Dont sweat it.......its an investment for your future......remember, all us SDNers are in the same boat 😉
Hey Aileen, I sent in 1500 to the school once I got my acceptance so technically right now on paper I'm going to Columbia...aileen said:
But no I haven't made up my mind yet since I have yet to speak with my dentist. I will see him on friday. and I'm also waiting for my marks to come back to see if I meet the provisonal GPA for U of T.
To my fellow Columbians, I hope you don't think I'm some stuck up arrogant bastard for real and would be a pain in the ass to work with. I'm just joking around and having some fun with some pre-dents in the other messages with my weird sense of humour.
Any guy around here going to live off campus next yr? around the upper west side..hopefully? roomate?

Living off campus is an option but do you want to deal with the commute and higher rent. Although oncmpus you have to deal with shared bathrooms and TINY space. I think personally I'll prob just stay oncampus and save the commute especially since its nyc.
Yeah I got my finan package too, and they only threw me 3gs. Thats so weak. How did you guys do?

I assume everyone received some financial aid from Columbia. Does anyone know when we should turn in our Master Promissiory Note? When should we decide our lenders? I know we should turn in our finacial aid offer acceptance form soon, but what should we do with our promisory note? Thanks...

I read the letter carefully, and it says that we will sign the promissory note at registration......
Hey Herc,
I called in and they told me that they prefer you turn all the info in within 2 weeks, but if needed there relaly is no dead line. I told them that I wanted to wait till june to turn it in cause i want to go over it with my parents and they said that was fine.
Also what lender are you guys going with? THE, Access, citibank?. And is anyone considerin loan consolidation?

I visited COlumbia's fin aid office on Wed, apparently they have lost my initial letter with student worksheets, so I decided to take in-person so that there is no way they can loose it 🙂
SO I think it will take me sometime before they mail my financial package, I am hoping for some help, it doesn' matter how much but SOME will be great🙂
There is nothing to be heard about the next years, at least that's what they told me, they were way to busy with preparing the letters and current students. But this nice girl at the office was friendly and sayed they are waiting for us. Aww how nice of them. Well anyway, I just want to mention that the weather was absolutely gorgeous and the hospital area seemingly has transformed into a very good neighborhood: bright, active and lovely. I can't wait to finish my exams now( Even though I am pretty sad about leaving my current school, graduating and moving on) and join you guys next year.
Till then,

the doctors i work with said i have no dental work to be done except for cleaning... damn, i wanted to get all the work done before i start school in august. at least i'm gonna push for zoom whitening. hey, i'm entitled for whitening after 2 years working full time at this dental office. don't u think so?
Most dental schools offer its matriculated students reduced fee/free care. I wager Columbia wouldn't be any different. Just something to consider before spending $$$$ on dental care before starting dental school-- You might be able to save some money if you wait until after you have registered as a student (unless one requires emergency care for things like an abscessed tooth or something).
Prices are 75% off for columbia dental students seeking dental care at columbia. Those future students in need of implants may recieve ONE free implant, however, the cost of the crown comes out of your pockets......with a 75% discount of course. 😀
Aileen, dont sweat the whitening kit if your dentist wont give it to you. It only costs $25 to buy the Opalescent Whitening kit from the dental store in school. All my classmates have white teeth now. 😀

there's a grocery store two blocks away... there's some resturants that are pretty cheap and others that are decent and you always have McDonalds and Wendy's...
*just wanted to add...times sq is only 20-30 mins away by A train... it's the best place to just walk around...so lively and beautiful 🙂
Does anybody know what kind of scrubs (style, color, etc) we'll be wearing? What color scrubs are 1st year students required to wear? I need to replace my scrubs at work and figure I can save some $ if I buy the ones that are required by the school.
I have one more question. Do we have a break during winter, say around Christmas? I'm already planning on winter vacations. 🙂
