I'm trying to figure out the list of programs I am going to apply to for IM. The issue is I am dual applying and so I have to apply transitional and categorical. But the question is which programs do I apply categorical for IM and which transitional? I'm specifically curious about PA and NJ are there any programs that stand out better as transitional year programs? How do the IM programs rank in competitiveness?
Here is my list that I am thinking of applying categorical:
Penn State University
Einstein Medical Center
Drexel University
HUP
Pennsylvania Hospital
Temple
Thomas Jefferson
Crozer-Chester Medical Center Upland, PA
York Hospital
Prelim/Transit:
Abington Hospital
Geisinger Health System Program Danville, PA
Mercy Catholic Medical Center Program Darby, PA
Pinnacle Health Program - Harrisburg, PA
Lankenau Hospital Program Wynnewood, PA
*St. Lukes Hospital Bethlehem, PA
*Reading Hospital West Reading, PA
*Lehigh Valley Hospital Allentown, PA
Some of the prelim programs have categorical programs and vice versa. How does this list look? Should I take any off the prelim list and put in the categorical list or vice versa?
Any help would be appreciated!!
