SDN, Columbia Web Site, Friends

What impressed you positively?

Great Reputation, Focus on specialization, Dr. Davis and McManus seemed like great guys along with the rest of the staff. Also the diversity that the school strives for.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing at all.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I knew that they foccused on specialization, but 97% of the graduating class went on to spec. I personally want to go into pedo, but if you dont care to spec. look somewhere else

What are your general comments?

THe schools awesome. Didnt really feel that the whole DDS = 2nd class student was dominant. Im sure there are people in both the dental and Medical school who dont feel for the other. It seemed like everyone had an easy interview experience, real layed back. I felt kind of grilled causing me to possibly dig my own grave, but what can you do? The school is awesome and is my definite #1 choice. Now its time to wait for the infamous good/bad letter.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
