Their specialization rate, the fact that we were treated so well, given breakfast and lunch in their nice dining room.

the fact that the dental school is squeeshed in the medical school... the facilities arent great. Also the director of admissions made a lot of sexist comments, yeah he was joking, but i didnt find them amusing. He was a cocky, ignorant person, and I had absolutely no respect for him.

What are your general comments?

We were treated very well by the school. However, the facilities are not the best, and the director of admissions is a cocky, ignorant person, whom i have very little respect for. THe fact that the school choose him to represent them to us, tell me a lot about columbia. My interviewer was nice, it was a relaxed atmosphere.
