read SDN, watched tv, and slept.

What impressed you positively?

I loved the people and my interviewer was super cool and friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

The food they serviced during lunch was so bizarre. We had a plastic box of carrots that all 23 or so of us had to grab with our hands. The dorms are ok but you can't really cook on your own and there aren't many food places around.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That Columbia is heavy on neurology.

What are your general comments?

It was a very relaxed day and pretty fun. I had a great time talking to my fellow interviewees and the interviewer. I am very impressed by the enthusiasm of the students. So many of them came in to the interview room just to chat with us.
