Howdy Ludy!
I cannot agree more with you. I LOVED Dartmouth! I was limited by the 10 items rule on the poll. I actually know nothing about the NYC programs, but felt the need to add them to attempt to round out the northeast. (or maybe its my sneaky way of hoping nobody finds out about the gem at the base of Mount Cardigan!)
So, my tribute to Dartmouth in a nutshell: Beautiful hospital, nice laboratory layout, short days (compared to the urban zoos), very very rural environment (almost too much for me), cool program director. Only place I interviewed at that had pictures of huge mountains (Denali, Kilamanjaro) in every office. And definitely the only place where I was consistently introduced to my next interviewer as "This is Mindy. She hikes." My dream would be to be an attending at Dartmouth... (ahhh....)
