The Maine Track interview day was great! What a wonderful group of applicants! The AdComs made you feel really comfortable, as did the current students. All the interviews were very conversational, definitely no grilling vibes. And the orientation talk at the start of the morning was full of good information about the program! Fingers crossed for an A, I would absolutely LOVE to go here!

Do you have any idea of the post ii acceptance rate for Maine Track?

Is there any benefit to interviewing earlier here? If there is an option to interview in November or January does it really matter which date I chose?

 

[premedD1athlete]

November and January is a huge gap, I’d pick November. Tufts gets a lot of apps and is rolling (some acceptances already sent out)

Thank you! That is what I figured

Have there been any pre-interview rejections here? I have been complete here since the end of August and have not heard anything since.

Yes. A lot.

When do October interviews find out

I interviewed recently and they said the next committee meeting is Oct 30th and they only meet once a month. They said we should hear back around the 2nd week of November (first full week).

II offered on 10/13. Complete early August. I felt this was a reach school so I am beyond grateful for this opportunity!

 

[FatherTime-PhD]

Thanks! So like Nov 5/7? It seems that they call on Tuesdays and Thursdays based on prior years

Fwiw I got my call on a Wednesday

 

[mon9937]

For those who have interviewed, by what time did everything end?

 

[caffeinatedMD8]

For those who have interviewed, by what time did everything end?

It depends on if you are in the earlier or later cycle of interviews. So it may be around 3:30pm or around 4:15pm

 

[Pre-med9820]

Yes. A lot.

When did a lot of pre-II rejections go out? I must have missed that.

is tufts known to have strong research opportunties?
I’m asking bc I (maybe falsely) think that strong research = better opportunities at competitive specialities.. and I don’t know how strong they are but I do know their match list is incredible 😱

Based on the research presentation on interview day, I think not as many Tufts students do research as compared to some other schools (40% iirc?), but there's still plenty of funding/opportunities. There's also a special research track that about 15% of students do where you take a year off to focus on research, so I imagine people who are aiming for really competitive specialties would tend to choose that

Does anyone know how many people are interviewed for Maine track? MSAR only shows Tufts as a whole..

Did they give any stats on how many they accept per cycle for Maine Track?

 

[glini22e]

Did they give any stats on how many they accept per cycle for Maine Track?

I know they aim to accept 40 students per cycle. I can't remember how many they said applied but I know their presentation talked about how many Mainers are applying each year. I want to say it was around 180? I think the deets were blurred by my nerves lol

 

[Anitswar]
