question about tufts

[ssd]

i am filling out my tufts secondary and trying to figure out what i want to say about why i am applying there. tufts doesn't send out an information booklet (or I just didn't get one) and their website is pretty terrible. i think i found enough info, but i still have 1 question that i can't find an answer to:

is tufts pass/fail or grades?

the only question is "why have you applied to tufts university school of medicine?"

you have about 3.5" of page to compose an answer

I found this on "that other pre-med forum" -- they have a "search for medical schools" function that turns up program descriptions which are quite informative.

In addition to required courses, first and second-year students choose among pre-clinical selectives. These are graded as Pass/Fail and allow students to explore their interests early on in the program.

Which would imply that the rest of the curriculum is not pass-fail.
