Can I get an opinion on how some med. students at Sinai feel about being there? I've heard a lot of people talk about students being very "clicky" and not helping eachother out..is this true? I don't want to go there and learn the hard way bc I hate that type of environment. Thank you so much for your time =)

I'm an M1 at Sinai. The rumors you've heard about people being "clicky" are absolutely ridiculous. In my class (and from what I've heard about people in other classes), everyone helps each other out. During every class, people always send out review sheets , websites, and other tips on learning the material. I really couldn't imagine a more supportive environment with other students (especially given that the grading is all pass/fail with no rankings). If you do a search and read any of my past posts about Sinai, you'll see that I love it here and have hardly any complaints. I am yet to meet anyone in my class who isn't happy here.

I'm a third-year at Sinai....it's true, everyone pretty much gets along the first two years. You need it to get through the anatomy exams. And remember, we've got the biggest backyard of any medical school!
