"Overall, I loved Tufts and the people I met there. My first interview was scary, however, as the pathologist who interviewed me ''lost his composure'' when we were discussing anonymous vs. confidential HIV testing; and my advocating for the former. He was shocked that confidential HIV testing ''in which testee names are recorded'' have been anecdotally linked to increased insurance premiums for the testee. He balked at the idea, as he has run clinical labs and swore that it would be his head if ever such event occurred. The interview was going well up to that point, but his ''loss of composure'' may have ruined my experience. He apologized at the end of the interview, but I am not sure if such an incident hurt my chances. the second interview was with a MSIV and was just lovely. After I stated I was a reapplicant and that this was my first interview, she gave me a high five and said that she liked me alot from what she learned from my AMCAS. She thought I was a ''real person'' as I have had to overcome some obstacles and have a bredth of academic and extracurricular experience. We talked about grades, what character-type she thought made good doctors, and about having a relationship in medical school. The conversation was so laid back that it was as if we had met for coffee. In sum, the interview day at Tufts is fantastic in that the presentations in the morning are well done, the culture of the school is laid back, and the interviews are not intense. I hope I get in, and if granted admission would seriously consider attending Tufts." Report Response
