Getting into Med School is Hard? Not with BeMo.
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
To those that recently got II, were there December dates, or are they already in January?

Did you guys get an II just now? Been complete end of July and silent since then... I've probably been passed over or silently rejected.

Edit: LizzyM also 70, OOS

Tuesdays and Thursdays of every month. They were only into December when I picked a date today so all of January onwards is still open.

I don't think they silent reject, pretty sure from stalking last years feed Dec they started sending out rejections. I am dying to hear from Tufts!!
 
Can anybody give insight about the interview? The information they gave us about that day just says what time to check in and when it will end. Was anybody able to find a schedule or something on their portal or information about arranging a student host?

Interview day is super chill. You have 2 open file interviews either in the morning or afternoon. While half the group interviews the other half gets a tour. There is a financial aid presentation and a research presentation too.

is it one faculty and one student?
 
I wonder if Tufts will send a rejection tidal wave like they did last year, that was a Pitt-level bloodbath
 
Hoping they reach September complete dates soon!

Does anyone know if they go back and give II even tho they seem to go in chronological order? Like if you were complete end of July and they're inviting August now is it reject or do they actually go back at all?

There are a lot of factors, it's not based on chronology necessarily. Check out last year's thread they had people complete in August getting II's in Jan
 
Does anyone have any insight to the Deferred list for the Maine Track? Is it pretty much a rejection or are there still good chances of getting in from it?

The way I understood it is that they just haven’t decided anything yet. They discuss your application again at the subsequent meeting and issue a decision then or continue to defer you until a decision has been reached. Purgatory.
 
So I noticed that Tufts seems to encourage updates from applicants. Has anyone tried sending an update/letter of interest letter pre-interview or is it better to wait until afterwards? Also, what type of achievements are considered appropriate for such a letter outside of research publications? For example, is something like being recognized as a featured volunteer due to active contribution considered appropriate within a letter of intent?

Thanks for the response!
Did you just discuss your new job and emphasized your interest in the school again? I am thinking of doing this, but just not sure if it would be looked down on by adcoms.

Hi! First time posting on SDN but long-time viewer. Was just wondering if you emailed the update or uploaded it onto the portal under "Additional Documents"?
