Cadapter Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) It’s rolling admissions so interviews will be going out until they fill the class of 50. Edited June 6, 2018 by Cadapter words are hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rms13 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Just received an interview invite as well!!! However, I have travel plans during the dates they provided. Should I call about other interview dates or is that bad ettiquette? This is my first round applying so I’m uncertain how to handle this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it more traditional or behavioral? The interviews at Tufts are incredibly laid back, but the director is old-school. They consist of 2 interviews with principle or adjunct members of the faculty (one-on-one), a presentation given by the program director and a student-lead tour of the academic buildings/labs and a brief walk through the medical center. Be professional at all times, even when with those students giving the tour - they do ask us for feedback about yall. Be prepared, just like any other interview. If it's in your application, be able to explain or discuss it confidently. Know why you're applying to be a PA and why you want to study at Tufts. Have anecdotes from your patient care experience ready to talk about, especially if they were challenging for you or your team. Set yourself apart. Send a thank you note to the director afterwards - no emails! Good luck 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emgall0508 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 My application was verified on 6/12, it seems like people that get invited for interviews are contacted a week or two after verification. For those that have been invited for interviews, is it just an email invitation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interviews are very conversational. Be prepared to address everything you listed on your PS, experiences, volunteering, etc. Have some behavioral scenarios in mind to pull from. overall it is was a very relaxed experience, staff is incredibly nice and welcoming.

So I know everyone is saying that the interviews are relaxed and everyone is really nice, but my question is how many other prospective students are there at the same time? I've heard that many schools have some form of group interview during the day, does Tufts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
