Hard to say without knowing what you are looking for. Do you have geographic preference? Lots of research or mostly clinical? Also where did you feel most comfortable during the interview?

Personally, I am only familiar with Emory and Baylor. I liked Emory much better although it seems as if the residents were a little stressed and didn't receive as much formal didactics. Very strong program though. I wasn't too impressed with Baylor. The residents are spread over 6 hospitals and seemed like they were worked hard. 6 hospitals= 6 passwords= 6 charting systems= lots of headaches. Also I was turned off by the low resident turnout at the dinner and very few said hello during the interview day. Good program, but I would put Emory higher than Baylor.

As for the others, I can't help you.

Thanks for your opinion. Any other inputs please?
