💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
A very blunt question about something very specific (and negative) about my application--I was actually happy it was asked, so I could explain myself.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Reviewed application, Columbia website, and obviously mentally prepared for predictable questions.
What impressed you positively?
Everything, pretty much. The students even managed to sell me on the area--it provides the opportunity to get more hands on clinical training than schools like Cornell where the clientele may be a bit snooty. Columbia is by far my #1 choice.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing really--the free meal was pretty weak, but who cares.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
It only takes about 25 minutes to get there from dowtown Manhattan--I was 40 minutes early.
