i interviewed there last year and knew by the time i got there i wouldn't include it on my rank list.
my beefs were as follows:
1) the residency curriculum is spread out over 4 hospitals....metropolitan on 1st ave and 97th, one in the bronx, one in harlem, and one in westchester county. the bulk of your time is actually at the one in westchester. there is no good way to get there...there's no train access to that hospital. i asked the assistant program director about it, and he said most of the residents have cars. a car in manhattan on a resident's salaray seemed ridiculous to me
2) i didn't see a single ED resident on my interview. they were all at conference in westchester.
3) i don't recall exactly what it was i asked for...but i remember having a lot of correspondance issues with their coordinator. very nice lady, but wouldn't provide me with basic information i requested.
4) basically, i felt like there were all sorts of red flags about this place. if you're determined to be in manhattan and its your only shot, then go for it. otherwise, i would search elsewhere.
