Hey future P&Sers -- Glad that you all are so excited to start because you are going to love it here. To whomever got Dr. Nichols as an advisor, you are all kinds of lucky because she is a cool lady. They will be around for 2 half days a week to get to know you and help you out. This is a...

Hey all you excited Columbia first years to be! I am a 2nd year here, and just wanted to clear up some of the issues that you all have been kicking around. Email Address -- Get that now, before you get to school. A lot of the stuff you need to set up in the fall you need an email...

This is one of the most innane threads that I have read in awhile. Yale and Columbia are both great schools and you are splitting hairs. They both give you a great education and they both match all kinds of good places. You visited both, so I am sure that you liked one better. Go to the one...

Hey dudes -- I am a first year here at Columbia and hope that I can help you out with the limited info that I know of. I told Dr. Frantz via letter that Columbia was my first choice multiple times before the waitlist letter hit my mailbox. But, at the bottom I got the I can't tell you what...

What Scott said was right on target, especially about visiting the school again. Be sure to go to revisit weekend if you get in (at all the schools) as that will give you a better idea of the school as a whole, the student body, and how you would fit in. With the MD/PHD program especially...

Hey there-- I am a current columbia first year and would love to give you my two cents on all of your thoughts about Columbia. I am rediculously happy here, so fair warning that I might be a little biased!!! You are right about the facilities being good -- that is one of the parts of...

Woah whats with the Columbia bashing???? I feel the need to defend my beloved school. Those of you who are saying that everyone is miserable here are completely worng -- we are the happiest bunch of campers ever to set foot at med school. Everyone really loves it here, so I don't know where...

I say that because Emory is the best of the three academically. I was really turned off by georgetown when I was there -- buildings were grundgy and the students seemed to not like the school. Emory was warm and sunny, and the area is really pretty. They seemed to be throwing the money around...

emory is the better school -- I would definitely choose it over tulane. Emory is so nice and pretty, and tulane is falling apart and the labs are all cramped. Pick emory for sure!

Emory is the best of the three by far
