SDN, Columbia website.

What impressed you positively?

They definitely have their act together. Great reputation. D4's got the specialty program of their choice.

What impressed you negatively?

We didnt visit the lecture hall. We got thrown into the clinics for way too long. I know the adcoms are reading this so -- please make the visit to the sim lab a bit shorter.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Just how darn great the school is. They don't make research a must.

What are your general comments?

Overall great experience. I was very impressed with everything Columbia has to offer. The adcom people were very nice and extremely helpful. I didn't notice anything that pointed to the dental students being treated like 2nd class citizens. Spoke with students and they all seemed to be content. Their only complaint was the block exams and learning a bit too much with the med school curriculum. Columbia went from a thought in my mind to the school I want to attend!
