Get Your Med School Admissions Questions Answered!
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
II this morning as well, complete in early July.

I'm also interested in learning about the Community Service Learning program. Tufts also seems to offer several global health opportunities, can any current students confirm?

Definitely wouldn't mind living in Boston for the next four years!

Hi,
Any chance you might know whether they sent out interview invites for applicants who completed their app end of July? Thanks!

From their website: "We extend open-ended invitations to help applicants consolidate a visit to Tufts with visits to other schools in our area. Unfortunately, we cannot extend an applicant any special or priority treatment due to travel plans."

Have many of the II's been for instate applicants? Or does Tufts discriminate by state residency?
 
How long is the turn-around from the date you submit your primary to the date you received a secondary? I'm late to the game but I just decided to apply to Tufts

Does anyone know if when they ask about repeated coursework they only mean classes we didn't pass and had to retake to get a passing grade? I have a course I took twice but I got an A both times, I only took it twice because our university lets us take it up to 3 times for credit. I don't want to unnecessarily flag down the repeated coursework question but also don't want to seem like I'm lying if they go to my transcript and see the same course number listed twice in two different semesters.

I assume this is some kind of seminar, directed readings, or similar course (since those are usually the type of courses that students can take more than once for credit as they are a different topic each time)? If yes, then just explain is briefly. I don't see how that could hurt you. You can say something along the lines of, "I have not had to retake any courses. I took two semesters of CLASS1234, which has a different focus each semester. In the X semester, CLASS1234 was about ABC; in the Y semester, it was about LMN."

It can be abbreviated further, but you get the gist. I think something like this is totally acceptable.

Having said that, I also don't think you have to answer that section.

You should call the admissions office just to make sure, but I would assume this only really applies if you didn't pass a class and had to retake it.

I was rejected from VCU the day after I submitted the secondary. Probably just an automated rejection because I sat on the secondary for a while. :dead:
