Why is your order Columbia, Harvard, Penn? ie, what factors were you looking for?

Yeah, i was wondering about the same thing. Most people would have a hard time turning down Harvard. Also, is there anything in particular that you like about Columbia over Penn?
 
Penn's kinda pricey. He's already gone to Harvard. No need for another line on the resume to say Harvard. Thus, no need for that Harvard Hype.
 
because Columbia is the best dental school with the coolest and the sexiest dental students anywhere :thumbup:

Thank you! I live in NYC, so it got to my home quickly.

Out of state!
And according to predent.com, most are from out of state. Columbia is a private school that doesn't give preference on residency.
 
Put down my deposit a couple of days ago. See you guys this fall.
 
i'm officially going to CU. :D

i checked the website but i couldn't find anything...does anyone know when orientation and the first day of classes begin??

i thought you wanted to go to UW from what i've seen in reference to your posts? maybe I was wrong...anyway congrats on attending CU.
 
has anyone gotten a confirmation that they received your deposit and supplemental forms?

I called them and they confirmed they received it, they said they hadn't cashed it yet though. I asked them if they could let me know when they cashed it, but they said they wouldn't. I'd say to call and confirm they received it.
 
i haven't had any luck calling but they have a message to send an e-mail to [email protected] to check application status so i'll try that out. last time i got in touch with someone they said to call on wednesdays but it'll be past the deadline by then.

edit: i got in touch with them today. i'm in!

i'd like to go to uw because the tuition is low. but i just found out that i'm not considered a washington resident anymore (my dad lives there, but i live in maine) so the chances of me getting accepted are quite low. and CU is just such a wonderful school.
best to you. uw is great (and has such a nice price tag)!
 
let's keep this thread alive!
 
i'm going:D :cool: anyone know when we can expect housing info?
 
Did you guys notice that in the material they give you at Columbia during the interview there is information on exchange programs at other universities abroad? They're not just mission trips, I think. Does anyone know more about this???
 
I called them and asked. They said they send out the housing information in May.

Btw, they cashed out my check yesterday, too!!
I guess I am officially in the class of 2011, too! :D

Yes, for the externship/exchange program, there are several choices:

1) Japan, Osaka Dental school
2) Israel
3) Turkey
4) London, Guys Hospital
5) Taiwan, National Taiwan University

You basically spend several weeks during the summer after the 1st year at the foreign institution of your choice to observe/learn and get a sense of what dentistry is like outside of the States. I think several students are selected per program (for ex, last year 4 students went to the one in Taiwan). There's also a funded research externship program at Amsterdam, and only 1 student will be selected to this program per year.
 
Thanks! That's great info. I don't know of many other schools (if any) that do that. It's always been a big regret of mine that I never studied abroad in undergrad. I hope I get to do it in d-school.
 
They still did not cashed my check...is it totally sure that it is 1,000...
Did u guys put more than that...like 1 more 0? :D

I would appreciate it better if the order is this way: Columbia=Upenn>Harvard

hahaha...yeah ....that's too much bias from a Rev, but i'll live with it

I still love you folks going to Harvard. You'll be great Dentist....oh maybe not the best clinician right after your 4-yrs of dentistry.....

Rev Balls....Columbia or UPenn Dental Medicine
