Hi med students. I've decided to share how I would view programs this year in light of all the changes in RO and this being a buyers market. Welcome other's opinions.
This is based on my personal experience via interviews, researching on my own, talking with friends at other programs, future job prospects, location, and research opportunities.
I am breaking programs into only 3 sections so don't get offended ppl (top, average, decline). If you're not top, then you're average. And yes I prefer biryani locations
Top 3
MDACC, Harvard, MSKCC
Still Top Tier worth graduating from
Cleveland Clinic, Penn, UCSF, Hopkins, Wash U, Duke
Top tier but Malignant
Stanford, Michigan
Great City but average program
Emory, UCLA, USC, UCSD, NYU, Mt. Sinai, Columbia, Northwestern, Rush, Loyola, Fox Chase, USC, Colorado, Miami, Moffitt, Mt. Sinai, OHSU, Vanderbilt, Univ Washington, UTSW
Great City but average and malignant program
Cornell, Montefiore, Univ Chicago, Jefferson
Average City and avg program
UF, Yale, Wisconsin, Maryland, MCW, UAB, UNC, Ohio St, Pitt, UVA, VCU, Utah, Cincinnati, Mayo Clinic AZ
Not worth it IMO (criteria is some combo of new program + avg program + below avg city + reputation)
Oklahoma, Cedars Sinai, LIJ, Kaiser, Georgetown, Indiana, Beaumont, Buffalo, UMDNJ, Univ Rochester, Univ Arizona
LOWEST TIER (some combo of new program + bad reputation + below below avg location + job prospect?)
NYP Methodist, UT Galveston, Dartmouth, Univ Tennessee, West Virginia, Arkansas, City of Hope, Nebraska, Stony Brook, Mississippi, Kansas, SUNY Downstate, Minnesota, Wayne State, Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, UC Irvine, Loma Linda, NCI, Allegheny, UT SA, Texas AM, Iowa, Kentucky, SUNY Upstate, Louisville, Case Western, Baylor, Wake Forest, MUSC, UC Davis
