I'm about to graduate from Tufts, 4 years ago I interviewed in late January, was placed in the dd category (like most), got my WL letter on May 15-ish (comes in a big packet), and accepted from WL in mid-July. I've posted about this numerous times, there are things that I really like about Tufts; the facilities have improved a LOT since I first came here, pre-clinical teaching is solid, LOVE Boston (will miss terribly next year), clinical training at non-NEMC sites tends to be excellent (BWH/Faulkner, Lahey, Baystate). With the exception of some very lovely people however, the administration here at all levels is chock-full of rude, rude, unsupportive, and did I mention rude, people, and with a good # of BA/MD students coming in from Tufts and Brandeis undergrad, there is definitely some snobbery and arrogance in the air at times.
And yah, I know no one wants to think about money right now, but if you are a MA resident and get into Tufts and UMass, GO TO UMASS!! Yes, Worcester isn't the greatest city in the world, but the school's reputation is solid (creeping up on Tufts in research funding, and stellar reputation for primary care), and their residency placements are none to shabby. I unfortunately did not go to HS in MA, so I wasn't eligible to go there, but the UMass students I know are super happy and nice, great residents too (though as I'll be one in a few months, I may be just a wee bit biased). Ditto for just about any state school.. Hope you all hear good news soon..
