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!" Report Response
