Hey there. I know we've talked on other threads but I'm in a similar position. Unfortunately, I didn't nail a scholarship from Columbia in order to make it an equal cost as UAB though. I'm still in the process of deciding between the two, but i have started to lean heavily towards UAB primarily due to the price difference. If both schools were the same price for me, I would go to Columbia in a heartbeat. I grew up in AL and I go to UAB for undergrad, so I am ready for something new, and what better place than New York? I believe both places are excellent academically, although UAB may be slightly better clinically. Columbia has the name, but UAB has an absurd amount of research money coming in, which I know you're interested in. It just comes down to what you wanna do with your dental degree. I'd love to hear more of your thoughts though cause I've been accepted to both and thought about making this same thread. Crazy to see that someone else is having the same dilemma
