Which school is better and why? Definitely both have a nice location, but what are the clinical/research benefits of each? Anybody have a real preference between the two?
correction, they posted 2007's match list:

vs. MSSM match list:

you make the call....
i can't open nyu's. mssm matched 10 ppl to optho? that seems really unusual.
I'm not very familiar with what to look for on the matchlist, but why do you say that Mount Sinai's matchlist doesn't blow you away? I mean they seem to match a lot of people to the NYC residencies which I'm guessing are all very good.
you have to click the link and then goto the link given on the page. It works fine on my computer...
i "click here to view the list" and it indicates an "error on page." oh well.
does this work?

if you want the competitive specialties they are
Ophthalmology - 8
Anesthesiology - 7
Dermatology - 3
Plastics - 2
Rads - 8
Rad Onc - 2
Neurosurg - 4
Looks like most go to NYU, followed by a healthy mix of Harvard, UPenn, Yale, Cornell, UCLA, Mt. Sinai, Einstein affiliates
NYU is weird with residencies, some years they'll match 16 Rads and little Neurosurg and Derm and vice versa - from what I gather everyone pretty much can get the specialty of their choice coming from there
wow when you click on the link, that match list is actually really impressive. I knew they did well but they had quite a few in the boston hospitals(aka harvard) and a bunch at UPenn, yale, etc. and a range of fields..looks like they have the northeast residencies on lock down...might have to reconsider my stance on NYU
when judging match lists let's not forget that NYU's class is significantly larger (33%) than Mount Sinai's, and the specialty people match into is based on their preferences. You just can't total up the number of lifestyle specialties to determine the quality of a match list.
Coming from NYU or Mount Sinai, you will match well if you did well during medical school. Go to wherever you liked more based on the interview/2nd look visit.
I don't understand what you meant about the specialty people matching based on their preferences, i guess I am unfamiliar with the whole match list thing. could you please explain that to me?

from what i gather from the previous threads, NYU matches better in more competitive residencies, and MSSM is coming back from some significant financial problems....
i've gathered quite the contrary from previous threads--that both schools pretty much match the same. i think you'd be making a mistake if you let your (necessarily limited, despite trying to read more into it) interpretation of match lists dictate where you go, when there's really no difference in this regard. you should also disregard that nyu has been steadily slipping in the usnews rankings. *the names of both schools will take you equally far.* it's time to focus on which school is cheaper or will make you happier or something else.
and nyu is still trying to get out of debt itself (both schools partitioned debt after the failed merger). a newsletter you can download off nyu's website discusses this.
The one listed above is the 2006..
Thanks!
