Writing Tips for Tufts
Expert advice for this specific school
✍️
Handwritten on Interview Day: These responses are written during the interview visit. Practice writing concise, thoughtful responses by hand. You won't be able to revise, so clarity of thought under pressure matters.
🎨
Colorblind Question β€” Think Creatively: This prompt is open-ended by design. Consider empathy, perspective-taking, career implications, patient care, or artistic interpretation. There is no single 'right' answer β€” originality is rewarded.
✏️
Proofread Thoroughly: Read each response aloud and have a mentor review it. Typos and grammatical errors signal carelessness to admissions committees.
