<p>If so, or if you know about it, is it a good program to consider matriculating into?</p>
<p>yes it is. it’s new this year, but everything i hear is it gives a lot of opportunities for those that want to research, helps you get close to faculty.</p>
<p>Being a research fellow at Columbia would essentially give you research projects handed to you on a silver platter, whereas other science students like myself need to actively seek these opportunities out ourselves. You get to know and work closely with some of the top science faculty in the world without having to do the legwork usually necessary at any college. Definitely a great program if you are determined to go into research!</p>
