One of the most sought after prelim/transitional spots in manhattan and the USA. 1500 prelim applications for ~30 spots? Sweet location and housing (if you can get it). You simply cannot beat the west village for location. Work wise I hear from prelims that this has gotten alot harder over the last two years. For categorical, I hear it's not top 5 IM in NYC. I will tell you the categorical scoup after I visit there later on. 🙂
