How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

uh, nothing. tried to paraphrase my research into a two minute speech but that was just mentally.

What impressed you positively?

the school facilities are awesome, there are a lot of patients, tons of funded student research, the deans rock, the students seem happy, you cosit with the medical students

What impressed you negatively?

the interview was a waste of time. they didn't really learn anything about me and i was prepared to go in and impress but fell flat because there just wasn't the dialogue i had hoped for.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the A train is an express train from midtown so you don't have to stop everywhere like I did on the C train!

What are your general comments?

The school was awesome although it is expensive. I worry that the dental school ranks low on all of the other schools at the Columbia medical campus and very low among Columbia in general. Overall though, the experience was awesome I just wish the interviewer had more time and we could have gotten to more topics.
