QUESTION 9 OF 30

What research did you conduct on our school before choosing to apply to Columbia University College of Dental Medicine?

The Admissions Committee wants to know which considerations you put in before sending your application to Columbia University College of Dental Medicine. The decision-makers do not want to hear that you sent out endless careless applications, hoping that something would stick. Share with the admissions interviewers the consideration you put into your application. Some methods of consideration could have been:

- Speaking with a current student at the College of Dental Medicine
- Learning about the most renowned College of Dental Medicine graduates
- Meeting with a career counselor and asking for program recommendations
- Performing extensive online research on the school's history and accolades
- Having an informational interview with an alumnus of the College of Dental Medicine
- Attending an open house at Columbia University and speaking to a member of the admissions team

"I was sure to conduct a great deal of research before applying to Columbia University College of Dental Medicine. I started by interviewing some alumni that I know, and I also spoke with a couple of students currently in the dentistry program. Last year I attended the open house here as well. Your school left a very positive impression on me, which is why I chose to apply here."
