i pm.ed you. please check it out.
Tufts is having major problems with patients. A lot of third and fourth years are just standing around with nothing to do- they expanded the class size way too quickly (especially international), pretty much intense greed to maximize tuition income for the school occurred and now we are super stressed about if we'll have enough patients to graduate on time. Cant speak for BU.
Found this in a thread on the pre-dent page.
And I found this is in reddit:
So I go to BU (1st year) and my friend goes to Tufts (also first year). Here's what I've gathered that makes me feel I made the right decision (we both got into both): The faculty at BU is incredible. Both the classroom lecturers and the preclinic instructors. Extremely knowledgeable but also extremely passionate, friendlier, and more approachable than what my friend has described at Tufts. The second major thing is their test scheduling, they do block testing and BU does gradual testing ie. there's only one test once a week (with 1 exception). This makes studying and preparing much easier to manage, rather than study for 3 tests you have within 4 days of one another. Other than those details, the schools are so similar it doesn't matter. Tufts has the better reputation, but I believe BU's will inch their ways up towards theirs in the coming years.
As someone who's considering both, can you please give your honest opinion on these peoples experiences @Del0 ?
Thank you @Incis0r ! It's a shame that this is happening
Yeah it's very true and very sad that we probably won't graduate on timeWhat you found on the pre-dent page (the quote by Manic324, not the Reddit post) is absolutely true. I have heard the same exact thing from multiple current 3rd+4th year students there.
That's real unfortunate man. I hope you and the rest of your classmates that are finishing late can finish before they make you register for another termYeah it's very true and very sad that we probably won't graduate on time

They responded by sending out an email telling students to "be proactive" and go out and recruit their own patients. They also added something like 30 international students to further overcrowd the clinics and increase their tuition revenue...I'm sure this has been brought to the schools attention by now. How have they responded and what are they doing to resolve the issue?
Around 1/3 last year couldn't get their requirements by graduation and it's even worse this year.What year are you?
How many classmates would you say are having trouble graduating on time?

As far as graduating on time I have heard that some people on the second floor have trouble graduating because some of the PC's on that floor are sticklers about completely unnecessary things to the point where one of our professors won't go on he second floor anymore because he butts heads with the PC down there.
