Columbia Research, Pre-Med and FA

<p>How good is Columbia in terms of research opportunities? Also, as a prospective premed student, how rigourus is their premed coursework (is it extremely hard to get an A, is it prestigious, etc)? Lastly, how are the financial aid packages offered over there? I will definitely check out the Net Price Calculators but I'd like to get an idea about FA at Columbia beforehand as well. </p>

<p><em>bump</em> I’d also appreciate more info about these things</p>
