Awesome hearing from both of you. I don’t plan on applying to Columbia because I don’t want to live in NYC but I like hearing your thought process for why you chose Columbia.

aww haha that's totally fair! NYC isn't everyone's cup of tea for sure but the advice can be applicable for choosing a school anywhere I think

Hello Medina always appreciate you answering questions. Do you feeling like columbia (being known for one of the "specialty schools") helps the students that wants to specialize have more "free time" to study for their exams (ie. CBSE for OMFS) compared to state schools that has a lot of clinics starting at d1 (that focuses on general dentistry)? I know you are going for general dentistry, but from your observation / experience. thanks!

Our pre-clinic starts in D1 year spring. And in terms of time off, no people do not really get time off to study for these exams. Most people use the summer break between D1 and D2 year which is 3 months, or just study during the semesters. We don’t get long breaks off school starting from D2 year. It’s pretty much just 2 weeks in summer and 1 week of spring break and Christmas break. Even for board exams we can only request a maximum of 5 days off from clinic or rotations to study or take the exam which is a little sad because it used to be that you could get a month off but the rule was recently changed and admin is firm on sticking with it.

All the lectures are recorded but some courses have mandatory attendance that’s part of your grade so you have to be there for those. It depends on which year of school it is, but I was definitely on campus less my D1 year but as a D3 I’m there almost every day because I’m seeing patients in addition to class. And Columbia dental is just pass/fail no honors

do you think the medical school curriculum at columbia is beneficial or detrimental to someone who’s only interested in general dentistry (as opposed to OMFS)??

I’m going into general dentistry and I don’t think it can ever hurt. It makes you a better clinician because you can spot many systemic diseases before they progress to a severe state and refer your patient to their PCP for follow up and treatment

How is the prosthodontics program at Columbia? What kind of procedures do the students/residents do? Prosthetics is a specialty I'm interested in. Also, what is the LGBT representation like in your class? Are you able to have nights out in the city on the weekends?

Our prosth department is great. The head of the department Dr. Song is very supportive and personally helps supervise students through their removable prosth cases. The residency is pretty competitive from what I hear but I have limited knowledge about what they get to do since I’m not a resident. In terms of representation we have lots of students who are part of our Identity club which is an organization supporting and highlighting lgbt voices. And obviously if you want to have some fun in the city the world is your oyster lol
