***Official Tufts University School of Dental Medicine c/o 2013 Thread***

Congrats man! I just found out earlier this week! I'm really excited.
I know we have to receive some papers in the mail did you get yours yet?

 

Tufts has barely started their interview cycle. I'd say no more than 50 people have been interviewed at this point. I'd wait until next semester and more of yall will come out of the woodwork. Congratulations everyone! See yall in the fall.

 

I just called Tufts and they told me they mailed decisions for those interview on Dec 1st this morning. I guess those accepted will know in a few days.

 

congrats you guys! see everyone next year. 1st year here, and so far i love it. tinman above has been here longer than me but if there are any questions, i'd be happy to answer. finals are coming up though so i/we might be a little slow.

 

Wooohoo! Tufts 2013! Count me in!

 

*high-five*

 

i know there are a bunch of interviews coming up after the holidays, but any more new acceptances? goodluck guys!

 

Not new, but I didn't post in the ***Official*** thread yet, so I'll say I was accepted, and I think the road blocks I had to accepting the invitation will be cleared away, so I may very well be attending next fall. Unless UCLA calls me up a-la "The Price is Right", Tufts is the school I'm most psyched about. Although if UNLV calls me, they offer a better financial situation...

 

YEah!!!!
I had the hardest time deciding between tufts and Penn, but in the end Boston is sooo much better than Philadelphia so just put my deposit down yesterday and am super excited to be a part of TUSDM Class of 2013!!!

Everyone should join the facebook group!

 

p.s. are there any girls in our class yet? I only see boys in the fb group.

 

I hope to join this group lol

 

i posted this in another thread, but i just wanted to let all tufts hopefuls know that they told us today that 19 students have turned in deposits thus far. hope that helps!

 

don't worry people....there is almost a 50/50 ratio of guy:girl in most classes.

 

Tufts here i come !!

 

whoa eldirty you didn't choose VCU??

good luck man!

 

I guess he decided on the better school.

 

haha ... i dont know about that ... it was a tough decision for me and hopefully everything will work out for the best.

 

.

 

Yeah He did Welcome Eldirty, I would have made the same choice too

 

I've decided to deposit to Tufts. I wish they broke it down to 2 deposits instead of one though, $1500 is nearly my whole paycheck

 

they do have 2 deposits. you will have to deposit another $500 by April I think.

 

so what made you decide tufts? i'm just trying to get a feel for other people's opinions and views... how do you guys feel about the block exams? i asked around at my interview and the students didn't seem too excited about them, so i'm a little nervous about that. other than that the curriculum and such seemed pretty solid...

 

block exams = massive studying a couple weeks before an exam block

one exam a week = neverending stream of studying until the semester is over

the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence

 

Well, since my options were USC and Tufts, it was relatively easy (see: every thread with USC in it). An issue I had was that I wanted to defer for personal reasons, but USC and Tufts both rejected the idea. Waiting to hear from UNLV, but they don't release their second batch until February, so I have to deposit to Tufts (USC's offer expired today). I forgot that Tufts requires that my undergrad sign a form though, and I only have 9 days to make that happen, and Monday is a holiday :-X

 

i prefer block exams. like tinman said....if its not in block format, you will just have an never ending stream of studying. that will mean 1-2 tests a week and not to mention the random quizzes in classes. with blocks, you can chill for 3 weeks before you crank it up again. of course we study a lil bit at a time (for some its everyday, some others it just 3 days a week) up until the week before, then everyone cranks it up a gear.

our class usually puts together post exam block functions, and everyone can enjoy it on friday without worrying about the anatomy exam looming next tuesday.

for me, the grass is greener on my side

 

WOO! Got my letter today! Tufts was my top choice, first/only interview I went to and first acceptance!! I'm so excited!

 

haha what he said! just got home from work. time to celebrate

 

YES. See you in the fall!

 

So the adcoms at Tufts told the Jan. 27th interview group that we would know 2 days after our interview what are status was i.e. (acceptance, waitlist, or rejection). Did you guys/gals here about your acceptance status through email, snail mail, or phone call? thanks

 

It's true! My friend just called me and he got accepted!!!! I'm so happy for him. Good luck everyone!

 

He interviewed a few days ago.

 

I can now say I AM IN! Ill be going there this Fall

 

my AADSAS says offer made for Tufts, does this mean accepted?
