when it asks you whether there are any personal reasons for you to attend their school, is it bad if I leave it blank. I really can't think of anything. Maybe the chicks are hot in Boston?

If you read their directions, you'll find the answer you seek. http://www.tufts.edu/med/admissions/2005_2ndary_app_instructions.pdf

You oughta read all instructions that come with secondaries, you'll find much useful information, such as to whom you should address your checks.

would meeting up with some old friends be a legitimate personal reason?

I was wondering the same thing. I know that they say you don't have to put it, but would it be safer to do it?

they said the overwhelming majority leave it blank, but its prolly better if you write maybe 1000 characters on the schools cirriculum, facilities, focus on a particular speciality, boston location, etc.

boston is an amazing city for someone in medicine -- it has some of the best hospitals in the country, great research opportunities (a healthy biotech component too), and youll find a diverse group of patients due to the city's population. besides all this, its got great sports, theatre, and nightlife. all pretty good reasons to go to school in this city 🙂 of course im biased having grown up here, but those are my thoughts as to why youd want to go to boston 😀

Oh wow, 1000 characters? I just wrote one line.

Personally, I left it blank. I read those instructions, and I figured they were saying "If you don't have some compelling reason, don't write anything." They probably don't ask everyone to write, becasue they would hear the same bull**** about how Boston is great, opportunities are great, balh, blah, blah. That doesn't help exaluate an application.

Now if you had family you wanted to stay near, a spouse/fiance, etc. I can see where you would have something to write.
