Does tufts silent R?

From what I heard no. But they don't start sending out pre-II R's til December.

 

[medimed2]

Anyone know when the next committee meeting is/ calls going out??

 

[labscience]

Would those of you that interviewed already say that the interviews were more casual or more intense?

My faculty interview was very conversational/casual, but I also interviewed with an MS4 who stuck more closely to the list of questions. Both were very nice and wanted you to be relaxed, though!

Anyone know when the next committee meeting is/ calls going out??

They told us the next committee meeting was early next week 😱

 

[medimed2]

I wonder if they're meeting twice before Christmas/ New years then? What do you guys think?

[Medicine Mamba]

What % of IIs do you guys think Tufts has sent out?

That R wave is coming soon.... usually first or second week of December 😱

Boston as well

 

[helloppl]

I wonder what percentage of Tufts applicants use SDN

 

[drlannister]

Accepted to Boston! At interview they mentioned 1/4 to 3/4 need-based scholarships. Anyone here that can comment on how common these are?? The pricy tuition is my only concern for Tufts 🙁

 

[medimed2]

Congrats guys. When did you guys get the call? All this early afternoon? Wonder if more going out tomorrow

 

[PuppyLover77]

Accepted to Boston! Received the call at 2:30pm! Interviewed on 11/20

 

[drlannister]

Congrats guys. When did you guys get the call? All this early afternoon? Wonder if more going out tomorrow

I interviewed last week!

 

[FutureDoctor06]

So,uh, does this school even send interviews???

But seriously... Tufts pls...
Where are they at with interviews?

 

[labscience]

I was also accepted to Boston yesterday at about 4pm!! My first acceptance! It took me about this long to get off the phone with all my relatives 😛

 

[rob1233]

But seriously... Tufts pls...
Where are they at with interviews?

In terms of availability, there are two dates in January, four dates in February, and one date in March.

 

[medimed2]

I also interviewed 11/20. Freaking out rn seeing that people are getting acceptance calls!

The past few times calls have been made on separate days...so one still could be coming. It seems like the calls end after the wave of deferred decision emails are sent out.

 

[B3B]

Deferred today via email. Interviewed 11/15

 

[Who.TF.is.LizzyM.]

Accepted yesterday! Interviewed 11/27!

 

[Msimas]

I just got a hard rejection by email

Sorry 🙁
Pre or post II?

 

[medimed2]

the uncertainty around deferred decision is crazy. both what it means and the time frame for a decision. I wonder if most are left for the spring? Or they just dish out those decisions all over the place?

 

[Freddywap]

Does anyone know if tufts is receptive for ITA emails?

 

[BANANAGIRL1058]

I was accepted to the MD/MPH program today and now I have to choose between MD only and MD/MPH in two weeks. Any current students have any advice or know anything about the dual degree program? I love public health but I'm not sure if the extra $$ and time are worth it.

 

[700458]

Ugh in suspense for that early December pre-II R wave...

 

[M&L]

Ugh in suspense for that early December pre-II R wave...

I hear you ... I still haven’t heard from 20 schools .... that’s gonna be a lot of rejections

 

[Msimas]

Ugh in suspense for that early December pre-II R wave...

I’m ready, give me your worst

 

[nekoatsume]

Accepted MD/MPH yesterday! Gave up my MD spot so hopefully it goes to one of y'all 🙂

 

[mysonadoctor]

Any news if they are still inviting you for interviews? One of my first choices and havent heard anything.

 

[rob1233]

Based on the portal, there are currently 8 interview days with open slot/s. I also assume people are gonna cancel between now and March (which is when their interview season ends), so I'm sure they still have some IIs to send out. But probably not much tbh

 

[nymd22]

Yep! Interview season goes until March.

 

[mysonadoctor]

Yep! Interview season goes until March.

Thank you!

 

[Boros]

How long does the actual interview run till?

 

[pm_me_fortnite_highlights]

Is Tufts receptive to ITA emails? Anyone have any success with this?

 

[hippocratess]

How long does the actual interview run till?

We were able to leave at around 4:15 (9:40 start).

 

[hippocratess]

Does anyone who interviewed know where I should send/upload my thank yous?
