*** The Official Tufts School of Dentistry Class of 2024 Interview/Acceptance Thread ***

On my decision form it says to submit transcripts to them.. If I have not completed any additional schoolwork since my application was submitted do I need to do this?

Yes, you do! I had the same question. They also have to be official transcripts from your school. I did an electronic version, but you can also have them mailed.

Do you need the send the official DAT score as well?

No, you don't need to send in your official DAT scores. Also they are only asking for one transcript and that is your degree conferring transcript (whichever undergraduate university you graduated from).

Thank you. I meant to say the disciplinary form. I attended two schools. So I only need the one that I earned my bachelor from?

For those who got deferred acceptances, do we need to send the required forms my mail or email? If by email to whom we need to email to. Thank you 🙂
 
For the deferred program, do I need to send my official transcripts now or wait once I graduate end of this month in order to include my grades for this semester.

Hi D24's, Congrats. I am a D22, and will probably be one of your " Big brothers" . If you are bored and want to get ahead and be ready for the 1st semester and DO GOOD with less stress. STUDY GROSS ANATOMY ASAP. Everything from the waist up including brain and CNS! Nerves, arteries, Veines, Muscles, Tendons, Organs, blood supply to the organs. The 1st exam in gross anatomy is around September/october, and it has to do with the Arm and Shoulder .I used the textbook or you can get a PDF somewhere online of " ANATOMY" by Rohen edition 8.


So yea the school is great !!!, Expensive. But hey, which school isn't expensive. Makes you wonder, why we pay so much, and yet Dentists are considered NON ESSENTIAL . But anyways, grading is Fair, students are nice, everyone is helpful.

Any questions feel free to ask, and maybe other D23's or D22's will chime in, since we are being homeschooled at the moment.
 
Hello everyone! I've applied to Tufts back in September, and my application is still under review. Are they still doing interviews or is all hope lost? Thank you for your help!

What’s your stat if you don’t mind me asking?
 
Does anyone have experience with their deferred program? Do they give you special treatment or are you treated the same as the D1's?
which program did they recommend for you? There is the MBS at Tufts Medical and the PDND program with the dental school?
 
I received the invite bc my stats were below their standards. So it doesn’t mean that their class is necessarily full. I declined bc I was accepted elsewhere
What;d you end up deciding on?
 
Accepted off the waitlist yesterday via email! Only sent a letter of intent and left a voice message after my interview. Good luck to those who are still waiting!
Congratulations . I have a question, do you have to email them back to confirm your acceptance? If so did they reply to you bacK?

Yes I replied back and sent the forms but they didn’t respond
 
I sent an email to the admission to confirm my acceptance and have attached the required forms but they didn’t respond yet. I was wondering if anyone received a confirmation email please.

Can anyone who has been waitlisted then accepted please PM me?
 
For anyone doing the PDND program... have you received any information on when classes are supposed to start (Yes I know Covid..) and any further info on price breakdown etc. I just sent in my deposit.
 
Is the first semester definitely online? I’m PDND and haven’t gotten any info yet
I don't know about the PDND program (or what is it lol) but looks like DMD will be online but we will need to be in the Boston area to have access to certain resources. It is not set in stone, however.

It may be online they haven't decided yet. I was in the PDND this year.
 
I got accepted off the waitlist on Wednesday. If you’re still waiting, dont give up!

they are only doing the bare minimum required by law to protect students health. which means disinfecting and rewearing the same n95 masks in clinic, and using cheap worthless masks in preclin. When are you practicing placing and drilling amalgam you want a real surgical mask! not a piece of paper with ear loops. especially because the class size is so large. they are disregarding our student rights, especially student affairs. they lie to students to cover up how bad things are. historically they just punish students who speak out, but there are so many upset students that the administration is scrambling because they are getting pushback from students for once. they prioritize the d4s who still need to graduate but then that delays the d21s, and then the d22s are delayed and so on. there probably won't be enough patient volume for everyone to graduate on time so everyone is stuck paying full price for a sub-par education
