the student body and the faculty are bar none the most enthusiastic people i have run into at any interview thus far

the campus and the facilities are not all that modern, although i'm sure the hostpital was well equipped

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

relax!!!! everyone is so nice and they really try to put you at ease

What are your general comments?

The interview day was pretty unorganized and laid back... basically we hung around in the reception room for a good part of the morning just talking to students that dropped by. although not very well put togehter, it was a great opportunity to get to know students not necessarily associated with the admissions committee. I wished the tour covered more- i would have liked to see more of the hostpital. Overall, though, a great day... my interviewer was so kind and laid back. If you are headed to columbia for an interview, prepare, but then relax, it will be great!
