I'm looking to go to NYC because I've always wanted to live there and my partner is there. From my quick browse of past and current threads, I thought it my be appropriate to make an NYC specific section.
I'm wondering if anyone could tell me what they know of the pros and cons of the different NYC programs? Has anyone else heard negative utterances about Cornell? I have heard the following--unhappy, rundown residents, a pretentious, snotty PD with minimal contact with residents but whose greatest trait is that she's well connected and pushes hard for fellowships. I've also heard the Manhattan campus mostly serves upper class white people. Besides the name, its affiliation with Columbia and the Westchester campus, are there other upsides?
I've heard Columbia is amazing with incredible research, great PDs, cool and down to earth residents and a diverse clinical experience. Downside is location and... anything else? Anyone know-is Washington Heights dangerous? Where do people live?
NYU seems interesting but I hear there's serious resident burnout and that--given how strong a program it is--residents go on to do relatively few fellowships. Is it the easiest program to get an interview at? I hear most people who rank it #1 get it, which is appealing. Has anyone else heard that?
What do people know about Mount Sinai? I hadn't heard of it until recently in the news but it sounds like it's growing and has some of the best researchers? How is it clinically? Is it one the upper east side or in Harlem? Are the residents any good? How about the PD(s)?
1) Where are residents happiest?
2) Aside from these 4, which other programs are good?
3) Why is Sinai considered the worst of the 4?
4) Which NYC programs have people heard from?
5) What do people hear about the different PDs and quality of residents?
6) Is Cornell flexible, happy or current? Do you think it has a bright future?
Would appreciate peoples' thoughts!!
