hurt to apply!

I have very similar stats and experiences and had an interview. However, I applied very early in the cycle. I still think you should apply.

 

[PlayHockey247]

Hi guys,

I'm hoping someone might know how Tufts communicates the final decision post-interview. Phone/e-mail/mail...?

Thanks

 

[Sammich117]

Has Tufts actually rejected anyone yet?

 

[BlueElmo]

I don't think so.

 

[Sammich117]

I don't think so.

I'm going to go ahead and count myself out of the game on this one.

 

[BlueElmo]

I'm going to go ahead and count myself out of the game on this one.

Why? It's still early.

 

[mcdoctorrunning]

Tufts has been incredibly silent for me as well. I have been complete since the beginning of Sept. Has anyone been successful calling the admissions office and inquiring about their status?
How is their turn around time?

Just from looking at this thread, it looks like interview invites came on 9/4 and 9/18... both are Fridays, 2 weeks apart, which would put the next interview invite date at.. tomorrow! If the theory holds.

Nicely done.👍

I don't like Fridays anymore...all my rejections came on Fridays 😡 and my only interview invite came on Monday 😀

 

[JokerMD]

i got my interview invite on 9/4, which is a friday...i think you're on to something 👍

 

[MegaProjectile]

Good luck to everyone expecting some news today!

 

[Question123]

What "date of completes" would be expected to be reviewed? I completed mid-September?

 

[BlueElmo]

I'm not sure, but you probably got a while then.

Hi,

I have an interview (BU) scheduled for 10/16 and since I live on the West Coast I'd like to avoid multiple cross-country trips.

My question is for all those who have recently scheduled interviews - are there October dates still available? If there aren't I won't bother "updating" Tufts about my upcoming trip...

Thanks!

When I scheduled my interview 2 weeks ago, the first available dates were in early November.

nevermind, just checked the schedule - there is an open slot on oct 20

 

[Sammich117]

Has anyone actually gotten any decisions today, or is our logic flawed in thinking today was a judgment day? 🙂

 

[partinerns]

I wonder if the adcom is working on final decisions for students who have already interviewed, and don't have time to review people who have completed secondaries? Maybe that's why there have been no new invites issued for 2 weeks?.

i think we should all quit premed and become speculators instead
lol

 

[BlueElmo]

I got nothing. When you expect something too much, you don't end up getting it.

hi everyone, I have an interview soon and I got hotel at 240 Mt. Vermount street, what is the best way to get to 145 Harisson street? when I look at the trip planner website it just says that walk 16 minutes till you get there.
Does that work?

Hey Parameter - did you mean Mt. Vernon Street? If so, you can just hop on the Red Line and take it to South Station and walk about 3 blocks to Tufts.

 

[Sammich117]

Quiet here lately!

 

[BlueElmo]

Quiet here lately!

yeah seriously.

 

[redsquareblack]

Sent an "in the area" email to Tufts, response not encouraging!

Dear Applicant,

Thank you for your update message and for your interest in Tufts University School of Medicine.

TUSM Admissions

Yikes. Looks like I'm not getting anywhere near this school.

Lol. It's an automated response. I got that same message when I sent email an updating my LOR.

 

[redsquareblack]

Well, that's a relief, I suppose. Part of me thought it was automated, but another part of me thought, "Uh-oh."

Yea. It's hard to read Tufts sometimes. I got an invite out of the blue.

 

[robrobbberts]

So how have the interviews been coming along? Have they been intense, or are they pretty relaxed?

 

[jla314]

very relaxed. their goal is for conversational type interviews, typically around 30 minutes each

 

[skeptic29]

What exactly is a silent rejection? People talk about it all the time. I'm not sure I quite understand.
