I had another school do that also. They said in the email to use that or a background without distraction. I'd say 2 out of the 9 people in my interview group actually used the background they gave.
I used the background!
I second this! Definitely open-app and they reference your interests (both vet and non-vet)
I did not use the background bc my computer is not powerfully enough to do it
I didn’t use it! I don’t think they care that much
If you scroll further down from the Dean's welcome vid you should see where it says "Online Interview Details" and your two faculty interviewers' names should be listed there along with a link to their intro vids!!
thats weird that I don't have them! Thanks though! i will email and ask
Mine didn’t show up until 2-3 days before my interview!
Nevermind! Saw someone post the answer further up. Lol
I've read on this thread and the previous year's thread thay they accept a good amount over the actual seats (100).. i wonder how many? If anyone knowsor is this something that changes every year
I see. Thanks so much!
They mentioned in one of the sessions that they would eventually upload them onto our portals!
I skipped it. Someone mentioned that they get a little overwhelmed with emails because they interview so many people. I don’t think it matters as much as we think it does.
I haven’t and the email they sent said it would only be through Feb. 10th so I’ve given up hope 😅
Yeah, that is exactly where I am at
Did they say on the 20th? or around the 20th? Also did they say how they would notify us? An email? a notification to check the portal? phone call?
From what I saw last year they received an email to check the portal on the 20th, when decisions were out!
During the q&a session, i believe he said 20-something, which I'm assuming is any time from 20th to 28th!
i received my email on the 22nd
I didn't even submit financial aid paperwork because I didn't think I'd get an interview😅 For me applying to tufts was like me applying to UC Berkeley in high school. It's my dream school but impossible, so I apply anyways and expect nothing. Low and behold the impossible happened and I got an interview so If I get in somehow I'll be screwed the first year, but it'll be worth it
that sounds like a question for patty, who is super helpful and friendly, but if i remember correctly from my anxious pre-vet days it's ~1/3 gpa {not specified what kind of gpa - though i believe the emphasis was on cumulative}, 1/3 interview, and then like 1/4 holistic and the remainder being essays. i don't remember if they ever clarified about last 45 & science.
Hi. I want to ask how your interview experience went for you !
It was my favorite interview! Super conversational. They had some questions prepared, but they were standard things like my career goals and financial awareness. Then the rest of the time was spent talking about the IVM program (which I am now in). I was paired with the director of the program so I was able to ask a ton of questions. I definitely recommend having specific questions for the interviewers, because it shows how interested you are in Tufts!
if it helps, i feel like my interview did not go super well -- was asked quite a lot about prior withdrawals in o-chem -- and i still received an offer. you never know, but there's a little bit of wiggle room in those interviews for sure, because i felt pretty cornered lol
Thanks so much. I appreciate this !
I was hoping today but it is Presidents Day and I don't even think there are classes for them today :/
Hopefully we'll be hearing soon! Manifesting only the best of things for us!
Omg i wouldve gotten a heart attack
just confirming that we have no classes today!
wow unfair😭, no decisions today AND I still have classes today? AND I still have an exam today? My school should take a note from yall
ah that's rough lol i'm sorry, and i hope your exam goes okay. waiting is the worst.
or is this something that changes every year
