Tufts Application

[venus]

hi, guys!!
I also had an interview at Tuft on July 21.
hey, Ivan!! do you remember me? a girl from south Korea!!
yeah..
I'm also waiting for their contact since I came back.
pretty annoying. checked my mail in everyday...

my interview was also very casual and laidback.
An Indian professor interviewed me( I figured out that he also graduated Tufts program in 1980, anyway) and asked personal questions a lot. plus he asked about how dentistry is in Korea. like equipments, materials that we use etc..
I was wondering how much AC(Admission Committee) cares about interview.
personally I don't think interview can affect the result, though.

It seems that we don't have much choice except for praying.
Be positive and Good luck to everybody!!!

Hi Mandakki and Ann03
Tufts requires both part 1 and part2
do u both have part 2 scores???
the best person to call u is katherine wasilenko
she is very good and cooperative . may be she can help u?

Good Luck

Good Luck for the interview
karysma and lihuahuang
would you please share your scores with us

Sorry. I replied it late. my scores are: part 1 97, part II 84, GPA 3.8. I don't know if the part II score is enought for Tufts or not. still a little bit nervous.

 

[Cleo]

Karysma,
So how did your interview go?
pls share ur experience with us.

after applying how long did they take to send in your interview call?I had applied in d end of August ie 27th...m i too late?

 

[karysma]

Hi Cleo:

Sorry for the late reply.
Interviewes at Tufts are very cool and take place in a relaxed and friendly manner. My interviewer asked me general questions-my experience, goals, hobbies, my favorite subject, strength and weakness- nothing technical or academic. So just relax and I would surely suggest to review your CV, Personal statement and be yourself.
I sent my application in the last week of July and got invitation for the interview around 15 th of August.
I was interviewed in the second phase as first interviews took place sometime in July. But we were told that they will review all the aplications they recieve till 15th of September. So they will let you know or I will suggest that you might want to give them a call.
Good Luck.
Karysma.

thanx Karysma!!!!!

u make me feel optimistic.
hope u get through!!!
